It’s back to work for the Duchess of Cambridge – and her new hair

Catherine returns to the spotlight for her first solo appearance since giving birth to Princess Charlotte in May.

When the Duchess of Cambridge made her return to life as a working mum overnight, she made sure it was for a cause close to her heart.

On her arrival at the Anna Freud Centre – a child mental-health research, training and charity facility in London – the 33-year-old made a beeline to speak to the kids at the centre.

Kate’s love of children is evident at charity events.

While the 33-year-old mum of two didn’t speak publicly, sources say she’s keen to work with the centre to “emphasise early intervention”.

Her work with the Anna Freud Centre joins a long list of child-based charities the Duchess lends her support to.

Whilst she didn’t speak publicly, Kate was happy to get hands on.

Of course, when Kate’s involved, talk always turns to what she’s wearing – and her glossy new hairstyle certainly turned heads.

As Woman’s Day has reported, the last time she had bangs cut into her hair, she was pregnant with Prince George , now two.

With Kate being in “hiding” for more than eight weeks, many were beginning to speculate whether she could already be pregnant with her third child – but if she is, her Ralph Lauren shirt dress, which sells for $2700 and is described on the website as “supremely flattering”, skimmed over any sign of a baby bump.

The Duchess and a young student listen on.

The Duchess has a busy few weeks ahead, starting today, when she is expected to attend the Rugby World Cup opener with her husband Prince William and brother-in-law Prince Harry.
