Catherine, attending the official visit without Prince William, viewed an exhibit alongside director of the Natural History Museum Doctor Michael Dixon and special collections manager Judith Magee, before giving a brief speech at the event.

The Duchess said: "The Natural History Museum has a very special place in the heart of this nation. William and I are just two of millions of people who have passed through these doors, and marvelled at the spectacular wonders of the natural world, housed in this beautiful gallery."
