Always one to dress for the occasion, the Duchess of Cambridge recently appeared in full Canada Day spirit for her latest official address.

Speaking alongside her husband Prince William on July 1, the couple chatted with Fraser Health staff and medical staff working at Surrey Memorial Hospital.

In a video call shared online, the Duke and Duchess thanked frontline workers across Canada for their efforts in helping to protect and support their communities.

“It’s an amazing role that you’re playing, and a hugely tough one as well,” the 38-year-old mum of three expressed in the video posted to the official Kensington Royal Twitter account, as well as on YouTube.

“We’re in huge admiration for everything you’re doing.”

In honour of the Canadian national holiday, the Duchess appeared on screen wearing an appropriately themed red and white dress. Designed by British label Alexander McQueen, it originally retailed for nearly $1,700 and has since sold out.
