The Prince and Princess of Wales are patrons of NHS Charities, and this week, William and Kate’s social media accounts posted videos from an anniversary celebration for NHS. While these videos were posted on Tuesday, the Fourth of July, this event was not held on Tuesday, I’m absolutely sure. Kate spent much of that day at Wimbledon – it was too quick of a turnaround to get these videos produced and uploaded in a matter of hours. So I can only imagine this event happened over the weekend or maybe Monday.
Hilariously, Kate repeated yet another dress which she originally wore to Wimbledon. That’s been her “thing” in recent weeks – repeating her Wimbledon dresses. She wore this blue-and-white polka-dotted Alessandra Rich dress last year, and I’m just recycling some of those photos in this post. This NHS event was for the 75th anniversary of the founding of the National Health Service, so “NHS cupcakes” were made and they tasked Peg and Buttons with adding piping to a cake. Considering Kate wouldn’t even pull back her hair as she was working on the food, this whole event looks like it probably caused some trips to the emergency room for food poisoning. You can read more about the event here.
Happy 75th Birthday @NHSuk! 🎂
A pleasure to join an extra special @NHSCharities tea party to celebrate just some of the many incredible people that make the NHS what it is!

I actually thought they looked cute at this event. She laughed at his frosting attempt. But yes, I think hair up around food is obvious.
It’s seems like a totally normal event, the kind they should be doing every day. And I don’t have a problem with the hair down, either. It’s just a photo op – and the baker who was standing next to them had her hair down, too.
“It felt like the Royals patrons were ALMOST PART of creating the event” LOL so they had nothing to do with it. Great attempt to be polite and inclusive
there’s a video (they’re talking about if jam or cream should come first) where Kate is talking and William is rolling his eyes! It’s soo hilarious! He doesn’t even try to hide it anymore!
@PrincessOfWaffles – “Almost part of,” lol. At the same time, there were articles saying that W&K hosted the event.
Hair up, gloves and masks are food.
why is she wearing the black ribbon in recent photos?
It’s not a black ribbon, It’s green and purple the colours of Wimbledon. She started wearing this when she became Patron of Wimbledon. I believe officials at Wimbledon wear it as well.
I think it’s purple 🟣 and I have no idea what it means.
@HeyKay The ribbon pin is the Wimbledon colors dark purple and green. Kate wears it because supposedly only AELTC members are allowed to wear it, though I don’t recall seeing anyone else wearing one… So It’s like star belly Sneetches but Kate is the only Sneetch
She’s not wearing the ribbon at this event.
She wears the Wimbledon ribbon when she goes to watch Wimbledon events. The ribbon photos on this post are from last year when she watched with Will in the light grey suit. The NHS event this week is Will in a dark suit and no pin.
He really is making no effort at all huh? He couldn’t even wait for his wife to be seated before sitting himself? What a horrible duo. That dress Waity is wearing is a no go as well.
Will’s sour expression hints that he is smelling an incredibly stinky fart. His overall tight lipped dourness signals a total lack of joy in being with Kate.
I had a two piece dress like that in 1982, it was Albert Nipon. This looks like something out of the ’80s as well. And as usual makes her look much older than she is.
All of these dresses remind me of those I wore in the 80s, Albert Nipon, Maggy London, etc. I liked them then, don’t think I’d wear them now.
BeanieBean: Me either. Not only is she aging badly but her dated and stodgy clothes … I wonder if her dressers hate her, lol.
Whoop de doo they iced a cupcake and had their photos taken. Same old same different day. No gloves or hair put back because would ruin the photo op. Can’t have that.
@susanCollins, yep, and then toddled of to Wimbledon. They don’t give a stuff about the NHS as they don’t use it, and those were the exact words spoken by one of the nurses in my ward
Mary Pester, the nurse saying that is why the two of them are useless. They should have made it about the fact that the NHS needs for resources–yes, I know that they’re not supposed to be political, but I believe that boat has sailed. If the brf isn’t political then how in the heck could ANYTHING Biden does ‘snub’ KFC?
They could speak to the long hours that the medical professional worked during the worst of the pandemic and continue to serve the people even in tough times. There are so many things they could have said. The problem is the Tories want to do away with the NHS (in my opinion). Wank are never going against the Tories.
I’m sorry you’re in the hospital again, but glad that you’re being well taken care of. I love your comments here. Keep it up!
She kept putting her hands in her hair and then touching the food. She really needs to blend her extensions with her hair better. That top picture is crazy. That one clump is floating away.
Yes that is what grossed me out. Don’t prepare food and play with your hair. There must have been hair all over the prep table. Anyone with long hair knows not to do this because you end up shedding hair, especially when it’s long and you are playing with it as she is doing.
Now maybe the wiglet doesn’t shed and that’s what she is playing with, but it still tuned my stomach. No one else had long her like her nor were they touching it while prepping food.
It also bugs me that they come in from heaven knows why and start touching food. Are their hands clean?
Too bad we can’t drag William for not pinning his hair back. 😆
I just hope the cupcake baker wasn’t there. The last time William was served cupcakes he insulted the woman who made them.
LOL, I forgot about that!
Mama Berenstain wore that dress better
OMG, that’s it! I KNEW I recognized that dress from somewhere! 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Poor mama Bear. And yes she did wear it better!
Lol
LOL.
LOL
LMAO!! I’m dead!
🤣! To be fair, Demona, K isn’t wearing a puffy, frilly-edged polka-dotted fascinator with the dress. Mama Berenstain would never leave the house without one. 😌
Someone told her to stop the Meghan cosplay, she is fully back to her stepford wife uniforms. She just couldnt pull the sleek modern look.
Yeah, they tried to past this event off as taking place yesterday but as Kaiser says Kate spent all her time at Wimbledon yesterday so there was no time for her to attend this tea party. I’m going to guess it happened last week. NHS Charities is an indictment on the Government’s determination to decimate the public health service.
I am curious why they released it today though bc isn’t this the first day of Charles’ Scottish Chubbly? Idk maybe there’s a real logistics reason that makes sense.
5 July is the actual anniversary date. It was released last night so it would get in the papers today. It’s curious why the Palace didn’t either have this next week or last week.
Ahh okay that makes sense. I really wondered if they were doing an upstaging again.
The court circular would list this event but I have not seen any reference to it. She certainly didn’t do it yesterday because she was at Wimbledon for most of the day to flirt with Roger Federer.
She’s letting Black people touch her now. 😆
The disparity between what WanK get paid for icing cupcakes and what NHS workers are fighting to get paid is just obscene.
Yeah, it’s quite unfair…NHS has a shortage of 100000 staff. And now under plans NHS staff will be limited to working additional shifts via less costly NHS staff banks.. but obviously that’s OK because the royals acknowledged its importance and celebrated with the staff…🙄🙄🙄
This, all day long, SURE.
Interesting that even in their own posted clips Kate seems to be taking centre stage. She even walked in front of him.
This event is such a nothingbaker/let them eat cake (that I “decorated”) moment. The NHS deserved way more than this.
Looking at those old Wimbledon photos…why the long face, Kate? Where was your enthusiasm with Roger or are you finally able to concentrate on the game if someone isn’t polite enough to react to your “small talk”?
Good lord, she pretty much disappears when she turns sideways…
And could he possibly look more disengaged?
First, to Kaiser, I applaud your use of the first photo. HIALRIOUS. The way that Kate looks and Wills expression next to hers. Well done.
Second, she touched her hair and kept touching the food utensils. I don’t think she cooks. Maybe it’s me, but I was always taught to gather your hair when cleaning and cooking.
Lastly, I am always left a bit shocked when I see untouched photos of her. This skin is not the same as that masked photo at PP’s funeral.
EDIT – I guess one could say, these pics were icing on the cupcakes. Sorry, I could not resist!
I think she does do some cooking and baking at home (occasional “let’s make something” for fun, not the daily grind) and plays with her hair then as well.
Although when papped off duty she usually has her hair in a ponytail, whilst wearing jeans and a jumper, so perhaps it’s not as bad as when in public with hair loose.
The UK is fundamentally broken for even facilitating this nonsense. Hardworking NHS staff letting themselves be used in this way all for the sake of propping up two lazy dullards? It’s beyond comprehension. How can they even pretend to care about the NHS when they have luxury private healthcare at their very fingertips? They wouldn’t know how long the waiting times are in A&E departments or having important operations being cancelled at the very last minute. It’s this type of PR schtick that angers me. And it angers me how ordinary people put themselves out there to be used over and over again.
It seems like they are celebrating the NHS and not doing anything to actually help it function. Seeing as how we have subsidized health care in canada, I can’t recall any events celebrating health care like this. The programs would have started in the 50s and 60s so maybe ontario will celebrate 75 to cover Doug ford trying to privatize everything.
Why is it hilarious that she’s repeating her past Wimbledon dresses for other events? Isn’t that preferable to buying new for each occasion? I thought the color choice was apt
Its hilarious because Wimbledon was about to start so she just started re-wearing her Wimbledon outfits. She doesn’t re-wear them that often but when she does let it be for some reason like that. Kind of like how she dressed in pumpkin orange to visit Fox Nursey, cosplaying flag colors etc etc
There’s just nothing left of her, is there? From side to side she’s just wasting away. This is very sad to watch in real time.
Inappropriate attire around food is a huge peeve of mine.
The great baking shows, British/Australian/Canadian (haven’t watched the us version) they NEVER pull their hair back.
Long long hair just dangling everywhere. They wear jewelry (rings! With pastry!) it’s so gross.
Anyway. She looks awful, he looks awful, & this whole cupcake thing is so insulting.
I’m really surprised that whoever was running the show didn’t ask Kate to put her hair up. I run my church’s pantry and meal delivery service, and I always keep a stash of hair ties and nets on hand for drop-in helpers. And Lord knows that wiglet is probably shedding. It doesn’t look like the highest quality (which baffles me, by the way. Isn’t her hair supposed to be like, her signature? She spends a fortune on her wardrobe, but then goes and ruins even her rare good looks with ratty-ass wiglets!).
William and Kate suddenly seem to be doing more bread and butter events. So they’re finally doing more of the jobs that they are supposed to be doing?
I think it was a big push before they disappear until September. After the Scottish coronation I don’t think there is much left. And once the kids are done school that will be their excuse to hide out, especially kate.
William And Kate Have Toast Squares at Lunch: Royal searchers are scandalized after the couple were seen ingesting food. It has also been reported Kate may have blinked her eyes, but this is unconfirmed. We are breathlessly awaiting the next news of every boring and pointless thing these two do. !!!
Going away until September, you say?
Good news!
Less W&K is fine with me.
Of course, they will be living the good life on the tax payers bill again as they vacation.
Nothing new in that.
Check out the full video at the NHS site as posted: at approximately 40-42 seconds Kate repeats something about the jam mentioned by a woman and William rolls his eyes!!! He’s so over her that’s depressing. Why does she stays in such a marriage? If he’s like that in public, imagine how he’s in private!!!
Triple theme dressing!!! Wimbledon dress because it’s Wimbledon, dress that looks about 75 years out of date and blue and white for the NHS. Who’s got bingo???
I’d *like* to predict a Lannister- like drawing together of forces, slowly but surely against the current K and QC. Slowly and sneakily like Varys. I mean, if they had any wits about them.
Alas, I digress.
She’s so Desperate to be queen she doesn’t mind being a doormat.
