The Duchess of Cambridge was joined by husband William for their first royal outing of the year to hear of the challenges of those who turned their lives around after growing up in chaotic homes.
Kate's stylish budget look included a Jigsaw coat & "subtle" earrings which cost just £7.
Kate, who last year set up her Centre for Early Childhood, and Wills spoke with charity bosses at the Foundling Museum who discussed homelessness, mental health impact and helping young people in care who fail or slip through the cracks.
