Kate Middleton Wore a Chic Pair of Boots to a Farm in Northern Ireland
The Duchess of Cambridge is in Northern Ireland today, continuing to promote her UK-wide survey, "5 Big Questions on the Under-Fives"—an initiative designed to jumpstart conversations about early childhood.
She arrived in Newtownards wearing a casual outfit: brown boots, jeans, a dark green coat, and a gray turtleneck. A pair of gold, leaf-shaped earrings finished off the look.
Kate seemed to have a great time at the Ark Open Farm, a farm that allows visitors—many of whom are in their younger years. While there, she helped feed a lamb, held a snake, and met an alpaca—and of course, spoke with parents and children about the importance of a child's early years.
The Duchess has previously promoted the "5 Big Questions" survey in Birmingham, Cardiff, Woking, and London. "I want to hear the key issues affecting our families and communities so I can focus my work on where it is needed most," the Duchess of Cambridge has said of the project. "My ambition is to provide a lasting change for generations to come."
Ipsos MORI is conducting the survey behalf of the Royal Foundation, and the company's Managing Director of Public Affairs, Kelly Beaver, previously explained how experts could learn from the information it gathers. "Whilst many studies have been conducted to generate evidence of the importance of the early years," she said, "there is a real lack of evidence to understand whether this is understood by the British public, or which bring to life how it feels to be a parent of an under 5 in the UK today—the division of roles and responsibilities and the aspirations for the youngest in our society."
The survey will run through 10:20 p.m. GMT on February 21st and can be found at www.5bigquestions.org.uk.
