Kate Middleton has paid tribute to Sarah Everard by laying flowers at a memorial for her at the bandstand on Clapham Common.
The Duchess of Cambridge joined mourners to pay her respects to Sarah, and spent time looking at flowers and messages of condolence left for the 33-year-old, whose body was found in a wooded area on Wednesday.
One witness said that 39-year-old Kate "looked a bit upset" and "quite emotional" during the unannounced, solo visit to the Common on Saturday afternoon.
Kensington Palace said Kate "wanted to pay her respects to the family and to Sarah".
"She remembers what it was like to walk around London at night before she was married", the Palace added.
Rhiannon Pithers, 25, an actuary who lives near to where Ms Everard was last seen, told the Telegraph: "We were just walking towards the bandstand and she was coming around the corner away from it.
"She looked a bit upset. She looked quite emotional. She was just on her own.
"About ten metres behind her there were 2 people following her. It wasn’t obvious she had security with her."
A memorial to Ms Everard has been growing in size throughout the day after a Reclaim These Streets vigil planned for 6pm had to be cancelled.
Vigils were due to take place across the UK to pay tribute to Ms Everard, a 33-year-old marketing executive who lived in Brixton, and to continue the discussion about violence against women and personal safety.
But it was cancelled after a High Court judge refused to intervene in a row between the organisers and the Met Police, who have charged one of their own officers with kidnapping and murdering Ms Everard.
The organisers said the force did an "about-face" after giving the event the ok to go ahead, later telling them it would be illegal under England's Covid-19 lockdown restrictions.
The organisers said the Met Police told them they could face huge fines and criminal prosecution if the event was held.
Reclaim These Streets raised almost £40,000 within hours and launched a legal challenge over the right to gather for a protest during coronavirus restrictions.
But a High Court judge in London refused to intervene.
Instead, the vigil will be held virtually and people are being encouraged to shine a light on their doorstep at 9.30pm on Saturday.
Reclaim These Streets said it would hold an in-person vigil as soon as the Covid rules allow it to do so.
The group had raised more than £250,000 for women's charities as of Saturday afternoon, with a target of £320,000.
Ms Everard's death prompted plans for multiple vigils across the country in her memory, as well as calls for more to be done to tackle violence against women and make streets and public spaces safer for women.
Ms Everard disappeared at about 9.30pm on March 3 as she walked from a friend's flat in Clapham to her home in Brixton, a journey that would have been 2.5 miles.
She spoke to her boyfriend on the phone for about 15 minutes and was seen on CCTV.
Her body was found some 50 miles away in a wooded area near Ashford, Kent, on Wednesday, a week after she went missing.
Metropolitan Police officer Wayne Couzens, 48, was arrested late on Tuesday night at his home in Deal, Kent, and he has been charged with kidnap and murder.
He appeared in person at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Saturday morning.
Couzens spoke only to confirm his name and personal details, sitting between two plain-clothes officers in the dock and leaning forward for most of the hearing.
He was remanded in custody and is due to appear at the Old Bailey on Tuesday.
