Though her pregnancy prevented her from performing the majority of her royal duties early on, Kate Middleton is making up for lost time this week.
On Friday (January 16) the Duchess of Cambridge kicked off her day with a visit to The Fostering Network in the Islington district of London, highlighting all the good work that goes on at the foster care charity. And of course, Kate looked marvelous in a dark brown Hobbs silk shirt dress that showed off her growing baby bump.
During her visit, Kate had tea and biscuits with social workers, kids and administrators while discussing the massive task of managing 63,000 children who live with 52,500 foster families across the United Kingdom. Fostering Network director Lucy Peake explained, "A visit from The Duchess helps to shine a spotlight on fostering and the need for more foster carers. We are very grateful to her for her interest, and know that the foster carers and care leavers attending our event today are excited to be sharing their experiences and stories with her."
