The Duchess of Cambridge returns from maternity leave with a new haircut

The Duchess of Cambridge made a fashionable return from maternity leave Tuesday afternoon with a trip to Sayers Croft Forest School and Wildlife Garden in the Westminster borough of London.

For her first royal engagement since welcoming Prince Louis on April 23rd, Kate dressed for the great outdoors in her go-to Zara jeans and trusty Penelope Chilvers boots. The 36-year-old finished the autumn-ready look with a khaki jacket and matching sweater.

Royal correspondent Rebecca English noted that the duchess has a new hairdo.

She also pointed out that Kate’s skin appeared bronzer than usual. This follows reports that she recently went on vacation with husband Prince William and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

The London-based charity project encourages inner-city children with a physical, social, or financial disadvantage to take part in outdoor learning exercises.
