The Princess of Wales was a vision on Tuesday as she visited V&A East Storehouse, a brand-new cultural destination in east London which highlights the importance of creative opportunity and celebrates the joy found in creative expression.
Kate, 42, sported stunning mermaid waves which tumbled down her back as she stepped out in her best petrol blue Alexander McQueen suit.

It was teamed rather fittingly with a navy and white hat by Philip Treacy – the 'OC 915' style from their SS22 collection worn previously to the 2022 Trooping the Colour parade.
