Kate Middleton, in her favorite dress, plays bingo with nursing home residents.

Kate Middleton and Prince William have been busy on Zoom during the coronavirus outbreak. The latest example: the Cambridges surprised residents and staff at a nursing home in Cardiff, Wales, by appearing on camera to take part in a game of bingo.

Kate and William played the role of bingo callers at the game at Shire Hall Care Home in Cardiff and personally congratulated the winner, a resident named Joan. They read out the nicknames for each number (e.g., "1 and 7, Dancing Queen") and got into the game. William asked the winner, Joan, "How was bingo? William asked Joan, the victor, and she deftly cut him off: "Yes, it was very good. Yes, it was very good. Joan

In a longer clip shared on the Royal Family YouTube page, William spoke to the nursing home staff and asked how they are protecting their mental health while working through the pandemic." When one caregiver replied, "The morale at the home is great," William replied, "I've never known Welsh people not to know how to have fun.

Kate re-dressed for the occasion in an old favorite: the L.K. Bennett Madison dress, as spotted by royal style tracker Kate's Closet (opens in new tab). She even completed the look with some old favorite gold fern earrings from London brand Catherine Zoraida (opens in new tab).

Kate has worn L.K. Bennett dresses at least twice before (opens in new tab) - at a polo match in July 2019 and as a judge at the BBC's Blue Peter Royal Garden contest (plus, she has purple too):

Unfortunately, the dress is several years old and is no longer available for purchase. The good news is that many similar styles are still available from L.K. Bennett, one of Kate's favorite brands. Check out similar pieces below:

These two are on sale, both under $350:
