- Kate Middleton looked elegant in polker dots while sharing an important message on addiction on behalf of The Forward Trust.
- The Princess of Wales' pretty shirt featured an on-trend scalloped collar.
- In other royal news, Kate Middleton and Prince William issue a heartfelt response to tragic Halloween party accident in Seoul.
Kate Middleton was announced as patron of The Forward Trust in 2021, empowering people with addictions to seek help. The Princess of Wales discussed the 'Taking Action on Addiction' campaign in the video on behalf of The Forward Trust, which is a British charity that helps people with drug and alcohol dependence.
The Princess of Wales looked radiant in a scalloped edged polka dot shirt from Tory Burch, sporting natural makeup and her signature bouncy blow dry.
The silk shirt is an elegant choice, with a blue and white polka dot print, featuring a scalloped-edge collar and white cuffs which elevate it to dreamy style levels. Sadly, due to the famous 'Kate effect,' the blouse is now sold out online.
Today, during #AddictionAwarenessWeek, I want to offer a message of support to those who are continuing to suffer. I know this was not a choice. Recovery is possible. https://t.co/h4DpXBtYwn pic.twitter.com/ufTcMnX765October 30, 2022
The Princess teamed the statement piece with beautiful earrings; gold hoops adorned with Baroque pearl drops (there are plenty of statement pieces in the early Black Friday jewelry deals if you want to recreate the look).
It's not the first time that Catherine has been spotted in this item, wearing her stunning Tory Burch silk shirt during engagements in Wolverhampton in 2021.
Alongside the video, the Princess of Wales wrote, "Today, during #AddictionAwarenessWeek, I want to offer a message of support to those who are continuing to suffer. I know this was not a choice. Recovery is possible."

Fans were quick to comment on the Princess of Wales' video, praising her support of The Forward Trust.
One wrote on Twitter in reply to Catherine's post, "Addicts are often forgotten in society as some people see them as a problem. I agree with the #PrincessofWales, most addiction has a root cause, something you are trying to block out, run from or some are unfortunately born into it. Thank you for highlighting."
While a second said, "I agree as a society there is a tendency to blame/shame, we don’t see the person, or underlying suffering.. we just see the addiction.. it’s great that the Princess of Wales is increasing awareness."
While a third wrote, "She's right. Attitudes do need to change, addiction is an illness as much as anything. Really. People need to not judge a person off outward appearance."
