Kate Middleton swapped her red carpet gown and historic royal jewels<\/a> for her more classic day-to-day staples during an engagement to Southend-On-Sea, Essex today.<\/p>\n

For a visit to Forward Trust as she marks this year\u2019s Addiction Awareness Week, the Princess of Wales chose a houndstooth MaxMara blazer, chocolate Joseph Coleman trousers, and Boden penny loafers. The brown shades and checked pattern made her go-to outfit of blazer and trousers perfect for cooling temperatures.<\/p>\n

The Princess of Wales also stuck to jewelry staples, choosing her Cartier Trinity earrings and a necklace from Laura Lombardi, both frequently worn pieces, and her ring stack<\/a> which features Kate\u2019s famous 12-carat sapphire engagement ring<\/a> and a diamond-and-sapphire eternity<\/a> band.<\/p>\n

A closer look at Kate\u2019s jewelry today.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s engagement with Forward Trust is a cause that Kate has long advocated for. \u201cAddiction is not a choice,\u201d she said when she became patron of the organization in 2021<\/a>. \u201cNo one chooses to become an addict. But it can happen to any one of us. None of us are immune. It is all too rarely discussed as a serious mental health condition and seldom do we take the time to uncover and fully understand its fundamental root causes.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cThe journey towards addiction is often multi-layered and complex. But, by recognizing what lies beneath addiction, we can help remove the taboo and shame that sadly surrounds it. As a society, we need to start from a position of compassion and empathy. Where we nurture those around us, understand their journey, and what has come before them.\u201d<\/p>\n
