The Duchess of Cambridge surprised students and staff at UCL on Wednesday afternoon, when she dropped in for a chat with Professor Eamon McCrory. Professor McCrory is the Co-Director of the Developmental Risk and Resilience Unit in the Psychology & Language Sciences Division, and Kate was meeting with him to learn about how children develop emotionally and socially.
Mother-of-three Kate, who is passionate about helping children from a very young age, beat the November chill in her recycled Paule Ka suit. She looked typically graceful, wearing her brunette hair up. During the visit, the Duchess was shown the Unit's MRI Scanning Facility. She was shown how the scanner is used to study the brain, and saw the resulting images that allow scientists to see differences in brain structure and function.
