The Duchess of Cambridge picked up a henna tattoo when visiting an artist hub with husband Prince William.
The couple visited the opening of a fire station in Sunderland, England, which has been converted into a space for local artists, People reported. The royals enjoyed performances and conversations and, when an 18-year-old artist asked the Duchess if she’d like a henna tattoo, she happily agreed.
