The Princess of Wales cut a very
stylish figure as she visited the new V&A East Storehouse in London the other day - however one aspect of her clothing appeared to break the dress code.
Kate, 43, stepped out for her very first engagement of the month - and her very first given that returning from the half-term break - in an elegant trouser match by
designer Alexander McQueen for the occasion, in addition to a white scoop-neck top.
For her devices, the princess went with an elegant belt,
Laura Lombardi chain locket, and a pair of
smooth black heels from Prada.
But while Kate looked exceptionally stylish, technically speaking, she did break an
obscure style rule throughout her visit with her choice of shoes.
'We suggest using
practical clothing and flat shoes,' the V&A
East Storehouse's site reads. 'The metal grid floor covering is not appropriate for stilettos or kitty heels.'
However, the princess appeared completely at ease and masterfully managed the uneven floorings, even while wearing a set of tough heels.
When inquired about Kate's option of shoes, Tristram Hunt, the director of the V&A, informed PEOPLE publication: 'She is a pro! She dealt with that!'
He added: 'She had an extremely energy. She was very energetic and focused. We last saw her about two years back.

'She retains this fantastic enthusiasm and interest in imagination and making and design. It was wonderful to be able to host her.'
The mother-of-three has actually consistently made using heels look simple over the years - even while playing sports, using pumps on grass and going to horse racing occasions such as Royal Ascot.
In 2012, Kate even used heels to play a
video game of hockey and, more just recently in 2022, kicked a football in heels during an engagement with her husband Prince William.
She even used her
cherished shoe in her very first photos 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 deal with any
obstacles with ease
