Princess Kate and Prince William have greeted the Qatar royal family in a major royal event following the Princess of Wales’ cancer treatment.
The couple were pictured smiling with the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and his wife Sheikha Jawaher.
The future Queen looked elegant in a fitted burgundy coat by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen and a hat by Sahar Millinery as she stood alongside William and the VIP guests inside the residence in London.
She also sported a pearl necklace by the late Queen and had her hair done in a low chignon as she was seen in conversation with Sheikha Jawaher.
Kate is taking on a major role today as the two-day state visit officially begins with a ceremony in Whitehall.

It is her first appearance at a state visit since her cancer diagnosis.
The last time the Waleses held this important role was for the state visit of the South Korean President last November.
They will then travel with them to Horse Guards Parade, where The Amir and Sheikha Jawaher will receive a Ceremonial Welcome before being formally welcomed by the King at the Royal Pavilion.
Kate has been gradually returning to royal duties after she announced in September she had completed her chemotherapy treatment and her focus was “doing what I can to stay cancer-free”.
