See best photos from Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge visits to Northern Ireland and Scotland on Wednesday, in support of her early childhood survey.
The Royal made a stop first at The Ark Open Farm in Newtownards, Northern Ireland to speak to local parents and grandparents about their experiences of raising young children and their thoughts on the early years before heading out to Aberdeen in Scotland to visit Social Bite, where she spoke to staff and customers at the cafe, which provides jobs to people who have been homeless, about the long-lasting impact of childhood experiences.
Kate, wore a Barbour jacket with black skinny jeans and Penelope Chilvers boots at the farm but the Duchess made a quick change for an apron to help cook for the homeless in Social Bite cafe in Aberdeen. Social Bite runs social enterprise cafés across Scotland and distributes food and hot drinks to people experiencing homelessness. The organisation also employs staff who have experienced homelessness themselves.
