Kate spends second anniversary solo

The Duchess of Cambridge missed out on spending her second wedding anniversary with husband Prince William, but she was still showered with gifts on her visit to Naomi House Children’s Hospice, of which she is patron.

A very pregnant Kate glowed and seemed quite clucky as she greeted children and toured the hospice’s facilities, and staff said she was “a natural” with the kids.

While William was on duty as a search and rescue pilot for the day, the couple are believed to have shared a private weekend together in Norfolk.
