Princess Kate is a royal patron for the V&A museum
Princess Kate officially opened the Young V&A in Bethnal Green, ahead of its opening to the public on Saturday 1 July.Princess Kate was asked about her age when she opened The Young V&A - she had the best reaction
During the outing, the royal was asked about her age, and she sweetly replied: "I'm 41, shh don't tell anyone." The mum-of-three later revealed her children "tell me stories all the time" as she heard imaginative tales from youngsters at the reopening where she was shown around the museum's three different galleries.Several children took turns to tell their tales, with Kate responding to one story by saying, "The end. Very good – I'd like to see that," before sharing that her own children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis – tell her stories.
When leaving the museum, Kate said: "I would love to come and do some more storytelling too, I'll bring my kids next time. I've had a really fun time, thank you, keep up the storytelling."Formerly the Museum of Childhood, the Young V&A will open to the public free of charge on July 1 after three years of refurbishment. Opened in 1872 as east London's first museum, the building’s updated features were designed with input from children.
The Princess became the first royal patron of the V&A in 2018, and has carried out several visits to its museums and buildings. Her patronage ties in with her interest in visual, photography and design, while her latest outing links to her focus on the early years and how our experiences in the first five years of our lives shape adulthood.
