The Princess of Wales cut a really fashionable figure as she visited the brand-new V&A East Storehouse in London yesterday - but one aspect of her clothing appeared to break the gown code.

Kate, 43, stepped out for her first engagement of the month - and her very first considering that returning from the half-term break - in a trendy trouser fit by designer Alexander McQueen for the event, along with a white scoop-neck top.

For her devices, the princess went with a trendy belt, Laura Lombardi chain locket, and a set of streamlined black heels from Prada.

But while Kate looked extremely classy, technically speaking, she did break an obscure design guideline during her see with her option of shoes.

'We advise wearing useful clothing and flat shoes,' the V&A East Storehouse's site reads. 'The metal grid flooring is not for stilettos or kitten heels.'

However, the princess appeared entirely at ease and masterfully handled the uneven floorings, even while using a pair of difficult heels.

When asked about Kate's option of footwear, Tristram Hunt, the director of the V&A, told PEOPLE magazine: 'She is a pro! She handled that!'

He included: 'She had a super energy. She was extremely energetic and focused. We last saw her about two years back.

'She retains this fantastic passion and interest in imagination and making and style. It was terrific to be able to host her.'

The mother-of-three has actually consistently made using heels look easy over the years - even while playing sports, using pumps on lawn and going to horse racing events such as Royal Ascot.

In 2012, Kate even wore heels to play a video game of hockey and, more recently in 2022, kicked a football in heels during an engagement with her partner Prince William.

She even wore her precious shoe in her very first pictures with Prince Louis in 2018 as she stepped outside the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital.

Depsite misgivings, the princess was such a 'pro' in her heels that she was able to manage any challenges with ease
