Photography fan the Duchess of Cambridge was in her element on Wednesday evening when she stepped out to see a vast collection of pictures in a landmark museum.
The royal mother of three – who has published her own sweet pictures of her children – visited the Victoria & Albert museum, not far from her Kensington Palace home, to have a preview of some of the 800,000 images in the new Photography Centre.
