Vinnie Day Gols Leaf Simple Single Bali Earrings

William and Catherine visited the Unicef warehouse in Copenhagen, Denmark with the Crown Prince and Princess of Denmark in order to bring awareness to childhood starvation in East Africa. During the trip, Catherine made an statements, against the norm, since we hardly hear her speak.

Catherine wore a dark red LK Bennett "Ami" coat, cinced with a Vecceli Italy red belt. Catherine wore black suede, Stuart Weitzman "Zipkin" boots. She carried a black clutch and wore Vinnie Day "Gols" Leaf Simple Single Bali Earrings.

An interesting note to the visit was that the group of four sat down to sample some peanut paste, sent to malnourished children. The Crown Prince and Princess, as well as Prince William sampled the paste. When Prince William handed the tube to Catherine, she gave him a knowing glance, then handed it back for him to read the label. She declined to taste. This could be because she is in fact, expecting, and therefore, should not consume raw nuts due to allergies. This blog does agree with the theory.
