"Ahoy there, Duchess!&amp;#xA0;\r\nFor her royal appearance for the launch of Britain&amp;apos;s bid for the America&amp;apos;s Cup 2017 at the National Maritime Museum in London on Tuesday, June 10, Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton looked the part in a nautical black and white Jaeger dress.\r\n\r\nThe never-worn short-sleeved frock featured contrasting black trim along the neckline, arms and waistband. The Duchess, 32, paired the high street dress with her blue suede shoes by Alexander McQueen and the &amp;quot;Muse&amp;quot; cluctch by Russell &amp;amp; Bromley.\r\n\r\n\r\nIn addition to meeting with the team, Middleton chatted with Olympic gold medalist Sir Ben Ainslie, 37. &amp;quot;She was asking lots of technical questions; she knew her stuff,&amp;quot; the sailor said. &amp;quot;We were all sharing sailing stories, and I think her sailing comes from her family.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nWhile Ainslie didn&amp;apos;t elaborate whether Middleton relayed the tale of how she beat husband Prince William in a sailing race during their April 2014 tour of Australia, he did express his gratitude for having the Duchess&amp;apos; support. &amp;quot;It means a lot to have her here,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;We&amp;apos;re a British team so to have Her Royal Highness behind the team really gives us a new sense of pride.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n\r\nEchoed Lord Michael Grade, also present at the launch. &amp;quot;She&amp;apos;s from a sailing family, and she loves sailing,&amp;quot; Grade said. &amp;quot;You can just tell she&amp;apos;s always been keen on it, and her face just lights up when she&amp;apos;s talking about it.&amp;quot;\r\nMiddleton also viewed the solid silver America&amp;apos;s Cup, designed and made by Garrad &amp;quot;Wow, I just met a princess!&amp;quot; Garrard CEO and American Eric Deardoff said."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
