The Duchess in Dolce & Gabbana for Final Day of Royal Tour!

William and Kate began the final day of their visit to Norway at the Hartvig Nissen School, which was the location for the hugely successful Norwegian television programme 'Skam'.

The first engagement of the day focused on young people and learning more about a popular television show focusing on issues facing teenagers and mental health.


The couple spent time meeting members of the crowd during a walkabout.


Kate chatted about her A-levels and St Andrews. The Duchess "After school I went onto university where I met William, St Andrews University in Scotland, But I can't complain about that being here".

The Telegraph reports: She also spoke to 19-year-old Shaun Ondo and his 18-year-old friend Alfred Strande. "I told her that her coat was burgundy and she said I had very good English," said Mr Ondo. "It was nice to see them in real life and nice to see they are such friendly people." His friend Mr Strande said: "We don't know much about the royal people from England. It was good that they took the time to say hello and shake hands." Kate also asked some teens if they "have got exams coming up this summer? Good luck with everything."


William and Kate were joined by Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit.


Skam is a drama series highlighting teenagers and the challenges young people can experience growing up, such as identity issues, bullying, relationships, sexual assault, and eating disorders. Following on from the theme lines of the show, the characters started their own social media profiles to engage with the audience watching directly, creating an international following and fan base.


The royals met the cast and discussed the themes covered in the show.


Skam follows a new main character each season. While airing, a new clip, conversation or social media post was published in real-time on the NRK website on a daily basis. Each season focuses on particular topics, ranging from relationship difficulties to mental health struggles. Despite no promotion ahead of its 2015 launch, Skam broke viewership records. The show has received critical acclaim and significant recognition for its portrayal of sexual abuse in the second season and homosexuality in the third. It was praised for its contributions to promote Norwegian language and culture, and is notable for having ushered a new form of entertainment by real-time, high-engagement, snippet-based distribution. It received multiple Norwegian awards, including best drama and innovation.

From there, William and Kate travelled to to Skaugum, the official residence of The Crown Prince and Princess of Norway, for a private lunch.


They were joined by the couple's adorable dog Milly Kakao.


Kate seemed quite taken with Milly Kakao.


The labradoodle joined the family in 2009 and is regularly photographed on trips and at home with Haakon, Mette-Marit and their family. I must admit, I love the fact Milly Kakao has a photo album named after her on the royals official website. You can view the very sweet images here. Can you imagine Lupo and the corgis taking centre stage on the BRF website :)


The estate is located about 12 miles southwest of Oslo, by the foot of the mountain Skaugumsåsen. The estate consists of 480,000 square meters of agricultural lands and 500,000 square meters of woodlands.


The Duchess wrapped up in a plum Dolce & Gabbana coat today. The double breasted piece features military style gold buttons. Below, we show the coat in black.


The $2,675 piece is described as "Crafted of luxurious virgin wool, the design is characterised by its two line button fastening, classic collar, piqued shoulders and slim long sleeves, drawing in at the waist with darts and falling with a gentle flare to the knee. A coat is complete with two flap pockets, a rear central vent and a full leopard print lining, a signature of the house."


Underneath, the Duchess wore a gorgeous dress by Norwegian brand byTiMo. The Black Lace Trimmed Shift Dress features oval-heckled lace detailing on the collar, on the shoulders and in the waistline. The floral print piece is from the Pre Spring 2018 Collection. It's available for $285 at Tuckernuck and on the byTiMo website. It is thought the neckline on Kate's dress has been modified.
