The Duchess Of Cambridge Goes To Bhutan, Finds Her True Calling In Archery

Just call her Duchess Kate(niss).

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge has fiercely and impressively committed herself to raising awareness and campaigning for children's mental health. Oh, and also to being a duchess.

But after seeing these photos of the royal formerly known as Kate Middleton on day five of her royal tour to India and Bhutan, we're kind of convinced she should give that all up and become a professional archer.

Both Prince William and Kate tried their hand at Bhutan's national sport on Thursday. And while video from the event suggests she's not going pro anytime soon, to these amateur eyes, Kate's form was unparalleled.

We haven't seen anyone look that natural with a bow and arrow since Katniss Everdeen.

Wearing a Paul and Joe cape paired with a gorgeous purple kira -- a traditional Bhutanese skirt -- the duchess appeared to have a really good time.

She did have a chance to get back to one of her old loves -- outfit repeating -- for the couple's arrival in Bhutan earlier that day. According to reporters, Will and Kate were invited into the cockpit to view the infamously tricky landing firsthand.

Kate chose a repeat Emilia Wickstead dress for the arrival, a designer favorite (and a designer she's already worn earlier in the trip).

Gorgeous, as usual.
