She speaks! Kate Middleton opens up at today’s Place2Be conference

It’s a back-to-back Royal sighting for us Kate Middleton fans and we couldn’t be more thrilled on this gloomy Wednesday morning.

As the Royal patron of Place2Be, an organization the Duchess has attended numerous events for in the past, Kate attended the second annual Place2Be Headteacher Conference, which is an opportunity for leaders of the organization’s partner schools from across the United Kingdom to not only speak out about the importance of children’s mental health, but also share ideas on how schools can help tackle this critical issue. Proving how dear this cause is to her, Kate made a rare public speech (she’s only made a few since the Royal wedding!) on making a difference for the younger generation and how grateful she is to have had such supportive parents and teachers growing up when many children today, unfortunately, aren’t as lucky.

For this occasion, Kate looked back in her wardrobe archives and recycled an oldie, but a goodie. In case you need a refresher, the Duchess wore this dove-grey Matthew Williamson dress back in 2012 for the African Cats premiere, which she had reportedly requested to add the bejeweled detailing in the neckline. Repeating the look down to the tee for today’s event, Kate completed her outfit with suede green Emmy London pumps and matching clutch. And thanks to the stubborn blustering wind that greeted her on her arrival, we caught a glimpse of her gold diamond leaf earrings by Kiki McDonough behind that envious luscious hair.
