The Duchess of Cambridge offered a moment of optimism in a rose-tinted £158 trouser suit This has been a week like no other in the UK as the spread of Covid-19 prompted the change of life as we know it.
As she left for Windsor a week early on Thursday, the Queen told the nation that ‘my family and I stand ready to play our part’.
On Friday, the first step of that part-playing came in the form of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s visit to the London Ambulance Centre in Croydon, where they thanked 111 staff for their work during the crisis.
A lot of playing that part comes from turning up, asking the right questions and paying tribute to people on the frontline of the pandemic.
