The Duchess of Cambridge champions NHS wearing baby blue Tabitha Webb knit for latest virtual appearance

As most of us struggle to get through the week without resembling a feral tearaway, it would seem that the Duchess of Cambridge is having no such issue.

Since lockdown began in March, she's showcased an array of stellar at-home ensembles. From the peachy M&S suit she wore to make a phone call to the CEO of children's mental health charity, Place 2 Be to the zingy lemon Zara jumper she wore for her first-ever public Zoom call, the mother-of-three has effortlessly maintained her perennially put-together look.

And now we have further proof, as in a newly-released video, the Duchess made a virtual bedside visit to new parents, Rebecca Attwood and John Gill, and wore the perfect baby blue wool and cashmere chevron-knit jumper from Tabitha Webb (£275, available to pre-order here) to mark the occasion.

This isn't the first time the 38-year-old has sported the British brand; she most recently wore it while launching her Early Years survey in January, when she wore a geometric blouse by Webb (£295, available for pre-order here.)

British designer Tabitha Webb launched her eponymous womenswear collection in 2015 and has built up a cult following of stars including Pippa Middleton, Jodie Comer and Cara Delevigne, to name just a few.

At a later stage in the video, the royal also appears to change into the sold-out Boden Aurora dress she wore for the Cambridge's Christmas 2019 card.

Kate wore her hair in a chic half-up, half-down 'do, a style that has become hers and the Duchess of Sussex's go-to for virtual appearances,

In the video, which was shared to Kensington Royal's social media channels, Kate chatted to the couple about their new-born baby Max, and when she was told the infant had been born the night before, the royal said: "My goodness, you must be exhausted."

The video call was made on April 22 to staff at the maternity unit of Kingston Hospital in south-west London, where she spent two days on a work placement last November.
