Just one day after sporting casual clothes (and helmets!) to ride bikes and repelin the Lake District, Kate got glammed up in an all-white ensemble — a blazer over a flowing skirt with lace detailing at the bottom — to get together with partners who supported herHold Still photography project. Last year, the royal mom encouraged people across the U.K. to capture life amid the coronavirus lockdown, resulting in a poignantdigital galleryandbook.
Kate, 39, hosted representatives from theNational Portrait Gallery,The Book Fairies UK,Co-opand more.
“Thank you to the brilliant partners who made Hold Still a reality!” Kate andPrince William’s official Instagram page captioned two photos from the evening. “It took a long time to bring everyone behind this incredible project together in person but tonight we finally managed it. The idea for#HoldStill2020came right at the start of the pandemic, and aimed to bring people and communities together, using the amazing power of photography.”
