Duchess Kate Interviews Veteran at Royal Hospital in Connection with Rememberence Events

Duchess Kate Interviews Veteran

 A confident Duchess of Cambridge took on the role of interviewer in a heartwarming new video commemorating the centenary of the Royal British Legion. 

Kate, 39, was joined by Second World War veteran Colonel David Blum OBE, 98, and ten-year old Cub Scout Emily Edge, at the Royal Hospital Chelsea earlier this month to discuss the continued importance of Remembrance events, and their respective experiences in the Scouts. 

The Duchess, elegant in a £749 Holland Cooper coat, chaired the wide-ranging conversation, which took in Colonel Blum's memories of the war and saw the trio make poppies under Emily's instruction. At one point Kate also joked about her husband Prince William's time at Sandringham.  Read more from The Daily Mail.
