"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.
