Rainbow Place helps not only ill children but those who are coming to terms with loss or coping with parents who are terminally ill.

Peeking from beneath the Duchess' dress was a 'Budding Heart' silk tea dress by Suzannah (£475).

Additional details from the Suzannah website:
 
'Inspired by a 30s-find in the Porte de Clignancourt vintage market in Paris.
The beautiful budding heart print has a beautiful retro vibe. Our expert printers in Como, Italy, translated this wonderful print onto beautiful Italian silk crepe de chine exclusively for Suzannah.
The smocking detailing at the shoulder and under the bust add a wonderful vintage charm, with the bias line of the skirt skimming to below the knee. Skirt part is lined in 100% silk habotai.
The silhouette lifts the bust and flatters the body.
Tailor Made in England
100% Silk
Dry Clean Only'
