Today, The Duchess of Cambridge became Royal Patron of Family Action.
Her Majesty The Queen has passed the patronage to Kate having held the role for over 65 years. Her Majesty took the patronage over from Queen Mary in 1953. Family Action was founded in 1869 to help families facing difficult circumstances by giving them practical help and support. To mark her new patronage, The Duchess visited Peterley Manor Farm where she joined families and children supported by the charity taking part in Christmas activities.

The Duchess debuted a jade green Alexander McQueen shirtdress. In this screengrab from a Daily Mail video shared by @21_royall on Twitter, we get a better glimpse at the length of dress. 
The custom creation features a piquet band collar, puffed shoulders, inset waistband, and a pleated skirt. The piece appears to take inspiration from this McQueen ready-to-wear shirtdress.
Kate added a touch of glam with the diamond orbital teardrop earrings are on loan from Her Majesty.
Unfortunately there are limited photos from this event and we have been unable to get a complete look at Kate's outfit.

The Duchess looked festive in a new red and white patterned dress from Alessandra Rich's AW19 collection (US$1,940). 
Crafted in Italy from lightweight silk, it's printed with small polka dots and petals. It has structured padded shoulders and the pleated skirt falls to a sweeping midi length. The off-the-rack dress features a keyhole neckline but Kate's version has a pussy-bow tie. The dress is currently reduced to $970 at Net-a-Porter, and down to $1,110 at Matches Fashion. It is full price at Moda Openadi.
It appears Kate wore the diamond and pearl earrings on permanent loan from the Queen.

Kate's version of the 'Yahvi' dress is made from 100% wool crepe and does not have the fluted sleeve. Instead it is fashioned with a three button cuff. Below we see it on Kate when she wore it for the first time in January for a visit to the Family Action Lewisham centre.
