In Pictures: Kate becomes patron of nursing charities

PA

The Duchess of Cambridge has visited the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in London.

The visit came as it was announced she has become patron of the college, as well as the Nursing Now campaign that aims to raise the status and profile of nurses around the world.

Kate, who is expecting her third child in April, will later visit St Thomas' Hospital in the capital to officially launch Nursing Now.
