Princess Kate wears separates to expand 'Shaping Us' initiative at the National Portrait Gallery4/2/2025
On Tuesday, the Princess of Wales visited the National Portrait Gallery in London to launch of a new initiative linked to her "Shaping Us" campaign, which highlights the importance of early childhood development.
KATE'S OUTFITBLAZER: NEW! Petar Petrov Wool-Blend Blazer in Brown (US$1,660). PANTS: NEW! Max Mara 'Rea' Pinstriped Trousers in Gray (US$895). EARRINGS: Sézane 'Bruna' Hoop Earrings in Gold (repeat) BRACELET: Halcyon Days Salamander Torque Bracelet in Forget-Me-Not (repeat).
The Princess joined a group of eager pupils from All Souls CE Primary School for a day of art, storytelling, and emotional exploration. Making the journey even more special, Catherine surprised the children by riding with them on the minibus, turning the trip into an adventure with games of "I Spy."
The visit centered on the "Bobeam Tree Trail," an interactive storytelling experience helping young children explore emotions through art. The Princess joined them on the trail, using portraits to spark discussions about feelings. The highlight was the Bobeam Tree exhibit, where audio recordings and props brought the portraits to life, with Catherine encouraging the children to engage and share their interpretations.
The creative journey didn't stop there. The children were then invited to create their own self-portraits, a powerful way to link their emotions to their artistic expressions. This activity offered a tangible way for them to recognize, process, and express their feelings, fostering valuable social and emotional skills.
The Princess of Wales's passion for early childhood development was evident as she highlighted the importance of making emotional learning engaging both in schools and the wider community. This visit further reinforced her commitment to the "Shaping Us" initiative, promoting children's well-being in their early years.
To mark World Cancer Day 2025, the Princess of Wales shared an inspiring new photograph taken by her youngest son, Prince Louis, in Windsor earlier this year. The image depicts Kate outdoors in a wooded area, casually dressed and standing on a tree trunk with outstretched arms and a radiant smile.
Alongside the photo, she shared a personal message: "Don't forget to nurture all that which lies beyond the disease," emphasizing the importance of well-being and finding joy beyond a cancer diagnosis.
This World Cancer Day holds special meaning for Kate, who recently announced her remission after chemotherapy in 2024. Through her story and imagery, she aims to inspire hope and support for others, emphasizing the importance of mental, emotional, and physical well-being—reinforced by her patronage of the Royal Marsden Hospital.
In the photo, the Princess is seen wearing her green Barbour by ALEXACHUNG Chung 'Elfie' Jacket.
The boots appear to be her trusty Penelope Chilvers Conker Long Tassel Boots.
The cap looks like her Really Wild 'Lindsey' Baker Boys Hat, first seen during a Scout outing in 2013.
I'll update the post if any additional outfit details are identified. |
