The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge went on to travel to St. Bartholomew’s Hospital to speak to frontline workers.
Hold Still is the project the Duchess curated with the National Portrait Gallery. Launched in May, Hold Still was designed to create a photographic snapshot of the UK during the pandemic, using pictures taken by the public. More than 31,500 images were submitted, and 100 were selected to be part of an online exhibit; they are also being featured on posters and billboards in community exhibits around the UK.
The Duchess’s Alexander McQueen coat is a double-breasted style with peak lapels, front flap pockets, contrasting black buttons at the cuff, and front closure. The closest current style I can find is this design at Farfetch, the label’s Double-Breasted Asymmetric Coat ($4950) in a wool/cashmere blend, minus the draped fabric on the side.
