The royal teamed the blazer with a mocha-brown rollneck jumper and a pair of terracotta trousers from Jigsaw that were flared, made from suede, and had a high-waisted cut. This is quite an unexpected look for Kate, as after all, she is often seen wearing trousers in darker shades like black, dark brown, or grey.

She wore her famous brunette curls in her trademark, curled style and natural makeup highlighted her gorgeous features.
During the visit, Prince William's wife met with therapists from Family Action and heard how creative therapies are particularly helpful for children to process trauma. Kate also met families and children who have used the service and joined a creative therapy session to understand how the use of play and creativity can be a vehicle for healing.

We last saw the royal on 20 January, when she and William headed to the National Curling Academy in Stirling, Scotland, ahead of the Winter Olympic Games and Winter Paralympic Games in Milan-Cortina in February and March.

Kate opted for a tartan look for this visit, a fitting nod to the Scottish location. She debuted a bespoke Chris Kerr printed coat in a gorgeous deep blue hue. The structured, double-breasted outerwear was paired with a Zara roll-neck jumper, a plain black skirt by Le Kilt, and knee-high boots by Gianvito Rossi.
