The Princess of Wales has visited a college in Derby alongside Captain Preet Chandi MBE to celebrate the Army officer's return from her solo expedition across Antarctica, Dailymail reports.

Kate, 41, was the patron of Capt Chandi's expedition, where she broke the world record for the furthest unsupported solo polar ski expedition in history after covering 922 miles in 70 days and 16 hours. 

Looking typically stylish, the royal mother-of-three opted for a white £69.99, double-breasted blazer from Zara for the engagement. Kate debuted a now favoured red version of the jacket in 2020.

The visit to Landau Forte College in Capt Chandi's hometown kicks off the Army officer's UK-wide tour of schools, during which she will share her story with the next generation.

During today's outing, Capt Chandi, dubbed 'Polar Preet', made a speech to students about her expedition and was joined by Kate in presenting an award to Simrat Soggi, one of the winners of the officer's national school logo competition.
