Kate in Zara and Boden for Hold Still video recordings

The Duchess of Cambridge released a video message to thank everyone who participated in the 'Hold Still' photography project.

Thank you for being part of #HoldStill2020!

The portraits that illustrate your stories and experiences of lockdown have shown just how much communities have come together during this difficult year. pic.twitter.com/FXlaSl42zh

In the recording Kate sported her red Zara gathered shoulder blazer which some may recall she first wore in 2012 for a London Olympic event.

It is the Paleontology Nugget Necklace (£360) by British jeweler, Alex Monroe.  The gold plated piece is hand made in England and detailed with fossilised nuggets etched with botanicals, animals and Alex’s iconic bumblebee. Thanks to @RoyalWikipedia for the ID.

Earlier this week, The Duchess spoke to Johannah Churchill, one of the finalists for 'Hold Still', and whose portrait ‘Melanie, March 2020’ was recreated as a mural in Manchester as part of the community exhibition.
