Duchess of Cambridge Charities and Patronages

[LadyGabrielle]

Does anyone know what Catherine is doing now? Are there any pictures of her visiting her charities? Things seem to be quiet at the moment.

So far no informations about her engagements. I think she would do something when William will be abroad. At least I hope that she'll do something.

Do we know when William is leaving?

Catherine will be taking part in some solo engagements while William is in the Falklands.

Oooooooh..."secretly." The word has such a different connotation to "privately" or "confidentially."

Just another example of DM stirring the pot when there's no need to be doing so. As so many pointed out, when there's no newsworthy material, one must create some , even if it makes the paper look ridiculous in the process.

Love the middle picture- the smiles and laughs say it all.

The little boy looks like one of my students from last spring. When I saw his face and smile, I did a double take, he looked exactly like Daniel. He smiles like that when he's concentrating on something, and knows he's doing a good job.

I do love the smiles on all involved. Very genuine and engaging. The little boy is over the moon at getting some attention for doing a good job.

You asked that in January: now we could find out, whate she did in "private":

Obviously she started her volonteer work with the Scouts in Anglesey.

So what do you suppose Catherine thinks about the death of Eva Rousing? Apparently she was found dead and had a problem with drugs along with her husband. They are philanthropists worth billions and were supporters of Action on Addiction. They have given lots of money to the charity. I wonder if Catherine ever met them. Its rather sad that they still had the addictions even after going through rehab. The news said her husband was arrested having found drugs in his possession and was driving crazy. The police werent sure how long Eva had been deceased, maybe a few days. Such a sad story. Just thought I would comment on this since Catherine is patron of this charity.

I heard about that just a little while ago and its sad to see just how tragic addictions can turn out to be. I would guess that Kate feels as the rest of us probably do that abusing any substance is self destructive. I don't think she would go public with any kind of statement and if anything, it would confirm the need for programs such as Action on Addiction.

In her recent tour of the north-east, the Duchess of Cambridge met members of M-PACT, a project helping families affected by addiction. Olivia Parker looks at their ground-breaking work:
