UPDATED: Kate in Burberry for Engagements in Moray and Inverness

The Prince and Princess of Wales, styled as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay in Scotland, visited organisations supporting rural communities in Moray and Inverness today. The 'away day' also saw an opportunity to spend time with organisations supporting young people through access to outdoor excursions and learning opportunities. 

Their first port of call was Outfit Moray in Burghead.

Outfit Moray is an award-winning charity and social company that was founded in 2003 and provides young people in Moray with programs that offer outdoor learning and adventure activities that can change their lives. More than 16,000 children and young people have benefited from their work, which focuses on fostering resilience, self-worth, and confidence in addition to offering good role models and challenging and positively risk-taking young people to gain new experiences and life skills.

Outfit Moray aims to make a difference to the lives of others, by actively developing the potential of young people, their families and communities, through accessible and affordable outdoor learning and adventure: encouraging life skills and improving physical and mental health. The charity is a recipient of the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service. 

Kensington Palace noted: "Outfit Moray runs a large range of activities designed to build confidence, self-esteem and resilience including mountain biking, paddlesports, rock climbing, archery, and bushcraft. It also runs a number of programmes in local schools such as cycle training, bike maintenance and first aid programmes".

The Telegraph notes:

'While speaking to pupils at Burghead primary school, the Prince answered questions from pupils, including from one pupil who asked if he had brought any soldiers of the King’s Guard with him, while the Princess of Wales volunteered to time a bike race between some of the other children.

One child asked the Prince how old he was and when he prompted the child to guess his age, they said they thought he was 57.

The 41-year-old Prince, feigning shock, said, “I’m not that old.”

The Duke and Duchess participated in a mountain bike session in action at Burghead Primary School.

People reports:

'Martin Collins, the acting head of the primary school, told MFR News and Sport that Princess Kate was "really just involved with the boys and girls."

"One of the boys fell over as well, and she was really — sort of came to him and nudged him back, so that was really nice to see," he added.

Children spoke with the outlet about their experiences interacting with Prince William and Princess Kate. One girl said they asked about the children's favorite sports, adding, "Prince William likes football."

From there, the Duke and Duchess visited Brodieshill Farm where they met members of the Lower Speyside Young Farmers as well as representatives from Farmstrong Scotland, which are both working to promote positive mental wellbeing in rural communities across Scotland and support local farmers.

Kensington Palace said "Lower Speyside Young Farmers is run for young people from any background from the ages of 14 to 29 across the local area and provides opportunities for socialising and interaction in what can sometimes be an isolating environment. The group has a strong presence in the local community and has recently taken part in the “Are ewe okay” campaign, led by the Scottish Association of Young Farmer Clubs, which encourages members to talk about mental health and break down the stigma and taboo associated with it".

Farmstrong Scotland is committed to the wellbeing of farmers and rural communities and runs programmes to improve individual mental and physical wellbeing and, in the process, supports local businesses to thrive.

During the visit, William and Kate met families who attend regular sessions at the farm’s dedicated play area. Developed to provide a space for young children to explore and learn, Brodieshill offers an indoor and outdoor area for child-led play where families, including those based at nearby RAF Kinloss and RAF Lossiemouth, can focus and reconnect with their children, and get together regularly as a group.

The Duchess met a darling little girl who was eager to show Kate her wings.

Finally, the Duke and Duchess visited Highland based charity DAY1.

The youth-focused organisation specialises in mentoring. 

Dylan Mackay told the Northern Times, "I’ve been here a year and a half and it has been brilliant getting on the track, meeting with like-minded folk and learning new skills. It has given me a lot of confidence. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to stand and chat to the royal couple and probably wouldn’t have been able to not so long ago, but they were very down-to-earth and they chatted away very easily. It was all very light-hearted".

Kate selected a past season Burberry check quilted jacket for the day (with thanks to Middleton Maven).

The piece is described as:

'No stranger to combining House codes, British label Burberry gives its coveted quilted coat a signature refresh for the new season. Cloaked with a heritage-inspired check pattern, this lightweight silhouette is gently filled for extra warmth during chillier seasons and cut to a short fit that’s perfect for inner city or country styling.'

The composition of the piece: Lining: 40% Cotton, 60% Cupro, 100% Polyester.

Middleton Maven also suggests the Princess wore a past season cashmere turtleneck by Polo Ralph Lauren. 

Kate wore the same chocolate brown boots as yesterday. With better photos, the eagled eyed Susan from What Kate Wore believes they are in fact not the Reiss Thea style. As of publishing this post, they remain unidentified. 

And Kate accessorised with her Spells of Love teardrop garnet earrings.
