Sliding in style! The  Duchess of Cambridge  left her pumps on as she went down a slide during her visit to the LEGO Foundation PlayLab in Copenhagen. “In the spirit of where I am, I had to do that,” Kate said with a laugh after emerging from the slide.

The royal mom of three appeared to pay tribute to Denmark wearing a red blazer, which she teamed with black trousers, a white blouse and black pumps for the outing on Tuesday.

The Duchess, who launched The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood last year, arrived in Copenhagen on Feb. 22 to learn more about Denmark’s approach to early childhood development.

Kate is set to reunite with Crown Princess Mary of Denmark during her two-day working visit. The Danish Royal House previously revealed that the Crown Princess will receive the British royal at Christian IX’s Palace with Queen Margrethe II on Wednesday. Following the reception, Mary will host a private luncheon for the Duchess at Frederik VIII’s Palace, and they will also visit a crisis shelter for women together.

Weeks before her trip, Kate shared a personal message on social media that read: “Looking forward to learning from experts, parents and practitioners about Denmark’s approach to early childhood later this month. Denmark is a beacon of best practice in its approach to the early years which values the roles of parents and results in both communities of support and government policies that underpin the best start in life.”
