The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, looked absolutely radiant in an elegant Alexander McQueen dress as she expressed her admiration for the immense sacrifices made by nurses in a heartfelt video message.

Kate appeared perfectly polished in the tailored peplum dress, which she had last worn during her visit to Warsaw back in 2017.

To complement her ensemble, she accessorized with a stunning £9,000 diamond necklace from Asprey.

Recording the video to commemorate the conclusion of Nursing Now, her global three-year campaign aimed at raising the profile of nursing, the Duchess will be joining Prince William in Scotland on the fourth day of his royal tour.

As the Royal Patron of the initiative, Kate acknowledged, “When Nursing Now was launched in 2018, we had no way of knowing just how much the work, dedication, and infinite care of nurses would be tested, needed, and appreciated.”

The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has brought to light the vital role that nurses play, upon which we all rely.

Their extraordinary efforts become even more remarkable when we consider the immense sacrifices and personal demands placed upon them during this challenging time.

Kate expressed her gratitude, saying, “It has been the hardest of years, and my heartfelt thanks to you and your colleagues around the world for the incredible work you do every day.”

During the recording, the Duchess opted to re-wear a classic Alexander McQueen peplum dress, although only the top portion was visible on camera.

She tastefully paired it with delicate drop earrings and a dazzling necklace, believed to be a gift from Prince William in celebration of their 10th wedding anniversary this year.

Kate initially launched Nursing Now in 2018 at Guy’s and St Thomas Hospital.

Just recently, she conducted an interview with Harriet Nager, a Ugandan community midwife, for Nursing Times magazine, further amplifying the campaign’s reach.

As the initiative concludes, it serves as an urgent call to governments worldwide to invest in nurses as the backbone of health systems.

Lord Nigel Crisp, the founder of Nursing Now, emphasized the importance of supporting nurses to their fullest potential, stating, “Health services around the world have responded magnificently to the pandemic, but we will not beat COVID-19, stop the next pandemic, or address the skyrocketing rates of diabetes or heart disease unless we help nurses work at their full potential.”
