Following the murder of Sarah Everard earlier this year, the Duchess paid a visit to the memorial that was made in her honour.
According to a royal source, the royal lay daffodils picked from her garden at Kensington Palace at the memorial site in order to pay her respects to the 33-year-old, whose body was found in an area of woodland in Ashford, Kent.
"She obviously wanted to pay her respects to Sarah and her family," a royal source told HELLO! "She remembers being a young woman and walking around London at night before she got married. It struck a chord and she wanted to go and lay some flowers in person."
Off-duty police officer Wayne Couzens was charged for Sarah's murder, and he later pleaded guilty. He is due to be sentenced next week.
