Kate's beautiful bag is a luxurious piece from British designer Grace Han, which has a very sweet story behind it.

The couple met with some of the 100 finalists of Kate's Hold Still project which documented life in the UK during lockdown, including Hackey Food Hub volunteer Sami Massalami Mohammed Elmassalami Ayed, who featured in the image 'Sami', taken by Grey Hutton – and oncology pharmacist Joyce Duah, who took the photograph 'All in this Together'.

Later that day, the Duchess was pictured filming for the Pride of Britain Awards with Good Morning Britain's Kate Garraway, wearing an ultra-chic trouser suit from Smythe.
