Yay, new photos of Kate Middleton (and William)! Here’s a funny story: you know how Prince William is absolutely terrified of being overshadowed by his soon-to-be wife, so much so though that he and the powers that be within the royal family have encouraged Kate Middleton to be as boring and low-key as possible? Yeah, there are hardly any photos of William from today’s event. There are like 40 photos of Kate, and three of William. I expect that trend to continue, and if William doesn’t come to grips with his bride getting more attention than him, he’s in for years of pain.
Anyway, these are new photos of Kate and Will visiting Blackburn, which is in northwest England. Media outlets are saying this is their last public appearance until the wedding. They first visited the Darwen Aldridge Community Academy, and then they visited Witton Country Park, although it was “pissing rain” as they say in England, so that did seem to put a literal and figurative damper on things.
In other royal wedding news, there are even more details about the guest list! In addition to Elton John, David Furnish, the Beckhams, there will be assorted rich friends of Prince Charles and Carole Middleton’s Mustique yoga instructor (no joke). Kate has made a point to invite people from her home town of Bucklebury, including the local butcher and a shopkeeper. You can read more about it here.
By the way, I don’t know who designed Kate’s navy suit, but I do like it. It’s very conservative yet pretty, and it looks great with her sapphire. I also saw video of Kate poking a dude in the eye with her umbrella – you can kind of see it on this video:
This little girl is my favorite:

They’ve been doing a great job with her styling. She looks wonderful.
Kate looks so pretty. 🙂
She looks so elegant, poised and happy. I’m no a royalist (Irish Republican myself)but I really wish her well. I admire the fact her Mother is the granddaughter of coalminers. Tough genes there!
She looks amazing!
WTH was with those dolls? They look nothing like her.
She is glowing!
She will make a lovely bride…hip hip hurray!
She does have lovely legs, doesn’t she. And this.. “how Prince William is absolutely terrified of being overshadowed by his soon-to-be wife” … I don’t get it. It’s her JOB to be seen and emulated. I think that rumour is crap 🙂
I really love every single piece she’s been wearing lately. It’s classy, it’s elegant, it’s timeless!! Ahhh, I’m in clothes envy. Complete clothes envy. If only I didn’t live on a grad student budget…I’d be buying everything she wears!!
I love her. I don’t think he’s jealous of her at all. He’s DIANA’S SON for goodness sake. Everyone wants to know him, see him. She’s just the new princess and her wedding is impending. Afterward, he’ll be back in the spotlight. Until there’s a baby!!
i don’t understand why he has to freak out about her getting moar attention. if he coveted moar, he should have gotten a partner who makes him look like the prettier one in the relationship. bwahaha…
I don’t know where people got the idea that he’s afraid of being overshadowed. It’s like one person said it on the internet, another repeated it, and thus a new “fact” was born. I’m sure he’s totally fine with it AND expected it.
I think she looks gorgeous here. And that little girl is really cute.
She looks lovely. And happy.
Since when do we take everything we read and hear as fact? I doubt he gives a flip about her getting attention. Such ridiculous amounts of hearsay.
Yeah, I think she’s supposed to shine, that’s sort of her job to be a pretty accessory for him at public events (and bear cute healthy kids but that’s another matter).
I enjoy looking at her pics, she’s pretty and elegant and not haughty or condescending. She’d make a good princess.
She looks great. Very pretty.
Such sensible shoes.
She’s so beautiful! Can’t wait for the wedding!
Ditto devilgirl, junipergreen, Darlene and flourpot! I think the ‘terrified business’ is just a load of ‘shit’.
I bet the Prince is proud that his bride to be is a hit. This just validates that he has made a good choice for his Queen.
I think this is just a case of the press churning the water. They like to build them up so they can tear them down. Jeez..
PS Nice legs!
She is looking well.
She is definitely beautiful and classic, I do not think they will let her make a misstep. However, it is time to STOP losing the weight. I can’t imagine that pressure, but still….
Just like Diana, Kate will outshine the strange, off putting royal gargoyles.
That little girl looks like a (even more) teeny tiny Daniel Radcliffe in a pink dress. ADORABLE!!!
Kate looks nice too.
1) I hate Kate Middleton. 2) William does not love her. Neither does she love him. 3) Oh well, they will be unhappy as hell so I don’t have to be that jealous of Ms Middleton in the end.
she looks lovely!
Still hate the dated black eye liner, but love everything else, even her hair, which I normally hate. She seems thrilled with her life. Good on her.
“Could be a trick”. Who pissed in your cereal? Did you know our personalities become etched on our faces as we age. Play nice.
@Could be a trick. Take your meds, you weirdo.
I WANT that suit.
She’s beautiful and they always look very happy together. I wish them well.
Of course she is going to get attention! she is about to become a princess and I am sure eventually people will go back to William. He will always be Diana’s son
he has had attention before he was down and out the chute. i would think that he should man up and support her since i can’t imagine what life would be like with a camera up my arse 24/7 (jusr figuratively folks).
I suspect William while wary of the pressure it puts on Kate is welcoming the attention being off him.
I was thinking the female usually gets more attention. No-one cares who’s suit the guy’s wearing but there’s so much to talk about with the woman. Obviously a good and bad thing. Then of course there’s Camilla which I suppose can be the exception that proves the rule?
They both look great and happy. Love the suit. She has had a few years practice for this.
She looks lovely but I want to make her a sandwich. She’s disappearing before our very eyes!
She is definitely improving her style and look. Much more mature, pretty, elegant.
i like her. i hope they do well together!
the jealousy factor was part of charles & diana’s story too. it was said that charles hated that diana got all the attention whenever they went out together. so i guess like father like son. i just hope william doesnt use that against kate like i think charles did with diana.
kate looks better with her hair swept back like that rather than down around her face. but i hope they do something about her eye makeup – way too dark.
She’s too skinny now. I don’t like to see women in the spotlight pressured to starve themselves like that. Also, her teeth are too white (color is too artificial) and her face too orange. Somebody should tell her to relax and stop trying so hard to be some kind of fashionista/celebrity. It’s aging her terribly.
Honestly she looks great, and she has all eyes on her now
But I always thought she’s somehow boring… Don’t know how to explain, just… meh
She looks lovely but I wish she would put a little weight back on, cut her hair and fix the eye makeup. The suit is perfect. Who is William? Who cares? This is the Kate show.
Why do you think ‘Prince William is absolutely terrified of being overshadowed by his soon-to-be wife’
Are you him?
Funny .
She looks beautiful … what amazing legs! WOW! Skip the under-the-eye eyeliner and I think she would be absolutely perfect! Can’t wait to see the wedding!
She’s very pretty but I hope she doesn’t lose any more weight.
She looks like she’s in her forties. I wish she’d stop losing weight – many people think thin is beautiful, but it can also make you look much older than you are, and unfortunately for Kate, she’s one of them. (But then, William looks older than he is too, I’m not just picking on women).
Kate is a very average looking woman – she’s somewhat pretty, but not especially so. There’s nothing wrong with that, and I don’t know why she tries to be more than she is. Maybe it’s because Diana was such a fashion plate that it became the general rule all princesses had to fit that role. But Kate doesn’t seem to fit that role very well. She should stick to being herself – middling intelligent, pretty, and pleasant – rather than try to be another Diana.
Dainty steps Kate!! Those hearty strides show too much leg and do not befit a Princess!
I’m really warming to her, she always looks so good in photos, and her dress sense is great. Sticks in my throat actually, I didn’t think I would.
Luckliy, her mannerisims still annoy me in video.
I love her hair styling – she always has immaculately groomed and shiny hair. Her hairdresser should be paid in pure gold!
Also – does anybody know the designer for her clutch handbag in the pics above? I so want one!!
ugly goldigger ughh for th start she looks like a 90 year old lady with her horrible wrinkles and people think she has this glamorous fashion sense but what they dont realise is that people pick out dresses for that UGLY CREATURE and i am not saying all this because i am jealous if you think there is noyjing to be jealous of in fact i feel sorry for that poor ugly creatureshe looks more like a 90 old with her wrinkles and dimples ugh get her botox or something i feel like puking ughh
