Princess Kate made a quick outfit change after arriving at Buckingham Palace to attend a private lunch and view a display of Qatari artefacts from the Royal Collection.
On Tuesday morning, the Prince and Princess of Wales received the Emir and Sheikha Jawaher at their residence on behalf of The King.
The royal pair then joined the King and Qatari leader for the Horse Guards Parade in London.
Kate swapped her knee-high Gianvito Rossi boots for a pair of heels from the same brand to match her burgundy coat dress by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen.

The stylish boots are thought to be new, as the Princess usually dons the suede Gianvito Rossi 105 pumps to match the outfit colour.
