The Duchess of Cambridge cut a stylish figure in a recycled Oscar De La Renta outfit as she arrived by train to open the £10 million Nook children’s hospice in Norfolk today.

Kate Middleton, 37 – who is Royal Patron of East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) – was spotted wearing the same £2, 736 peplum two-piece for a visit to the the Royal Opera House back in January.

She also donned the magenta skirt suit to a mental health conference in February 2017.

During her visit to the charity’s new hospice in Framingham Earl, she will meet children and families being supported by EACH, tour the hospice, and unveil a plaque to officially open the building.

East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices cares for children and young people with life-threatening conditions across Cambridgeshire, Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk and supports their families. 

Their care service includes specialist nursing care, symptom management nursing, short breaks, well-being activities, therapies, counselling and volunteer services in the family home; all meeting the individual needs of the child, young person and whole family.

After a five-year public appeal to raise £10 million and two years of building work, the hospice charity EACH has now welcomed children, young people and families to The Nook, a purpose-built hospice in Framingham Earl near Norwich.

The Duchess attended the launch of The Nook appeal in November 2014. 

Kate also visited the charity’s previous Norfolk hospice in Quidenham in January 2017, which served as a home-from-home for over 25 years, where she received an update on the appeal.

The new building, which contains more areas for clinical care and dedicated therapy rooms, will allow EACH to meet the increased demand for its service and the ever-changing and more complex needs of those it cares for. 

Kate will undertake a tour of the facilities, including the hospice’s sensory room, and will also visit the hospice’s main care area where she will meet families and children taking part in arts and crafts activities.

She will then join a reception before making a short speech and unveiling a plaque to mark the official opening of The Nook.

The Duchess of Cambridge has been Royal Patron of East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices since 2012.
