“Each copy is adorned with a gold book fairy sticker, gold ribbon, and has a letter from The Duchess tucked inside. To make this activity even more special, book fairies, the Hold Still judges and participants of the final 100 images are leaving copies at places that gave them hope during the lockdown,” explained the caption of Duke and Duchess’ Instagram account. “This special book documenting the unique collection of photographs goes on sale today in UK bookshops and online.”
For one stop, Middleton herself stopped by the National Portrait Gallery in London to place a book. During the outing, the duchess went bright in an unmissable red coat, bearing resemblance to a bespoke design from British boutique Eponine. The piece also came layered over a pleated tan skirt.
As for footwear, the royal style star decided on a sleek set of pumps with a lifted fit. The brown leather pair featured a contrasting 4-inch wooden heel, bearing resemblance to that of Ralph Lauren’s Celia pumps. Available for $675 on the brand’s website, the silhouette also includes a pointe-toe, rounded vamp and padded insole
In her royal style rotation of stylish heels, Kate Middleton tends to include pumps from Jimmy Choo, Stuart Weitzman, Emmy London and Gianvito Rossi amongst other top brands.
