The Princess of Wales cut a really stylish figure as she visited the new V&A East Storehouse in London the other day - but one aspect of her clothing appeared to break the gown code.
Kate, 43, marched for her very first engagement of the month - and her first since returning from the half-term break - in a trendy trouser match by designer Alexander McQueen for the event, along with a white scoop-neck top.
For her devices, the princess chose for a trendy belt, Laura Lombardi chain pendant, and a set of sleek black heels from Prada.
But while Kate looked extremely elegant, technically speaking, she did break an obscure design rule throughout her visit with her choice of shoes.
'We advise using practical clothes and flat shoes,' the V&A East Storehouse's site reads. 'The metal grid flooring is not appropriate for stilettos or kitten heels.'

However, the princess appeared completely at ease and masterfully managed the uneven floorings, even while using a set of challenging heels.
When asked about Kate's choice of shoes, Tristram Hunt, the director of the V&A, told PEOPLE publication: 'She is a pro! She handled that!'
He included: 'She had a very energy. She was extremely energetic and focused. We last saw her about two years back.

'She retains this terrific passion and interest in and making and style. It was terrific to be able to host her.'
The mother-of-three has repeatedly made wearing heels look simple for many years - even while playing sports, wearing pumps on grass and going to horse racing occasions such as Royal Ascot.
In 2012, Kate even wore 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 wore her cherished 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 had the ability to manage any challenges with ease
