UPDATE: Kensington Palace, after suggestions that Kate Middleton wore a real fur pom pom on her trip to Sweden, have now publicly stated that the bobble on the hat was faux.
Here is a link to the faux fur product.
Original article: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are in Stockholm for their four-day tour of Sweden and Norway, and their first engagement of the trip required their finest cold-weather gear.
On Tuesday morning, the couple embraced their competitive spirit while learning about bandy hockey in Vasaparken, an outdoor ice-skating venue in the city centre.
After watching the game, which is similar to field hockey, the pair went head-to-head in a penalty shoot-out, with William scoring two goals to Kate's one, according to multiple reports.
The Duchess, who is five months pregnant, wrapped up in a shearling coat by Burberry, a roll neck sweater by Swedish designer Fjallraven, and a Eugenia Kim pompom beanie.
William dressed for the sub-zero temperature in boots, jeans, a puffa jacket and a burgundy bobble hat.
Before the game, the royal visitors warmed up with an alcohol-free hot drink while international bandy player, Anna Widing, was on hand to share her expertise.
'Kate had played field hockey and I was expecting her to be good - and she was very good,' Widing told The Telegraph.
'She knew how to hold the stick and she had a very good swing. I was impressed.'
The couple will spend two days in Sweden before departing for Norway on Thursday. They will visit the Royal Palace of Stockholm for lunch with the King and Queen of Sweden later on Tuesday, before attending a black tie dinner with Alicia Vikander at the Residence of the British Ambassador.
Afternoon tea with Crown Princess Victoria and her husband Prince Daniel is also on the agenda this week, as well as events to celebrate Swedish design and meetings with those working in the mental health sector.
