Kate and William join students and teachers in lesson

Duchess Kate and Prince William paid a visit to Holy Trinity Church of England First School in Berwick-upon-Tweed. As People reports, they joined students and staff in a holiday-themed outdoor lesson. "It's freezing!" William remarked, despite being bundled up in his jacket and scarf.

While Kate and William could be seen enjoying themselves during the festive activity, there was also an important reason behind their visit! That's because as People shares, the royal couple wanted to have the opportunity to personally commend teachers for their efforts during the coronavirus pandemic.
