Kate Middleton and Prince William did their second joint engagement of the year together today, one day after their first. And this time, the Duchess of Cambridge bonded with a puppy and even matched the adorable animal with her all-tan look. Kate visited Clitheroe Community Hospital in northeast England with her husband, where she met the dog and hospital staffers.
She got to cuddle with the new therapy puppy, Alfie, and hear about staff members’ experiences during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Kate dressed up in a camel coat, a tan Iris & Ink sweater and skirt set, and brown suede heeled boots. The sweater set sold out shortly after she stepped out in it.
Yesterday, Kate wore a blue monochrome look, pairing a navy sweater and belted pants with a light-blue coat for a visit to the Foundling Museum in London with William.
After today’s visit at Clitheroe Community Hospital, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge reflected on their time there in an Instagram post. They wrote:
“At Clitheroe Community Hospital in Lancashire today to meet with staff who work both in the hospital and across this rural community and hear about their experience of responding to COVID-19.
“Pressures across the local system have meant that teams here have felt the strain of the pandemic.
“Thankfully, @nhscharitiestogether has provided invaluable mental well-being support to staff throughout this period. As well as a staff well-being room, funding has provided two therapy dogs—6-year-old Jasper and Alfie, who is brand new to the team!
“To further help staff and volunteers across the NHS, visit @nhscharitiestogether.”
