Here are some brand new photos of the Duchess of Cambridge actually making a charity visit. It’s sort of amazing how much she’s been working the past three weeks or so. We get next to nothing for months – like, two “fun” outings in three months’ time – and then BAM, she actually starts scheduling stuff back-to-back. For Kate (and William), “back-to-back” engagements mean “one appearance for an hour” once a day. But Kate has been doing so many events, it’s like someone (Poor Jason) put the fear of God into her. Did someone put their foot down about the much-anticipated Mustique vacation next month?

Anyway, Kate traveled to a Chance UK program in London to “meet children and mentors” from the program that aims to improve the lives of kids in danger of falling through the cracks, or kids at an increased risk for developing criminal behavior. Kate and William recently did a joint appearance at another program similar to Chance UK.

Kate finally wore a repeat – this dress is by Orla Kiely and we saw it on her for the first time in 2012, during an appearance with Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall. I kind of thought it was too fussy back then, but after three years, I like it a little bit more. Maybe that’s because she wore it today with a jaunty ponytail and it reads as “cute.” She looks like a cute school teacher here, which is appropriate for the outing.

Kate’s also due to appear at the 100 Women In Hedge Funds dinner tonight. Back to back events for the second day in a row! SHOCKING! Seriously, I’m very surprised. Let’s give Kate a slow clap (before she heads off for a three-week vacation in Mustique!).
