UPDATED: The Cambridges Return to London, Kate's Private Hospital Visit & Latest Updates

Good evening, dear readers,

We're back again with news of Mustique departure photos which emerged a little earlier this evening. Several of you commented they usually come out a few days after the Cambridges have returned to the UK and we see that trend continuing this year.

The family were photographed boarding a British Airways flight at St Lucia's airport last Friday following a two-week break on the Caribbean island of Mustique with the Middleton family. There's a selection of snaps available at the Mail Online and PopSugar; unfortunately we only get a glimpse of Kate carrying George. Speaking of the little Prince, below we see him looking very sleepy in stripy pyjamas.

The Duchess looked relaxed and casual in a black cardigan/top, jeans and wore her hair tied back in a scrunchie.

While Kate carried their son, William was busy carrying bags, ID's for the bag include the Cath Kidston Folk Flowers Busy Travel Bag. There's a variety of bags of different types and sizes available including the Folk Flowers Foldaway Overnight Bag and the Travel Bag (reduced from $120 to $80).

Other items available in the striking print are the Folk Flowers Mini Satchel reduced from $61 to $40 and the Zip Wallet.

Another very likely suggestion is the Jules Bluposy Stopover Womens Overnight Bag (with thanks to Helena) If I had to guess I would say this is the correct ID. It was reduced from £75 to £10 before selling out online.

As for Prince George's pyjamas, the experts at Prince George Pieces believe he may have been wearing the $38.50 Polarn O. Pyret Baby Boys Best Basic Baby Eco Pyjamas. They are currently available at Amazon.

I'm sure the family had a wonderful trip and will be returning next January with Prince George and his little brother or sister!

News has just come in confirming the Duchess paid a private visit to the Bethlem and Maudsley Hospital School today (Feb 10) which cares for children with mental problems. Kate spent around ninety minutes meeting youngsters and was there in her role as patron of Place 2 Be.

More from Kensington Palace:

'The Duchess of Cambridge this afternoon visited the Bethlem and Maudsley Hospital School, Beckenham.
This visit was arranged through Place2Be, of which HRH is Royal Patron, after learning about their work during the Place 2 Reflect conference last year to further develop her knowledge of the sector.'

As the visit was private we don't expect to see pictures.

As many of you may have heard, Kensington Palace announced the Duchess will visit Stoke-on-Trent and Smethwick on 18 February. Kate's first engagement will see her visit the Emma Bridgewater factory. The factory will be used in the production of a range of mugs in support of East Anglia's Children's Hospices, which Kate had a hand in designing.


Afterwards, Her Royal Highness will join families from the Donna Louise Children's Hospice in a ceramic painting workshop, before unveiling a plaque to commemorate the visit in front of assembled staff in the factory courtyard.

Next, Kate will visit Action for Children's Cape Hill Children's Centre.

Action for Children

More from the official press release:

'Her Royal Highness will get an introduction to the charity and its work in providing early support for vulnerable families across the UK from staff and volunteers. The Duchess of Cambridge will then attend a private roundtable discussion with families who have accessed Action for Children services including the organisation's Sandwell Family Partners programme, which is based at the children’s centre.
 Her Royal Highness will then watch a play session and meet the children and parents who use Cape Hill Children’s Centre.'

Kate works particularly well with children and her support of this organisation will be most welcome. The area's local authority is the 12th most deprived in England and any attention and interest the visit will bring will be important.

We know how many of you are fond of Kate's Aquatalia Rhumba Boots.

Nordstrom

We're sure many fans of the stylish black suede boots will be pleased to see they are currently on sale at Nordstrom significantly discounted from £505 to £313. Colours include black, charcoal and espresso. Made in Italy, the weatherproof stretch boot comes with a fitted slip-resistant rubber sole.


Do many of you own the boots? If so, please let us know your thoughts on them.

Finally, it's always nice to see new photos of Kate from her pre-engagement days. Friend Richard Dennen shared this snap of Kate.
