On Sunday, the wife of Prince William looked immaculate to share a powerful message on behalf of The Forward Trust, a British charity that helps people with drug and alcohol dependence. Princess Kate chose to recycle one of her favourite blouses for the occasion, her 'Scallop-Edged Polka Dot' silk shirt from Tory Birch.

In the video, Princess Kate's emotional plea addressed the camera directly: "Attitudes to addiction are changing. But we are not there yet, and we need to be," she said.

"Still the shame of addiction is stopping people and families from asking for help and people are still tragically losing their lives.

"We as a society need to recognise that the only way to help those suffering is to try and understand what has led them to addiction, to empathise with them, and to be compassionate to their struggles."
