Princess Kate Visits Marina Mill in Kent

Catherine, 43, was visiting Marina Mill in Cuxton, Kent, a British family business that specialises in hand-designing and screen-printing furnishing fabrics.

They supply dozens of royal homes - from Buckingham Palace to Clarence House to Highgrove, and even the Prince and Princess of Wales themselves - and are world- renowned for the quality of their fabrics, as well as the fact that they still do everything by hand.

‘It’s very trusting of you,’ laughed the princess, who asked personally to visit because of her passion to highlight the importance of the British textile industry, as she was shown a silk screen printing press and a tub of bright yellow paint. Read more @ https://sovrn.co/r23l6al

Prince William and Princess Kate Visit the local Women’s Institute (WI) branch, on the Anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's Death, September 8, 2022.

 

The couple visited the local Women’s Institute (WI) branch, to which King Charles's mother had a close connection, having been a member for 80 years and having served as president of the Sandringham branch.

The organisation's aim is to create a safe space for women to build connections, learn new skills and make a positive impact on their local community.

Catherine wore a black, grey and white tartan dress from Alessandra Rich - teamed with tonal heels - and warmly greeted members as her husband, dressed in a smart suit and tie, joked with the ladies about the amount of cake waiting for them. 

The couple also chatted with support staff and trustees from across the Berkshire Federation of Women’s Institutes (BFWI) to hear about their work and the different opportunities it gives women.

Some of the women they were introduced to had met or interacted with the late Queen herself. William was, it is understood, particularly keen to hear their stories and the impact she had on the WI.

Queen Elizabeth, who died at Balmoral Castle on September 8, 2022, was a member of the WI for 80 years, joining in 1943 and serving as president of the Sandringham branch from 2003 until her death. She often attended a meeting in early January while staying in Norfolk for Christmas. Read more @ https://sovrn.co/120sgew
