On 24 September 2026, the Princess of Wales visited The Forward Trust in Southend, Essex, to mark Addiction Awareness Week. The Forward Trust supports people recovering from addiction, helping them rebuild their lives. The Princess has been a Patron of the charity since 2021. She launched the first Addiction Awareness Week in 2021 on behalf of the Trust.
The Princess of Wales visited Garon Park, where The Forward Trust hosts weekly gardening sessions for people in recovery from addiction. She was shown around the cricket ground, which features a wellbeing walk and gardening area where people receiving support through The Forward Trust’s Southend Treatment and Recovery Service (STARS) can walk and talk or try their hand at gardening.

What a fantastic initiative, and how nice to have the Princess’ support. There is little which is more healing than community + nature.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful outfit, she is one of the few who can wear brown well. I love this necklace, so much so that last time I saw it on her, I looked it up. And her shoes are excellent, perfect with this type of trousers and nice to see flats on her.
ReplyDeleteThe Princess of Wales has a very special way of connecting to people with humbleness and empathy, no matter what sort of public engagement she Is carrying out.
ReplyDeleteFrom the hall of a Premiere to the a country scenario, from uplifting visits to hospitals to state banquets, she has the inborn quality of letting people be themselves and talk to her naturally.
She efforlessly can fit in whatsoever surroundings.
She will make a very remarkable Queen in due time and is already very much loved and held in high esteem.
I think she deserves all the affection She gets everywhere.
Regal, in every respect.

Beatiful ❤️
ReplyDeleteElegant and chic princess.
ReplyDeleteI don't like the Prince of Wales check up close never have but zoomed out it's a really good look for autumn. Not crazy about the earrings or necklace.
ReplyDeleteSimple, nice fall look aside from the necklace and earrings.
ReplyDeleteDon't like the blazer or pants length but nice outfit.This sounds like a good patronage. I'll have to look it up.
ReplyDeleteThe pants length is quite weird. It seems like an unfortunate cut and with loafers it’s not working well for me. Either the pants should graze the ankles, or be full length. Her ankles appear twisted with this length. Otherwise, good to see a rewear on the blazer, but for me the pants ruin the entire outfit
ReplyDeleteTwisted ankles? Oh dear. Something else must be twisted here. Please do your research about the correct pant length (pants with non-wide hem) when wearing loafers.
DeleteI agree that the pants are not a great choice on length or color, but that’s my personal issue with all brown from head to toe. The pants and shoe combo looks strange to me as well. Needs to either be shorter or longer to work.
DeleteShe looks splendid in this ensemble, perfect for this visit. The jacket, I love, perfect length, lovely to see the rewear. Her shoes work in well with the rest of her ensemble.
ReplyDeleteComme presque toujours, Kate est parfaite. Josée.
ReplyDeletePerfect, thoroughly modern royal, lovely outfit, engaged and sincere.
ReplyDeleteCette tenue automnale lui sied à merveille surtout qu’elle est chaussée de mocassins !
ReplyDeleteSplendida iniziativa, bellissima lei. Ovunque vada emana calore e simpatia, non fa differenza tra un red carpet e un luogo istituzionale e questa è la sua magia.
ReplyDeleteÈ una gioia vederla in grande forma, buon lavoro principessa Catherine ❤️
It’s okay with the jacket unbuttoned, falls at a good place. Seems to be her signature casual look, skinny pants, jacket, flats or boots. Good country look. Jewelry has a casual vibe as well.
