Visiting a center helping Ukrainians affected by the war, Kate Middleton dressed in the colors of Ukraine’s flag – blue and yellow. For her heartwarming visit, Kate paired the polka dot dress from L.K. Bennett with a cozy Max and Co camel wrap coat.

Kate's colorful and chic blue and yellow polka dot dress is currently in the LK Bennett sale.
For her visit to the Ukraine center, Kate was met with a traditional Ukrainian cake as she learned about how the center has adapted its services in recent months from the volunteers.
Proving she’s never too far from mom mode, Kate then dove straight into a fun art session with children from the center, happily chatting away with them as they all expressed themselves through painting.
Adorably, one of the children wrote “Kate I Love You” on her drawing of hearts and rainbows – something which brought a huge smile to the Princess as she posed for a picture with the children.
For the Princess, the visit was a special one as she got to combine her interest in both art and the wellbeing of young people. Kate – and husband Prince William – have focused on delivering wellbeing and mental health initiatives to people of all ages lately.

Posting to the Prince and Princess of Wales’ official Twitter account after the visit, Kate wrote, “The inspirational work of the Reading Ukrainian Community Centre is non-stop, and it’s changing lives!”
“Providing practical advice on employment and housing, delivering educational classes for children, and building social connections, the center is at the heart of the community.”
This isn’t the first time the Princess has shown her support for the people of Ukraine – or sent subliminal messages through her fashion choices.
In March, Kate opted for a blue sweater and a flag pin when visiting another Ukrainian cultural center, and she and William made a rare political comment by publicly supporting the country on social media amid the war with Russia.
