For the visit, Kate wore a blue and white houndstooth blazer and navy trousers and flats, an ensemble that made it easy for her to get on the floor to chat with parents and children.

I know many are forever hoping to see Kate break out more royal bling for both daytime and evening visits. But it’s clear that she sees these pieces as suitable for daytime princess-ing. They’re sparkly enough to be noticed but not so bright and loud that they grab attention from the cause at hand.
