Kate Middleton & Prince William Step Out to Support the Arts in Sunderland!

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge (aka Kate Middleton) happily speaks to a young girl as she visits The Fire Station on Wednesday morning (February 21) in Sunderland, England.

The 36-year-old pregnant royal was accompanied by her husband Prince William to help bring awareness to the city’s arts and music scene, including the official opening of the Fire Station, one of the city’s most iconic buildings that was recently converted into a hub for artists.

Kate and Prince William will attend performances of music, dance and theatre from local children and young people.

In addition, the royal couple will tour the Northern Spire, a new bridge over the River Wear that is due to open in the spring.

FYI: Kate is wearing a Dolce & Gabbana coat.
