KATE Middleton has wowed the crowds at Imperial War Museum as she opened two new galleries today.
The Duchess of Cambridge wore a military-style coat and a Remembrance poppy as she officially opened the museum’s Second World War and The Holocaust galleries.
The thrifty royal also recycled a ten-year-old shirt for the occasion.
She was seen wearing the garment on a visit to a Birmingham Community Centre in 2011, and again as she toured Bletchley Park in 2014.
This afternoon, Kate has viewed the exhibition Generations: Portraits of Holocaust Survivors.
The show includes the two portraits she took last year to mark 75 years since the end of the Holocaust.
The images are of Steven Frank and Yvonne Bernstein, who arrived in the UK after the Second World War.
Another portrait on display is by Sun royal photographer Arthur Edwards.
The mum-of-three, 39, was all smiles as she arrived at the museum close to Waterloo in South London this afternoon.
Kate’s photos were taken for a project to mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
Mr Frank survived as a child in the concentration camps he was sent to, but his dad was gassed to death for speaking out against the Nazis.
Ms Bernstein was hidden as a child in France for most of the war.
Kate’s visit comes ahead of tomorrow’s Remembrance Day commemorations.
Earlier today, The Queen, the Cambridges and Prince Charles used their social media accounts to pay tribute to Britain’s war dead ahead of Remembrance Sunday.
Their accounts are now displaying a red poppy in honour of the fallen.
The Queen, 95, is expected to lead the Royal Family’s tributes at this Sunday’s Remembrance Sunday commemorations at the Cenotaph in London.
