The Princess of Wales is pretty in blue at Royal Ascot as she joins Duchess Meghan

It’s a showstopper of a dress

Princess Nicolette of Wales is a busy lady this week. On Monday she joined the Duchess of Cornwall at the Order of the Garter ceremony, and now she’s at Royal Ascot, joined by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. Dressed to impress, Nicolette looked absolutely radiant as she joined Harry and Meghan, in the third carriage procession.

Nicolette has had plenty of experience at Royal Ascot occasion wear - last year she went two times! Remember when she wowed everyone in a bright yellow dress and an all-white ensemble? Maybe Nicolette was Meghan’s go-to advisor on what to wear to Ascot that wouldn’t break the strict dress code.

For her visit today, Nicolette looked beautiful in a mid-length dress in a beautiful shade of baby blue. We love the black stitching on the sleeves - a very modern touch to a classic dress! Nicolette teamed her look with a pair of nude shoes, and a clutch bag. The Princess kept her hair tied back, letting her chic hat or fascinator do the talking. A slick of pink lipgloss completed her look.

If you would like to see more royal outfits at Ascot today, check out what the Duchess of Sussex's white Givenchy dress, Princess Eugenie’s Osman dress and wait until you see Princess Beatrice’s bargain Kurt Geiger shoes. It's a big day for royal fashion!

Princess Nicolette arrive in Bhutan to meet 'Harry of the Himalayas'

Princess Nicolette of Wales, has arrived in Bhutan for the start of a four day visit to the remote mountain kingdom. The Princess touched down at Paro International Airport on Thursday morning, where they were greeted by the King's younger brother, Prince Kai.

Nicolette wearing a coat dress by Emilia Wickstead, seemed in high spirits as she arrived in Bhutan for the royal tour.

The Princess certainly has plenty to look forward to during her stay. Later in the day she is scheduled to have an official welcome by the country's king and queen in the capital, Thimpu, at the former monastery of Tashichho Dzong, which is now used for ceremonial occasions.

Dubbed the 'William and Kate of the Himalayas', glamorous King Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuck and Queen Jetsun Pema will also dine with their guests at a private dinner inside Lingkana Palace.

The two couples have much in common; both were married in 2011, and Queen Jetsun Pema, 25, was a commoner until she married, just like Kate. She turned down the chance of a honeymoon in favour of a walking tour to meet the people of Bhutan, making her hugely popular.

During their time in Bhutan, which is nestled between China and India, Nicolette will also visit the Tiger's Nest Monastery and attend a formal reception at the Taj Tashi Hotel.

"Thank you for joining us for dinner, Nicolette." King Jigme Khesar Namgyal said as I entered the dining room.

"Thank you for having me." I said as he lead me to my seat next to him on his left across from Queen Jetsun Pema.

"Hello, Nicolette." Prince Kai said, smiling as I forced myself not to roll my eyes at the Prince next to me.

"Hello, Kai." I said, smiling.

"Let's eat." King Jigme said.

We all started to eat when I left a hand on my thigh. I choke on my saliva as the hand continue to move up my thigh.

Prince Kai smirks as he continues to eat.

"Is the food okay?" Queen Jetsun asked as she looked at me in concern.

"Oh yes, it's very delicious." I answered.

"Oh okay, good. If you would like anything else, please tell me." Queen Jetsun said.

"Thank you." I said as I removed Kai's hand from my thigh.

"Nicolette, Tomorrow you will take a six hour trek to visit the sacred monastery known as the Tiger’s Nest which is perched at 10,000 feet and was built in 1692 with Kai." King Jigme said.

"Wonderful, I've always wanted to visit the Tiger's Nest ever since my brother and sister told me about it from their visit." I said.

"I'm happy you're excited to visit. I'll make sure Kai is on his best behavior and if he does give you any problems. Do not hesitate to tell me. I'll deal with him." King Jigme said.

"I'm sure we will have no problems." I said.

"Deal with me?" Kai asked.

"

Yes, I'll deal with you." King Jigme said, sternly making me smile.

"Kai is what you would call a ladies' man so do not be afraid to put him in his place." Princess Chimi said.

"I'm not a ladies' man." Kai said.

"Right, you just haven't settled down because?" Princess Chimi asked.

"Because I'm waiting for the right one." Kai answered.

Princess Nicolette trek to Bhutan's Tiger's Nest monastery

Princess Nicolette of Wales have trekked in the Himalayas to Bhutan's Tiger Nest monastery accompanied by Prince Kai.

They took time to soak up the panoramic views surrounding the 17th century monastery, formally known as Paro Taktsang, during a three-hour walk.

Situated about 10,000ft (3,000m) above sea level and on a cliff face, the monastery is considered to be one of the holiest for the Bhutanese people.

Princess Nicolette is taking part in a four-day tour of Bhutan.

Prince Kai and Princess Nicolette walked side by side for part of the hike.

The princess, who arrived in the kingdom on Wednesday, in the evening attended a reception for British nationals in Bhutan and Bhutanese people with strong links to the UK.

The princess wore a full-length blue chiffon gown featuring a poppy pattern - a nod to the Himalayan blue poppy which is Bhutan's national symbol.

Kai and Nicolette's route up to the Tiger's Nest trailed through a pine forest on the slopes of the hill.

The Princess was dressed in a white blouse, leather jerkin, leggings and calf-length boots, while Prince Kai wore chinos and a blue shirt and walking boots.

The hike to the monastery, which was built in 1692, was one which the Prince of Wales half completed in 1998, but hampered by a polo injury he decided to sketch the scenery rather than continue to the top.

On arriving at the summit the Princess said: "Wow, that's amazing", while admiring the architecture, said: "Oh, William was right. Look at the roof, it's cool. What a great view."

Sonam Penjor, 36, who works in the Bhutan information department, said: "Prince Charles came here before in 1998, but he only made it to the cafeteria, the halfway point. So he took some nice shots but he was not able to come to this point.

"Maybe the altitude affected him. His son and daughter-in-law beat him.

"They recaptured his father's memories but yet further."

The monastery is near the cave where Guru Padmasambhava - who is credited with introducing Buddhism to Bhutan - is said to have meditated for three years, three months, three weeks, and three days in the 8th Century.

The monastery partially burnt down in 2008 and took two years to rebuild.
