The general rule among the royal family is to avoid two competing major headlines about two royal figures at the same time. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge can make news and do events during Harry and Meghanâs tour, but they shouldnât try to suck up attention or make any big announcements while Harry and Meg are in Australia. William and Kate are rule-followers. They did a very low-key event at Kensington Palace this week: they met with the finalists for the BBC Radio One’s Teen Hero Awards and posed for some low-key photos which seem to have only been published on social media, and through the palace (meaning the press wasnât invited to this event).
For this low-key event in Kate and Williamâs home – basically? – Kate wore an off-the-rack polka-dotted dress from Whistles, which costs ÂŁ149. The burgundy shade feels autumnal, and the style is very âDiana in the â80s.â At some point, we just have to acknowledge that Kate isnât really doing tons of purposeful âthrowbacksâ to her late mother-in-law, itâs just that Kateâs style really is this â80s.
Anyway, this was Kateâs second âeventâ this week, coming after her âprivate meeting,â also at Kensington Palace. Reportedly, this is what Kateâs schedule is going to be like for the rest of 2018 – sheâs let it be known that sheâs not going to work âfull timeâ until next year. I still wonder if Kate and William will try for one more baby, don’t you?
Some photos from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridgeâs engagement on Wednesday have emerged, they gave a Reception at Kensington Palace for the finalists of BBC Radio Oneâs Teen Hero Awards.

Love her dress.
Kate very suddenly has been looking much older lately. At least to me. I think maybe after she lost the baby weight from Louis it just started to show her age a bit more?
I feel awful saying it but i agree- for people who don’t have the stress and grind of full time work on top of raising kids they have aged terribly. Too many Mustique holidays and cigs perhaps?
It is harsh but undeniable. I blame too much sun, cigarettes and small children. But they look happy and content and thats more important.
Three kids under 6. And crazy diets. I don’t think she looks bad at all, in fact she looks happy, just didn’t need to drop all the baby weight again and so soon.
Cute dress and overall she looks just confident.
If there’s one thing people regularly err on, it’s how young they look. Though I do love having to of course smile and tell colleagues how young they look when they fish for it, like we all do. She looks like a normal woman her age.
People are always referencing Kate and ciggies, when was the last time she was ever seen smoking cigarettes? I am sure it must be a decade ago.
Her make up has always been wrong and I suspect she isn’t the type that ages well.
She still looks pretty youthful to me. In my experience, women of my nationality tend to age rapidly after like 35/40 lol
so comparatively she looks young young young.
She looks like her age. We are so used to see celebs trying to look 10 years younger that we no longer recognize true aging on celebs or someone in the spotlight.
Kate, while attractive, has always looked older than her actual age since her late twenties IMO. Pippa looks older too. I think it’s mostly weight related, in Pippa’s case too much sun as well. Kate may have smoked and overtanned years ago but I see no indications that is part of her current lifestyle.
I think that Carole looks great now but also looked older in her younger years, so maybe the silver lining is that Kate (and Pippa) will be good-looking sexagenarians.
She looks like she is in her 30s. I think there’s a strange obsession for Western women to have to look younger. Looking your age is not an option. I deeply resent that. America is especially bad about it as most women we see in the commercials, in the movies, in the magazines are young, young, young. I also deeply resent that WOMEN are the ones that drive this “must look younger” train.
@Rhys: Well said. It’s disturbing to see so many people saying Kate looks old when she simply looks her age.
+1000000000000000000
How very dare a woman in her mid-thirties not look like a 25-year-old!
I agree. We mock women for showing signs of aging, and then mock them again if they get procedures to counter it.
I don’t think anyone here is saying she must look younger. I certainly didn’t mean it that way â she’s beautiful and I’d be lucky to look like her at 36! I only said that she looks older than she previously did since losing her pregnancy weight, and I suddenly find it quite noticeable. That’s all.
Well said, Rhys.
Kate’s always been a very conservative dresser and were she to don more ‘street’ style, she’d probably look much younger, complexion etc notwithstanding …..but why should she? She’s just herself.
I do agree that she’ll likely benefit in the public mind later on….she’ll look young at 50. Or at least, she’ll be the age she was best suited to be, visually; just as Charles looks infinitely more Chazza-like in his older self. (And William’s regaining his mojo I think, with the years)
(*waffles on for 94 more pages…..)
Thanks for this post, Rhys. You are so right. We criticize women for aging and we criticize them for trying to stay youthful through artificial means. It’s a no-win situation. I think Kate looks her age.
Lol she looks like a woman in her mid-thirties. That’s exactly what she is.
Yes and her weight definitely plays a big factor. Her natural body type/weight is athletic fit, not the super slim weâve seen in the last 7-8 years. Aging is normal and natural, but Iâm always reminded of that adage about having to choose between your body and your face.
She always looks younger when she gains a bit of weight in her face prior to getting pregnant.
IMO, she looked her absolute best in the first two, three months after Louis’ birth. Those extra 10 or so lbs. gave her face that *little* bit of fullness that made her look so much younger! If you look at that pic of her at the Polo game with George and Char (when she was wearing that sleeveless Zara dress), she looked FABULOUS. The outfit was youthful, her hair wasn’t curled up, and she looked great.
She’s lost quite a bit of weight since giving birth. Plus she spent her 20s tanning and smoking and dieting, which is killer. She tends to look much younger with a few extra pounds on.
All middletons seem haggard since Prince Henry Wales marry and we have a professional hardworking Duchess of Sussex around to show how your status blessed as HRH is done!
See gran middleton Qn carol visiting daughter pip at HOME. NO rush to the hospital steps PR interview against granpa POW – HM – RF for this NON royal baby.
I think she looks fine. She’s just not J-Lo is all (though I think her body might be as fit as J-Lo’s.).
I don’t think I’d ever confuse her for older than her current age. She’s just not one of those child-women like Natalie Portman or Winona Ryder, who are unusual in terms of how youthful they’ve always looked.
She could have a different make-up artist, but I like that she doesn’t do her make-up like Melania Trump, to be honest. I don’t think everyone has to follow the trends of the Kardashians.
She’s a 36 years old woman so this is how a 36 years old woman looks.
She’s a 36 year old woman with her genes and habits. And this is the result.
I don’t think she looks 36. I’d put her at early 40s. Both her and William have aged terribly and considering they are lazy it is surprising
She does not look 36. I would put her at 42/43 for sure. It really hits home when you see the odd image that an editor has forgotten to photoshop. And yes there will be a 4th kid coming.
Thats funny because I was thinking the exact OPPOSITE.
She did have three babies back to back. Itâs hard on the body. But honestly, I know plenty of women her age who look the same – maybe worse if they werenât fans of sunscreen.
Beyond that, late thirties is where aging sets in and body versus face becomes a real issue for some people with more angular faces. Sheâs very slim, which leaves no fat to offset any facial changes.
My mother did back to back. Pregnant with me six weeks after giving birth to my bro, and on my first birthday, she was nine months pregnant. Kate had one every 2 years, not exactly back to back.
I like her dress, too!
I think sheâs looking good, actually.
Growing old isnât an evil unless we make it so (we do so for women especially). I would love to see her go the Patricia Clarkson path: no fillers, lines and wrinkles, but radiant.
I”m thinking she’ll have another baby
I hope not. Three is more than enough.
Oh please.
For some, and not for others.
Oh please what?
@Kittycat – plus William feels so strongly against overpopulation, given his recent speech. I’d hope he puts his money where his mouth is…but somehow I doubt it.
@royalwatcher. I hope he does. Wealthy Westerners have enormous carbon footprints (and I don’t mean wealthy like W&K, I mean like anyone with their own car) and ought to confine themselves to three at the absolute most. I know it’s harsh, and I’m not judging anyone who’s on their way to four, but it is what’s needed for the planet.
@Hoopjumper: I would even say two at the most. Aside from the massive carbon footprint, consequent climate change etc. we are running out of natural resources on a global level. The point in a year at which our demand for natural resources exceeds what the planet can renew was in August.
I usually have quite heated discussions on this topic because IMO having more than 2 kids is the ultimate egoism.
+1M
@Kitty!
How about the lazy waity dollittle middleton – 7 going on 17 years freeloading with all the millions from British taxpayers/RF now start serious Royal Duties.
The Firm POW may have ordered middleton to appear since there is Nanny/ies – large staff at home) for this event at her door step; especially with The Duchess Sussex performing so much more and Very Hectic Tour Invictus —–after only a year announced as the HRH Princess Henry and now with Royal baby on the way.
This is ridiculous. Scientists have proven repeatedly that population is not the problem but rather the inequitable distribution of natural resources that is the problem. For every couple that has 4 kids there is a couple who has one kid or remains childless.
Enough Already, I completely agree society needs children, and there should be an equitable amount of resources for everyone.
Also, when did it become okay to dictate how many kids a couple should have? I realize tax payers pay a lot toward the royal family, but the answer is not to think you pretty much own them and can dictate their lives, the answer is to get rid of them.
That is sexist period, for a woman to say to any women what decisions she should make on her womb choices. If she wants to have kids, IT IS HER CHOICE.
Like an scroungers, they can have as many kids as they like, go for it, have 10. But the tax payer is subsidizing them. So yes, we will pass judgement.
@enoughalready Exactly, which is why we’re talking, quite explicitly, about wealthy Westerners.
https://www.independent.co.uk/environment/children-carbon-footprint-climate-change-damage-having-kids-research-a7837961.html
You know what, I didn’t have kids. Kate can have my allotment of two if she wants. There ya go: all evened up. Jeez!
Yep, I was referring to wealthy Westerners in my comment.
But: an increasing number of non-western countries are starting to follow a Western lifestyle. What will happen if countries like India or China start using natural gas, oil etc. like the U.S. / the west does?
E.g. Current number of cars per 1000 people:
India: 80
China: 160
US: 900
Figures are similar for electricity used per capita etc. in these countries and are – IMO understandably – expected to increase dramatically.
So having more children HAS a huge impact.
@Elisa It’s a very interesting topic. I’m a huge climate alarmist; have been so since I was politically aware, and am in my mid-30s. I have two children, but very much hope to have more. No one knows what tomorrow will bring. I already recycle clothing, and my goal is to raise my children to be farmers, plumbers, weavers; to not be people with huge carbon footprints, but to work as best they are able to alleviate the gross consumerism and waste of our age. Stories of China’s loneliest generation (and seeing the contrasting patterns b/t the small and large families throughout my own life, including near-by farmers with large families) have made me re-think my population anxieties. Not saying Kate would be able to raise her kids in such a way, but there’s more nuance to this issue than is often portrayed.
Like the dress! UK maternity leave is something like 9 months, right? If so I think it’s totally fine that she’s not working.
I understand the average woman needing nine months maternity leave from working 9 to 5, the commute, organizing childcare and all the other aspects of being a working mother, but do you really need maternity leave from being a royal? They don’t have grueling commutes, they only stay an hour or so at an engagement. There’s prep work but that could be done at home. Maybe do one day of engagements a week and stay home the other six?
@Susannah That’s literally what she’s doing? She’s working part time for the rest of the year, when her maternity leave is up. So she’s doing exactly what you hoped.
@ RedTop, I was hoping more like out visiting the elderly and patients in hospitals. Doing something like that once a week might really pick up the spirits of people in old age homes, hospices, etc. Sort of like Diana did.
She’s not taking leave FROM being a royal. She is taking maternity leave TO spend that time mostly with her baby. It doesn’t matter what her job is. She’s still entitled to a maternity period to care for and spend time with her baby. The baby benefits from this greatly, as well.
Her work ethic is a while other topic. A completely valid topic, but a while other topic.
Nine months for WORKING womenand maybe dads….
Waity dollitle middleton has done neither – since the whole middleton family decide to hang on to Willnot, some 17 years.
Kate’s entire life is maternity leave. Trying to say otherwise is an insult to real working parents who are scraping to get by while Kate and William continue to suck on the government teat and doing essentially nothing.
Of course she doesn’t work as hard as the working class does. None of these royals do, not even Meghan. She should still receive time off regardless of how you feel about her, because I think all women should have a chance to heal and bond with their babies.
@MeghanNotMarkle MIC DROP
She doesn’t work. She has all the time in the world to spend with her children and still has multiple nannies. What message are they sending to their children when they openly say that working parents are bad parents? They are the pinnacle of privilege so the least they can do is stop pretending like their lives aren’t already one giant parental leave.
It’s not entirely about if Kate needs maternity leave, but if her children need her to have maternity leave.
Will and Kate have a smaller workload on purpose. All this “they don’t work” is silly because it’s intentional. Elizabeth and Charles didn’t have the time to spend with their young children and that pattern is being stopped with the Cambridges. They’re actually trying to raise well adjusted children who have strong, loving relationships with their parents.
I highly doubt we will ever see George as king…either because of abdication or other world changes. Let them be.
You see that argument kind of falls apart when you look at the work schedule of the Countess of Wessex who managed to raise two very fine, well adjusted children while working quite hard on behalf of the Queen. This has been debated and discussed on Celebitchy for a long time and at the end of the day there is no reason or excuse to justify William and Catherineâs unwillingness to work at the level they should. William seems to have gotten the memo and is seen working more. It remains to be seen if there will be any change in Catherine. Iâll say it again that itâs horses**t that Catherine needs to do little in order to raise well adjusted kids. If there is a will thereâs a way. Lack of will is the reason period.
Sophie and Edward have a much higher workload than Wiliam and Kate at the same stage and no one is suggesting that Lady Louise and James are maladjusted. The Queen did tours where travel took months to get to places like Australia but even by the time Charles and Diana did the work they were able to do it and not be away from their children that long. Charles and Diana had a fractious marriage and that is what affected them. Not the work. Diana never complained that it was the work keeping her away from the kids. This is William just not wanting to do the work like his parents have done.
Publicly saying that working parents are bad parents and the cause of society’s breakdown isn’t healthy or well adjusted. They are simply raising their children with the entitlement of not working because that would make them bad parents.
Kate fans on twitter and IG were SO MAD that KP hadn’t posted a picture on their IG yet from this event but were posting all these pictures of the Australian tour lol.
Anyway – I like this dress. It’s a little 80s, but it also looks nice on her and appropriate for the event. Her hair looks nice too.
Well they should post both Wills and Harry as well as their wives. People are paying for them, they should be seen.
Pretty. I’m not usually a fan of polka-dots, but I like the dress and the reasonable price. Her hair has been looking better lately
Same! Iâm not crazy about polka dots but I like this.
I don’t care for the dress, but her hair looks super nice. I think they’re done having kids, I always thought Kate would want three children because she’s one of three.
I’m one of four. Two of us had 2 children and the other two of us had one child. Apparently none of us wanted to duplicate what we grew up with.
I’m one of 14, needles to say, I had 4; and I’m Ugandan so 4 in my country is considered “small” family. Nuff said.
Yes I believe sheâs said or at least implied that. Will wanted two kids and Kate wanted three because of her own childhood.
I like the dress and Kate generally looks a lot more laid back and comfortable. I guess I probably would be if I didn’t even have to leave my home to go to work though.
She looks different after this baby! I canât put my finger on it…itâs not a good or bad change, just different! Wish I could figure it out!
Maybe laying off the incredibly dark eyeliner? It feels like sheâs doing her make up differently. She looks fresher.
Okay, Iâm not the only one. I canât pinpoint it either, but something is different.
She looks good, I think, happier. More confident?
I think they both look more relaxed, happier, and happier with each other. I also think, esp. in Will’s case, he’s come to terms with who he is and what his life entails. He’s more engaged at events, and seems to be connecting more with the people at these events on a personal, genuine level. Kate seems to be more genuinely involved at the events she’s done as well, and seems like she’s really enjoying it.
The dress suits her but I wish she would do something different with her hair – the sausage curls age her a bit.
It was an unplanned event and was made to sounds like she just tagged along with William. This has don’t forget about meeeeeeeeeeeeee written all over it.
If she does any work, it’s ascribed to her jealousy of Meghan’s attention. If she doesn’t, she’s a lazy do-nothing. If she wears an expensive dress, she’s a thoughtless leech. If she wears an inexpensive dress, she’s trying to win favor compared to Meghan’s choices. Do you have any idea how you judge this woman in the worst possible light, all the time?
That’s what I was thinking. Kate has been using designer clothes AND cheaper dresses all those years. But now if she does it, it’s because she wants to show she can save money? Come on. Those two women are living their lives, nobody is competing. There are petty Kate fans, but that’s not her fault. If we start to use anything to criticize Kate as they do with Meghan, we are not being better, just petty as them.
@Nikki the answer to your question is no. She’ll never do anything right for some.
Digital Unicorn,
What exactly do you want from her??? I’m curious because you criticize her for working and you criticize her for not working.
Nikki and Enn,
I agree with you both. The hate toward her is getting so exhausting. I feel bad for her.
I’m a British tax payer so I pay for her lifestyle and I expect her to work more than she does. She is never consistent in her engagements, as history tells us that there are period where she is rarely seen (not talking about maternity leave) and then there are periods when there is a flurry of events.
As a senior royal she should and can do more – TQ had small children when she became Queen and was able to be a mother and Queen. I want her to do more and be consistent. If she was a company employee she would have been sacked long ago for her attitude to work. William is doing more, he is finally stepping up to take responsibilities for his duties as heir. I know he doesn’t really want to be King but she wanted this life, chased after it for 10 years – she needs to grow up and act like a professional. Their lazy image will be hard to shake but they need to be consistent and show a work ethic. So far am not seeing much of that from either of them, esp when you compare them against other senior Royals.
I don’t know…it appears Kate’s being doing more events recently. Maybe not enough to satisfy you Digital Unicorn or other British taxpayers. I understand that but I also don’t understand the fawning over Prince Harry either though or any royal.
Then why do you say “don’t forget about meeeeee” every time she does an event?
She’ll be queen soon enough and not have a free moment. Let her take it easy while their young and enjoy and raise a happy family.
Well, how can she do more if she doesnât, you know, do more? If itâs called âdonât forget about me?â
@Kacy the plan after HM passes is to streamline the monarchy and dump a ton of these patronages so no, she won’t be that busy. The younger royals already expressed their disdain and desire to cut the bread & butter engagements. I’ve a feeling a lot of people are just holding out until Betty shuffles off her mortal coil to start discussing the lack of need for a monarchy- or at least not supporting them so heavily. Lord knows here in the US we’d really like to not have to pay for hundreds of golf trips while our country burns, and I get a similar sentiment from my personal friends in the UK and Commonwealth countries.
@Kacy â ânot have a free moment?â
Are you serious? Her entire life is and will remain basically âa free moment.â
FFS.
This wasnât an unplanned event, but it wasnât announced ahead of time. I think it might be because they hadnât officially announced the winners yet, which is why they didnât immediately release the photos. She and Will also hosted the Teen Heroes last year: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HmpGTvQSJck
Sheâs not going to work full time the rest of this year….. or ever.
Buttons!
Yes, how utterly shocking that a shirtdress has buttons on it.
Lolllllll I know. What do all these people think clothing is usually done up with?
The dress is pretty meh. I’m more wowed by the outfit the young woman to the very right is wearing, the matching white striped pants and blazer with the black camisole. Love the outfit!!
me too! Was going to comment just to say this- LOVE that girl’s outfit.
That’s Clara Amfo. Radio 1 DJ and present
I came here for the same thing, Amelie! Her suit is fabulous!
I thought the same thing. Duke and Duchess remain pretty meh- their titles get them plenty of attention that their appearances and personalities wouldn’t normally garner.
But that sister in the white suit is FLY from head to toe. This is what style and charisma can do for a body. She immediately captures attention in each of the photos she is in.
She looks great! But are those veneers? SO DISTRACTING.
The young lady in the white and black stripe suit is fierce.
Congratulations to all of the Recipients.
It’s not that Kate’s style is 80s, it’s that right now, fashion is having an 80s revival.
Exactly, any look at whatâs in stores, or what people are wearing, makes it pretty clear that Kate is very mildly 80s compared to whatâs out there. She looks nice, and as always she is not too trendy but rather on the middle curve of trends.
Iâm goinf to say something quite nice: if there is going to be constant new clothes on young British Royal women, I appreciate that she is wearing something more affordable/within the means of other women
I’m gad she is back đ and for sure there will be one more child, like QEII and Prince Philip. It is OK, because they makes wonderfull babies.
She is TOTALLY going to go for a baby. I think she likes the privacy and hands off-ness afforded to her during pregnancy & having young children. Plus I think the focus going to Harry & Meghan over their children is going to be crazy…interpret as you will.
Willie better book in his snip then. Get fixed up. He said in public more than once he only wanted 2 kids.
…I don’t know if “old” is the right word, or if Kate isn’t just the most tense person out there under the media microscope.
Combine tense with too much working out and that’s where you get this look.
Kate also has remarkable self-control, but she doesn’t always seem to get release and all that pent-up energy can turn on your nervous system. For example, she was the most stiff and overwrought looking bride I’ve ever seen. Not even time has softened the ‘first impression’ effect in those wedding photos. She needs to stop working out, she has adrenal fatigue.
I was watching a tv show recently in which one character was described as âa clenched fist with hairâ and I thought of Kate đ¤
(Not in that top photo, but generally)
Goth chick on the left..đđđđđđđđđđ¸
She is thoroughly unimpressed with all this and is amazing.
I think Catherine looks very nice. As someone who is more quiet and reserved in my clothing choices, I really like what she wears honestly. I think she looks very smart and timeless.
I love her dress. She looks great! If that means I have crappy fashion sense, so be it.
Harry released that unprecedented statement where he first announced to the world that he was dating Meghan, while his father & Camilla had just began an important overseas trip to the Middle East. According to reporters that were there, Charles received no warning & the statement took him by surprise & completely overshadowed the trip.
Harry clearly doesn’t care about dropping a major bombshell when another senior royal is on tour, so don’t see why other royals should stop what they’re doing because of him
I think it is unfair of you to gloss over the fact that Meghan was being attacked by racists in the media and Harry was afraid for her. It was an urgent warning and he probably felt he didnât have a lot of time to waste issuing the statement. I imagine the poor guy was beside himself with anxiety and it was a terrible position to be in. Have a little empathy for cripes sake.
Harry’s statement could have waited for another week, it was not a life or death situation. He should have shown courtesy to his father & Camilla by making them aware of his plans & holding off the statement after they had finished their tour. What Harry did derailed his father’s important trip & that is unacceptable.
@Civic Unacceptable to you, perhaps, but it strikes me as too extreme a word.
I vaguely recall that, prior to the release of Harry’s statement, “journalists” had violated some important boundaries in their attempts to break that story (an attempted break in, perhaps?). Given the circumstances under which his mother died, I think Harry reacted impulsively & emotionally, with a (possibly misplaced) sense of urgency. An undesirable reaction, yes, but an understandable one (at least to me). He was afraid.
As for media coverage, EDITORS have a duty to cover important stories. If focus was pulled from Charles’ trip, surely it was because worldwide interest wasn’t strong ENOUGH, no?
There was NO attempted break-in. Toronto Police confirmed nothing happened. So basically Kensington Palace lied lolll
And you should tell Charles that because he threw a hissy fit when his tour was overshadowed.
I think 3 kids is enough. No offense but her children and herself lives off of taxpayers money.
She looks lovely.
Very beautiful women but would look better with extra weight, but, she has so much scrutiny presss itâs probably related too pressures of it all.
I see these types of dresses quite frequently in the stores nowadays. I figured maybe they were in style now.
Sorry guys but she doesn’t look like “a woman in her thirties”. Even a British one!! None of my relatives or friends look remotely this old – they use good sunblock, skin care and don’t smoke.
Kate has eye bags the size of Mustique.
British women are not uniform. Some age rapidly, some look much younger than their age (like Rachel Weisz and Helena Bonham Carter). As with all nationalities, itâs about sunscreen, hydration, avoiding smoking, and genetics.
LOL Kate looks like the 30 yr old she is. As does Meghan. Why shouldn’t they?
I do think see the heavily made up Kardashians, all the other plastic Instagram “models”, Hollywood women with fake boobs and botox at age 21, we have this weird expectation for the women over 30, 40 to look like living dolls.
She looks fine, I think years of being in the sun didn’t help too much, but honestly she looks like all the women I see in real life. Having just a bit more weight on her frame always makes her look better for sure, but otherwise she just looks like what a mother of three, at her age should look like.
She has a boring fashion sense, as does Meghan, with very few “WOW” looks. This dress is fine, low-key & suitable for the event, even if its a bit dowdy for my personal taste.
The dress is dowdy but that’s normal for Kate. Other than that it’s fine. Not my style but the cut and color are nice. She just looks like a bobblehead again with her super thin frame and oversized hair. She looks so much healthier with a few extra pounds on her. Or at least some muscle to add some shape to her body.
If i were ever in a position with massive public exposure/influence, like Kate, William, Meghan and Harry – I would spend my time doing REAL meaningful charitable “work” such as helping in a soup kitchen, collecting donations for food banks, visiting animal shelters, etc…not swanning around in expensive designer clothing (while visiting poor or sick people, no less!) bitching about basically everything, and changing pretty much nothing. Everyday “commoners” do real, life-changing charitable work every single day, in non-desinger clothing, often after working an actual job and taking care of their families…yet many people act like the royals are so special and deserving of their ridiculous and unearned wealth. They’re not.
Sorry for the rant but I see so many hard working people struggling to get by but who still give all that they can to help others – without having to be compensated with insane wealth and privilege like these spoilt royals.
Its time people sought out and celebrated those who are truly making a difference in this world rather than idolizing these lazy people because they happen to be pretty or wear nice clothing.
So true!
Helping out in soup kitchen’s is very laudable but it doesn’t raise millions of pounds in the way that the royal family can, by swanning around in designer clothes and shaking hands with the high and mighty, rich and wealthy. To be fair the only people who have been wearing ‘designer’ clothes are Diana, Kate and Meghan. Diana did it before the internet age got hold so their was not much copying….all though I bought a pair of Russell and Bromley suede loafers like Diana had probably form the same High St Ken branch she got hers from. Kate and Meghan are making a whole heap of money for the fashion industry which trickles down to the High St. Remember the famous words uttered by the Merly Streep in the Devil Wears Prada?
I donât like the dress. It looks like something I wore in the 80s as a hard up single parent. But why is Catherine judged on what she wears? So many comments as if sheâs a model not a working Royal. The dress is fine for work if old fashioned and thatâs just my opinion. If only the Royals could be assessed on what they do and influence rather than âglamourâ
The thing is, if they werenât âglamorous,â no one would pay attention to them or even know their names (not that I agree with this, but itâs the world we live in!). And their whole purpose is to call attention to their various causes and patronages. But first, people need to be invested in following them in the first place.
Because Catherine doesnât do enough work of substance for anyone to spend much time talking about.
