Taking a break from her usual coat dresses and mid-length dresses, Kate wore a purple blouse by Gucci featuring a bow neck and black pants from Jigsaw as she visited the Henry Fawcett Children's Centre to see what support is offered to help parents, caregivers and children tackle difficulties they come up against
She accessorized with a lilac Midi Mayfair bag by Aspinal of London and her Hope Egg earrings – which have reemerged from her jewelry box for the first time in public since March 2012!

One, called the "Circle of Security," is offered to all parents with infants to 4-year-old children
It aids parents and caregivers with a better understanding of their child's emotions

Another called "Together Time" supports attachment and bonding between parents and infants, providing time and space for moms and dads to enjoy being with their babies or toddlers
It includes singing, use of child-led play and interaction and is designed to support parents' ability to understand their child's cues, feel more confident in their parenting and strengthen their relationship with their child
