Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge looked as elegant as always when she stepped out in London to visit the Imperial War Museum to open two new galleries – one of which features her own photographic artwork.
As she opened the museum’s The Second World War Galleries and The Holocaust Galleries, the Duchess of Cambridge looked polished and prim in her Alexander McQueen military shirt, Catherine Walker dark navy-blue pants and blue winter coat that had a Remembrance Day poppy pinned to it.
Kate put on an elegant exterior for the important event.

Catherine visited the Second World War Galleries first before the Holocaust Galleries, which featured the photographs she took of survivors Stephen Frank BEM and Yvonne Bernstein.

The mother-of-three had taken the photos in 2020 on the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
According to Hello Magazine, Kate had said she was “honoured” to have her work featured in the exhibition.
Catherine has said the subjects of her portrait were “two of the most life-affirming people” she had met.

After completing her portraits last year, Catherine said that Yvonne and Steven were “two of the most life-affirming people” she had met.
Ahead of Remembrance Day, the duchess and her husband Prince William have changed their Instagram icon to a poppy, and have published posts dedicated to the important day.
While Catherine was paying her respects to the artistic community, William carried out investitures, in person, for the first time since the pandemic began.
In a Tweet on the royal account, he expressed his gratitude.
“Pleased to be back doing investitures in person, celebrating people across the UK who have gone above and beyond for their country and community. W,” he wrote.
The prince awarded the honour to English footballer Marcus Rashford, Manvir Hothi for her services to social care, Dame Sheila Hancock for her work in drama and charity, Rugby player Alun Jones, and finally, Rosemary Thompson for their services in the armed forces.
