The Cambridges Arrive in Warsaw!

The Cambridges' long awaited royal tour of Poland and Germany kicked off in style today as they arrived in Warsaw with Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

Hello George and Charlotte :)

A big smile from the Duchess as she disembarked with Charlotte from the plane.

The royals were welcomed by diplomats.

Victoria Murphy reported George was feeling a little shy and kicked William's shoes as they were greeted. Meanwhile, Charlotte appeared to enjoy shaking hands.

George, who turns four later this month, can always be replied upon for the cutest expressions :)

Ahead of the tour Kensington Palace released the following statement: "The Duke and Duchess will prioritise opportunities to meet the young people of both countries; from entrepreneurs, to mental health campaigners, and bright young talents in music and the arts. The tour will also take in the stunning scenery and architectural feats of Poland and Germany. The Duke and Duchess will wander through the beautiful market of Gdansk flanked by terracotta houses and cobbled pathways; they will take part in a rowing race on the Neckar River; and they will tour the spectacular Elbphilharmonie Concert hall in Hamburg. The five day tour will also include time acknowledging the complex 20th century histories of each country with visits to the Warsaw Rising Museum, Stutthof Concentration Camp, and the Berlin Holocaust Memorial. At each location Their Royal Highnesses will meet survivors of these periods, who will describe their personal experiences."

A nice shot of Kate and Charlotte.

Whilst we're accustomed to seeing William and Kate undertaking Commonwealth tours, it's very much a change of pace this year with a clear focus on visiting Europe and strengthening ties as the next stage of Brexit talks unfolds. The Foreign Office is deploying members of the royal family to add a touch of 'soft diplomacy'. It will be interesting to see if William elects to refer to Britain leaving the EU, as he did in Paris, in one of his speeches.

Sky News spoke to two diplomats who hailed the tour as "historic". More from Rhiannon Mills:

Speaking in Warsaw at the start of the tour, Jonathan Knott told Sky News: "One of the features as you know of the royal family is that they are apolitical, they are above politics, so this is really about the connection between peoples, between organisations. "That's one of the reasons why we've made sure that they talk both about Poland's past, but also that they see some of the potential for collaboration in future."

When asked if the Royal couple would come across anyone talking about the topics of migration and citizens rights, Mr Knott said: "I wouldn't say they were off the table but I don't think that's the kind of visit that we're on.
"This isn't a ministerial visit, this isn't a prime ministerial visit, but what I think the visit is really going to do is accelerate that process of deepening our relationships and making sure that as we go through the process of leaving the EU our relationship doesn't weaken - actually it gets stronger."

Following the arrival, George and Charlotte travelled with Nanny Maria Teresa to Belvedere Palace where the family is staying during their time in Poland. The present building is the latest of several that stood on the site since 1660.It once belonged to Poland's last king, Stanisław August Poniatowski, who used it as a porcelain-manufacturing plant. From 1818 it was the residence of Russian Grand Duke Constantine, who fled it at the beginning of the November 1830 Uprising. During World War II, the building was extensively remodelled for Hans Frank, Governor of the "General Government" of Poland. It remains one of the few original structures in Warsaw to survive World War II. Today, Belevedere is used by the government and president for ceremonial purposes.  It also serves as an official residence for heads of state on official visits to Poland and other important guests.

There has been great excitement at the Palace ahead of the visit with several special additions added to make the stay more fun for George and Charlotte.

I suspect they are going to love this :)

Next, William and Kate were officially greeted by President Duda and the First Lady at the Presidential Palace.

William and Kate chatted with the Presidential couple and posed for photos before heading inside.

The Duchess opted for her signature designer Alexander McQueen today. Kate wore the ivory Wool and Silk Blend Twill Peplum Coat (with thanks to Kate's Closet).

The coat is described as "Alexander McQueen's coat has been impeccably tailored in Italy from mid-weight ivory wool and silk-blend twill. This style has a feminine V-neckline and gently kicks out at the waist into a rippling peplum that softly folds at the back." It's currently available at Net-A-Porter reduced by 50% to $1,538.
