Kate Middleton poses in recycled outfit for the official tour portrait

Looks like the Duchess of Cambridge has taken the idea of using recycled outfits too seriously as official portraits of the newly-wedded couple show Kate wearing the same dress she wore before the royal wedding.

Kate wore the Amanda Wakeley blue suit in April when she and Prince William visited the Witton Country Park in Darwen. Complementing her blue dress in the royal portrait was William's matching coloured suit.

The official portrait was taken to mark the couple's royal tour to Canada and California. The photograph shows the Duke and the Duchess standing close together in the garden of Clarence House.

From June 30 to July 8, 2011, the Royal Couple will visit eight cities during their tour of Canada. After that, they will visit Los Angeles and the surrounding areas in the US from July 8 to July 10 before returning back.
