Princess Kate Hits the Second-Hand Store!

Consignment stores just got a whole lot more glamorous. On Friday morning, Princess Kate took a 25-mile drive from her country house in Anmer to visit a second-hand shop in neighboring Holt. In a blue M Missoni coat (another rewear!),
she browsed racks of dresses that are a world away from the bespoke fashions she wears at formal public events.

The new store benefits East Anglia's Children's Hospices, a cause that the royal mom holds dear.

Inside, she met volunteers and families who benefit from the charity's support. The hospice currently cares for 700 children, young people and family members, including 300 based at the facility at Quidenham.

She also bought a Fireman Sam book – presumably for Prince George – and a figurine.With a tour of India and Bhutan set for April, Princess Kate is spending as much time as she can with her children, 2-year-old Prince George and 10-month-old Princess Charlotte. Today's appearance is her last scheduled public outing for some time.

East Anglia's Children's Hospices, one of the first charities to be adopted by Kate soon after her 2011 marriage, is also trying to raise $14.5 million with the "Nook Appeal", which Kate launched two years ago, to build a new hospice and provide other services in the county.people
