Only Connect, a crime prevention charity that works with prisoners, former criminals and young people at risk of offending, had invited the royal couple to see their headquarters to learn more about what they do.
At a nearby Only Connect venue, OC Central, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were treated to contemporary dance performances by the group Dance United and had the opportunity to meet those connected to the charity.
During the visit, the Duchess of Cambridge revealed that Prince George is "growing up fast" as she accepted the gift of a personalised babygro from a young ex-offender.
The Duchess was wearing a brown Orla Kiely buttoned-down bird-print dress, which she had previously worn on an engagement at The Art Room in Oxford in February 2012, with brown suede ankle boots and brown tights, while Prince William had on a dark blue suit and purple tie.
During the visit, the royal couple watched workshops being carried out by complementary projects Handmade Alliance, which trains prisoners to produce textiles for British designers, and Bounce Back, which offers training and employment in painting and decorating for offenders at the end of their sentences.
