Prince William and Kate Middleton seen for first time since Harry's latest bombshells

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been seen for the first time since Prince Harry made more bombshell revelations about the royals.

The couple paid a visit to the London headquarters of the Disasters Emergency Committee, where they met aid workers who have returned from helping the humanitarian effort in Ukraine.

They also learned more about the DEC's ongoing appeal to support people affected by the conflict in the eastern European country.

The appeal has raised more than £280 million, including £25 million matched by the Government, with donations from companies, trusts, arts institutions, community groups, schools and individuals.

DEC charities and their local partners are in Ukraine and neighbouring countries providing food, water, shelter and medical assistance to support the four million people who have fled the country and seven million who are internally displaced.

William and Kate also spoke on a video call with those on the ground in Ukraine to learn more about the work the funds are helping to support and the human impact of the conflict.

For the outing, Kate wore a recycled beige blazer from Reiss and both her and William donned pin badges featuring the Ukrainian flag.

Their visit comes just a day after Harry opened up about the state of his relationship with his family and his recent meeting with the Queen.

He said that he wanted to make sure the monarch was "protected" and added he's been making sure she's "got the right people around her", a comment which has been heavily criticised.

However, he avoided answering a question about missing his dad Prince Charles and brother William, instead, turning the conversation back to the Invictus Games.

He also talked about his and William's late brother Princess Diana and said he's felt his late mum's presence "more than ever" since making the tough decision to step back from his royal duties.

Asked if he felt her presence, he replied "it's constant, it has been over the past two years, more so than ever before.

"It's almost like she's done her bit with my brother and now she's very much helping me.

"She's got him set up now she's helping get me set up, that's what it feels like. He's got his kids, I've got my kids. The circumstances are very different."
