The Duchess of Cambridge headed up to Sheffield this week for a visit to Baby Basics, an organisation which helps the UK's most vulnerable families with supplies. For the occasion, where she met with a number of volunteers, Kate followed government guidelines by practicing social distancing where possible and wearing a face covering where not.

This is the first time the duchess has been seen wearing a face mask for a public appearance. She chose a floral option from the brand Amaia London, which was the perfect accompaniment to her white summer dress by Suzannah and heeled pumps by Tabitha Simmons.

During her time at Baby Basics, the duchess helped unpack donations before talking to parents about how baby banks have provided them with invaluable support when they have needed it most.

"Over recent months, I have heard from families who have been supported by baby banks through the most difficult of times and I have been deeply moved by their stories," Kate said. "Having somewhere to turn to for support is important for all families, and baby banks work every day, up and down the country, to provide immediate, tangible and practical help for parents and carers when they are most in need."

"Baby banks are driven by incredible volunteers, demonstrating the power of community spirit in supporting families and coming together to raise the next generation. Thanks to the generosity of the companies taking part in this initiative, baby banks across the UK will be able to support even more families through this particularly challenging time."
