Coronavirus: Kate wears a mask for first time on charity visit
Aug 5, 2020
The Duchess of Cambridge has revealed stories of families struggling during lockdown have moved her to tears.
Catherine was seen wearing a mask for the first time as she visited a Sheffield baby bank, which offers essential supplies to mothers in need.
She said she wept at the "bravery" shown by parents after an earlier visit to a similar project.
Previously during the pandemic, the duchess has usually attended engagements outdoors or via video call.
Her appearance in a floral fabric face mask comes after the Duchess of Cornwall wore a face covering during a visit to the National Gallery in London.
The Prince of Wales has also joked about being given tartan masks, while the Duke of Cambridge wore a medical mask to visit the Oxford Vaccine Group's facility.
