The Duchess is married to Prince Edward, the Duke of Edinburgh, who visited The Branch Trust in Chipping Norton in February.
During the visit, arranged by the office of the Lord-Lieutenant of Oxfordshire, His Royal Highness explored how The Branch Trust is addressing “critical service gaps” in west Oxfordshire, where 61 per cent of residents live in rural areas and often struggle to access essential support services.
At the end of the visit Prince Edward unveiled a plaque to commemorate his visit.
He said: “Thank you for inviting me to come and visit The Branch and see the amazing project you’ve managed to bring to fruition.”
He said the “sheer number of people” the organisation has engaged with shows that the service is “much desired”.
“I will try and make this look as slick and as professional as possible,” he said before unveiling the plaque, which was met by roars of laughter from the crowd.
He added: “This is about you, this plaque. It’s a big thank you to all that you do every day.”
In October, Oxfordshire welcomed Prince William, Princess Kate and Princess Anne in one week.

Volunteers and families at Home-Start Oxford at Rose Hill Community Centre hosted Catherine for a training session for a chance to mix with the children and parents.
