Prince William and Kate Middleton Charitable Night Out
As cameras flashed, Kate Middleton aka Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge went out for the first time as the princess on June 8 2011.
Kate and her husband, Prince William, both attended a glamorous London fundraiser.
Wearing a beautiful floor-length blush organza Jenny Packham gown Kate got out of her blue Jaguar at the 10th annual Absolute Return for Kids (ARK) gala dinner.
As she stopped for pictures in the purple-carpeted steps she smiled as her handsome prince placed a guiding hand on her back.
Not Far From Home
Just a stone's throw from Kensington Palace, where the newlyweds plan to get an apartment as their London home, is Perks Field where the children's charity benefit took place in a custom-made marquee.
Arpad Busson the founder of ARK was delighted that the royal couple was the evening's guests of honor.
Busson said that William and Kate, "bridge the generations." "We need to get young philanthropists involved with us.” He continued. “They could not have been a better choice."
In a statement the palace said “William and Prince Harry's foundation and ARK share a common vision and commitment to transform the lives of disadvantaged children in the U.K. and around the world,"
Prince William and Kate set across from each other at a 25-seat table which also set:
- Tom Ford
- Jemima Khan
- Prince Pavlos of Greece
- Princess Marie-Chantal
- Countess von Bismarck
Kate was asked as her and William separated to meet different groups, "Where's your husband?" by curious guests. She replied with a lovely smile "We always get split up at these things."
