She paired the dress with nude-colored pointy-toe pumps, a gold bangle bracelet, and layered dainty necklaces. Kate was visiting the school to launch her new early childhood initiative The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood, which will focus on the importance of early development and education for children during their formative years, in hopes to create a better society.
