Princess Catherine looked incredible as she stepped out in an emerald green number featuring a thigh-high split and gorgeous billowing pleats for a royal duty close to her heart.


Kate Middleton's dress collection and heel collection are the envy of so many royal fashion fans and the Princess of Wales pulled some incredible picks from her closet for her engagement in London in honor of Mental Health Awareness Week. 

Princess Catherine arrived at the Anna Freud Centre to pay a visit to the charity that focuses on mental health support for children, young people and families. 

Arriving for the special day, Catherine looked gorgeous in an emerald green frock from Suzannah London, seemingly giving a nod to the green ribbon that is an international symbol of mental health support.
