Princess Kate wore Ralph Lauren for Day 2 of the anniversary trip to Scotland

Here are some photos of Prince William and Kate, aka the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay, in Mull and Iona today. This is the second day in the Scottish Isles, their little anniversary trip to look at sheep and wander around various scenic isles. I have to admit that these photos are doing a good job in getting people interested in the beauty of Mull and Iona. The landscapes are gorgeous and the little towns on the islands seem charming. For some of today’s activities, Will and Kate joined a troop of Ardura Acorns, “an outdoor learning group on the island that champions 0 to 5-year-olds and their caretakers through activities like walking nature trails, den building, animal tracking and storytelling.” Kate managed to avoid groping William in front of the children.

For today’s events, Kate once again went with skinny jeans, perhaps even the same pair as yesterday. Interestingly, she chose a Ralph Lauren jacket today. I told you that Kate found inspo in Meghan’s Ralph Lauren pantsuit – Kate’s jacket and chambray shirt yesterday were very Meghan-coded, and now she’s wearing Ralph Lauren too? It’s clear that she fastidiously updates her Meghan mood-board, but I kind of wish she would actually just copy Meghan’s outfits completely rather than put her own keen spin on them.

I’ll pay one compliment to both Will and Kate – I’m in awe of the state of their knees. I would not be able to crouch down like that for any length of time and I’m only a few years older than them. They both seem to have good joint health.

    The outfits look about the same as yesterday, the tight jeans she wears but the jacket now has pockets. William looks scruffy and sullen.

    My dad always said Iona was beyond beautiful, my parents visited it more than once and just loved it

    Nice anniversary wiglet

    • ShazBot says:

      Yeah, everyone all excited that she “put blonde highlights” in her hair but this is the most obvious wiglet I’ve seen on her in awhile. Zero blending and you can absolutely see exactly where it’s plopped on top of her head in every photo from yesterday and today. Her real hair is still darker brown so it’s even more obvious.

    • Josephine says:

      It’s so awful and dated. She desperately needs to cut her hair and modernize her look. The wiglet and skinny jeans combo is depressing. Would be nice to see her lighten up, embrace a look of her own, and take on a more sophisticated style. She always dresses way too young or way too old.

      • kelleybelle says:

        Agree completely! She refuses though because Meghan will keep her long hair. And if Kate does update her look, the rota rats will of course say that Meghan is jealous. Count on it.

  4. Beverley says:

    Those skinny jeans are hideous. Even the tabloids think so.

    • Jais says:

      I’m not anti-skinny jeans. But even I feel these are a very painted-on suction cup choice. Not all skinny jeans are equal. Some are cute and work. These…are a choice.

      • KC says:

        How else can she prove how much thinner she is than everyone else.

      • Jais says:

        Listen, it’s possible that Kate is threatened by Meghan’s post-baby body and long legs and wants to make sure we know she’s really really thin too. As if it were ever in question. Idk. I’d like to think these pants are just v comfortable and somehow comforting to her. There is clearly something she loves about about these skin-tight jeans. But at this point, I’m kind of like why not just do yoga pants? And I don’t mean that shady. Yoga athletic pants can be made to look cute too. I don’t care about royal protocols. It’s more just that it seems like it would be a more comfortable way to wear form-fitting pants. But maybe that’s just me concern trolling. So whatever, carry on.

    • BeanieBean says:

      These are different from yesterday’s. These have flap pockets on the thighs + yesterday’s were brown, these are green.

  5. Shanta says:

    Willie gives off that “Melania” vibe. We all know that Melania can’t stand trump…..its all over her face. Willie has that same look😆……

  6. Ameerah M says:

    Why is she always wearing frilly-ass shirts with her casual looks? WHY??

  7. Libra says:

    How many assistance are along for the romantic anniversary trip? Hair, wardrobe, make up, security.?

  8. Amy G says:

    These photos (because of the clothes) yell “fall” to me — not sure this will get people visiting in the spring / summer. Also strange that her outfit looks so close to yesterday’s.

  9. Blogger says:

    This strikes me more of a Jecca cosplay than Meghan.

  10. Becks1 says:

    Minus the blazer I think this is pretty typical for Kate – its her “upscale country” look that she wears for various farm trips and the like. Usually she would wear a field jacket or a plaid blazer though but this is pretty standard kate, right down to the uncomfortable looking jeggings. I do think its weird though that she is either wearing the same jeans as yesterday or jeans that are so similar they might as well be yesterday’s.

    • BeanieBean says:

      No, they’re different. These are green & have pockets on the thighs (utterly useless since the jeans themselves are so tight).

    • Jais says:

      The two looks back to back are v similar though. Dare I say a uniform of sorts. Not the worst thing but I think the BM is bored by it.

  11. L4Frimaire says:

    So many Scottish manufacturers of tweed and designers that could be promoted but she chose to wear an American brand instead? That makes no sense to me but typical.

    • Blogger says:

      Pretty much. She dislikes supporting local SCOTTISH industry. Like her Caribbean disaster trip.

      She does like her horse cosplay though she doesn’t ride. Lazy the fantasist, always pretending and pretending.

    • Jais says:

      That’s a fair assessment. Did she wear any Scottish brands? I’m trying to remember where yesterday’s blazer was from.

    • Calliope says:

      Yes exactly! So many Scottish (British/Welsh/NIrish, where applicable) brands and manufacturing to support but she does nothing! It’s mind-boggling. It’s shopping; you’d think she’d enjoy it. If she’s going to copy Meghan, at least also copy the picking local. It’s so frustrating; but, like always, a huge platform to help and she doesn’t do it.

  12. Amy Bee says:

    Her outfit is almost identical to the one she wore yesterday. She could have styled her differently to give an indication that these photos are not the same as the ones from yesterday.

    • BeanieBean says:

      I’m reminded of the time she traveled somewhere & brought two, nearly identical, handbags. Same style, color, & size, but different brands. WHY?? Same thing here. Why??

    • Jais says:

      I think this is what the press means by being bored. Kp tried to tell them she didn’t want to be known for what she wears anymore. The press pitched a fit and so now she’s giving them back to back similar looks.

    • SarahCS says:

      That’s a good point. Back in the day they would do multiple outfit changes so it looked like they were far busier than they actually were when people looked at the archives. Now it’s bare minimum all the way.

    That picture of the Waleses with their arms around each other’s waists is so cold. BP must have told them no more Hallmark videos raassleing in the ground.

  14. Hypocrisy says:

    A two day trip with one pair of ugly skintight spandex jeans.. the landscape would be even more beautiful if these two were not in the photos.. this is so dull I’m sure the kids will be dragged out soon once again.

  15. Dee says:

    So much meh. They look bored and tired. Nothing about these photos makes me want to tour this area.

  16. Tricia says:

    Good joint health. Lol. This is what the monarchy has come to now.

  17. BeanieBean says:

    Where’s this ‘ancient woodland’ the tabloid writers spoke of?? Where’s my big dang trees?? What I’m seeing in the background of these photos look pretty sparse & thin (and therefore young).

  18. tamsin says:

    I think this is Kate’s “style” whether or not it’s cosplay of Meghan or Jecca. I agree that the colours are fall colours and a “spring ” colour somewhere would have been nice. The picture of the backs of the pair with their arms around each other is not romantic at all, but they do look like a couple of friends.

  19. Lau says:

    Their joints have to be healthy given how lazy they are.
    Her current style is Countryside Meghan.

  20. AC says:

    M’s Ralph Lauren outfit was stylish and looked comfortable at the same time. The colors were uplifting and fresh. And sold out. But not just that she gave an inspirational interview. Complete package.
