On her first official duties in 2022, Kate Middleton remains focused on her passion for children.
On the morning of January 19, local time, Catherine, who had not appeared for a long time, and her husband, Prince William, visited the nearly 300-year-old Foundling Hospital in London, which is said to be the first children's charity in the United Kingdom.
It is reported that the foundry museum was built in 1739 as a child care home for children who could not receive the care of their mothers (at risk of abandonment). Because of her long-standing commitment to raising awareness of the importance of early childhood experiences, Kate became the charity's royal patron in 2019.
Upon arriving at the Nursery, the Dukes of Cambridge and the Duchess of Cambridge first attended a roundtable to discuss with experts and stakeholders from across the industry about the broad prospects for the future of the UK healthcare industry and the challenges it may face in the future.
In its first public appearance in 2022, Kate continues to promote the eco-friendly + frugal style. The mother of three wore a blue-blue double-breasted stand-up collar jacket with a navy blue turtleneck legging and tonal high-waisted wide-leg pants and high heels, looking elegant, stylish, smart and radiant.
In 2020, Kate wore this coat while advancing the "5 Big Questions" project, an early childhood development survey. At that time, the Duchess of Cambridge was still dressed "conservatively".
At the time, Kate was wearing a wood-collared leggings, small pants, and booties. Decent, in line with Kate's consistent style in the past, no points lost, not brilliant.
After two years, to tell the truth, Kate's fashion taste has really improved a lot. I'm older, but I look even better than I did two years ago. This also indirectly shows that the princess's little life is indeed very smooth.
Yesterday, Kate blew her hair into the iconic fluffy wavy style. A hair that naturally hangs over her shoulders and wears delicate makeup.
The Duchess of Cambridge also cleverly embellished the outfit with a pair of large oval earrings worth only £2.10, and the cute earrings added a touch of liveliness and playfulness to Kate.
After nearly two months of not seeing, Kate is full of spirits and in superb condition; especially worth mentioning that the Duchess of Cambridge has visibly fattened her jaws, which shows that this holiday has been quite enjoyable.
Although she was unable to spend Christmas with the Queen as scheduled, Kate, the daughter-in-law who married into the royal family, celebrated Christmas with her family this year. After the New Year, the Duchess of Cambridge ushered in another important age line in her life - "40 years old is not confused".
In fact, as the Duchess became more and more skilled in handling official duties, coupled with the current situation of "many people working a lot" faced by the royal family, Kate and William often acted separately and each took care of each other for the past two years.
However, for his wife's New Year's debut, the Duke of Cambridge still attaches great importance to it. Prince William yesterday wore a navy blue jacket with a tonal shirt and sweater underneath and blue slacks underneath, as elegant and gentlemanly as ever.
After meeting with representatives from the industry and sharing their nursing experience with them, the sweet little interaction between the husband and wife at the end of the visit showed a strong warmth and tacit understanding.
Compared with his wife's "belated arrival", Prince William has long been out for business.
On 12 January, the Duke of Cambridge, dressed in military uniform, energetically represented the Queen at the Ceremony of Honour at Windsor Castle, awarding the British Empire Medal to those who had "made important achievements and outstanding contributions to British sport".
As we all know, the movement of the British royal family during this period is not small. Prince Andrew's prosecution for alleged sexual assault led to his being stripped of his honorary rank and all royal patronships by the Queen. It is reported that after attending the ceremony, the 95-year-old Queen of England and Prince William, who was at Windsor Castle at the time, held a secret meeting for about 1 hour.
After full consultation with Prince William and Prince Charles, the old lady quickly, fiercely, and accurately ended Andrew's "royal career" and became a "passerby".
Prince William's pivotal role in the Andrew's title-taking incident also illustrates the importance of the heir to the throne in the British crown today. Subsequently, for Prince Harry's "unreasonable trouble" again, the royal family collectively took a disregard.
Anyway, no matter what's going on outside, Kate's biggest task during the holidays is to take the baby at home, to accompany the three cute treasures (Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis) to read, have fun and prepare them for all kinds of things before the start of school... and take care of William's "backyard".
Now, the school has started. After a short break, Kate is also going to return to her former busyness.
2022 will usher in the 70th anniversary of the Queen's accession to the throne, as the royal family's façade and backbone, Kate will undoubtedly become busier. Expect her and William to bring more surprises.
