The on-trend huggies were previously available on ASOS for the same price, but thanks to the 'Kate Middleton effect' quickly sold out. Meanwhile, the Duchess' gorgeous blazer for the visit was a £1,795 purchase from luxury designer, Chloé. She finished her look with her long brunette tresses in loose curls, adding her favourite & Other Stories denim jeans and white Veja trainers.

The museum's Executive Director Clare Matterson showed Kate some specimens and talked her through the Urban Nature Project.

Ms Matterson said of the Duchess after her visit: "The fantastic thing is that she is so interested in nature and learning and children and that's what this project is all about. She's so engaged, there was lots of nice synergy."

The Duchess, who isn't afraid to get stuck into the crafts and nature with her own children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, helped inspire the revamp of the adventure playground at the Royal Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, and visitors have been making use of the brand new attraction that is now open.
