The Duchess of White: Kate Attends Premiere of ‘Street Cat Named Bob’

The Duchess of Cambridge has this evening attended the premiere of A Street Cat Named Bob at the Curzon Cinema in Mayfair, which was held in support of one of her patronages, Action on Addiction.

Wearing a white floor-length gown with a pleated skirt from label Self Portrait, Kate met with the actors, filmmakers and real-life inspiration behind the film, which tells the story of  James Bowen, a busker recovering from a drug addiction when he takes in and nurses a stray cat back to health before the pair become a popular ‘double act’ and their fortunes begin to rise.

“Is that purring or growling?” Kate asked Mr Bowen as she stroked the head of the real-life Bob, who appeared completely unfazed by all the attention he was receiving.

Earlier, the Duchess was present at a special screening of films in The Recovery Street Film Festival, which features “films made by former addicts and their loved ones about life in recovery from addiction.”
