Kate Middleton Is Back From Maternity Leave With a Fresh Haircut

The Duchess of Cambridge is back!

On Tuesday morning, Kate Middleton farewell to maternity leave and made official return to royal duty. The new mother of three gave birth to her husband Prince Williamthird child and second son, Prince Louis, back in late April and has come out of the spotlight since-save for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's May wedding, Louis' christening and a select few events.

After most recently appearing in public at Wimbledon with her famous husband and sister-in-law, the duchess officially returned to her royal post with a casual engagement catered toward youngsters.

Donning a laid-back Fjällräven green jacket layered over a white coat by Zara and her go-to 14-year-old pair of Penelope Chilvers tassel boots, Middleton was dressed for a day outside with kids in London. The royal also appeared to be sporting a fresh trim as her hair slightly shorter.

She visited the Croft Trust Forest School Sayers and Wildlife Garden, which is aimed at involving the local community in the environment.

At one point, Middleton sat down with a group of St. Stephen's School children for story time. The book of choice? Monkey Queen!

The duchess showed off her green thumbs up and helped them fill their watering buckets. It seems the mother of three, with 7-month-old Romi, who is reminded of her youngest child. "He's very chatty, he's almost the same age as my little boy," she was quoted as saying.

The royal was also showered with tokens of appreciation, including flowers that were presented to him from a 4-year-old Lanwe.

It seems like it was a very sweet day back at work.
