It’s funny how indignant some people, myself included, get over the fact that Prince William and Kate separate Prince George from his siblings so often. I was so pissed last year when William and Kate repeatedly took George to sporting events – like the Wimbledon men’s final – and didn’t include Charlotte. I get why they don’t bring out Louis to many events – a tennis match is simply too long for Louis to sit still. But Charlotte would have enjoyed the tennis matches last year! So, I complained, many of us complained. Guess who was included this year? Will and Kate definitely read the comments.
William and Kate arrived at the All-England Club with Charlotte and George on Sunday for the men’s final. This was George’s second-ever time at Wimbledon, following his appearance one year ago at the men’s final. This was Charlotte’s first-ever time at a Wimbledon match. I kind of wonder if she would have gotten more enjoyment out of the women’s final, but whatever. At least she was included.
Kate wore a green Roland Mouret dress for this appearance. It looks a lot like a repeat, but I think it’s new? She just buys different versions of the same dress in the same colors by different designers. The Wimbledon Wiglet is also suffering – why has her hair looked like ten kinds of hell in the past year? Did she get a new wig person or something? I also feel sorry for George, having to dress up like a little banker every time he goes to Wimbledon. That is the dress code for the Wimbledon Royal Box though – men (even boys, I guess) have to wear a suit jacket and tie.
I was pleasantly surprised to see that George and Charlotte were able to sit still and stay engaged with the five-set, five-hour tennis match. As it turns out, they’re both huge Carlos Alcaraz fans, and their guy won! It’s very true that little kids love the younger tennis players, like Carlos and Coco Gauff. George and Charlotte were so thrilled, and the photos of them rooting openly for Carlos were pretty cute. It looks like Charlotte was literally keeping her fingers crossed for him.

Cute kids. Horrible parents. Kate’s wiglet is bound to come to life and strangle her one day. And again her eye make is just awful along with the shoulder pads for that dress.
“ Kate’s wiglet is bound to come to life and strangle her one day.”
LOL 😂
I always miss the wiglet drama!!!
Is it cuz I’m on my phone?
It’s strange about the hair – it’s all clumpy and sticky-looking, like way too much product.
I saw one photo yesterday in which I thought her hair looked a lot better— it seemed like maybe 40% or so of the wiglet had been chopped off/taken out/however it works. I was pleasantly surprised! But it must have just been the angle in that one pic making her hair look smoother, because these photos…yikes. Back to the usual hot mess.
Watched the game, couldnt watch the presentation because I cant see her without thinking about (1) letting that lie about Meghan sit out there, admitting in private its a lie but watched her get brutalized for it and did nothing; (2) trying to put Meghan in her place with her ‘bisch I’m going to be queen one day and you’ll have to bow to me, so you dont talk about my hormones ’cause you’ll never know me like that’, meanwhile she has no problem talking publicly about her morning sickness and hypnobirthing; (3) that nasty behavior at the service, H&M’s last official task before leaving that hellscape.
Anyway, saw a picture of her sideways in that dress, I was stunned, she has no azz, like zero. And I hope her supporters never make another comment about Meghan needing an iron.
She acted so weird on the presentation. She started to walk down the line of the ball kids and suddenly stopped, turned back to one of the kids and shoot their hands. Everyone seemed confused. Like she was holding the line or something. This lady doesn’t know how to do events. At all.
She was so AWKWARD at the award ceremony. It was so bizarre. The entire stadium is silent waiting for her to give the awards, she takes like 5 minutes to get to the court and as she slowly walks on the the court, she stops and talks to each and every ball kid. Two of the officials were standing there like “WTF” and even whispered to each other. I’m sure they said “what the hell is she doing?”
She had the entire Wimbledon stadium including the winners watching her small talk with the ball kids.
Not only did she dwindle before giving out the trophy, it was almost a five hour match. People wanted to head home or a bathroom break and she’s taking her merry old time.
Can someone direct me to a wiglet post?
Everyone keeps talking about how bad it is and I don’t know if my eyes suck – they do – but I literally need someone to like circle it and have an arrow. Because the couple of times there was a close up and a comment like – you can see it behind the headband above her left ear – I went and looked and LE GASP! ZA WIGLET OF DOOM!
But otherwise I can never see it and I want in on the wiglet talk!!!!
There is no one post. There are just several observations from over the years. I think if you look up photos of her hair through the years it may help to identify the wiglets and hair pieces.
Hi Moxylady. Google photos of Kate from the back when she’s wearing a thick high collar coat, such as a winter one, and you’ll see – the wiglet clearly bunches up at the crown because it gets caught at the collar and moves skywards and thus becomes more obvious. Most recent are the photos from the pre-coronation events where, from side on, you can see her wiglet reached heights of bouffant-ness never seen before; a huge mass of separate hair at her crown, like a bump.
Moxylady – part 2! Look at the top photo of this selection. You can see that she tucks her hair behind her ears and then there’s a section of hair that comes down and round from her crown to make a curtain either side of her face and then down past her shoulders at the front. That looks like two separate chunks of hair to me – one under the other – rather than hair behaving as it would if it were naturally one. Kate’s ‘thick hair’ is a myth; photos from when she was younger don’t show overly thick hair.
@moxylady thank you for asking that question because I’m not a hair person and have a hard time understanding what to look for in terms of the wiglets!
@sparrow so basically she wants more volume and height at the crown so that’s where she puts the extensions? I always thought you put extensions all the way around the head like around top of ear level
Her wiglet(s) is a different colour to her natural hair. That’s what stands out for me_ She needs to get new wiglets because these ones are really ratty-looking.
It usually falls in a different way than her natural hair, that’s how I can spot it. and I feel like once you see it its hard to unsee it.
I had a harder time spotting the extensions under her hair but someone on here explained it a while ago in a way that made sense. maybe around the time of her christmas concert?
IMHO it cuts down on the cuteness level to see them all standing with their hands crossed in front. That’s such a defensive pose. Looks very non-Royal to me.
@Elizabeth Phillips I was think thinking the same thing about the hands crossed in front! It makes them look standoffish and awkward
@Elizabeth Philips. I also noticed their hands. The members of this family is so guarded literally and figuratively.
I am glad they brought Charlotte this year. Treating the heir as more special is not a good idea. George and Charlotte looked like they had a great time.
It’s better than the light minty green monstrosity. At least it’s from this century.
If she does read the comments: Update your hair, Katie! It’s a mess. Too long, wrong colour, wrong style.
She might see this as an invitation to get it chopped and dyed blonde… Like Diana, you know.
And full of frou-frou details and extra fabric, as usual, to give the illusion of a bustline.
I find it interesting that she doesn’t match the color scheme of the rest of the family. Was this Dad’s weekend with the children? 🤔
Well it looks like the kids had a good time, so that’s good. I’m glad they included Charlotte this year. And Kate went to two matches in one weekend! She definitely is going to need a month off in Mustique.
Wasn’t George a Djokovic fan last year? Anyway, Kate’s dress is new.
Considering what kind of person Djokovic is and the sentiments he expressed, it wouldn’t be bad if George picked another player like Carlos to root for. Plus, kids get into new players all the time and the past year has been huge for Carlos.
Fair weather fans you suspect? I believe everything they do is choreographed so who knows who the kid really likes.
Even if they don’t watch every tennis match (As a tennis fan, it’s very hard to see them all, they’re all over the world in different time zones!), Carlos would be one they would know, not just because he’s young, but also because he’s the world #1 and gets to a lot of semi-finals and finals which are the matches most will watch if they can’t watch the whole tournament.
I love how Charlotte had her fingers crossed, it’s so CUTE. They were really involved in the match which I found impressive. It took me a while to even figure out how they scored tennis when I started watching more frequently LOL
That dress needs a good iron. And they used to drag Meghan for creases. I don’t think she ever had anything this creased.
It’s also too long, but that’s her usual style gaffe. I really like that color green but why, oh why must she match the courts?? The dress also seems a little stiff for a sporting event.
Ok, little Charlotte cheering with that level of enthusiasm is just so darn cute. How adorable. I’m glad that she enjoyed her outing so thoroughly.
And I also thought that Kate re-wore that green dress, but Kaiser I think you are right – this one is new. She did wear a very similar green dress a while back, and it had gold buttons on the front, did it not? I can’t recall which event she wore it to.
I agree! Charlotte’s little crossed fingers got me choked up. Feels like they got to be kids for a minute.
That other green one was a modified Gucci, I think. I remember it was super tight & you could see her belly button. That was the time she & Meghan & Pippa went to Wimbledon to watch Serena play.
That was it! You’re right!
So she wore two separate nearly-identical-but-not dresses to Wimbledon??? Why on earth would you do that?
The kids didn’t look bored because they took breaks/were away with William during middle of match. I watched this live and saw their seat was empty a couple of times when the camera went towards kitty. I don’t blame them, its cruel that they forced George to wear a suit during this global heatwave.
That makes perfect sense! My daughter is Charlotte’s age- we’ve taken her to a few Res Sox Games, breaks are the only way you get through them. It’s a long time to sit still. That makes me feel a bit better about their parenting, lol.
Shoot, I couldn’t sit five straight hours! It’s way easier to watch this on TV!
That’s good to know that they took breaks from the game. I don’t know how hot it is in the UK but here in the US it’s awful. I would hate to be out in that heat wearing a suit.
I agree that they shouldn’t put the poor child in a suit, but it hasn’t been that hot here. It was around 21C (70F) on Sunday.
So the kids and William took a break and left Waity in her seat. William is really committed when it’s his turn with the kids.
I realize I’m in the minority here, but I believe if a child is old enough to go someplace then they are old enough to follow a dress code. When my son was little and we went to a restaurant that required coats and ties, he wore a coat the tie. I do think a lighter color jacket – a nice light linen – would be a much better choice, however.
Unless they have sensory / health issues that preclude them from partaking fully in the dress code.
If that’s the case, @Moxylady, then George has bigger issues to face than a dark sport coat and tie. George doesn’t look uncomfortable. Everyone is projecting THEIR discomfort on him. He seems like he’s having a good time.
Think she wanted to have a Meghan moment with that green dress and it’s a no 😂
Hair is a mess too but it has been as of late so 🤷♀️
@seaflower all she needed to add was a cape over the left shoulder….
Agree – very nearly M’s dress. Also very much like the one from her dutiful day w/ her new sister-in-law at Wimbledon many years ago; the day when Pippa was nicer to Meghan than Kate was.
Charlotte is so darn cute ! the cute little glasses, loudly cheering so excitedly ! adorable !
As for Kate, i have to admit that i love this dress, i would have a million different versions of it for work if i could afford them and if i didnt work mostly from home nowadays. It also helps that her dress from woman’s final was puke-worthy, so this is miles better by comparison.
As for hair length, is it a thing for women to cut their hair shorter when they are in their 40s in the US/UK? i am the same age as her and im of indian origin so most women i know have hair that long and longer.
I can’t speak to the US, but a lot of women in the UK do cut their hair when they get to a certain age. Annabel Croft, who did the on-court interviews, has sometimes been criticised for keeping her hair long (she’s 57). (I adore Annabel Croft, she’s been through a lot lately).
that’s fascinating! why is that though? is long hair culturally only for younger women? i had seen that comment before but i thought it was linked to thinning hair that looks better shorter. In this case, kate’s hair ( whether her own or bought who knows) is quick thick here.
My next door neighbor is also an south asian women in her 60s and she has long lustrous white hair down to her butt and it looks fabulous !
True, EBS. Women here do tend to cut their hair to a shoulder bob or shorter as they get older. Annabel Croft looked wonderful. She has such vitality.
Didn’t know Annabel Croft was 57. She had a few lines round the eyes but, goodness, she looked a helluva lot better than KM: natural and effortlessly attractive.
KM was harshly made up and with very unflattering red tones in her hair extensions. That’s just her appearance, without getting started on her odd & awkward behaviour. The contrast with Annabel, 15 years older but looking much better, was striking
I think (and I live in the USA…so not sure about the UK), that the thinking once women turn 40 they have to cut their long hair is becoming a rather outdated way of thinking. I will be 38 later this year, and up until a few months ago had almost waist length hair (cut it a few inches below my shoulders). I will probably grow it long again, but wanted a change. I think this cutting of hair once you each a certain age, comes from that hair tends to get thinner as one gets older. Now of course this isn’t true for all women. But I have seen plenty of women older than 40 with long hair, and it looks great! Katie’s issue is, she never had nice hair…not thick, or bouncy or anything that would warrant her keeping her hair that long. She has quite fine, thin hair naturally and hair like that, if long can look raggedy (hence the wiglets…which isn’t helping tbh). She would look much more sleek and modern with a bob cut imho
i wouldn’t be surprised that she is wearing extensions now , after 3 kids and especially being in the public eye, i think all celebrities do (including Meghan i feel) , but in all the pictures of her from her school days , i think at some point she did have nice hair. I think that’s why she is relying on extensions now, because the press made such a big deal out of it then. i do remember countless articles about her blowdry or whatever.
However Kate looks outdated because she dresses like she’s stuck in the 1960s, i dont think a bob or whatever would make her look sleek, i doubt it would even suit her.
The very first press release issued on her behalf by KP was a denial of using hair extensions so she was wearing them well before the kids were born.
Kate crafted a certain image of herself and the hair was a part of it. If you look at pictures of her hair in her 20s, it is not as thick as it looks now, which is against the principles of aging.
Long hair can really drag down a face, so I think that’s why some women start to cut their hair shorter as they age. I’m in my 50s with long hair and I keep assessing whether it’s flattering. But my hair is curly so it doesn’t tend to drag me down (yet).
Kkkhate’s hair is too fake and stiff and usually looks like she needs a good trim. The wiglets are just so dated and her hair has no movement at all. A shorter, more natural style would do wonders.
Curls definitely flatter an aging face. It took me years to appreciate my curls. I finally understand why people claimed to be envious. It was so freeing to stop with the straightening.
It isn’t about the length of her hair. It is about her vanity in using so many extensions that what we’re seeing is 9/10th someone else’s hair. And the fact that it is constantly styled poorly, unprofessionally, and she shoves her hands in her hair then expects someone to be willing to touch her hand.
NOTASUGAHERE
Do you feel the same way about black women like my self who wear long human hair extensions in the form of weaves and wigs?
The biggest issue I have is that the palace literally put out a statement saying Kate does not wear extensions. Fine. As nic919 said, it was the first official statement put out by Kate. About her appearance. Again, fine, whatever, she can do that. Legitimately, idc if she has extensions or a bump-it hair piece or whatever. Do I think it could be done better, sure. But then, when the lie that Meghan made her cry was all over the papers for months, making Meghan seem like the angry black woman and Kate the poor innocent victim, all of the sudden, Kate can’t put out a statement? Get the absolute fuck outta here. That is why I cannot with Kate Middleton ever.
Exactly, jais.
Not just the hair extensions, but Kate also had KP advise the media that she did not use botox.
Kate’s continued silence on not correcting a lie just shows how awful of a person she remains.
I’m Kate’s age and almost everyone I know in this age range still has long hair. The people I know with short hair have had short hair for years (so its not a matter of age.)
I dont know if there were society expectations decades ago that dictated women should cut their hair, but I think right now women just cut it as they get older and their hair gets less healthy, more brittle, harder to keep healthy at a longer length, etc. Or shorter hair cuts are more flattering on aging faces, things like that. I don’t know if/when I’ll cut my hair but it won’t have anything to do with getting older. My husband’s aunt is 60 and still has waist length hair.
Back in the late ’80’s when I was in my 20’s with long hair, I worked with a woman in her 50’s. She told me to enjoy my long hair while I can because once I turned 30 I’d have to cut it. I asked her why and her only reason was “because that’s what you do”. I didn’t cut my hair when I turned 30.
I’m in my 50’s now and have kept my hair long most of the time. I’ll let it grow to my butt then chop it off to my shoulders then let it grow again. I do have to admit that in my 50’s I do look better with my hair shorter. And it’s easier to maintain.
Regarding hair length, I don’t think that it’s a requirement or a standard placed on women of a certain age, at least not in the US. I think it is usually a case by case basis. I think the suggestion for Kate to shorten her hair is because certain styles can age you or make you look more youthful. The main focus the media or royal fans have with Kate is her physical appearance, something that won’t necessarily last forever. So the suggestion is to help her look more youthful by framing her face and not elongating her face. At least in the US women tend to style their hair not because of a standard placed on them, because even young women stole their hair short or dye it gray or something similar. It’s more of a preference.
I have commented on this before because I’m the same age as Kate and have always had long hair like hers but I finally cut it to my collar bone a few months ago because my round face and big cheeks finally don’t look so big and round because aging, finally a W for having big cheeks. I always wanted shorter hair but felt like it made my face look way too round so I always kept it long. I have young kids though and end up just putting it up in a pony tail 99% of the time and the time it took to wash, dry, and straighten it was just getting to be too much. I didn’t cut it because of my age per say but I finally feel comfortable with it shorter and am so much happier with it only taking a few minutes to dry and straighten now.
Kate looks very good in this tone of green. Darker colors and jewel tones suit her well. I think this dress is a repeat – it looks familiar but I cannot find it in a quick search, so @AmyBee may be correct that it is new.
Good to see the kids out there having some fun. I will say this, that dress fits her like a glove and yet there are pictures where one can see the loose material. IF she has an eating disorder I really hope someone intervenes and gives her help. Considering what they did to Meghan I doubt they will. I know from experience that when you feel like you don’t have control over anything and you are under pressure (especially Kate with her appearances looks wise) controlling your eating habits and your weight become addictive like drug and the rush is controlling it when you cannot control anything else. And I think that is an issue with Kate.
@Seraphina…I agree about darker colors and jewel tones suiting her. They look so much better on her and don’t make her look washed out.
The kids look like they are having fun, and them cheering is really cute! I will say Willy doesn’t look bad here, he def looks better in “casual” clothes as opposed to a suit or tux. I like Katie’s dress. The color suits her. I think she looks much better in bright colors and jewel tones instead of pastels. I think wedges would be more appropriate for the event though as she was walking on grass. She needs a haircut. A sleek bob would be much more fresh and suited on her.
The kids cheering was very cute, especially Charlotte. What good little buffers/distractions they are!
The kids are also being used to groom the public.
In some ways those kids are literally “cheering” to secure their royal lifestyle. The cuter they appear; the more relatable they seem, the more likely it is for the UK public to succumb to the royalist propaganda.
I wonder if Charlotte is going to he an athlete like Anne and Zara. She was so into the game. It was so cute.
If her mother has any say, no, never.
Why do you say that? Kate fancies herself an athlete. Plus Anne and Zara are olympians. It’s not like Char is going to have much else as far a career.
They wouldn’t let Harry pursue a career as a professional polo player when he was more than good enough to do it. Too high profile, too dangerous, too hard to protect in matches.
Kate will never allow CC to do anything that takes attention from Kate. See how Kate yanks that child around for PR and CC’s response to it. Also why Kate is dressing CC in too-small clothing, because she’s panicked that CC is growing up and she doesn’t have the youngest princess anymore.
Why would you limit a child so much? If she has any backbone at all, she’ll turn her back on her idiot parents, walk away like Uncle Harry, and earn a living doing what she wants.
I love this dress. It’s her signature overly high neckline but done well. There are no hideous Victorian flounces or buttons. It looks modern and sleek compared to the dowdy 1980s/1880s junk she usually wears. I also looooved the pics of Charlotte wearing sunglasses with her hands behind her head. It’s something my kid would do. Adorable. She seems to have a fun little personality. Love seeing her.
Credit where it’s due, this dress is really nice and suits/fits her very well. I don’t even mind the green theme dressing because it’s a great look all round, accessories included. Maybe the earrings would have looked better if they were pearl studs or simple gold earrings? But overall this is a good look for her.
Love how into the game Charlotte and George were, Charlotte especially (as were we all)! Her sunglasses were super cute too. I felt bad for George in his suit, while it is the dress code it’s clearly not typical that kids are in the Royal Box haha. Poor little guy 🙁
The kids are cute. Did it look like Charlotte wasn’t wearing tights? 😹
Bonus that including Charlotte added another 2 feet between the parents… could they look more detached?
This is being noticed on social media. I saw more than one comment about that from accounts entirely unrelated to royal watching.
I saw him explaining things to George during the match and think it would be good if Charlotte could sit next to her dad and not be so rigid on heirs sitting together? Also did we get a “festive” glance exchanged by our “uniquely” happily married couple on this occasion, or not?
My partner and i always sat/sit at either ends of our kids. Damage control! Parental bookends also keep the wee blighters from potential interaction w/ people who just want to be left alone. However, in this case, it conveniently adds a nice distance between two people who do seem detached from one another, esp him from her.
Sorry its a no from me kateykins, we know you or someone close to you drops in on us here so, ditch the shoulder pads, ditch at least two of the wiglets, ditch a good 3 inches of the makeup and stop wearing the wrong shoes to events like this
It was lovely to see the children enjoying themselves, but, Charlotte has her fingers crossed all the time at every outing, so what’s going on there?
Kate’s cosplaying the grass courts now in yet another new, ugly, green, £1000 dress.
Seems Kate has decided that green will be the colour she will wear to Wimbledon. Maybe she’s decided that she wants green to be the colour associated with her and Wimbledon. Anyway, as an unrelated point, Roland Mouret was (is) a close friend of Meghan’s and Meghan was noted to wear dark green on two famous occasions- her engagement interview and her last Commonwealth Service although she wore Mouret on neither of those appearances. However, Meghan wore a pale blue dress in one of her engagement photos that looks very similar to this one but I don’t know if it was a Roland Mouret. I mean, women wear the same designer all over the world all of the time. The game was was a great nail-biter and it’s great to see the two children enjoy the game so much. At least they had a really fun outing it seems. Charlotte in her little sunglasses is just too cute!
Their daughter wears the same dress since she was a year old. Yet, their fans have the audacity to criticize Lili’s clothes and accuse Meghan of copying that girl, when that girl only has one dress lol.
I think it’s a shame that she went to the women’s final on her own and the whole family minus Louis went to the men’s final. It sends a bad message like the women’s final isn’t important. Also i don’t get why she used tax payers money for this green dress when she has another dresss in an identical shade of green that she’s woen to Wimbledon before. Yes, this dress is nocer and minus the zillion buttons she prefers but still. It’s so wasteful and unnecessary. Plus that she manages to show up each year for Wimbledon but can’t be bothered to visit some of her other patronages that she hasn’t been to in years and this all counts as “work”.
She had never attended the women’s final until Meghan appeared on the scene.
That’s a good point. Maybe they could take one child to each final and rotate? But really, as a huge tennis fan, this year”s women’s final was not exciting and the men’s one was excellent so they ended up at the more entertaining event.
Yeah you’re right the women’s final compared to the men’s was not exciting at all. The men’s final was thrilling. The women’s final was frustrating just because Ons was so nervous the whole time and just couldn’t get it together.
The real reason is that William has no interest in the women’s final and wanted to attend the men’s final so the kids were needed as buffers.
The walk in video where kate does bad small talk to the ball kids shows William and George making grimaces at some remark she makes. Charlotte just stares elsewhere.
Both George and Charlotte are old enough to know what’s going on with their parents, after all William and Harry witnessed a broken marriage even earlier.
The dress is fine; green’s the best colour imo. More interested in how Kate interacts w/ people. She’s so brittle, which she leaves me feeling she’s naturally rather introverted. (Perhaps she’s just rude!) There’s nothing at all ‘wrong’ w/ this, of course, but it could account for why she finds meeting people and sharing conversation so hard. One of my kids is exactly like the same (although she’s a much warmer character). Carole did a very mean and mercenary thing, pushing her daughter towards a role so unsuited to her. Kate colluded, but she was young and probably looked to her damn mother for guidance and strategising. A happier Kate life would have been: wealthy husband, home county house, small group of family friends.
That dress needs to be steamed — it’s so wrinkled. I expect a linen dress to be wrinkled, but not this fabric.
Of course in the last picture where the family is watching the game, the kids and Will are cheering for what’s happening on the court and Kate has a big smile on her face looking.. directly at the camera. I still can’t believe that people act like Meghan is always stalking a camera when it’s Kate who can’t go 5 seconds without looking into the camera and freeze posing.
Also, in the second to last picture of the family watching the court, where Kate has an actual excited look on her face (fake, I’m sure as she has never looked like that watching a sporting event), she looks like a 50 year old woman with way too much plastic surgery.
I haven’t liked Kate in years, but can’t stand her ever since she treated Meghan and Harry like shiz.
@Evev. Her expression of excitement is so posed and very self-conscious. That’s why it registers as fake and she looks odd and old. I also think that anything that has to do with Kate’s part of the mouth is problematic. That part of her doesn’t photograph well really. No amount of fillers and pricey dental work has worked on her. So bizarre looking. Strange .
Kate’s freeze-frame posing is so creepy. It must be somewhat unnerving to those in her proximity. What must her own children make of her posing and guffawing? It’s no wonder most kids seem uncomfortable around Kate. Youngsters have very little filter and must be quite weirded out by her absurd facial expressions.
Her dress has. Wrinkles! ☺️
Designers must shudder when Kate wears their clothes. A view of this dress from someone who sews… if you look at this Mouret dress on the model you will see it has an ease fit. It has what my Mum would call “wiggle room”. That’s a couple of inches in the side seams so there is room to move and to sit without it becoming a wrinkled mess. From looking at the photos I can tell that Kate has had this dress taken in down the side seams, probably so it hugs her body when she is standing still. This is the reason why there is pulling on the sleeves at the underarm. I suspect she’s had the waistline lifted too as the seam there seems thicker. Every Mourent dress I’ve looked at has always been lined. To make these alterations I suspect the lining has been removed and not replaced. Another reason why it wrinkled so badly. It doesn’t help that she takes such huge strides either. With what seems like no cap to her clothing allowance I expect Kate to be well presented and well groomed. It just isn’t happening.
It also looks as if the length was hemmed up a few inches, instead of being cut off. All that puckering makes it look even worse than all the wrinkling.
Thank you Cathy for explaining what is so off about this dress. I didn’t know why it looked so weird in pics where you can see her knees pushing against the fabric, they seem so low. Proportions are all thrown off because they moved the waistband higher. I had read years ago she does that with all of her dresses.
How many pins does it take to keep all that on her head?
Someone on twitter pointed out that kkkate’s bracelet is identical to one Meghan often wears:

Kkkhate is so pathetic and predictable. Her only good fashion is already Meghan’s. Poor dear English rose, never to be as gorgeous, photogenic, or chic as the biracial American. Really stings, doesn’t it Kkkhate?
Well the flats didn’t last long, back to stillettos. Weird, are they purposely trying to look like a 1960s nuclear family stepped into the future?? It’s so odd
Despite his known wicked behaviour to H&M, despite all of that, there are occasions now when I find myself feeling sorry for W – and this was one of them.
KM is so odd it is painful looking at pictures of her at events, let alone video. And in some of those photos poor little Prince G looks frightened.
Wonder what the King of Spain, present to see Carlos Alcaraz fight the Final, thought of them…..
