The couple seemed to enjoy the engagement and were met with cheers despite Harry’s recent truth bombs.
Kate wore a £995 Holland Cooper double-breasted tartan trench coat made from merino lambs wool.
Leaving it open on the bright but cold day, she also showed off her Ceffin Eva rib-knit wool maxi dress, costing £290, with a flared skirt and funnel neck.
She accessorised it with a black clutch bag, letting her long hair blow loose in the wind.
She also wore minimal make-up, while also opting to wear Princess Diana’s earrings made of sapphire and diamond.
Kate has previously worn her warm coat as she planted a tree in memory of the late Queen at Westminster last month.

It was the couple’s first official engagement since the release of Prince Harry’s memoir.
The book details Prince harry boasting about how many Taliban fighters he killed, as well as how he lost his virginity.
He also wrote about a steamy session he had with Meghan in Soho House.
And he reveals more about the infamous argument between Meghan and Kate over the bridesmaid dresses.
The book also details how William attacked him and hurled him to the floor following a row over Meghan.
The Prince and Princess of Wales visited the new hospital to thank health workers for their commitment.
The state-of-the-art hospital is the biggest in the country and provides inpatients with ensuite bathrooms, designed to improve patient experience.

It is thought that Kate will shine a light on mental health provision while at the hospital.
Her charity work through the Royal Foundation heavily focusses on this.
She and William will also meet some of the critical care team they previously met on a video call in 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The couple and Kensington Palace so far have not commented on Prince Harry’s claims.
It follows reports that senior royals want to ban the Duke and Duchess of Sussex from the King’s Coronation this year.
Meanwhile, King Charles is also ‘carrying on as normal’ in Scotland.
The King said he was ‘very impressed’ as he was presented with a plaque made to commemorate his visit to community groups in Aberdeenshire.
Charles also drank tea with members of the Aboyne Men’s Shed, which is housed in the community shed, and watched craft skills including wood and stone carving in action.
Dressed in a hunting Stewart tartan kilt, the King then unveiled the plaque, made by Men’s Shed member Tony Atherton, to a round of applause and said: ‘I am very impressed.’
