The busy royal, who is a patron of both the Evelina Children’s hospital and the National Portrait Gallery, looked a picture of sartorial elegance as she arrived at the occasion.
The intention of the visit was for the duchess learn how the creative arts support children's health, wellbeing and happiness.
She wore the tweed double-breasted skirt suit – which she has been pictured wearing before – styled with black tights and pointed black block heels.
Her characteristic wavy brunette hair was worn in a chic half-up, half-down style.
The duchess met staff, patients and their families at the hospital during her visit.
She was presented with two “rag wreaths” by two children – heart patient Luke Wheeler-Waddison, 10, and his sister Savannah, 4 – during the event, and promised to put the pink one up in her daughter Princess Charlotte’s bedroom, according to royal correspondent Rebecca English.
