It is known that the Duke and Duchess support many youth initiatives, and this time their latest release coincided with the celebration of Windrush Day, which is dedicated to British migrants and their contribution to the country’s culture. Prince William, who turned 40 yesterday, and his peer Kate Middleton started their morning at London’s Brixton House, where they talked to teenagers who are part of the ELEVATE program, aimed at supporting creative youth.
The young generation of the British-Caribbean community and other diasporas warmly welcomed the guests: enthusiasts talked to the monarchs about the prospects for development in creative professions and held a master class in photography, in which Kate Middleton took an active part.
The Duchess of Cambridge, as usual, was at her best: Kate dressed up in a snow-white formal suit (a £1,370 Alexander McQueen blazer, which she already wore in Jamaica on a recent Caribbean tour, and skinny crepe pants for £590), which she complemented with pumps and a structured small Mulberry bag to match. Chalk’s chunky gold and silver chain earrings for £70 completed the summer glowing look. William, without betraying himself, preferred a classic business suit with a wine-colored shirt and tie.
Later, the royal couple traveled to the famous Waterloo station for the unveiling of the Windrush National Monument, where William, along with Baroness Benjamin and Member of Parliament Michael Gove, gave a solemn speech. The monument depicting a father, mother and child sitting on suitcases symbolizes the courage and dedication of migrants who came to the UK from 1948 to 1971 to help rebuild the country after the Second World War. The monument was designed by Jamaican sculptor Basil Watson. By the way, it was through the Waterloo station that thousands of people from the Caribbean countries passed in those days.
