The scientific hub is dedicated to the study of the UK’s natural world, particularly the wildlife. It also “helps public visitors identify their finds, provides vital training in wildlife identification and leads research and citizen science projects that are helping to transform our understanding of the more than 80,000 species of wildlife known to exist in the UK today.”

Kate Middleton, who is a patron of the museum since 2013, met with the museum staff to learn about its campaigning efforts and groundbreaking research to protect UK wildlife.

The Duchess explored the museum as well. She examined some of the museum’s collection of British insect and plant specimens and even got to watch DNA sequencing in action.

For her visit, the mother-of-three embraced fall season’s biggest trends in high-street glam fashion. She went for autumnal colors, teaming a berry-colored high-neck top from Warehouse with olive green wide-legged culottes from Jigsaw.
