The beaming Princess of Wales put her best fashion foot forward in her first royal engagement of the month.

IN LONDON

Kate has dazzled onlookers with her chic look during her first outing of the month in London.

The Princess of Wales, 43, had a private two-hour tour of the new V&A East Storehouse in the city’s east, which offers unprecedented free public access to the museum’s world-famous collection of hundreds of thousands of pieces relating to fashion, film, visual art and performance.

It opened its doors just two weeks ago.

Kate opted to rewear a stunning blue trouser suit by Alexander McQueen for the occasion, which she paired with a white top and matching stiletto heels.

Her hair, which she recently had lightened with blonder shades, was worn out in loose waves.

Kate, who has a degree in arts history, stayed on at the venue for an extra half-hour after becoming engrossed in the displays.

The princess’ last public engagement was in Glasgow on May 22, where she attended a ship-naming ceremony, and she is expected to join Prince William and their three children – Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7 – at the Trooping the Colour in London on Saturday.

While Kate has increased her workload since announcing she had finished her chemotherapy treatment last September, it’s been regularly stressed by Palace aides that the “cadence” of her public engagements will continue to be slow and measured.
