Princess Kate wore a baby-blue Catherine Walker for Trooping the Colour

Here are some photos from Saturday’s Trooping the Colour, the British monarch’s annual (faux) birthday parade. This post is for the Princess of Wales and her children, who rode in a carriage and then stood on a balcony. It’s notable to me how little Kate has done in the past month – one event at a hospital, one appearance at a family wedding, and then Trooping. That’s the sum total of her public appearances for one month.

Kate wore a new-to-us Catherine Walker coatdress in a baby-blue with white trimming. Her Philip Treacy hat matched in blue-and-white. My complicated opinion is that Kate looks fine for the event but she looks not-great overall, in the grand scheme of things. I think the hat is messing up her look, honestly. Kate has a face for hats – she can pull off most styles of hats. But this kind of hat hits her at the wrong place on her head, and it makes her forehead look enormous. The baby-blue drains her too – she looks much better in warmer, autumnal colors, not pastels and icy blues. Obviously, this whole look was a Diana copy-keen. That’s the thing, though – Diana had much different coloring and she could actually rock a baby blue shade.

Jewelry notes: Kate’s earrings are by Cassandra Goad, and I’m sure she’s worn those before. Surprised that she didn’t get to borrow some Royal Collection earrings, but Queen Camilla is very petty about that kind of thing. Kate’s brooch features the Irish Guards insignia.

    This event has fallen so far since the sussexes left and especially now that Queen Elizabeth is gone.

    • Mightymolly says:

      The stripped down balcony is crazy. It’s like a glaring announcement that the BRF is wasting away. It screams this is a family that has been riddled with scandal and here’s what remains.

      • Lorelei says:

        It’s wild compared to what it looked like just a few years ago when the Queen allowed all of her cousins, etc. there and the photographers needed a wide lens to capture everyone. This just looks so…pathetic.

    • TheFarmer'sWife says:

      Louis looks likes he’d rather be with the hardest working royal instead of his family! Hoping him that he can find a path in life that sees him content. Good lord, what does his mother do all day that she can’t be visiting local daycare and listening (and learning) from parents who don’t have twenty three hundred nannies and have jobs they’d get fired from if they didn’t show up…

    • Agreatreckoning says:

      The only Trooping of the Colours I’ve watched were when H&M were present one way or another. Didn’t really care much about the “royal family” until Meghan entered the scene. It’s a charisma vacuum now.

      IMO, this occasion would be the most appropriate time for Kate to wear “primrose yellow”, gaslighter white or yellow/gold. The baby blue color is just off in the whole imagery . Reminds me of the late 70s/early 80s and wearing baby blue dickies with a red tee shirt which was oddly popular at the time.

      The outfit she wore to Peter’s wedding would have been a better choice for this occasion.imo

  2. Tessa says:

    Charlotte is dressed like alice in wonderland. She needs more contemporary style. Again. Keen is paying a loving tribute to Diana since she’s wearing light blue.according to media

    • Lorelei says:

      When I went online yesterday the very first headline I saw was, “Kate’s Sweet Nod to Diana at Trooping” and I rolled my eyes before I even saw what she was wearing. They can’t come up with a new phrase to describe this creepy copying of her dead MIL? I’m so tired of hearing about “sweet nods” and “subtle tributes” and all of the other ridiculous ways they describe this SWFing.

      • Tarte Au Citron says:

        Same. I mean… Diana died almost 30 years ago. They never met. Diana usually wore dresses or skirt suits in various bright colours or prints.

        Kate’s thing is a coat dress in solid colour blocks with some pale trim. Like, ok, but I don’t recall Diana being associated with coat dresses. It is tedious to see the media scraping the barrel on this one.

      • Becks1 says:

        There’s a picture of Diana in a very similar Catherine Walker coatdress for an Easter service in the 80s – not exact, but way too similar for this to be a coincidence.

      • Tessa says:

        Diana started out wearing more stodgy outfits but she did find her own unique style. Keen just copies

      • Nic919 says:

        Catherine Walker has been dead since 2010 and her husband just uses copies of previous designs. So from the start Kate was using derivative designs in her obsession to copy Diana. (Carole’s obsession too)

        British fashion is dire if they are going to rely on Kate because she brings nothing to the table.

    • Jenny says:

      My first thought when I saw pictures was that Charlotte looked like a royal daughter circa 1910. I get that finding the right balance for dressy kids clothes is difficult but these look so old fashioned and out of date.

      • First comment says:

        Is it really so difficult? I mean, Leticia has managed: i loved the way the Spanish princesses were dressed in a modern and affordable manner. Victoria as well has managed for her daughter Estelle…and others as well. I think that she purposefully dresses her children (as well as herself) in such conservative manner you maintain the illusion of the perfect English aristocratic family from the past.

      • 2131Jan says:

        As old fashioned as Char’s dress was, it wouldn’t be half as bad without that *stupid* **GIGANTIC** bow on the back of her head. She’s 11, not a toddler FFS. The boys’ clothes don’t infantilize them, why do they do it to Char? But she and Mummykeen *did* break protocol: NO “TIGHTS”!! 😱😱😱

    • monlette says:

      I read an article the other day, which I am certain was AI generated, but it points out that the royals dress like it is the 1950’s in order to pretend that the royals are still living in the time of Elizabeth’s youth, when the monarchy was at the height of its popularity.
      I assumed that it was because they didn’t want their fashions to look clownish when dated, or because they wanted the royals to look like a conservative nuclear family fresh off a 50’s billboard, but clinging to their glory days does make sense.

      • Lorelei says:

        @Monlette, ITA with your theory. They’re trying to recreate the BRF’s “glory days” (which, with this dull bunch, will simply never happen).

      • Siri says:

        Oh my, that is so MAGA coded. They still want to live in the glory days of the British Empire when they colonized as many black and brown countries as they could. The US MAGA still want to live in the glory days of Jim Crow when mainly black people had almost no rights. There’s a reason they grinned and I’ll use the term “shuck and jived” so much for Trump.

      • Mightymolly says:

        MAGA coded is right but the big difference is how many actual Brits long for the “glory days” of the BRF? It’s just the fools on that balcony longing for it.

        Meanwhile stateside The MAGA idiots who want to live in the 1950s actually have no sense of how miserable life was for blue collar white men who worked labor intensive jobs and died young. Sure they got to feel superior to women and people of color, but that was a consolation prize for grim realities.

    • Nic919 says:

      Kate is dressing the kids and she simply has bad taste as evidenced by her own outfit. Charlotte gets the added issues of being dressed more juvenile than her age since Kate has no style or imagination.

      As mentioned by others Letizia has managed to have two daughters who attend more formal affairs and don’t look trapped in time. The Dutch girls also manage to pull it off.

      Until Charlotte can escape the shackles of Kate’s need to control everything for a bizarrely old fashioned curated family image, she will be stuck wearing things that are from another era and a younger person.

      • harriet says:

        Kate herself often wears the long ringlets and a bow in her hair, so I’m sure she doesn’t think she infantilizes Charlotte.

      • Amy Too says:

        To me, it always looks like charlottes clothes and coats are about one size too small for her. The sash on this dress is riding up because the dress isn’t long enough for her. Her coats she wears to the Christmas carol service always look short and tight, too. She’s a slim girl, why is Kate forcing her into too-small clothes?

        Or is this like what Kate does: buy a bunch of clothes, stick them in her closet, and then pull them out gradually over the course of a few years? Because that doesn’t work with growing children.

      • Lucky Charm says:

        At least Kate didn’t dress Charlotte in matching mommy-and-me dresses like she has before. Thank goodness for small favors, I guess.

      • Jais says:

        Well, we know she demanded that Meghan get Charlotte a whole new bridesmaid dress made days before the wedding bc it was too big. Despite a tailor being on standby.

      • windyriver says:

        I suspect Kate also realizes Charlotte is approaching the age where she’ll be seriously competing with Kate for press/public attention (I don’t mean purposely, just that she’ll be young and attractive), another reason for Kate to keep her in juvenile clothing as long as possible. That hair bow for an 11- year old is absurd.

      • Mightymolly says:

        @windyriver – I really wish that wasn’t the truth. I hate to think even Kate would be competitive with her own daughter, but she is going to be tall and very English rose pretty. I hope Charlotte gets to live in part time anonymity at school until she finishes uni. The spotlight is waiting, it’s true.

      • apostrophe says:

        That’s a $200 hair bow?!??!? At first glance I thought “wtf is that kid doing with an 89-cent dollar store banana clip in her hair?”

      • Kreama says:

        My 11 year old son and Charlotte were born weeks apart. We are Canadian and I realize British “upper class/nobility fashion” is different, but I cannot see any of the girls his age I know happily wearing that dress. It’s so old fashioned and infantile. Maybe, hopefully, she still looks up to her mom and wants to dress like her, as at least she wouldn’t be feeling embarrassed.

      • molly says:

        Charlotte looked great in her birthday picture! Age-appropriate, comfortable, happy, relaxed, stylish.
        This Peter Pan collar and Alice in Wonderland hairbow looks even MORE ridiculous now that we know she can dress like a regular tween.

      • Nic919 says:

        There are a few photos of Charlotte in more causal moments and she was dressed like any other girl of her age. Kate is the weirdo obsessed with presenting a certain image. Let’s not forget the Victoria ghost photo Kate did for her 40th. She’s the one with the bad style and taste. The sooner Charlotte can control her own style the better.

    • LRB says:

      So the hair bow cost over $200 – for a hair bow! The shoes were also over $200 and I cannot imagine she will wear them again – it is summer now, no more official outings, and by the autumn she will have grown. I appreciate money means little to them, but nearly $500 for a bow and shoes! The dress is bespoke so goodness knows what that costs. She is a pretty girl and seems to enjoy the public facing role which will be good because George clearly doesn’t. She will be his Anne! The big gaping gap is that Willi has no one by his side to be his wing man and he has only himself to blame for that.

      • Kat says:

        That is a ridiculous price for a hair bow, the poor child is not old enough to be aware of prices compared to what ordinary people can afford, bu.t her mother should be aware.Kate dos not care a dam about ordinary people.Even the poor boys are having to wear baby blue ties to tone in with their mother’s outfit colour.
        Cath is very controlling.

      • Lorelei says:

        That hair bow cost $200!? JFC. And the Wales think their whole “brand” is relatable and modern.

  3. Mtl.ex.pat says:

    I thought the same thing about the hat- she usually wears hats & fascinators very well but this hat & her hair line made her forehead look odd. And that goblin (Edward) and his fake uniform (I think he dropped out of military training) looks ridiculous.

  4. Tuesday says:

    Seeing the Wales children paraded around like show ponies for the peasants to look at is grotesque.

    • BeanieBean says:

      And the peasants are booing now. What happens when they start throwing rotten tomatoes?

      • Lorelei says:

        Hopefully they’ll spare the kids when it comes to the booing and egg-throwing, but whenever we see the kids, they’re with their parents, so they’ll definitely witness it…and have some questions!

    • Josephine says:

      The whole spectacle is grotesque. Like many nations, many people there are in dire financial straights. And yet they parade around these people who have no real jobs, who do next to nothing, and who are awarded millions of dollars in public money to dress like times gone by and pretend that they are special. I cannot imagine how much this costs. And the royals are so deparate for the attention that they subject the kids to the parading and the boos and contempt of the people. What a garbage group.

  5. Dee(2) says:

    The size of that hat just serves the highlight her frame in a way that is unflattering, and in a manner that they probably don’t want people looking too closely into. I’m happy someone else pointed out that she has not done any real ” work” in a while.

    In fact since coming back from Italy, which was her first ” work event ” after an extended vacation around Easter, she’s done pretty much nothing. If she has done 25 actual appearances this year, not engagements that they are counting getting out the car walking into the building and sitting down as 3, I would be shocked. And she had the nerve to look upset that they were booed yesterday.

    • First comment says:

      So true! She has only gone to two cancer related events (the one either Charles and the next day to a hospital) more than 2 weeks ago and before that she was on vacation for more than 3 weeks. And since when attending a family wedding is part of work? They’re drumming up her every appearance!

      • Lorelei says:

        Are they seriously counting attending their cousin’s wedding as a “work” event? Why am I even surprised.

    • Lurker says:

      At least she has her hair in an updo. Small mercies. The dress is a copy of Diana’s. The same goes for the size of the hat. Well, she loves this style and her shoulder pads, she looked good. Not stylish or fashionable, just Kate cosplaying Diana as in all the Trooping before.

      The balcony is ridiculous. When they had all the family (and friends as the van Cutsems and their children) on the balcony it was slightly overcrowded but fun to watch and to guess who is who. Now we have the leftovers and can take bets who will be missing next year (The Dukes of Kent and Gloucester look very frail).

      The children look miserable, especially George. I never saw him smile when paraded to the public. Typically for Kate, everyone looks up at the flyover, she looks straight into the camera with her fake smile. Boring.

      They put the protesters away from the Mall behind black screens, still you could hear them boo. Loudly. Even Kate’s smile froze for a second.

      • MY3CENTS says:

        Kate wore her hair up, What a big girl she is!

      • Amy Too says:

        I don’t if that’s just George’s resting face or if he’s actively surly and frowning, but he often looks either sad or weirdly aloof—like George III

  6. Barrett says:

    she dresses so old that by the time she dresses old we wont know the difference

  7. Jais says:

    So much squinting in the sun. I know they can’t wear sunglasses but I want to give those kids sunglasses.
    Anyways, yeah, it’s a clear Diana knock-off. The royalists will call it an homage while slamming Meghan for wanting to be Diana…… for wearing a denim shirt with jeans. Suuure. Kate is the one cosplaying diana here and also still rocking the stewardess vibes. But yeah, it’s fine. She looks fine.

    • Hypocrisy says:

      I noticed that also, drives me crazy when parents don’t protect their children’s eyes from sunlight and blue screens.. both cause very real damage.

      • Jas says:

        And honestly it just makes so many of the photos look uncomfortable. A bunch of kids, albeit cute, just squinting for their lives lol.

    • BeanieBean says:

      But they can wear sunglasses, of course they can. They’re royals, they can do anything! I know, for photo purposes, they don’t want them in sunglasses but so what? What’s more important, your kids’ eyes or your public image?

      • Jais says:

        Of course they can. If the kids want to they should be able to. Kids are funny though. I tell the ones around me to put on sunglasses and they don’t want to and go ugh. So who knows. But I do think it wouldn’t be considered “protocol” also. Sometimes you see Charlene’s son wearing sunglasses. I just can’t see photos of kids squinting and not think get thee some sunglasses now.

  8. Becks1 says:

    She goes for the Diana copykeen looks because that’s the only way she gets attention anymore. For example, I could not begin to tell you what she wore last year for Trooping. I have the vaguest memory of what she wore two years ago after her “not out of the woods yet” post. She’s gotten more headlines for “paying tribute to Diana” than for anything work related she’s done so far this year. So that’s why she does it.

    yeah her numbers after her Italy trip are really embarrassing – the cancer reception, the hospital visit……is that it? Her team is trying to cover it up by overposting for events like this – multiple reels and multiple posts – but she really is just flat out not working. William seems to be making the tiniest bit of an effort to at least pretend to work.

    • Ciotog says:

      The men steal valor with their unearned uniforms. Copying Diana is Kate’s version of that.

      • S says:

        Agree 100%, The royal family were awful to Diana but now they want to claim her. And Kate is as far from a Diana as it’s possible to be, Diana refused to be a silent puppet of the Windsors

  9. North of Boston says:

    Kate can usually rock a hat.
    But that hat, particularly the duck-bill bow that sticks out from under the rim, pulls focus from her face and is distracting.

    And the curves of the bow fight with the angular collar, lapel (especially because the angles at the lapel are emphasized by the thick white border, and the angular pin – seriously, curvy above the chin, angled below … so uncohesive – why?)

    • Nic919 says:

      It looks like tentacles coming out of her head like those zombie creatures from The last of Us.

      Part of the issue is that kate is shrinking and using clothing to hide isn’t working anymore.

    • BeanieBean says:

      @North of Boston: doesn’t say much for her art history degree, does it?

      • Agreatreckoning says:

        LOL. That underthing looked liked the reaches of rotas for something meaningful other than godawful.

  10. Maryanne Davies says:

    Kate doesn’t have the colouring for this suit, but she loves to “channel” Diana; and compare poor Charlotte to Gabriella of Monaco who is around her age but dresses in age appropriate clothes. From what I’ve read, however, many English women think Kate is the height of glamour and sophistication. I don’t know, maybe there are cultural factors at play.

    • Startup Spouse says:

      Do they though? Or is that the media artificially inflating her to be some sort of fashionista? Or is the target demographic women in their 80s?

      Serious questions.

      • Julia says:

        @startup spouse. I’m British and don’t know anyone who dresses like her. Many women in the 80s and 90s dressed like Diana and had her haircut. That is your answer…

      • Maryanne Davies says:

        Good questions and I’m basing my comment on living in England (as an American with very different style aesthetics) and hearing what English women say to me but also from reading threads on Mumsnet. We all know that the DM will build her up (and then tear her down lol) so I don’t even read the nonsense they write.

        Aristocrats don’t dress like her though.

  11. First comment says:

    Contrary to popular opinion, i like the colour of the coat dress in Kate as well as the hat but I’m sick and tired of the same pattern of every single coat dress she has worn recently! I think she must have at least four similar coat dresses in different colours! Doesn’t she have any imagination at all?

    • Jais says:

      Yeah, I think she looks fine. Like Diana. Like an 80’s flight attendant. But that’s her schtick. Do I find it interesting? No.

    • Lorelei says:

      The fact that she’ll buy the same dress in numerous colors is really getting old. She knows that what she’s wearing is what people are going to pay attention to/talk about the most, and it’s so boring when she wears, for example, the same Emilia Wickstead coatdress for the third time, just in different colors.

      When I find something I love that fits me well and isn’t crazy expensive, I’ll sometimes buy more than one, too, but I’m not one of the most photographed and scrutinized women on the planet with multiple websites dedicated to identifying every detail of every single item I’m seen in, just a random peasant.

  12. IdlesAtCranky says:

    Kate looks fine, for a pathologically thin, obviously unhappy woman.

    If she ever did anything at all of note, we’d have something to talk about other than her boring, lackluster fashion and her sadly exploited “family.”

  13. CatGotMyTongue says:

    The color is not the best on her. The hat is too big and looks like a lampshade. I can’t imagine what she might be trying to hide with it. Treacy usually does better.

    Coat is very Diana. Aka William’s mum. I know he’s always angry about something and usually half in the bag, but that’s got to be weird.

    Camilla and all the rest of them look ridiculous in their military cosplay. As usual. Sophie does look good!

    So did Charles make it to the funeral for Lady Pamela?

    Also Kate looks very tanned! Hmm…

    • Jais says:

      I’m convinced they have already built a pool at forest lodge. And if not, one is planned. But no one would ever know…bc they land-grabbed 150 acres of public park land and set up privacy hedges or whatever.

      • Nic919 says:

        The sun isn’t that direct in england to have a tan like that in mid June. Kate’s not working the fields like a farmer.
        She’s gotten it from closer to the equator.
        The Middletons still go to Mustique very often it’s just that the Uk media stays quiet about it.

    • SJS says:

      I wonder if she copies Diana so that William won’t criticize her?

  14. Chelsea says:

    The booing that happened when they were in carriages was the loudest I’ve ever heard directly around Kate and boy did she not look pleased. The kids also looked already confused/scared which isn’t good. They really should do more to protect their kids.

    • Jais says:

      I don’t know that the kids look confused. Even if it was Tye loudest, they were heavily booed last year as well so it’s not the first time it’s happened. But did the smiles and waves drop? Yes. I’d be curious to know what type of conversations they have had with the kids about the no king protests. And iirc, after last year’s trooping booing, that was when Kate pulled out at the last minute for one of those ascot appearances.

      • Lorelei says:

        @Jais, same! I mentioned in another comment that the kids must have questions about the booing/heckling. If I had to guess what W&K tell them, it would be that it’s because other people are jealous of them or something like that. But George and Charlotte must have at least some form of (heavily monitored, but as they get older, it won’t be possible for their parents to keep them off) internet access, so they’ll likely learn a LOT more that way. W&K will definitely have even more — and much harder to answer — questions then!

      • Jais says:

        Yeah, I’m just saying that they were booed last year. There are photos from last year with those yellow signs right by them so the kids shoukdnt have been confused bc this wasn’t the first time they’ve see it. I cannot imagine what the parents tell them about the protest …the way Kate dropped her face and glared though, well….

  15. line says:

    She pays homage to Diana’s style in the 80s, never to the more modern and sophisticated style of Diana in the 90s.And I think this shows her psychological state regarding the monarchy. The 80s were the decade when Diana was still submissive and trying to conform to the absurd rules of the Windsors. Whereas the 90s were the decade of emancipation and liberation; she dared not only in her wardrobe but also in her charitable commitments. So Kate isn’t really paying homage to Diana; rather, she’s sending the message that, unlike Diana, she values ​​order and hierarchy and won’t see anything changing. She will be the perfect white princess, that is to say, obedient and silent in the face of abuse.

  16. Amy Bee says:

    I don’t mind the colour. It’s the Diana cosplay and the fact this is about the 3rd or 4th time that Kate has worn a coat in this silhouette and style. Her fashion is very predictable and boring. I’m also surprised that Catherine Walker didn’t point out to Kate that this coat is similar to one that they made for Diana just in case she wanted to avoid the comparisons. Heck maybe they did tell her and she said yes please. As soon as I saw the coat I remembered Diana’s outfit.

  17. Al says:

    The ozempic balcony, lol. This is exactly what Charles, William and Kate wanted ( all the attention). They certainly have it now.

    • Mightymolly says:

      Ozempic balcony 👈 👏👏👏

    • Iolanthe says:

      They are so insecure , where are Edwards children , Annes grandchildren, obviously Andrews brood are persona non grata but there are so many of the Queens grands and great grands who would have brightened up that boring balcony . But ..god forbid they divert attention away from Kate’s sprogs who, lets face it , are growing up quite stuck up and entitled . George especially looks sulky ..even Charles and William were taught how to be good with the public when they were of a similar age .

  18. Tessa says:

    Keen can dress up like Diana but it just makes it obvious that she is not in the same league as diana

    • Blubb says:

      Yes. Hopefully she reminds the tampon when he hears the boos and sees the ever dwindling public what could have been had he Diana by his side. He even seemed to flee the balcony before the anthem.

    • Lorelei says:

      @Tessa, right? If I was Kate and my main goal was to do as little work as humanly possible, I would not want to be reminding people of a woman known for how hard she worked even after divorcing Chuck. But Kate isn’t the brightest bulb, so.

  19. harriet says:

    Kate isn’t wearing a coat dress. She’s wearing a coat with a white dress underneath.

    • Jais says:

      Good to know? I always wonder what the under dress looks like. Like could it be worn on its own or does it serve as more of a slip?

  20. Amy G says:

    These photos honestly make my eyes water. Why don’t they have the kids wearing sunglasses or at least a hat on Charlotte? No wonder the adults are all so full of Botox — that sun was bright and no eye protection isn’t good for the eyes or the wrinkles, and yet they do it for everything.

  21. Lauren says:

    This coat is basically a boring version of the coa5 Kate wore last year. The royal event to pay attention to was definitely the one in Sweden, some lovely formal day looks and stunning evening dresses

  22. Royal Downfall Watcher says:

    This would have been a lovely outfit to wear to a wedding. Instead of you know….white.

  23. LRB says:

    Bespoke to me means made to measure – the last few appearances of Kate in bespoke are therefore a worry. I am no fan of hers, far from it, but if this was measured say 2 months in advance has she lost more weight since then ? It is far too big for her. Her fans say she has always been slim, which of course she has, but there is slim and there is ill. I am not , stress NOT, body shaming, I am concerned about why no one who loves her is helping her.

  24. Mayp says:

    Kate looks so peeved in that first photo, it is as though she knew she was waving to a bunch of celebitchies!

  25. Katy B says:

    What is up with Wiliam’s right hand on the balcony! It’s a mottled, swollen mess.

    Also the page 6 full length photo of Kate shows how uneven the buttons on the dress are – it’s drowning her frame.

  26. Truthiness says:

    Dressing up like Diana at this point is just cosplay. Despite being a Lady, Diana held a lot of jobs before marriage and once she was married she worked her tail off. Kate behaves like there isn’t a job that the monarchy does, that you just swan around in pricey clothes. I hope that’s a tell that the monarchy is ending.

    All this pomp and pageantry could’ve been an email.

    Truthiness, hard agree. I don’t see why the Brits aren’t furious with Kate for cosplaying a far superior woman whom she never met. It makes me furious (okay, I’m in a bad mood anyway). And William makes no fuss about it since he’s already disowned his mother by calling her paranoid and blocking her interview on television. Or he just doesn’t give a fck what Kate does, as long as she leaves him alone. They are both piss-poor “royals” and they should be ashamed that they don’t even do the minimum. The heroic, lovely Princess Diana is only an example for her one true son, Harry, and his family.

    Diana cosplay. Wearing her dead MILs signature designer ( who has been dead for years herself). Dozens of screws loose in the Middleton family.

    Her scar is so obvious on the 2nd picture!

    There’s a debate amongst colour consultants whether Kate’s a summer or an autumn. Some swear summer others swear autumn. The issue i think is she’s photoshopped o much so it’s hard to tell. When she wears true autumn Meghan colours she doesn’t look good. We’ve all commented on it. Some of those autumn olives drag her down. But this baby blue is simply too pale, too light in the summer range.

    Poor Charlotte, that’s a dress and hairstyle for the 8 and under set.. Kate should really try dressing like it’s not 1983 all over again.

    What a bunch of twits.

  33. Bookie says:

    Remember when Meghan perfectly matched her red dress to Harry’s uniform? Camilla couldn’t be bothered.

  34. jferber says:

    I wonder if Kate will become the type of mother jealous of her teenage daughter. By dressing Char like a small child, I think this might become the case.

      My mother dressed me like a child until I couldn’t fit in the clothes. Then, she convinced me to dress like I was going to a corporate office. I never looked like a normal child or teenager my own age. I didn’t realize as a child and teenager how much my mother hated me. I hope Charlotte avoids my fate if that is her case.

    Scooter’s clenched, protecting hand looks an unhealthy dark blue in the everyone wave pic.
