Quinn’s decision to part ways comes just days after Middleton surprised a few folks as she took the Wherry Lines to Norfolk, where she visited The Nook hospice, a new center for severely ill children connected with her patronage East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices.

The mom of three was spotted exiting the Norwich train station after a three-hour ride to the East Anglia county, which is northeast of London.

Footage shared by bystanders at the station online shows her walking through the station with her royal entourage, past platforms one and two, to exit.

At the event, during which the royal was given a tour of The Nook’s new facilities, she recalled her first-ever royal speech, a moment she said she’ll “remember for some years to come.”
