Princess Kate will carry out a royal engagement in Kent on Thursday, the first pubic appearance made by a royal in the region since the death of the Duchess of Kent.
The Princess of Wales will visit Marina Mill in Cuxton, Kent, a family business that specialises in hand designing and screen- printing furnishing fabrics.
Marina Mill was established in 1967 and is known for its artisan craftsmanship throughout the production process, from hand-drawing all the artwork in their studio to screen-printing the designs entirely by hand.
During her visit, the royal will spend time with Design Director, Tandine Rawkins, and observe how she free-hand sketches all the artwork for every design, which are then developed into repeating patterns, before they are engraved on silk screens

The Duchess of Kent was the oldest living member of the Royal Family after the death of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022.
She married Prince Edward, Queen Elizabeth II's cousin, in 1961 in a grand ceremony at York Minster - the first royal wedding there in over 600 years.
Katherine became the first senior member of the Royal Family to publicly convert to Catholicism since the Act of Settlement, which bars Catholics from the line of succession.
She converted with Queen Elizabeth's permission, who saw it as a personal matter of faith.
