The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge made another public appearance together on Tuesday, stepping out to meet some of the 100 finalists of Kate's Hold Still photography project which she launched during the UK lockdown.

Looking beautiful in a tailored red coat, the Duchess donned her favourite Amara Kids face mask as she met with Hackey Food Hub volunteer Sami Massalami Mohammed Elmassalami Ayed, who featured in the image 'Sami', taken by Grey Hutton – and oncology pharmacist Joyce Duah, who took the photograph 'All in this Together'.
