Kate Middleton<\/a><\/strong>\u2018s recently concluded solo royal tour to Italy was marked by a warm reception, with fans turning out in large numbers to greet her. However, the mother of three committed a \u201cfaux pas\u201d during an outdoor interaction with a child, several weeks after her mother-in-law Queen Camilla<\/a> made the same blunder.<\/p>\n Although the trip was widely seen as a success, royal experts have suggested that engagements like this may become less frequent in the future, as Kate is expected to continue prioritizing her family and health over royal duties.<\/p>\n Princess Kate hit the ground running on the first day of her solo working trip to Italy last week.<\/p>\n She visited Reggio Emilia in northern Italy to promote her early years work around childhood development and learn more about the renowned \u201cReggio Emilia Approach\u201d to early childhood education.<\/p>\n The Princess of Wales wore a blue power suit and waved warmly to fans upon her arrival at Piazza Camillo Prampolini, per Hello Magazine<\/a>. She also made an impression by speaking \u201cperfect\u201d Italian with some of the children who had gathered to greet her.<\/p>\n Still outside in the square, Kate appeared to be in great spirits as she met with the Mayor of Reggio Emilia, Marco Massari, and was introduced to Salvatore Angieri, Prefect of Reggio Emilia, before making her way inside.<\/p>\n However, the Princess of Wales appeared to commit a subtle \u201cfaux pas\u201d that royal watchers were quick to link to a similar moment<\/a> involving Queen Camilla just two weeks earlier.<\/p>\n While bending down to speak to a child outside Reggio Emilia Town Hall, Kate placed her brand-new bag on the bare ground, most likely so she could gesture freely while interacting with the children.<\/p>\n However, many etiquette experts consider the move a social blunder. The moment also stood out because of the accessory\u2019s pricey nature, which reportedly retails for over \u00a33,000 (about $4,054).<\/p>\n Kate appeared to correct the misstep later in the afternoon during a visit to the Loris Malaguzzi International Center, where her assistant held on to the bag behind her.<\/p>\nKate Made A Royal Misstep In Italy<\/h2>\n
