“WCK is first on the front lines, providing meals in response to the humanitarian, climate and societal crisis. They are building resilient diets with locally led solutions. Most recently, they have provided support in Ovaldi, Texas and Ukraine,” according to the spokesperson, who said the organization is “especially close to their hearts.” “.

“Close family friend and guest Maysan Harriman, who attended this special Lillipet Day with his wife and children, captured the candid and spontaneous photo that the Duke and Duchess are delighted to share today,” the spokesperson said.
Lillipet was named after her grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
