The Palace announced today that Kate is taking over patronage of the Royal Photographic Society -- this makes A LOT of sense, given her affinity for photography -- and she came out to celebrate it with a photography workshop with another one of her patronages, [Action for Children](https://www.actionforchildren.org.uk/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), which is celebrating their 150th anniversary.

This is an amazing picture of the queen:

Kate is really good with kids, you can tell:

That kid is clearly VERY enamored of this camera, too -- look, he's so distracted by it here. Our next great photojournalist! (I also love that two of the kids wore their best stripe-y shirts. Y'all get it!)

There was a lot of hugging and chatting at this event:

Clothing-wise: This dress was a MYSTERY for quite a while. Just as I was fixing to publish this post, [Bethan Holt of The Telegraph figured out that it's by Ridley London](https://twitter.com/BethanHolt/status/1143565275901698048?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), albeit [in a different fabric](https://ridleylondon.com/products/virginia-midi-1?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), so I'm not sure if this dress is VERY old or so new that it's not out yet. (And she's had the wedges forever, though I did just learn that [you can get them in coral now](https://rstyle.me/+FKGsU7Mc7hVud7C2UykReg?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), which I actually like better.) I like it very much. I *love* the pattern; she looks like the inside of a very fancy Crane's envelope.
