A never-seen-before picture of The Cambridge's was posted anonymously on social media. It was taken by photographer Jason Bell in March of this year, and commissioned as a ‘thank you’ for the people involved in their 2014 tour of Australia and New Zealand.

Thanks to a follower on WKW, the elusive black beaded clutch that the Duchess carried to the Royal Variety Performance has been ID'ed! It is by Magid and seems to be a vintage piece.

You may recall from my previous post that Kate collaborated with Emma Bridgewater to design a range of pottery to raise money for East Anglia's Children's Hospices' (EACH) nook appeal.

For every mug sold, Emma Bridgewater will make a £5 donation towards to building and equipping a new hospice.

On Thursday, shoppers in the town of Holt spotted Kate leaving the Antiques Emporium. She was accompanied by a body guard and looked like she had a successful shopping as she carried a number of shopping bags.

The Duchess who is a royal patron of the charity, championed its ambitious £10million fundraising appeal to build and equip a new hospice, The Nook, on a five acre plot in Framingham Earl, in Norfolk. It will replace the current one in Quidenham.

Upon her arrival at the Norfolk Showground, Kate was greeted by children from nearby Queen's Hill Primary School and then went on to meet staff, volunteers and families who are being supported by the charity.
