This morning, the Duchess of Cambridge almost had a Marilyn Monroe-esque moment. But she kept her composure as winds gusted upon her arrival at Evelina, a children's hospital based in London.

Kate sported a bespoke Dolce & Gabbana skirt suit to meet with children receiving care at the facility, a look which she paired with black tights and her Gianvito pumps. Her hair was pulled back in a half-up, half-down style to show off a pair of diamond Mappin & Webb Empress Earrings.

While at Evelina, Kate spent time with the young patients and participated in a creative arts workshop run by the National Portrait Gallery's Hospital Program.

Kate previously wore the tweed suit back in February 2019, when she went to the Royal Foundation's Mental Health in Education conference and styled it almost the exact same way.

The Duchess of Cambridge has been keeping a busy schedule this month. After promoting her new survey about early childhood development in Cardiff and Birmingham last week, Kate attended the UK Holocaust Memorial Day Commemorative Ceremony with Prince William yesterday, a service which marked the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkeanu.

Kensington Palace also recently released two portraits Kate took of Holocaust survivors, which will be featured in an upcoming exhibition.

"Whilst I have been lucky enough to meet two of the now very few survivors, I recognize not everyone in the future will be able to hear these stories firsthand," she said in a statement. "It is vital that their memories are preserved and passed on to future generations, so that what they went through will never be forgotten."

As part of the commemorations for the 75th anniversary of the end of the Holocaust, The Duchess of Cambridge has taken photographs of two Holocaust survivors with their grandchildren. The first photograph features Steven Frank with his granddaughters, Maggie and Trixie. Alongside his mother and brothers, Steven was sent to Westerbork transit camp then to Theresienstadt. Steven and his brothers were 3 of only 93 children who survived the camp - 15,000 children were sent there. The Duchess also photographed Yvonne Bernstein with her granddaughter Chloe. Yvonne was a hidden child in France, travelling in the care of her aunt and uncle and frequently changing homes and names. The Duchess said: “I wanted to make the portraits deeply personal to Yvonne and Steven – a celebration of family and the life that they have built since they both arrived in Britain in the 1940s. The families brought items of personal significance with them which are included in the photographs. It was a true honour to have been asked to participate in this project and I hope in some way Yvonne and Steven’s memories will be kept alive as they pass the baton to the next generation.” The portraits will form part of a new exhibition opening later this year by @holocaustmemorialdaytrust, Jewish News and @royalphotographicsociety , which will feature 75 images of survivors and their family members. The exhibition will honour the victims of the Holocaust and celebrate the full lives that survivors have built in the UK, whilst inspiring people to consider their own responsibility to remember and share the stories of those who endured Nazi persecution.
