The Duchess of Cambridge marked the launch of her Hold Still photography book with some surprise engagements and a sweet hidden book hunt on Friday, and it looks like she was anxious to see if it had been a success!
Kate was pictured checking her phone as she left The Royal London Hospital on Friday, and could even be seen holding her face in her hands as her assistant also looked on her phone.

The Duchess is rarely seen with her phone, so we wouldn't be surprised if she was keen to check the reaction to the book's launch, and see how many had been interacting with the search around the UK. Of course, she may also have been checking in on her children or responding to emails.

Kate has teamed up with The Book Fairies, a literary movement which urges readers to share books which they have read and enjoyed by leaving them in public spaces for others to find. In total, 150 copies of the book have been hidden in secret locations across the UK by the Hold Still judging panel.
