The flight from London to Copenhagen, Denmark, where Kate will spend two days later this month, will take only an hour and a half. But it is not the distance that makes this trip, which Duchess Kate will fly solo, such a big step for her. It is that she is going. [According to Express UK, the trip is "fact-finding" for Kate, one of her long-held aspirations, and she wants to learn how the country is addressing the issue of early childhood mental and physical health, which Denmark has been praised for in the past.

The news was revealed in a tweet from the Kensington Royal Family's verified account, in which Kate's hands are building a Danish flag out of Legos: "Later this month, I look forward to learning from experts, parents, and practitioners about Denmark's commitment to early childhood education. Denmark is a pioneer in best practices in its approach to early childhood, with a culture that prioritizes the best start in life. Such a culture is a forerunner to Danish best practices in early childhood. c." (The last sentence is Danish for "see you soon.")

No longer should anyone see her as just another married royal official, wife of the prince, or mother of the heir to the throne (although some may still think so) - the fact that Kate is traveling abroad alone means that she herself is a true member of the royal family and an important part of the future of the office It means that she is seen as the face of the firm.

Can you think of a better representative of the future Royal Family?
