Kate Middleton returned to royal duties today after a two month break from the spotlight, opting for an incredibly classy outfit.

Kate's RAF Brize Norton tour will allowed her to meet a number of people who assisted the UK's evacuation of civilians from Afghanistan in the past weeks. 

The Duchess was photographed smiling and chatting to staff who were directly involved in the Afghanistan effort, including RAF aircrew and medics who assisted refugees at Kabul Airport.

Kate was last seen publicly at London's Wembley Stadium at the final of the Euros back on the 11th July, with her two month absence from royal work sparking pregnancy rumours.

Despite speculation that Kate stepped away from public view because she is expecting her fourth child, it's more likely that she was simply spending time with Prince William and their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
