On the 6th March 2018, the Duchess of Cambridge (Kate Middleton) visited Pegasus Primary School in Oxford. She visited the school to learn more about the work of Family Links, a national charity dedicated to empowering children, parents, families, schools and workplaces to be emotionally healthy.
The charity delivers innovative, high-quality training to health and social care services, third sector organisations, schools and universities. Their aim is to give every child the best chance in life.
Her Royal Highness will see how we work closely with schools nationwide to support both children and parents with their emotional health and well-being, with an emphasis on early intervention. — FamilyLinks.org.uk
During her visit today, Kate met with parents to learn more about how their families have overcome challenges with the support of Family Links.

She also joined a Year Two class during ‘Circle Time’, an activity session which encourages pupils to share their thoughts on a range of topics, including how to support a classmate if they are being bullied, or how to cope with a stressful situation.

Finally, the Duchess attended a roundtable discussion with Family Links on the importance of supporting families during a child’s early years.
Kate’s outfit:
Pregnant Kate chose a creamy-white coat by Jojo Maman Bébé for the school visit.
You may remember the Duchess first wore the coat in 2015, while pregnant with Princess Charlotte. She was visiting the set of Downton Abbey.
It’s the maternity brand’s Princess Line Maternity Coat. It originally retailed for £69 ($103). The wool-mix coat was described by JoJo Maman Bébé as a “great investment piece” that allows the wearer to “elegantly wrap up in cold weather.”
The coat has been sold out for a while (though there are a few available on eBay at the time of writing).
If you’re expecting and in the market for a new coat, you might be interested to read that JoJo Maman Bébé has two fantastic options in stock. They sell a grey tweed princess line maternity coat and a cream maternity coat with frill sleeves:
Kate’s handbag is from Emmy London. It’s the Natasha style (pictured below in another colour).
Kate’s wearing a pair of brown suede heels. Current thinking is that they’re the pinpoint style from Russell & Bromley. Kate owns this particular style in red too.
Kate’s earrings ought to feel familiar. She’s worn them regularly for years. They’re the baroque pearl drops from Annoushka.
The creamy white freshwater pearl earrings are suspended from 18-carat gold rings. Kate wears them suspended from Kiki McDonough hooks.
The earrings form part of Annoushka’s permanent collection and can be purchased for £320 (approximately $230).
That is such a nice coat for that price!! Kate looks great in white/cream too, I have to say.
Hope that company sticks around for a long time! Will have to get that coat for myself someday. 🙂
