Duchess Catherine’s first engagements of the year have been confirmed by the Palace.
After a relaxing Christmas break spent with Prince William and Prince George at their country estate Anmer Hall in the grounds of Sandringham – the Queen’s Christmas country retreat, Duchess Catherine will now jump back into her public duties with a busy schedule of public engagements planned for the new year.
Duchess Catherine’s first engagement will be on January 15th at UK charity “The Art Room” as confirmed by Clarence House in a series of tweets. The Art Room is a London-based charity for children who are experiencing emotional and behavioural difficulties.
Based at Barlby Primary school, the Duchess is patron of the Art Room which, Clarence House tweeted: “offers art as therapy to young people who are facing challenges in their lives”.
The very next day Catherine will then attend another event hosted by the Fostering Network, the UK’s leading fostering charity, to “celebrate the dedicated work of foster carers.
These two charities are one of a portfolio of charities for which the Duchess holds patronages including East Anglia Children’s hospice, which the Duchess visited just over a month ago, the National Portrait Gallery, which hosted the Duchess first public outing of the year in 2014 and
These first scheduled events follow Catherine’s 33rd birthday, which is this Friday, which makes it a busy couple of weeks for the Duchess who is clearly not letting the fact that she is nearly six months pregnant slow her down!
