The Duchess of Cambridge didn't have to travel far today for her engagement. She was in her home county of Norfolk to open a new charity shop for East Anglia Children's Hospices, of which she is patron.

The new EACH store in the market town of Holt is one of 21 for the charity. The goodwill outlets offer second-hand clothing, books, and bric-a-brac, with all profits directed back into the charity.

Kate marked the official opening by cutting a ribbon with the help of two families who receive care and support from the charity.

Kate consciously choose to recycle an outfit for the thrift shop visit. She wore her M Missoni blue tweed coat.

She  debuted the coat during a 2012 visit to Fortnum & Mason. She wore it again that year for a trip to Nottingham with William and the Queen. We saw her back in it for thewedding of Lucy Meade and Charlie Budgett in 2014.

The frock is affectionately known as the "honeymoon dress". The Duchess of Cambridge first wore it on the day after the royal wedding, when she and William departed Buckingham Palace for a weekend honeymoon retreat.  She has also worn it several times since.
