Thursday saw Princess Kate pay a visit to mental health charity Anna Freud in central London. The royal said she left the engagement feeling "inspired," after learning about the charity's mental health kit.
The Princess of Wales looked radiant as always, in a fluttering green button-up shirt dress by Suzannah London and two-tone Alessandra Rich heels – and there was a special reason behind her outfit choice.
Princess Kate has been wearing a rainbow of different colours lately, from her sunshine yellow blazer on Tuesday to a billowing blue dress for a surprise appearance at the Eurovision Song Contest last Saturday, but her reason for wearing a green dress was extra poignant.

By going green, you can support us in carrying out vital research and delivering programmes for different communities."

Other attendees also wore the bottle green shade, for a lovely united look.

She was meeting with Dame Kelly Holme, to talk again about mental health, and the marigold hue of her blazer matched the Dame Kelly Holmes Trust brand colours, with the royal showing support of the sportswoman.
Speaking on behalf of Slingo, body language expert Darren Stanton suggested that Princess Kate's bright outfit was also a nod to her ever-growing confidence as she steps into a more senior royal role.
"Kate looked happy and confident as she switched up her usual colour palette, as she tends to go for red, blue, white and purple," explained Darren. "Such a colour allows her to reveal her personality a bit more, with Kate clearly comfortable in her outfit choice as she looks relaxed.
