Kate has been dazzling crowds at important events for charity with the Duke of Cambridge by her side, but she is carrying out some solo obligations more quietly, and with a four-legged companion by her side.
On Wednesday, for example, The Duchess went on a scouting expedition, taking her cocker spaniel puppy Lupo in William’s place.
“Kate has been quietly working with the Scouts Association, managing games and activities with the cubs,” reports PEOPLE.
“Some of the lucky scouts got to walk Lupo and hold his lead, but when the puppy was alone with Kate, he was free to go off-leash, his ears flopping in the wind.”
The Scout Association is one of four organizations the Duchess is a patron of.
