Even when she's roughing it in the woods, Kate Middleton still manages to look effortlessly chic. Bonding with 28 eight-and nine-year-olds from the King Solomon Academy Primary School, based in North Westminster, London Sunday, the Duchess of Cambridge wearing a pair of leather-lined Le Chameau wellington boots, Zara jeans, a Burberry shirt and a Really Wild sleeveless jacket to tour a campground in Kent.
Visiting an Expanding Horizons primary school scheme at the Widehorizons Margaret McMillan House in Wrotham, Kent,
Middleton, 30, marveled at the tipi tents the inner-city kids had
created. "This is marvelous," she told the children. "Thank you for
showing me your bedroom."
Later, Prince William's
wife chatted with the schoolchildren around a campfire, and offered
them a glimpse into her home life with her husband of one year. "Well,
it's been very busy and great fun…but I am very well looked after," she
said when asked how she's adjusted to her new status as a royal. As for married life behind closed doors? "William is very sweet and kind of spoils me," she told another child.
Prince William and his brother
Harry have long supported
ARK Schools,
the group which organized the weekend, which is aimed at allowing
inner-city kids the chance to develop their confidence and teamwork
skills in an outdoor setting.
