Princess Kate’s Latest Royal Outing Is a Tribute to One of Her Biggest Passions

People

Kate Middleton is championing the joy of creativity — and the transformative power of art. The Princess of Wales, 43, stepped out in East London on June 10 to visit the new V&A East Storehouse, a branch of the Victoria and Albert Museum that offers unprecedented public access to more than 500,000 objects spanning fashion, film, visual art, design and performance. It marked her first public royal engagement since returning from a half-term break with her three children — Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 10 and Prince Louis, 7 — and came just days after she hosted a meeting at Windsor Castle with staff from her early childhood foundation.
