Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, 38, has had a busy week and has been out and about on a daily basis.  On Tuesday she paid a visit to the Evelina London Children’s Hospital. The Duchess was greeted at the hospital entrance by an adorable little girl clutching a bouquet of flowers and went on to attend a special creative workshop for young patients and their families.

The Duchess who is passionate about early years education is patron of both Evelina London Children’s Hospital and the National Portrait Gallery, who collaborated to put on the special workshop.

Kate never fails to look the part and looked elegant as ever in a striking black boucle skirt suit by Dolce and Gabanna.

She paired the chic outfit with a pair of black suede block heels and delicate Mappin & Webb earrings.

As well as the absence of a signature clutch bag, Kate was also not wearing one of her most treasured accessories – her engagement ring.

The Duchess is a keen amateur photographer and took a series of striking portraits of Holocaust survivors.

Dutch national Steven Frank, 84, and German-born Yvonne Bernstein, 82, both survived the Holocaust and were photographed by the Duchess in Kensington Palace.

The striking portraits were inspired by Dutch painter Vermeer and will feature in an exhibition to commemorate 75 years since the horrific event.

Kate described Yvonne and Steven as “two of the most life-affirming people that I have had the privilege to meet”.
