During the visit, the mother-of-three heard more about Fabergé’s work and the relatively unknown Anglo-Russian nature of his enterprise, with his only branch outside of Russia opening in London in 1903.
This exhibition includes the most extensive display of his famous Imperial Easter Eggs, many of which will be shown for the first-time in the UK.

Mother-of-three chose to wear a soft smokey brow for her outing at London’s museum this morning (pictured).
This includes the Third Imperial Egg which was found by a scrapper in 2011, after going missing in 1964. The largest Imperial Egg is the Moscow Kremlin Egg. Inspired by Moscow’s architecture, it features a musicbox that plays the favourite hymn of Tsar Nicholas II. Also, there is an Alexander Palace Egg with a model inside.
This collection includes 3 items that Her Majesty, The Queen, lent, such as the Colonnade Egg (Baket of Flowers Egg), the Mosaic Egg, and the Basket of Flowers Egg.
The V&A is the world’s leading museum of art, design and performance, with collections unrivalled in their scope and diversity.
The foundation was founded in 1852 with the purpose of making works of art accessible to everyone and inspiring British designers and producers.
Today, the V&A’s collections, which span over 5000 years of human creativity in virtually every medium and from many parts of the world, continue to intrigue, inspire and inform.
The Duchess became the first Royal Patron of the V&A in March 2018 and visited earlier this year when the museum reopened after lockdown.
As Kate gets ready to host the next Christmas carol ceremony at Westminster Abbey, it comes just as she is preparing for the celebration of the ‘incredible works’ of pandemic heros.
The Duchess shared a picture of invitations she sent to friends, volunteers and teachers earlier this week ahead of Wednesday’s event.
This special program will broadcast the service on ITV, and will also feature music performances by mysterious guests.
According to reports, Prince William and Kate dropped the BBC from their Christmas special following the series The Princes and the Press. This was in response to criticisms by the Queen and Prince Charles, as well as the Duke and Duchess, for lending credibility for ‘overblown and unverified claims’ regarding the Royal Family.
A source within the industry said last week that although it had been all set up to broadcast on BBC1, the program was moved in the days following a terrible dispute over the documentary.
“And things are likely get worse between the Royal Family, the BBC before it gets better. The second part of this documentary threatens further.
In the second half of the documentary, Meghan Markle’s lawyer made a bizarre technical denial that the Duchess ever bullied employees. Before insisting, ‘but, she wouldn’t want to negate any individual experiences.
It was also reported that people with connections to the Sussexes or Cambridges were briefed on the other.
Kensington Palace refused to comment.
Kate will be sure to forget any grumblings about the documentary before the next week’s carol service.
While the exact order of service has yet to be revealed, today’s announcement said that it will be an event that combines traditional elements with modern and inclusive aspects in order to embrace people from all religions.
Today, the Duchess and Duke of Cambridge posted about their carol service to Instagram. They wrote that they were celebrating the extraordinary work of people and organizations across the nation who support their communities.
“Next week, The Dukess of Cambridge will host a Christmas Carol Service at Westminster Abbey. This service is supported by The Royal Foundation and brings together many inspirational people.
The service will air in December.
The Royal Foundation supports the event. It will gather inspirational people from all over the UK who gave their best to help and protect the vulnerable during the pandemic.
This will be a gathering for guests with more vulnerability or isolation, as well as people who are recently grieving or without their homes.
ITV has won a huge coup with the Christmas special, which is often left out of royal content by BBC.

Speaking about the decision to drop the BBC for the Christmas concert, a TV industry source told the Sun: ‘It is a brand new format — the royals have never hosted a televised TV concert before. The Duchess is also a major player in the event.
“Naturally most royal programming automatically goes to the BBC as national broadcaster. They will likely work with ITV more in the future.
According to the source, ITV was surprised but pleased by ITV’s sudden plan change. He added that it would be an amazing Christmas carol concert and TV gold for home viewers.
