Duchess Kate legs it to Gary Barlow gig

One of the first things they teach you at Royal School is how to get in and out of cars without disgracing yourself, and it looks like the Duchess of Cambridge has been a model pupil.

Kate and hubby Prince William joined Prince Charles and Camilla Duchess of Cornwall for a concert in aid of The Prince's Trust at the Royal Albert Hall last night.

And despite the cold weather Kate rocked up in an uncharacteristically short dress and navigated the precarious "getting out of the car moment" with ease - the secret is in keeping one's knees together, in case you were wondering.

The gig was organised by X Factor head judge Gary Barlow and saw him belting out a selection of Take That hits, plus there were also appearances from Lulu, Jason Donovan and the ubiquitous Olly Murs.

And fashion fans may wish to note that Kate was apparently wearing a dress from Zara, the high street clothing chain.
