Kate Middleton Steps Out in London Following Prince William’s Monaco Appearance with Swedish Crown Princess
LONDON – The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, made a surprise public appearance in London on Tuesday, visiting the newly launched V&A East Storehouse—an extension of the Victoria and Albert Museum—marking her first royal engagement since returning from a family half-term break with Prince William and their children.
Kate toured the museum’s behind-the-scenes facilities, gaining insight into how more than 500,000 objects—ranging from fashion and film to visual arts and performance—are archived, conserved, and displayed for public access. The visit aligns with her ongoing support for arts, culture, and education initiatives.
Just days earlier, Kate hosted a meeting at Windsor Castle with staff from her early childhood foundation, highlighting her continued commitment to youth development.
Her appearance follows renewed public attention toward Prince William, who was recently photographed in Monaco with Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden. The Swedish Royal Court released images of the duo attending an official engagement, which received wide media coverage.
Meanwhile, Prince William is set to reunite with other royal family members at Trooping the Colour on Saturday, the annual ceremony marking King Charles III’s official birthday.
Kate’s return to public duties and the royal family’s ongoing engagements reflect a steady pace of activity amid increased international interest in the monarchy.
