And, because it’s Shrove Tuesday, there were pancakes, of course! It’s a longstanding traditions in the United Kingdom to eat pancakes on the day before Ash Wednesday. Kate joined in the pancake-making process during her Oxford House visit.

Here’s a closer look at the earring details. The blue button earrings feature gold accents in a quilted pattern, almost like a Chanel handbag. I don’t know any information about their provenance, but they look vintage to me.
