And it seems that Catherine will have her 'auntie' Hoda nearby in New York when she starts university. One fan told Hoda: "You’re the best friend. And how lucky is she that she’ll be in NYC with you."

There were plenty of compliments for Hoda about her stunning outfit too – a bright coral-coloured jumpsuit that she teamed with some heels, stacking bracelets and shades.
