Duke And Duchess of Cambridge Host Charity Dinner

Newlyweds the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have hosted a dinner for the National Memorial Arboretum Appeal.

The Duke, who is a patron of the charity, entertained 120 guests at a black-tie reception in the Picture Gallery at St James’s Palace.

Prince William wants to raise £12 million to turn the Arboretum in Staffordshire into a world-renowned centre for Remembrance.

William said: "For Britons today, and for generations of Britons to come, the example of dedicating one’s life to helping and protecting others and to the service of our Country remains core to our values as a Nation. Nowhere is this lesson better taught than through contemplation of the names inscribed on the memorials in Staffordshire.‪‪

"It is a place of sanctuary for those who come to remember and a place of quiet pride in the selflessness and sacrifice of those who have gone before. It is also a place of education."

Kate will be without her husband for six-weeks when he is posted to the Falklands early next year. There is currently speculation over the Duchess' potential pregnancy.
