Despite her appearances over the Summer, Kate's official return from maternity leave occurred in the beginning of October, when she visited with children at Sayers Croft Forest School in London. The casual outing was the first of many to come as she stepped back into the spotlight attending to her royal duties — and showing off her new slightly shorter haircut.
Around the same time, the new documentary Queen of the World was released with many wondering why Kate wasn't featured prominently. It was revealed that filming took place during her leave, which meant the new mother of three wasn't available to participate.
