A princess certainly, but also a young forty-year-old. Kate Middleton was photographed discreetly visiting an optician in Notting Hill to buy a pair of glasses.
In the cinema, the Notting Hill district is known for its ability to bring a world star to a simple travel bookstore. In reality, this district of London has managed to attract a future queen to the local optician's shop. This January 22, Kate Middleton was photographed trying on pairs of glasses in a local boutique before leaving as if nothing had happened in the streets of London.
The photos, published by the Instagam account of the site “Deuxmoi”, show the Princess of Wales dressed in a long dark coat worn over wide gray pants with a checked scarf. As for accessories, Prince William's wife was photographed with a small taupe-colored bag from the Smython brand and wearing the rings that no longer leave her left ring finger, even replacing her imposing engagement ring inherited from Diana.

While no images show Kate trying on frames, the purpose of her visit is easy to guess. Two weeks after celebrating her 43rd birthday, it is indeed very possible that the princess will encounter her first vision problems. If she has never been photographed with glasses on her nose, this is not the case for her husband, Prince William, who is obliged to wear glasses as soon as he gets behind the wheel.

The return to normality after the ordeals
If the images of Kate wandering like any Londoner in the streets of Notting Hill may be surprising, they are in any case a sign of a return to normal for Wales' family. After a particularly trying year 2024 due to the princess's cancer and chemotherapy, 2025 promises to be more carefree skies, the mother of George, Charlotte and Louis having officially announced her remission on January 14.
A relief which is observed in particular in the attitude of Prince William who has multiplied the pleasure outings since this date, ending up at the pub with Aston Villa supporters, participating in table football games or treating himself to a trip to Monaco in order to attend the match between his favorite team and the principality club.
