Kate Visits Clouds House (Under the Radar)

Caption: During the day (last week) Kate met people being treated for various forms of addiction

The Duchess of Cambridge spent several hours speaking with drug addicts and alcoholics last week, it has been revealed.

A Royal source said that the Duchess had spent time at Clouds House, a treatment clinic situated next to Action on Addiction’s head office in East Knoyle, near Salisbury.

During the day she met people being treated for various forms of addiction from drug abuse to shopping and spoke with charity staff.

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./
