For a few minutes, Tour de France riders’ thoughts on the harsh
competition ahead were distracted by the beautiful Duchess Kate as she
arrived by helicopter on Saturday at the 18th century stately home
Harewood House near Leeds with Prince William and Prince Harry.
The ravishing Duchess had the distinguished job of cutting the white
ribbon marking the start of the biggest bike race in the world,
the 101st Tour de France.
Thousands of people had gathered on the streets to get a glimpse of
the cyclists and the royals as they got ready for the “Grand Depart” and
before cutting the ribbon, Prince William and his brother Harry had a
nice chat with British reigning Tour de France champion, Chris Froome.
Duchess Kate reused her green wool-crepe Erdem coat which we also saw in Australia in April. She matched the coat with her L.K. Bennett Avona Patent Leather Roll Clutch in light taupe patent leather, her favourite L.K. Bennett Sledge Pumps and her green silk tea dress from Suzannah which she wore earlier this week at her visit to The Butterfly Exhibit at the Natural History Museum.
