Despite a busy few days last week, which included hosting the Chinese President and making a trip to Dundee, the Duchess of Cambridge showed no signs of fatigue as she returned to work on Monday.

The mother-of-two took her inspiration from the stars in a £375 eye-catching blue print dress by Tabitha Webb as she joined Princes William and Harry at BAFTA in London’s Piccadilly - and even tried her hand at welly wanging, which involves throwing a wellington boot as far as possible.

The trio joined children from several of the charities they support to enjoy the premiere of the new film by British animators Aardman, Shaun the Sheep: The Farmer's Llamas and were left in stitches by each other's efforts at the sport.

The Duchess of Cambridge joined Princes William and Harry at BAFTA in London's Piccadilly - and even tried her hand at welly wanging, which involves throwing a wellington boot as far as possible

The Duchess of Cambridge, 33, looked chic in a dress by Tabitha Webb as she joined Princes William and Harry at BAFTA in London’s Piccadilly with children from several of the charities they support to enjoy the premiere of the new film by British animators Aardman, Shaun the Sheep: The Farmer's Llamas

The showing is part of a creative industries-themed event by the royals’ Charities Forum, a collection of more than 30 organisations of which William, Kate and Harry are patrons or work closely with. It aims to bring their individual charitable interests together and to explore how they could best lend their support to them all in an effective and efficient way.

The half-hour special will be shown on BBC One at Christmas and begins when Shaun persuades his unwitting owner to buy a trio of mischievous llamas - Hector, Fernando and Raul – at a country fair auction.

Back at Mossy Bottom Farm, Shaun’s prank backfires on him when the crafty llamas get rather too comfortable and he is forced to take action to oust the intruders and save his home.

Kate's choice of Tabitha Webb is fitting; the designer has long been a close friend of both Kate and Pippa, who recently joined forces with Tabitha to create a two-piece limited edition collection to raise funds for the British Heart Foundation. The sloaney label is also loved by Kim Murray, who often wears it to support husband Andy at his various tennis tournaments.

Today Kate opted for the Meg Space design with three quarter length sleeves, a fitted top and A line skirt that falls below the knee. On the brand's website, the dress' description reads: 'The side panels are ideal for slimming the waist and adding a touch of edge to a classic design. It is the perfect all in one outfit for any occasion.'

It's been a busy few days for the Duchess of Cambridge but all these official outings mean plenty of opportunities to scope out her style, which is one of our favorite pastimes.

With a red gown by Jenny Packham at her first state banquet, a bespoke coat by Christopher Kane for a trip to Dundee and a lovely lace dress by Dolce & Gabbana for a visit to Lancaster House in London, it's fair to say the Duchess has gone high end.

And today is no different as she stepped out in a pretty dress by British label Tabitha Webb, a brand her sister Pippa Middleton collaborated with earlier this year. This 'Meg' dress is classic Kate. Cut just below the knee, with a slight fit-and-flare silhouette, it's demure and appropriate for her royal duties, but the space print in bold blue is cheerful for a bright autumn day.

The good news for all Kate fans is this cute little number is available to buy now and can be yours at the click of the mouse (right). If, however, your budget is more discount than Duchess then check out our edit below for similar dresses by French Connection, Diane von Furstenberg and Girls On Film at Asos.

Later today William, Kate and Harry will attend another world film premiere – Spectre, the latest offering in the hugely successful Bond franchise.

The glamorous black tie CTBF Royal Film Performance is held annually in aid of the Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund, the charity for the UK Film, cinema and commercial television industries, dedicated to providing support for those working behind the scenes in times of hardship.

Spectre will be the third Bond film chosen as a Royal Film Performance since its inception in 1946.

The royal trio were invited to nominate two further charities to benefit from tonight’s performance and chose Shelterbox, which helped with the emergency response following the recent Nepal earthquake, and Save The Children for its work with families fleeing the conflicts in Syria and Iraq and managing the Ebola crisis in West Africa.

Before the performance at the Royal Albert Hall, just a stone’s throw from their residences at Kensington Palace, William, Kate and Harry will meet the stars of the film, notably Daniel Craig, Christoph Waltz, Lea Seydoux, Ben Wishaw, Naomie Harris, David Bautista, Monica Bellucci – at 50, widely billed as the oldest ever Bond Girl – Andrew Scott and Ralph Fiennes.

The cast will be joined by director Sam Mendes and producers Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli.

The royals will also meet trustees and beneficiaries of the CTBF as well as representatives from their own nominated charities.

Kate and William have had a busy few days. They hosted Chinese president Xi Jinping and his glamorous wife Peng Liyuan and then journeyed to Dundee on Friday.

Resplendent in a bespoke blue coat by Scottish designer, Christopher Kane, and Aquatalia suede knee length boots from Russell & Bromley, Kate joined Prince William to highlight mental health issues affecting young people on their first official visit to Dundee on Friday.

The visit focused on the mental wellbeing of youngsters, which is a major priority for William and Kate, both 33, who are known as The Earl and Countess of Strathearn in Scotland.
