Kate, 34, will leave nothing to chance. The mom of Prince George, 2, and Princess Charlotte, 11 months, created a “look book,” says the source, outlining what to wear “for every minute of the visit.”

She’ll mix up favorite labels, such as Temperley London and Alexander McQueen, with native designers for the tour. Adds the insider, “It’s tradition for royals to embrace local designers on foreign trips.”
