Mandrake hears that Kate hopes to become the patron of a charity working with young people affected by the riots around the country.

"Catherine is keen to do what she can to keep young people on the right track," says a friend of the Duchess. "One of the things that she respects most about William's family is their efforts to help people less fortunate than themselves."

A spokesman for St James's Palace, where Kate's office is based, confirms that she is currently putting much thought into which charities she should lend her patronage.

Queen of Jewelry

Brooches, usually worn on the left shoulder, were a favourite for the royal and the Queen was believed to have over 100 in her collection. A selection that would go with an outfit were presented to her - usually three at a time - by her senior dresser and confidante Angela Kelly on special trays that once belonged to Queen Mary. The royal had a wide variety of different brooches which she often wore with her usual pearl earrings and necklace, including a spray of flowers brooch by the people and government of Australia during her Coronation tour of 1954./
