On Thursday, William and Kate met with wheelchair basketball players hoping to compete in Birmingham’s 2022 Commonwealth Games. The Duke even participated himself, shooting (and scoring!) while sitting in a wheelchair.
While William kept his attire in-line with past engagements, wearing a navy suit with an open collar, Kate broke from her norm, opting for a floral blouse peaking from beneath an ivory coat, black pumps, and *gasp* – trousers.
