The Duchess of Cambridge headed out on Wednesday evening to an event in order to meet and thank the partners of the Hold Still project. Photos from the event were shared on the Duke and Duchess' official social media accounts.

Kate launched the photographic project last year to capture what the United Kingdom looked like during the national lockdowns. An exhibition featuring some of the photos was launched later in the year, before being published in the book, Hold Still: A Portrait of Our Nation in 2020.

The royal looked beautiful in a stunning white belted chiffon dress as she chatted with people at the event. She paired her dress with an equally glamorous white tweed military blazer.

Kate spoke to attendees

The caption for the photos read: "Thank you to the brilliant partners who made Hold Still a reality!

"It took a long time to bring everyone behind this incredible project together in person but tonight we finally managed it. The idea for #HoldStill2020 came right at the start of the pandemic, and aimed to bring people and communities together, using the amazing power of photography.
