Kate Middleton shows off new hairdo as she ends maternity leave

Sporting fresh new bangs and a chic houndstooth Ralph Lauren dress, the Duchess of Cambridge arrived at the Anna Freud Centre in North London looking happy and relaxed.

Kate, 33, visited the Anna Freud Center, a charity that helps vulnerable children with mental health issues using holistic methods education and therapeutic support.

It’s no secret the Duchess and Carole Middleton were calling the shots at Anmer Hall, breaking royal protocol, and controlling Prince William’s every move. So, Kate’s choice in a flowing silk dress with a front slit is surprising.

A royal spokesman said: “The Duchess wants to play a part in the open discussion around the emotional and mental well-being of children”.

The 33-year-old royal is officially back from maternity leave after giving birth several months ago to her daughter Princess Charlotte, 4 months!

Parents whose children attend the Anna Freud Centre school are encouraged to join in with aspects of the academic day, and Kate visited one classroom where mothers and fathers were reviewing their children’s behaviour.

Despite making appearances at Wimbledon and the Queen’s birthday celebration, the Duchess has kept a relatively low profile since welcoming Prince George’s little sister on 2 May.

“A longer, sweeping fringe is a great way to experiment without the risk factor of a complete restyle”, he added.

Lana, who now has more than 36,000 Instagram followers, has shared numerous selfies of herself online, causing fans to comment on her mane.

But, if you don’t have that sort of cash lying around, you’ll be pleased to hear that you can get Kate’s look with this very similar under £40 Zara number… The Hollywood Gossip reported that Carole is trying to convince Kate Middleton to keep having children, even though she has endured two hard pregnancies already.
