DOUBLE DUTY: The Duchess of Cambridge carried out a series of royal engagements in London on Nov. 22.
The young royal visited the Natural History Museum in Kensington earlier this afternoon then attended the Place2Be awards ceremony in Mansion House later that evening.
A patron of the institution, she attended a children’s tea party to bid farewell to Dippy the Diplodocus, a dinosaur that has been mounted in the museum’s Hintze Hall since 1905. The pre-historic figure is part of a show that will go on a nationwide tour for two years. She met with children from Oakington Manor school and took part in arts and crafts with the youngsters and decorated dinosaur eggs. The duchess also joined in on a mini fossil dig as a part of the museum’s Dino Scene Investigation school.
Kate Middleton wore a black long sleeve floral midi dress with a textured velvet print from LK Bennett.
