The Princess of Wales delighted a group of primary school children this afternoon as she boarded a train at Bath station.
The royal family, 41, visited Dame Kelly Holmes’ trust headquarters in the city today – where they played with Love Island’s Zara McDermott and pupils supported by the organisation.
The mum-of-three wore a £359 bright yellow blazer from LK Bennett, which she paired with a white t-shirt and matching trousers and £120 Veja sneakers.
After the engagement came to an end, Kate was seen boarding the train from Bath railway station with her team.
As the Princess of Wales walked down the platform, she beamed at the schoolchildren waiting for their train back to Warminster.

She then walked and asked, “Where are you going?”
After being told to wait for their train to Warminster, Kate gave a thumbs up and said, “Happy school trips!”
The princess added, “What are you learning about?”
The child counselors replied: ‘Trains and orienteering.’
The 15 second video ends with Kate giving the kids one last wave before they rush to the train.
Platform Rail captioned the images: ‘Wow – a real royal surprise for students waiting for a train home with us today
‘HRH The Princess of Wales taking the time to say hello and ask the children about their trip was a better end to the day than we could have ever planned for!’

Since the clip was uploaded this afternoon, the video has garnered more than 31,000 views and 1,220 likes.
One replied, ‘OMG those lucky kids. Our Princess of Wales is the sweetest woman.’
“That’s our princess,” added another.
“Getting some fresh air for Catherine and taking the time to interact with people as usual,” said a third.

The children of St Katherine’s School in Bristol took part in the On Track To Achieve program this afternoon, led by their athlete mentor and Paralympic gold medalist Liz Johnson.
In the bright summer sun, the opposing groups had to take turns running forward and throwing a bean bag on a grid on the floor.
Kate tried her best, but Dame Kelly’s team won twice.
After the first win, the track and field star held up her arms and admitted that she is “somewhat competitive”.
The princess quipped, “You would never have guessed.”
Dame Kelly founded her national youth development organization based on the belief that every young person needs a champion.
She also spoke to Dame Kelly, the president of the charity that founded the organization in 2008 to help young people

It pairs world-class athletes with young people, who may lack self-confidence or have other issues, so that the athletes can pass on their winning mentality and help the schoolchildren develop the skills and confidence they need to succeed in life.
The princess later sat down to chat with the students, all girls aged 11 to 13, who talked about their experiences at school, life at home and the benefits of being mentored by a sports star.
Kate swept her hair into her favorite bouncy blow-dry style for the engagement and opted for a neutral makeup look.
For the occasion, she dabbed some blush on her cheeks and a dab of eyeliner on her eyelids.
Meanwhile, she kept her jewelery to a minimum and wore her £795 earrings from Emily Mortimer.
The brand, which is a favorite of Kate’s sister-in-law Meghan, describes the earrings online as “versatile” jewels that are “the most sparkling pavé diamonds.”
