The Duchess of Cambridge spent several hours speaking with drug addicts and alcoholics yesterday, it has been revealed.
As her husband left for a six-week tour of duty in The Falklands, Kate went on a ‘private’ visit to the Action on Addiction headquarters in Wiltshire.
It is one of four charities she has become patron of, and St James’s Palace said the appointment went unannounced as the Duchess wants to gain further insight into the charity’s work before carrying out public engagements.
It has been announced that she will make an official visit to another Action on Addiction project, the non-alcoholic Brink bar which treats recovering alcoholics in Liverpool, on February 14.
The remainder of the day will be spent nearby ay the Alder Hey Children’s Hospital.
A Royal source said that the Duchess had spent yesterday at Clouds House, a treatment clinic situated next to Action on Addiction’s head office in East Knoyle, near Salisbury.
During the day she met people being treated for various forms of addiction from drug abuse to shopping and spoke with charity staff.
Other ‘under the radar’ trips are set to follow as the Duchess tries to gain an understanding of the charities she has chosen to support.
A spokesperson for St James’s Palace said: ‘The Duchess will continue to use her time to get to know people at the charity.
‘You can’t learn everything there is to know in one day, you have to keep going back to gain an in-depth understanding.’
As revealed by the Mail last month, Kate’s first solo engagement will be a visit to the National Portrait Gallery’s Lucian Freud exhibition next Wednesday followed by an ‘away day’ in Liverpool the following week.
