Kate Middleton tapped into her artistic side this morning as she paid a visit to the largest exhibition of Fabergé imperial eggs in a generation.
The Duchess of Cambridge visited the ‘Fabergé in London: Romance to Revolution’ collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Wearing black, wide-legged trousers and a patterned retro-style blouse, the 39-year-old looked effortlessly elegant during the tour.
Her outfit was paired with a black face mask, following the latest change in Covid-19 restrictions in the UK.
As a royal patron of the V&A, the duchess also visited back in May to mark its grand reopening.
It came after the pandemic forced galleries, museums and art attractions to close for months.
The new exhibition, which will be available until May 8, celebrates the craftsmanship of Carl Fabergé, the Russian goldsmith behind the renowned jewellery house.
It opened on November 20 and showcases items lent by Kate’s grandmother-in-law Queen Elizabeth, like the Colonnade Egg, the Basket Of Flowers Egg and the Mosaic Egg.
According to curator Kieran McCarthy, the duchess showed a sophisticated eye for detail during her visit.
This should not be a surprise as she earned an art history degree at St Andrew’s University in Scotland, where she met future husband Prince William.
Mr McCarthy said: ‘That came through over and over again, just “How did they do that? Why does that look like that?”
‘There was a lot of why and wherefore in the discussion, which was very interesting because it takes a sophistication to look beyond seeing the spectacle to actually probe into the details, and that was there.’
He added that the duchess, who is a keen photographer, had been ‘fascinated by the whole subject’.
