The Princess of Wales cut a very trendy figure as she checked out the brand-new V&A East Storehouse in London the other day - but one element of her clothing appeared to break the gown code.
Kate, 43, marched for her first engagement of the month - and her first given that returning from the half-term break - in a chic trouser fit by designer Alexander McQueen for the event, in addition to a white scoop-neck top.
For her accessories, the princess chose a trendy belt, Laura Lombardi chain pendant, and a pair of smooth black heels from Prada.
But while Kate looked extremely elegant, technically speaking, she did break an obscure style guideline throughout her check out with her choice of footwear.
'We advise wearing useful clothes and flat shoes,' the V&A East Storehouse's website reads. 'The metal grid flooring is not ideal for stilettos or kitten heels.'
However, the princess appeared completely at ease and masterfully handled the unequal floorings, even while using a pair of difficult heels.
When inquired about Kate's option of shoes, Tristram Hunt, the director of the V&A, told PEOPLE publication: 'She is a professional! She handled that!'
He included: 'She had a super energy. She was really energetic and focused. We last saw her about 2 years earlier.

'She keeps this great passion and interest in imagination and making and style. It was terrific to be able to host her.'
The mother-of-three has made wearing heels look simple throughout the years - even while playing sports, using pumps on grass and going to horse racing events such as Royal Ascot.
In 2012, Kate even wore heels to play a game of hockey and, more just recently in 2022, kicked a football in heels during an engagement with her hubby Prince William.

She even wore her precious shoe in her first images 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 challenges with ease
