The Duchess of Cambridge looked radiant as she paid a visit to a children’s centre in London today.

Kate, 37, donned a £270 polka dot blouse and wide leg black culottes for the outing to Sunshine House Children and Young People’s Health and Development Centre in Peckham, this morning.

The royal was on hand to learn more about the Family Nurse Partnership (FNP), a voluntary programme that offers home visits to parents aged up to 24.

She appeared in excellent spirits as she spent time with parents and children who had benefited from the services, as well as nurses and staff members involved.

Mothers are partnered with a specially-trained family nurse who visits them regularly, from early pregnancy until their child is two.

During her visit, Kate will speak to first-time mothers who have been helped with the Southwark branch of the initiative, as well as nurses who take part in the programme.

FNP is delivered in around 70 areas across England and each local team features specially-trained family nurse supervisors, family nurses, and quality support officers.

The duchess is patron of the children’s hospital Evelina London, which delivers the initiative in the London borough of Southwark.
