The Queen and Kate Middleton to team up for first joint engagement in seven years at King's College London

TODAY Kate Middleton will join the Queen on a rare joint engagement – seven years after their last solo outing.

The Duchess of Cambridge will join the monarch at Kings College London where they are set to reopen the newly renovated Grade II listed Bush House.

The royal pair will be shown new education and learning facilities on the Strand Campus.

Before her royal visit with her grandmother-in-law, Kate will visit the Foundling Museum, which tells the history behind the Foundling Hospital – the UK's first Children's charity and public art gallery.

Kate, 37, and the Queen, 92, have of course attended plenty of occasions together over the past seven years but this will be their first solo outing together since March 2012.

At the time, just 11 months after she married Prince William, Kate joined the Queen in Leicester as part of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee tour of the UK.

The upcoming engagement on March 19 will see Kate accompany Her Majesty as she reopens Bush House – formerly the home of BBC World Service and now being leased by Kings of which the Queen is patron.

She visited back in 2012 to open Somerset House East Wing alongside Prince Philip while Kate was last there in 2018 to see the work being done to support new mothers at the Maurice Wohl Clinical Neuroscience Institute.
