The Duchess of Cambridge revealed how she has been left in tears after hearing the stories of families coping amid the coronavirus pandemic during a visit to a baby bank in Sheffield on Tuesday.
Kate - who sported a £15 reusable cotton floral face mask from London-based label Amaia - spoke of how she went home and wept after visiting a baby bank helping vulnerable families at the start of lockdown.
The mother-of-three, 38, who cut a stylish figure in an elegant white £1850 dress by Suzannah, was talking on a visit to a Baby Basics UK, to launch a new initiative she has spearheaded, getting 19 major UK retailers and brands to donate more than 10,000 new items to more than 40 baby banks across the UK.
Baby Banks
are a crucial nationwide service, run by volunteers, helping to support
