    Kate Middleton was all smiles as she played with children at Child Bereavement UK

    Kate Middleton may have looked like the perfect princess as she stepped out in a cashmere coat from Goat on Tuesday but she paired her style with plenty of substance while playing with children on a charity visit.

    KATE MIDDLETON WEARS TOPSHOP FOR CHARITY VISIT WITH PRINCE WILLIAM

    The pregnant Duchess of Cambridge was her usual perfectly turned out self when she visited Child Bereavement UK’s headquarters near High Wycombe. After speaking with well-wishers it was down to business as a new side (beyond looking amazing and waving) of Kate was unveiled.

    Once inside, Kate Middleton immediately got involved with the children, wasting no time in playing. First stop was painting with three children although the royal managed not to mess up her monochrome Topshop dress – a skill in itself when working with children!

    After spending plenty of time chatting to children who have been helped by the bereavement charity the Duchess spoke with staff at the centre who couldn’t help but appear in awe of the royal.

    And who can blame them? These pictures only serve to show Kate is certainly not just a pretty face.
