The Duchess of Cambridge wore a pair of rose-colored trousers while meeting with families in London's Battersea Park on Tuesday.

Kate Middleton's $38 (£29.50) pants are from British brand Marks & Spencer. While the exact pair is no longer available for purchase on the brand's website, Marks & Spencer sells a similar pair that retails for $42.50 at the time of writing.

Middleton paired the pants with a white top and matching white sneakers.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge shared a video of Tuesday's event on their official Instagram page.

"The Duchess of Cambridge spent today hearing about the importance of parent-powered support programmes," the post's caption read.

The Duchess of Cambridge spent today hearing about the importance of parent-powered support programmes. Following a videocall with experts in the field, The Duchess headed to Battersea Park in London to hear from parents and peer supporters directly about their experiences of parent-to-parent support. Across the UK there are many thousands of parents who use their time, experience and knowledge to support other parents and families. This morning Her Royal Highness spoke with representatives and volunteers from different organisations who run peer-to-peer support programmes about their services and the impact that COVID-19 is having on families across the country, including: • @homestartuk Parents 1st UK Island House Charity Community Parent Programme @blackpoolbetterstart @nctcharity Applied Research Collaboration North West coast Coram Family and Childcare @leedsdads • Peer supporters can provide valuable help in supporting parents’ emotional wellbeing, which is particularly important given that maternal mental health issues affect at least 1 in 10 women during pregnancy or early parenthood.

Middleton spoke with volunteers from organizations including Home-Start and Parents 1st, which run peer-to-peer programs to provide support to families in London and across the UK.

The duchess met with organizations' representatives "about their services and the impact that COVID-19 is having on families across the country," according to the Instagram post. Middleton also talked with parents about how they have looked to nonprofits for support during the coronavirus pandemic.

The duchess was previously spotted wearing the same pair of pink trousers while visiting hospital staff in London's Croydon neighborhood in March. She initially wore the pants with a matching rose-hued blazer, which was also from Marks & Spencer, according to People.

Kensington Royal posted a photo of Middleton and Prince William at the hospital on March 20.

Catherine and I were proud to visit staff working at NHS 111, to pass on our personal thanks, along with those of my grandmother and father, to staff working around the clock to provide care and advice to those that need it most. • The last few weeks, and more recent days have been understandably concerning with the continuing spread of coronavirus. • But it’s at times like this when we realise just how much the NHS represents the very best of our country and society – people from all backgrounds and walks of life with different experiences and skills, pulling together for the common good. • Not only are NHS staff and emergency workers responding to the needs of the public, they – like the rest of us – are concerned about their families, friends and loved ones. • They need our support as much as we need theirs. • All of us have a part to play if we’re going to protect the most vulnerable. • That means acting on the latest expert advice, staying home if we or those we live with have symptoms, and avoiding non-essential contact to help reduce the spread of the virus. • — The Duke of Cambridge

It's not the first time Middleton has recycled her clothing pieces.

In 2016, she wore a blue floral L.K Bennet dress that she was first pictured wearing in 2014.

She also rewore a bright-red Luisa Spagnoli skirt suit in 2011, 2014, and 2017.

Representatives for the Duchess of Cambridge and Marks & Spencer, respectively, did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
