The Duchess of Cambridge had a sweet response when a little girl asked about her casual outfit during a trip to Cumbria.

Kate and her husband William, the Duke of Cambridge, travelled to the county to celebrate the work of local heroes, farmers, volunteers and those supporting the rural community.

Dressing down for the occasion, Kate looked stunning in a olive jacket by Troy London over a grey jumper with black skinny jeans and a pair of suede hiking boots.

However, it seems one little girl wasn’t so impressed by Kate’s casual look as she wasn’t dressed like Disney’s princess Elsa.

According to People magazine, the girl and her sister gave the Duchess a bunch of flowers as the royal met the crowds of people in Keswick.

The little girl’s dad said: “It’s a princess. You love princesses!”

He then said to Kate: “She wanted to know if you’d be wearing your Princess Elsa dress.”

Kate sweetly replied: “I know. I’m sorry. I came in my trousers and my coat because I’m going to see some sheep.”

On Tuesday, Kate and William spent time on Deepdale Hall Farm with the Brown family – who have been farming near Lake Ullswater since the 1950s – tending to their flock of Herdwick and Swaledale sheep.

They also joined them for sheep shearing, herding and dry stone walling.

The royal couple also joined the Brown family, local farmers and members of the Farmer Network to discuss some of the key challenges farmers are facing, including rural isolation, Brexit and support payments.

Later in the day, Kate and William joined the Cumbria Wildlife Trust and children from Patterdale School for an environmental educational session on the Ullswater Way.

While meeting the locals, Kate and William also came across a seven-month-old English Springer Spaniel called Prince Harry of Winterfells.
