Prince William and Duchess Kate have in-person royal engagement to Newham Ambulance Station in London

By Heather Cichowski

On March 18, Prince William and Duchess Kate made their second in-person engagement since returning to London. The couple stepped out to Newham Ambulance Station in East London to hear the front-line workers' experiences during the coronavirus pandemic.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge also wanted to find out about how the first responders' mental health and wellbeing were looked after during COVID-19 and how the station and its services were supporting them.

William and Kate also got to have a special FaceTime call with a paramedic's father, who has been separated from his family because of lockdown.

The Duchess of Cambridge looked so elegant in a longline camel coat from Massimo Dutti, which was recycled from her wardrobe. She first wore it last year.

The fashionable mom of three's monochromatic outfit was styled with a beige ribbed turtleneck underneath.

She accessorized with her go-to Amaia floral face mask in a coordinating neutral colourway, Métier London Roma bag, Kiki McDonough citrus drop earrings and bronze pumps.

William layered up in a blue sweater with coordinating shirt underneath, navy coat, brown trousers and coordinating shoes.
