Yesterday, on her second wedding anniversary, Kate visited Naomi House, a hospice for children and young adults located in Hampshire. Her visit was timed to coincide with Children’s Hospice Week. We also learned that Kate privately visited the hospice back in 2008.
Catherine meets gathered supporters in the crowd outside Naomi House.
During her visit to Naomi House, Kate met with 850 volunteers and enjoyed a tea party with some of the families at the hospice. She also listened to a song called “Free”, composed and performed by Ollie Wade, whose brother spent time at Naomi House before he died, aged just 19 years old. Ollie first performed the song at his brother’s funeral in tribute. The song is available to download from iTunes and costs just 79p, with all profits going to the hospice.
You can read some of the lovely stories on The Mirror’s live blog, including Kate being invited into the hydrotherapy pool by the children, how she was presented with a handmade “cotton” themed anniversary gift and that she’s been invited to learn how to make cakes by a 84-year-old volunteer at the hospice.
Kate meets children, staff and volunteers from the hospice wearing a peachy coral pink outfit.
Kate’s Outfit:
Kate wore peachy coral tones for the visit, which suited her complexion and made her look even more radiant!

Kate’s coat was by a designer I’ve not heard of before, Tara Jarmon. It cost £380 and was available for purchase at Harvey Nichols.
Shop Tara Jarmon:
Under the coat, Kate wore a bespoke dress from her “independent dressmaker” in a light peach colour.
She paired the outfit with her L.K. Bennett Sledge shoes and L.K. Bennett Avona clutch bag. Below we show the Sledge & Avona in four different matching colourways (click the arrow across to see more, click the image to be taken to the shop.)
The Couple’s Wedding Anniversary:
Although it was exactly two years since Will and Kate married in Westminster Abbey, we learned that the couple didn’t have a romantic anniversary dinner planned to mark the special day.
Kate revealed that William was “on shift” with the RAF, as a search and rescue helicopter pilot back in wales, around 300 miles away.
However, at the weekend, there were mutterings on Twitter about William and Kate being sighted after having dinner together at a restaurant.
About Children’s Hospice Week & How You Can Help:
Children’s Hospice Week runs from Friday April 20th – Friday May 3rd. It is run by Together for Short Lives, a UK palliative care charity. Kate has recently made a video to give support to the cause:
