The Duchess of Cambridge has made her first public appearance following the news of her brother-in-law Prince Harry’s engagement to Meghan Markle.
When asked about the engagement, the Duchess, who was attending the Foundling Museum, said, ‘William and I are absolutely thrilled. It’s such exciting news.
‘It’s a really happy time for any couple and we wish them all the best and hope they enjoy this happy moment.’
The Duchess, who is currently expecting her third child, wore a chic midi dress from Kate Spade.
The dress was covered in an all-over diamond print with contrasting white stripes along the hem, cuffs and waist of the frock. Unfortunately, the dress is part of Kate Spade’s Resort 2018 line, meaning it isn’t available yet.
Speaking about Kate’s support towards his engagement, Prince Harry said, ‘William and Catherine were dying to meet her’.
Meghan added that the Duchess in particular had been ‘wonderful’ at welcoming her into the family.
The Duchess was visiting the Foundling Museum, the UK’s first children’s charity and first public art gallery. Today, it launches the Big Give Christmas Challenge 2017, which will see all donations go towards helping critically ill children in London hospitals.
