The Duchess of Cambridge, who is expecting a second baby in April, made an appearance Thursday at a London elementary school where she officially named the Clore Art Room. The new space for The Art Room, a charity patronized by the Duchess, provides art therapy to children with emotional and behavioral challenges.
An art history major who studied at the University of St. Andrews, where she met Prince William, Kate was accompanied by the well-heeled transvestite artist Grayson Perry in her visit to the school. Kate was presented with an art chair by students.
