She also made a formal visit to the Grand Ducal Palace, where she met with Luxembourg's Grand Duke Henri and his wife, Grand Duchess Maria Teresa. The monarch attended Prince William and Kate's 2011 wedding in London.

Kate's visit to Luxembourg is the latest trip for England's royal family focusing on soft diplomacy. The royals' trips to European countries are being dubbed their \"Brexit charm offensive\" as the U.K. prepares to leave the European Union.

William and Kate visited Paris earlier this year and will tour Germany and Poland in July.

Kate's trip today marked her second solo tour abroad since marrying William. Kate visited the Netherlands in 2016 to promote mental health awareness, a cause she advocates with William and Prince Harry.
