Kate Middleton suited up to pay a visit to the London Ambulance Service 111 control room on Wednesday, where she and husband Prince William met with the staff answering calls during the coronavirus crisis.
The Duchess of Cambridge, 38, showed support for a British brand during the outing, donning a Marks & Spencer Autograph double-breasted blazer ($175) and matching slim cropped trousers ($105), both in a soft shade of rose. She accessorized with a grey croc-embossed pair of Hugo Boss pumps.
Both Middleton and her sister-in-law Meghan Markle are major fans of M&S; the latter even incorporated a dress from the UK retailer into her charitable collection for Smart Works last year.
Prince William, 37, coordinated with his wife for their NHS call center visit, wearing a navy suit over a matching crewneck sweater and a light blue button-up shirt.
“Catherine and I were proud to visit staff working at NHS 111, to pass on our personal thanks, along with those of my grandmother and father, to staff working around the clock to provide care and advice to those that need it most,” the Duke of Cambridge wrote on Instagram after the pair’s visit. “The last few weeks, and more recent days have been understandably concerning with the continuing spread of coronavirus.”
Continued the royal, “But it’s at times like this when we realise just how much the NHS represents the very best of our country and society — people from all backgrounds and walks of life with different experiences and skills, pulling together for the common good. Not only are NHS staff and emergency workers responding to the needs of the public, they — like the rest of us — are concerned about their families, friends and loved ones. They need our support as much as we need theirs.”
Prince William finished his note by urging the public to practice social distancing to support healthcare workers and slow the disease’s spread. “All of us have a part to play if we’re going to protect the most vulnerable,” he wrote. “That means acting on the latest expert advice, staying home if we or those we live with have symptoms, and avoiding non-essential contact to help reduce the spread of the virus.”
