Kate Middleton's subtle faux pas in Italy shows where her priorities lie and sets her apart as a modern Princess

Catherine, Princess of Wales visits the Piazza Camillo Prampolini where she is welcomed to the city at Reggio Emilia’s Town Hall.

The Princess of Wales received a hugely warm welcome to Reggio Emilia when she arrived on 13th May and I couldn't help noticing she did something rather interesting. Kate made time to chat to the people lining the streets outside the City Hall and did her signature move of crouching down when she met a group of excited children.

She famously likes to engage with kids at their eye-height, but this time she also popped her pastel blue Asprey London handbag directly on the ground. This is the first time we've seen the Princess wearing this, so it appears to be a new purchase.
