Kate Middleton is truly living up to her late mother-in-law's moniker of being the People's Princess. Yesterday, the young royal made her first solo engagement to the Netherlands, where she spent the day taking in art, chatting with winsome Dutch children and encouraging the youth of today to pursue their dreams. To top it all off, there were reports that the Duchess of Cambridge actually took a commercial flight back to Britain instead of opting for a private jet! People's Princess? Yes, indeed. Here's a full account of what she got up to in the Netherlands.
