On October 13th 2011, Catherine and William attended a low key gala event in benefit of a Child Bereavement Charity, organised by the ‘100 Women in Hedge Funds‘ initiative.
100WHF raised over £675,000 at its London Gala last night at St. James’s Palace in the presence of TRH The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge for the Child Bereavement Charity. Galia Velimukhametova of GLG Partners presented with Industry Leadership Award.
Prince William has been Patron of 100 Women in Hedge Funds since October 2009.

Thanks for letting me know, I’m RUBBISH at spelling it. Kept spelling it wrong earlier too!
; ) No problem!! We are glad to help you !!! 🙂 You know that the cluth is already sol out!! so incrdeible!! so Kate fashion effect :)))
Wow that was quick. I found the silver one on House of Fraser if anyone wants that instead (just as pretty!). I put a link to it above.
I am a real fan of almost everything Kate wears, but it is just me or is this dress too long on her?
I agree too!
I don’t care for this dress. It reminds me of a dressing gown!
Kate’s face and hair are stunning but the dress is not. This is the wrong cut for her.
I am intrigued by Catherine’s accessory choices. I notice that she usually matches her purse and her shoes (same color). Here in the US that has of late been considered a faux-pas because the powers that be in fashion claim it is too matchy-matchy. I personally like a purse and shoes that match. I hope Catherine (re)starts the trend!
I definitely think this dress is a little too long, however I think it compliments her style with the wrap around and the neckline. I do love the red color on her!
