Meanwhile, at the park, Kate was told how peer groups struggled to meet up during Covid-19 lockdown and how important access to outside space is to their health and wellbeing.
She went on to chat with parents helped by Home-Start, National Childbirth Trust and MUSH.
A key part of many peer support networks is the ability to meet up and spend time together, which has been affected by COVID-19.
Her visit today comes after she joined Prince William to highlight how communities have coped during Covid-19 in London last week.
The Duke and Duchess travelled to London Bridge and Whitechapel last week, where they celebrated the traditions of London’s East End by making Jewish bagel snacks and meeting with Muslim volunteers supporting the community during the coronavirus outbreak.
The couple, who had not appeared together in public since July, appeared relaxed during the outing, and were said to be keen to shine a light on individuals and businesses who have gone above and beyond to help others during the pandemic.
