The Duchess of Cambridge was flying the flag last night at a glitzy cocktail bash to promote the best of Britain.

Elegant Kate, who was without her husband, Prince William, was attending a Creative Industries reception at the Royal Academy of Arts in London’s Piccadilly to support the Government’s GREAT Campaign.

Wearing a dove grey dress by designer Roksanda Ilincic, Serbian born but a graduate of Central St Martin's, the Duchess swept down the red carpet prompting a battery of camera flashes.
