Duchess Kate Spectre, After a glamorous night at the world premiere of the new James Bond film, the Duchess of Cambridge could have been forgiven for a low-key day.
But Kate showed no signs of tiredness from the previous night's SPECTRE red carpet event when she met children enrolled in an early intervention mentoring programme on Tuesday.
She looked fresh-faced and stylish in a pleated grey dress by Orla Kiely, which she previously wore at an engagement in 2012, at Islington Town Hall.
The Duchess beamed as she greeted dozens of spectators at the event, where she met children in the programme designed to keep them clear of trouble in later life.
She was later due to attend a dinner in the City of London at the 100 Women in Hedgefunds event.
On Monday night, the Duchess dazzled in an elegenat blue gown as she joined her husband, the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry, at the glittering premiere of SPECTRE at the
And, earlier yesterday, she was beaten by Prince William in a welly-throwing contest at Bafta at the launch of the new Shaun the Sheep film.On Tuesday, Kate was greeted by Islington Mayor Richard Greening and the council leader Richard Watts.
During the visit, the Duchess attended a reception with officials from Chance UK - a charity designed to help children aged five to 11 who are at risk of slipping into a pattern of anti-social or criminal behaviour.
Chance UK Chief Executive Gracia McGrath and Senior Programme Manager Caroline Hopkins welcomed Kate to the engagement, saying there were some children inside who were "dying to meet her".
The Duchess spent time with six children from the programme - one from each borough it works in - with their parents and mentors, to learn about how it has personally benefited them.During the reception, the Duchess was due to hear a speech from Kessington Ladipo, of Hackney, who graduated from programme in 2005.
Mr Ladipo is now studying politics, economics and philosophy at Goldsmiths, University of London.
Chance's programmes provide weekly one-to-one mentoring sessions with a trained adult volunteer to help build the child's self-esteem and improve their confidence, education and family life.
The organisation - which was set up by a policeman working in Islington in 1995 - now helps more than 200 children across six of London's borough's every year.
The Duchess smiled and laughed with the children, seated at three separate tables, who showed her their scrap books of photos and drawings.
"So tell me, these are the fun things you've done together - wow," she said to one young boy as she looked at photos of rock climbing and other activities. Was it fun, did you get really high?"
