Kate Middleton Wore an Emerald Emilia Wickstead Dress for Her Anna Freud National Centre Event

Kate Middleton is starting May with a work engagement: the Duchess of Cambridge has just arrived to open the Centre of Excellence for the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families. Kate is a patron of the organization.

For the event today, Kate wore an Emilia Wickstead emerald dress with nude heels and a clutch. It was a very spring look, down to the fact Kate had no coat on with it.

As Kensington Palace explained when it announced the event on Twitter, Kate will also "visit the Pears Family School in its new building and meet children and their families participating in a music class."

The visit comes after the Duchess of Cambridge was last out at Anzac Day service with Prince Harry on Thursday, April 25. The two were photographed arriving to Westminster Abbey:

News came out shortly after the two's church appearance that Kate and William had visited Harry's wife Meghan Markle too at her and Harry's new Windsor home, Frogmore Cottage, on Easter Sunday. Meghan did not attend Easter service in Windsor with the royal family because she is due any day with her and Harry's first child.

“William and Catherine visited because Meghan was unable to attend the service,” a close source told royal reporter Omid Scobie for Harper's Bazaar. “They wanted to be supportive and see how she is doing. It was a lovely afternoon.”

That visit was a surprise, Scobie said on Good Morning America. "After Sunday’s Easter service, William and Kate actually paid a surprise visit to Meghan at Frogmore Cottage," he said. "It was their first time visiting the new home. But of course Meghan wasn’t at the service so it also was an opportunity for them to see how she’s doing, check up on her."

Harry and Kate also appeared very friendly arriving at the Anzac Day service. That's because behind the scenes, they really are close. As Scobie explained on GMA, "Harry and Kate have always had a warm and close relationship. You’d often see the two of them on engagements laughing together and joking. And so yesterday’s appearance at Westminster Abbey was a reminder of just how close that relationship [is] and how it remained throughout the years."
