Earlier this month, the Duchess of Cambridge took part in a phone call with Lynda Sneddon and her daughter 5 year-old Mila, a cancer patient who featured in an image from the Hold Still photography project which showed her kissing her father Scott through a window whilst she was shielding during her chemotherapy treatment. Mila's photo was included in the Duchess' book, Hold Still.
During the call, the Duchess made a promise to the little girl that she would wear a pink dress when they were able to get together. On Thursday May 27, the Duchess and Mila got together at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, Scotland. The Duchess wore a pink silk shirt dress from ME+EM to keep her promise.

Bravo for The Duchess for keeping her promise and taking her time to make the visit. She looks great in pink. I admire her more and more.
ReplyDeleteAnd its good to see Mila look so happy. Brave little girl. Its so unfair that the cancer cause so much suffering and loss. I hope Mila will beat the cancer and will completely recover.

Quelle magnifique robe-chemisier très légèrement asymétrique au joli boutonnage dont le subtil dégradé de couleur rose la flatte beaucoup ; la petite-fille est adorable toute vêtue de rose pale jusque dans les chaussures où nous voyons des socquettes blanches avec un délicat revers à dentelle ; craquante avec son petit diadème de princesse dans ses boucles !
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYes, Duchess Catherine looks beautiful here, fantastic dress. But this engagement is the best. It brings happy tears. Little Mila is beyond cute, and you can see the joy this brings her, just eminates from the page. Catherine takes such care with children, very genuine. There was a previous picture of Mila playing on the piano there that was a highlight:)

Chel, I agree completely. Well done, Catherine.
DeleteThis beautiful and brave little girl brings tears to my eyes. And how wonderfull that Catherine met her, wearing the pink dress!
ReplyDeleteThe moment I saw the pink dress I knew what this was. She looks wonderful. Kate went all out! That promise to Mila was some of the best medicine she could ever have. Mila looks so joyful and healthy! We can all say cancer has touched our lives in some way, but when it is a child...Beautiful Kate, beautiful Mila. ~d
ReplyDeleteCompletely agree. The color of Kate's dress immediately made me think of Sleeping Beauty. The perfect shade of pink for a princess dress. Mila looks like she's having a fantastic time.

What a beautiful, strong and brave girl! Love her princessy dress with the glitters; together with the lace on the socks and pink shiny shoes it's an adorable look. Love it. Perfect for meeting a princess! (Yes, I know, Kate is a duchess but still very royal 😉)
ReplyDeleteKate looks nice, I admire her visiting this girl from her project. The colour of the dress looks very good on her hair and skin, but I don't like the cut. Buttoned skirts and dresses are very trendy for a while now, but I guess I'm still not really liking it.
I love the pictures of her sitting and listening while her hair falls in waves over her shoulder. She's beautiful.
O and to add: Mila is even wearing a crown/ tiara. So adorable!

DeleteYes, Mila is precious indeed.

A heartwarming moment from this royal tour which will be remembered for years to come, by this little girl, her family, Kate and those of us royal watchers around the world.
ReplyDeleteThis pink dress is absolutely lovely. I'm not usually a fan of pink, but even my green loving heart can be tickled pink by the meaning behind this sartorial choice. Not only comfortable, but appropriate as well.
Most importantly, Kate helped this child find joy and hope, which they celebrated together here.

The best moment, the most touching.
ReplyDeleteMila, you are a sweet beautiful little warrior and I pray you can recover soon.
Bravo, Catherine.

What a precious memory Catherine has achieved for little Mila ! I love that she gave Mila a trinket box, with an inscription! Something I'm sure Mila will cherish! Ana
ReplyDeleteIt’s certainly a nice choice for her meeting with this little girl. The pretty printed mask is a good complement too. (V.M.)
ReplyDeleteBrought tears to my eyes. Mia is a brave girl. What a fantastic thing Kate has done by making Mia's dream come true of meeting Kate . All little princesses deserve this. Both are pretty in pink. I like both dresses on both girls. This time I have to say Kate & Princess Mia you are both gems.
ReplyDeleteThe little girl is the star. We can only imagine how much pain she and other kids had to overcome while fighting cancer and painful therapies. And yet she is laughing again as if this never happened to her. Bravo!!!
ReplyDelete(She will never forget her meeting with the beautiful "Princess" Catherine, I'm sure:) Well done and blessings.

DeleteI agree with your beautiful comment.

If you can find the video, where Mila’s Mum tells her she will meet the Duchess at the Palace, do watch it. I’m not especially sentimental but it brought a tear to my eye. What a genuinely nice person Catherine is. The dress is a bit too pink for me, but definitely suits her colouring. Mila is, of course, a perfect Princess. Wishing her health in the future
ReplyDeleteIt’s on the.Cambridges Twitter
DeleteThe colour perfectly compliments the Duchess of Cambridge but there is something that doesn't completely make me love this dress. And it is absolutely fantastic that Catherine honoured her promise to Mila.

Duchess Catherine looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMila is a beautiful, strong and wonderful girl :)
Amazing meeting.
Mila is so adorable, I wish her all the best, may she always be healthy.
ReplyDeleteI don't really like the pink dress, it's just a huge expanse of fabric, when she sits, the thing practically covers her toes, for heaven's sake. Being tall and slender, Kate can pull off anything, even this dress, but to me it still looks a bit frumpy, matronly and boring. I am sure Milla would have appreciated something princess-y more, preferably, with sparkles, glitter, frills and lace.
Mila looks like a little princess; I like her ballet shoes. Kate looks bright and cheery; pretty in pink.
