Kate Middleton wears £14,000 outfit to pay respects at Leicester City Football Club

The fitted jacket flared slightly at the waist, with neat pleats from the waist down.

Completing her formal ensemble, the mother of Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis wore her favourite pair of black suede shoes with a chunky high heel for comfort. They are from Tods, and cost £335.

In a bid to battle the breeze, Kate wore her brunette locks in a tidy pony tail scraped off of her face.

She accessorised with a pair of large pearl earrings by Cassandra Goad, £4360, and arrived with a stylish, small black Mayfair handbag, £495, Aspinal, in hand. A Cartier Ballon Bleu watch, £6350, completed the outfit.

The family of Vichai were also in attendance and were pictured viewing the tribute site near to the football club.

The four victims killed alongside businessman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha were employees Nursara Suknamai and Kaveporn Punpare, pilot Eric Swaffer and his partner, Izabela Roza Lechowicz, who was also a professional pilot.

The five people were killed on October 27 when the helicopter crashed outside Leicester City’s King Power Stadium soon after taking off.

In the aftermath of the crash, William paid tribute to the “big contribution to football” made by the owner of Leicester City.

William, president of the Football Association and a keen football fan, said he was lucky to have known the billionaire duty-free entrepreneur for several years.

He said at the time: “He made such a big contribution to football, not least through Leicester City’s magical 2016 season that captured the imagination of the world.”

The Duke and Duchess began the day by visiting the tribute site near the stadium to pay their respects to those killed in the accident, before meeting with a group of players and members of the club’s management team.

The couple will also meet volunteers and club supporters who helped to relocate the thousands of tributes, which were left outside the front of the stadium, to their present site.

Afterwards, the Cambridges will visit King Power Stadium where they will meet representatives from local charities who were supported by the club’s owner.

After, the couple will visit the University of Leicester to hear about some of the educational programmes Leicester City has helped to support.

Ahead of their visit, Kensington Palace said in a tweet: “Their Royal Highnesses knew the Club’s Chairman, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, and wanted to visit the city to recognise the warmth and compassion that the people of Leicester and fans of @LCFC have shown in reaction to the accident.
