Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visit young offenders charity

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visit Only Connect to learn how the charity supports ex-offenders and young people at risk of offending, before watching a dance performance at a nearby project venue 2:18PM GMT 19 Nov 2013

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.

William and Kate to visit young offenders charity leaving Prince George with babysitters

Out and about: Kate and William selling poppies recentlyIan Vogler

Prince William and wife Kate will leave Prince George with babysitters today as they step out in support of young offenders.

The couple will spend this morning meeting staff and young people working with crime prevention charity Only Connect.

The visit is one of Kate's select few engagements before Christmas as she focuses on being a mum to four-month-old George.

In a trip that will thrust the work of the charity into the spotlight, she and William will look round Only Connect's central London head office and also watch a dance performance.

The organisation reaches 10,000 young people every year and their projects have been shown to reduce re-offending by half.

Helping former offenders is a cause close to William's heart.

He is patron of the St Giles Trust which helps ex prisoners get back on their feet and he visited their Camberwell offices earlier this month.

Kate, 31, will carry out a handful of engagements before Christmas as she focuses on being a hands-on mum to baby George.

Tomorrow she will make a solo visit to a forum in central London for her children's counselling charity Place2Be, which she became patron of in April.

William, however, has scaled up his royal duties since leaving the armed forces in September.

He has carried out several solo engagements in the past two months and also stepped in for the Queen at two investitures.
