The Princess of Wales once again brushed aside royal drama by playfully hiding behind a mask to the delight of excited children during a trip to a nursery.
Kate visited the Foxcubs Nursery in Luton, which is an "outstanding" OFSTED-rated centre run by the Early Years Alliance that has 70 places for local children aged between two and five, to learn about its work supporting the early years development of children as part of her efforts to elevate the importance of early childhood to lifelong outcomes.
As she arrived at the nursery, the Princess remarked how it was a "beautiful day" and how she loves the cold mornings of winter.
