Even if they’re miles apart, Kate’s cuties are close to her heart
She had to leave the children at home while she carried out her royal duties yesterday.
But that didn’t mean the Duchess of Cambridge couldn’t keep them close to her heart the whole time.
Kate, 38, wore a gold necklace bearing the initials G, C and L – for Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis – on a visit to Derby University.
The £98.90 personalised three-layered disc necklace is made by Irish jewellery brand All The Falling Stars.
George, seven, Charlotte, five, and Louis, two, had been shown enjoying the natural world in previously unseen family photographs released for Monday night’s ITV documentary, Prince William: A Planet For Us All. William allowed the three shots to be featured in the film, in which he talked about how his passion to save the environment was inspired by his children.
Kate visited the Derby campus ahead of World Mental health Day on Saturday to talk to first-year students and hear how the coronavirus pandemic has affected the start of their university life.
She wore a £249 beige check Massimo Dutti coat, £119 cashmere crew neck sweater, dark blue jeans and £520 Gianvito Rossi suede pumps – and appeared to have ditched her trademark curls in favour of a sleeker style. Mayfair hairstylist Jo hansford described the look as ‘so modern and up to date’, adding: ‘It still a versatile style... and still very feminine.’
The recent surge in coronavirus cases has led to thousands of students having to self-isolate in their halls, which the national Union of Students has warned could exacerbate mental health issues.
■ William may not attend the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing because of allegations of widespread rights abuses by the Chinese authorities, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab told MPs yesterday. he told the foreign affairs select committee that the Government will look ‘very closely and carefully’ at whether the prince should go. Mr Raab has accused Chinese officials of committing ‘gross, egregious’ abuses against thousands of Uighur Muslims in the northwestern Xinjiang province.
