- This week, Kensington Palace released never-before-seen photos from a secret visit the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, paid to Kingston Hospital's Maternity Unit earlier this year.

- During the visit, Kate wore a printed crepe MICHAEL Michael Kors dress, which she accessorized with Kiki McDonough diamond earrings.
Kate Middleton pulled off a secret engagement last month that we all missed.

"You are there for women at their most vulnerable; you witness strength, pain and unimaginable joy on a daily basis," the duchess wrote in the letter.
For the secret visit, Kate wore a MICHAEL Michael Kors dress. The belted, printed fil coupé georgette midi dress was absolutely stunning (not that we would, for one second, expect anything less). She paired the dress with black tights and diamond earrings by Kiki McDonough.
