She enjoyed an extended break over the festive season but the Duchess of Cambridge has returned to work with her first engagement on the New Year today.
Country girl Kate, who turned 37 last week, is visiting the King Henry’s Walk Garden in Islington to see how the project brings people together through gardening and food growing.
The Duchess of Cambridge was element today as she visited the community garden in North London where she was introduced to an open air pizza kitchen.
'Pizza outside sounds like the coolest thing ever' said Kate as she spoke to local school children as she helped to make bird feeders with them.
Kate cut a casual figure in a khaki tweed jacket by Irish brand Dubarry costing £399. The jacket has proven to be a hit with Kate, having been spotted wearing it while last-minute Christmas shopping in the Range in Norfolk on December 24.
She opted for her trademark skinny jeans for today's engagement, her go-to look when it comes to more casual occasions such as this.
In light of the chilly temperatures, Kate added an extra layer in the form of a rust coloured roll-neck jumper that could be seen peeking out from her jacket and ditched her signature stilettos in favour of a practical walking boot, £252 (reduced from £360) by See by Chloe to muck in with local school children.
She added just a touch of bling in the form of a small pair of gold leaf-motif earrings which were framed by her bouncy brunette locks, worn in loose waves today.
Kate's ensemble is relatively casual compared to that of her sister-in-law Meghan who yesterday attended several community events in Birkenhead alongside Prince Harry. Read more from The Daily Mail.
