The Duchess of Cambridge stepped out for her first royal engagement of 2019 today, making a visit to King Henry’s Walk Garden in Islington.

The visit comes shortly after Kensington Palace announced the Duchess has been working on an exciting new project for the past three months.

Building on her passion for the outdoors and the benefits of nature on both physical and mental health, Kensington Palace has revealed the Duchess will design a garden for the Chelsea Flower Show later this year!

Kensington Palace said the garden "seeks to recapture for adults the sense of wonder and magic that they enjoyed as children, in addition to kindling excitement and a passion for nature in future generations".

"Wild planting and natural materials will be used to recreate a woodland wilderness where children and adults alike can feel closer to the great outdoors."

Kate will continue to work with the RHS and Davies White to help prepare for the opening of the show.

For her visit to the community garden in Islington today, which works to bring people together through nature and cooking, the Duchess wrapped up in a forest green coat and black skinny jeans.
