Princess Kate won hearts with her meaningful approach in her latest royal engagement ahead of her reunion with the royal family at Trooping the Colours.

On June 10, the Princess of Wales visited the new V&A East Storehouse in Stratford, East London, to learn about art and photography.

As per Kensington Palace, the creative store was built to "open up access to over 600,000 objects, this purpose-designed space brings people closer than ever to the V&A’s remarkable collections."

"From fashion to film, design to performance, every object tells a story of exceptional creativity, craftsmanship and cultural heritage."

The officials at the museum praised the future Queen for her curiosity to learn new things during her visit.

Speaking to Hello! Magazine, V&A Director Dr Tristram Hunt said, "The Princess is really passionate about the objects, whether it was the photography collection, or whether it was the two woven silks by William Morris, the Pre-Raphaelite paintings."

He added that Princess Catherine was really keen on learning about V&A collections and the processes of making.

The Princess of Wales, who is known for her photography skills, also met photographer Sarah Duncan to discuss the iconic image of ballet shoes worn by Alicia Markova.

Dr Tristram shared, "It was so technical, but she asked questions around – what type of camera, what processes and how you do this."

Kate Middleton showcased her complete interest during the conversations at V&A East Storehouse, proving she is ready to support Prince William once he ascends the throne.
