The Duchess of Cambridge stepped out for
her first public engagement of 2022 with her husband, Prince William, as they visited the Foundling Museum in London
on Wednesday.
It comes after the Cambridges spent Christmas with the Middletons in
Norfolk and celebrated Kate’s 40th birthday earlier this month.
The Cambridges firstly joined a roundtable discussion with experts
and stakeholders from across the sector to speak about the wider landscape of
care in the UK, the challenges that young people leaving care can face,
including employment, housing, mental health and addiction, and the work that
is being carried out to tackle these issues.
The Duke and Duchess then spent time with individuals who have
experience of the care system, including author and poet Lemn Sissay, the former
track and field athlete Kriss Akabusi, and writer Allan Jenkins.
Kate, who is committed to raising awareness of the importance of early
childhood experiences, became a patron of the Foundling Museum in 2019.
The Duchess wrapped up against the January chill in a familiar petrol
blue coat over a navy roll neck and trousers combo.
Kate sported a new pair of statement earrings from the high street for
her first royal outing of 2022. The already sold-out Mini hammered door knocker hoop earrings from Accessorize were
reduced to £2.10 from £7 in the sale.
