Duchess Kate pals around with Prince Albert at the Olympics: creepy or cute?

Honestly, I had my heart set on doing a Twihard Meltdown post, but there’s not much new information floating around about those people. So you get a Duchess Kate post, because why not? We have new photos of her, and everyone likes to talk about her. These are photos of Kate at the aquatic center in London yesterday, where she was watching the synchronized swimming with Team GB ambassador, Robin Cousins and Olympic official Jenny Gray. Note Prince Albert of Monaco behind her, leering like your creepy, perverted neighborhood Peeping Tom. Gross. According to Yahoo, Kate actually greeted Albert with a kiss, and she and Albert and the other people were all joking around. Kate was actually cracking jokes, y’all.

As for Kate’s outfit – she was wearing the same old skinny jeans that she’s worn throughout the past two weeks. I bet they smell funky by now. She was allegedly carrying the same navy Smythe blazer that she’s been wearing a lot lately too (Smythe has actually renamed the blazer “The Duchess”). And of course, her beloved Stuart Weitzman Corkswoon wedges and a Team GB polo.

Do you think Albert and Kate get along? I would imagine Kate tries to “get along” with everyone… everyone royal, that is. Even the little Monaco royals deserve Kate’s largesse. And the way Albert is looking at her… ew. Where is his wife? Why does he look at Kate like he wants to devour her? Even the man beside him is like, “Dude, keep it together.” Albert should try Pippa. Pippa would be up for it. As it is, Kate has her hands full with her husband and his ginger brother (yeah, I said it). Sigh… poor Charlene.

      agreed. those jeans look terrible. she has a little boy body. how is that attractive? and also, how can she possibly think it’s ok to wear jeans that are PAINTED on?? she seems so concerned with her appearance in general, she must have a seriously warped view of style.

      it’s disappointing, because at the start of the games she was wearing ponytails and looking slightly less bobble-head. and we’re back to square one by the end of the games. sighhh

    She has really been supporting the athletes during the games. It was cute when she was talking to 4 of the Fierce Five. Especially since some of them said they wanted to meet her while in London.

    Actually, I think it’s fairly nauseating.

    If Kate is trying to shore up her image…perhaps it could be done so without palling about with one of Monaco’s most disturbing royals.

    Poor Charlene.

    • Merritt says:

      How is she palling about with him? For the most part she is not even looking at him and has her focus on the people beside her.

      She is expected to be friendly to other royals. If she had completely ignored him, then all her haters would be complaining about that. Charlene has nothing to worry abut when it comes to Kate. It is Albert and other non-royal women she needs to worry about. Or cheer about, if it gives her a way out.

        Is that why she (and William and Harry also) ignored some of the Swedish RFs this one time? They couldn’t be bothered to greet Daniel and Carl Philip when they were going to their seats, and they even looked they didn’t recognize the Scandinavian royals (they attended your wedding, hello!) Sophie – God bless her – was the only polite one. She stood up and shook their hands.

    Once Charlene has the much needed heir for Albert I think the marriage will be in name only and both will find others if he hasn’t already. Although I keep reading about a rule the upper classes have and that is you stay faithfull until the first born then you can cheat all you want. I am surprised Charlene isn’t already pregnant but then she would need to have sex with him first. I don’t think Kate is flirting at all she has William and she has Harry two Princes for the price of one. Pippa would only be in it if she got a title out of it.

    As someone whose gf/bff is a Disney pin collecting nut I find the number of pins on his strap chuckle worthy. I’m totally picturing him walking around pin trading in the Olympic park.

    As for Kate *slow shrug* Idk…I guess…I know she’s an Olympic Ambassador but is it part of the job to be there everyday or is it a “Perk of the Ring” disguised as work? Good PR for RF either way I suppose. Does she not have light weight slacks, dress shorts, the long ones to stay conservative? Even multiple pairs (I hope) of the same jeggings and blazer are starting to look yucky.

    • GoodCapon says:

      I would have to say it’s part of the job and they’re probably going to count all of her attendances as work. According to the Court Circular she already had 3 engagements from Aug 3 – 9 (but nothing between July 27 – Aug 2, which is odd, did they not count the opening ceremony?)

      The RF has obviously gone for the ‘young royals over the older ones’ approach for the Olympics. Which I agree with you is good PR, but it would’ve been better if they asked the royals to attend the less popular events instead of concentrating on popular ones (athletics, gymnastics, swimming and equestrian) Those events would be totally fine and continue to be popular even without the royal support.

      I wonder if they’ll extend the same enthusiasm and support they’ve shown in the Olympics to the Paralympics, which is only a few weeks away.

      • Reece says:

        That’s why I wondered if it is considered work because she’s basically a spectator at the events. I figured it’s different than when I saw the pics of her and Harry with the athletes at Team GB house. That seems pretty ambassadorial. Being there and congratulating the athletes and all.
        I think it’s a little bit of media too. I’ve seen pics with Princess Anne and Prince Edward and others at events but in the back or foreground but the story was only about Will, Kate and Harry.
        Just have to wait and see for the Paralympics.

      What i find annoying is that Anne, as a member of the Olympic committee, as well as being RF has attended so many of the games but hardly received any coverage. Sometimes her hubby sits next to kate and the captioning journalist simply refers to him as a fan!!!!!

      That said, Rebecca, her LIW and her female protection officer can be seen in the background of many of the pictures, so whilst we can definitely say THEY are working…carrying and fetching for Waity, they also have the perk of attending all these events. It’s the only time i can say that i am jealous because i would have loved to attend as many Olympic events as possible. Even the dull ones like shooting.

      This is the same girl that wore the same brown suede boots for 5 years (the last two she found them in black) even in summer. Let me repeat BROWN SUEDE BOOTS in the SUMMER. Fashion icon my left foot. No fashionista worth her salt would own one pair of shoes. I remember when she finally got a new pair of shoes, some flats (she wore them for one day) and the DM almost had a conniption.

      She has no style (which is why she wears boring high street and established names. Even then she only wears like 6 or so different designers).

        ‘What I really don’t get is why on earth she is called a fashion icon in the media.’

        Because for these people, the only other alternative is to dress like a Kardashian. There doesn’t seem to be a balance when it comes to media reporting. Either you dress like a slut or you dress like a granny. It’s perfectly possible to go out looking classy and not look like you raided your older relatives’ closet.

        Kate doesn’t really have any style to begin with. It was only when she married Wills that she started dressing up, trying become what the media claims her to be (a fashion icon), only it’s not working.

    It sounds like people really studied these pictures to death, then came up with the wrong conclusions just to make it more “interesting.”

    As a poster above said, Albert is looking down at his cell phone, not at Kate. Look to the left of Kate’s hair – you can see the black square that is his cell phone.

    And second, the white-haired woman is laughing at something the MAN SITTING NEXT TO KATE said, not what Kate said. Look at the top photo – the woman and Kate (and the man sitting next to ALbert) are all listening with interest to what the man in the red shirt is saying. Then, in the photo where the woman is laughing, you can see the man sitting directly behind her looking PAST Kate, and toward where the man in the red shirt is sitting. Seems pretty clear that the laughter was caused by the man in the red shirt.

    I mean, MAYBE Albert has the hots for Kate (although I really don’t think Kate is his “type,” and neither is Charlene for that matter), and MAYBE Kate is a funny person, but neither of those things is apparent FROM THE PHOTOS. All the photos tell us is Albert was checking his cell phone, and the man in the red shirt said something funny.

      Oh, @benny,
      That is part of the fun – the fact that the pictures may not really show what we all say and imply, but if you just look at them thru half-closed eyes, with a lightheared humor, you can see all kinds of things happening and developing.
      This is a FUN blog, not a CNN coverage website. Remove that stick from your back side and join in the playful snark ;)

  28. Sachi says:

    Eh. She’s watching the games and she’s been “decent” for these few events. She looks nice in these photos. Not great, just so-so.

    The only things I notice are 1) her damn eyeliner that is more suitable for an evening event, and 2) her OCD hair-touching…she seems to have the need to flip, touch, and muss her hair constantly.

    I wonder how much time she spends curling her hair? I mean, every time she’s gone to these games, she’s always had those salon-perfect curls, even when she was wearing a ponytail. In those photos of her camping with the kids and ‘volunteering’ with the scouts, she had a ponytail, but her hair was still in curls.

    Her hair always looks like she just came from the salon, the gloss and the volume of her hair look professionally done all the time, even for simple, casual events. Her outfits look casual and plain, but her hairstyle is party-ready, as if she’s going to go clubbing right after.

    She always looks so made up, even when there’s no need to be.

      Oh, the hair tossing. So constant. I never understood why people would criticize Kate for this until I started to see for myself how excessively often she does it. It does have a certain detracting effect. If she doesn’t like ponytails, I wish she would at least wear her hair half up, half down from time to time. She’d likely still play with it even then, though.

      The eyeliner is never NOT noticeable, is it? Sigh. Well, at least her eyebrows don’t appear as aggressive in these shots.

      There are some people who master being primped without making it obvious just how much primping has gone into creating their look. Kate doesn’t quite fall into that category right now.

    Any way I noticed a few days ago that her badge had HRH, how did she get that if she doesn’t come from a titled family? I thought you had to have a title before hand (like Di was styled Lady before marrying Chuck) to receive HRH.

    • flower says:

      A wife automatically takes on the titles of her husband, be he just a humble Sir or Lord or an actual HRH, William is not only an HRH, but a Duke, an Earl and Baron as well, thus she became HRH when she married him.

      Waity is now officially HRH Cathrine Princess of Wales or Princess William Arthur Philip Louis,Duchess of Cambridge, Countess of Strathearn, Baroness Carrickfergus. (vomit)

    • Sachi says:

      Kate is a princess by marriage, so as flower said in the comment above mine, she took on William’s names and titles when they got married.

      In the event of a divorce, she’ll be stripped of her titles and be given a courtesy one.

      Sophie Wessex is also an HRH. She’s Princess Edward, and Countess of Wessex is among the titles she acquired when she got married.

      If Kate is made a Princess in her own right, she can use her given name instead of William’s, just like the York girls.

      The only “commoner” in the future Queens in Europe right now, who was made a Princess-by-right, is Princess Maxima of the Netherlands. She was made an HRH in her own right by the Queen, shortly before she married the Prince of Orange (heir to the throne). Even if Maxima divorces the future King, she will retain her HRH title and all the other titles that were bestowed upon her.

      Diana wasn’t styled Lady Diana. She was born Lady Diana Spencer, as the daughter of an earl. Boring nitpicking, but there it is. Her sisters are both Lady too.
