She is due to meet clients of the charity working as apprentices under Spring’s Michelin-star winning chef Skye Gyngell, and who will be part of the team cooking the evening meal.

Action on Addiction works across addiction research and treatment, as well offering family support and professional education.
It helps not only those touched by substance abuse, but also by addiction to gambling and other behaviours.
The charity said Addiction Awareness Week, which runs from June 10-16, aims to raise public awareness about the issues surrounding addiction and to engage with people and families affected.
It also aims to lift the stigma attached to addiction, the charity said. Kate’s experience with the charity is helping inform her wider work in mental health and also in developing a major project to help children in their earliest years, Kensington Palace said.
