Duchess Kate switched to jeggings & her Seeland jacket for the Orkney outing

Duke and Duchess of Cambridge tour of Scotland

The Countess of Strathearn changed out of her “fifty shades of beige” look halfway through the day on Tuesday. While many of you disagreed, I liked that earlier look with the wide-leg trousers, a smart beige coat and brown sweater. It looked fine on her, especially given that she often wears terrible stuff. Well… it’s been a while since we’ve seen Kate in keen jeggings, but I guess she felt like dusting off a pair for the trip to Orkney. I get that it was a day full of activities like “take a boat ride” and “go on a walkabout” and “have a stiff drink on a pier.” I get that she wanted to wear something more comfortable than the fifty shades of beige look. But jeggings? Really? Why can’t she just wear plain old jeans? Why does it have to be skin-tight jeggings? So inappropriate for work-wear for a duchess/countess. Other fashion notes: her jacket here is from Seeland and she’s worn it before. The boots are See by Chloe and I’m sure she’s worn those before as well.

During the walkabout, a little boy asked Kate “Are you the prince?” Which…maybe the journalists misheard? Kate then responded: “No, I’m not the prince, I’m the Duchess of Cambridge… Lots of people call me Catherine.” No one but William calls her Catherine! Maybe Pippa calls her that too now, but everyone else just calls her Kate. Stop trying to make “Catherine” happen!

Random photos – William’s posture is so bad and in profile, he really does give off angry bird vibes. Kate really did have a stiff drink on the pier and she seemed quite happy about it, although I have not seen any photos of Kate sipping that mug full of whiskey (I think it’s whiskey, perhaps scotch).

    Oh gawd, she’s gone full on manic laugh again. Why does no-one tell her that these over exaggerated facial expressions are just awful? Does no-one ever say ‘no’ to this precious pair?

    • Mtec says:

      And her forehead is frozen solid. No one can tell me that’s not due to botox lol.

      • Becks1 says:

        That’s why I don’t fully understand why she insists on doing those big expressions. It makes the botox so obvious – in the one picture where she is laughing with her nose scrunched up there is no movement on her forehead, minimal movement between her eyes and around the sides of her eyes. I just did a similar laugh in the mirror and it all moved.

      • Merricat says:

        I think that’s exactly why she does exaggerate her expressions, to give the impression that she is not frozen; she doesn’t understand that it makes her forehead stand out like a block of ice.

      • Eurydice says:

        @Becks1 – too funny, I just did the same thing. I can just see thousands of people around the world all scrunching their faces in front of the mirror to see if their foreheads move.

      • Mac says:

        I’ve been botoxing since I was 30. I strongly recommend it. I told my new doctor I was 50 and she asked to see my ID.

      • Becks1 says:

        @Mac I’m definitely going to botox in a few years – I’m 39, I’m putting it off until maybe 45ish? I’ve heard that once you start you just need to keep going.

        I don’t shame Kate for the botox in general, but by this point it is SO obvious, you can pretty much track her injections.

      • Calibration says:

        Mac I think it’s luck of the draw too. I’m nearly 60 and most people think I’m mid 40s. No botox, skin treatment, sunscreen or even moisturiser unless dead dry, and super fair.

        It’s not just botox for Kate, she’s photoshopped within an inch of her life. Normal pics she looks so much older.

      • Commonwealthy sounded witty at first says:

        Imagine what a win it would be/have been if she’d said “yes, I do get Botox. I love my role, it’s a real privilege, but there’s a lot of pressure being photographed so much and this helps my confidence a little. I think many of us, especially women, feel the pressure of looking youthful forever, can’t we?” It would resonate with so many people, and humanise her. I’ve said before I don’t understand why the narrative has to be “perfect future future Queen who is quiet elegance personified and hasn’t put a foot wrong since 2017.” Whose idea is that? I suppose their core audience of conservatives likes this narrative, but it does such a disservice to her. No one is perfect. People (moi, je suis people) love Beyoncé/Meghan/insert person you Stan because we see their humanity alongside their beauty and success. This narrative of perfection is why Kate has so many anti-Meghan online fans compared with pro-Kate online fans.

      • GRUEY says:

        I fucking looooove botox and (not to brag) my forehead still moves! Seriously my injector just did a sprinkling across my chin and the results are amazing. I have a theory that injectors in the UK aren’t that great. I see a lot of shit work coming out of there. I do suspect Meghan’s had a sprinkling now and then, but she has a deft handed LA injector.

      • Mac says:

        @Gruey – I had my chin done for the first time a few ago. I can’t believe the difference.

      • BothSidesNow says:

        That’s the first thing I noticed!! Her forehead is frozen solid! I bet if a mosquito stuck her on the forehead, it would die.

      • (The OG) Jan90067 says:

        Gruey and Mac, when you “inject your chin” is that for your jawline? Does it firm it up? I have pretty good skin for 64, but have gotten those “turkey wobble” hangs coming from an otherwise slim neck (ugh!!). If I could get someone to grab me by the scruff of the neck for pictures, you’d never guess my age! Lol

    • Size Does Matter says:

      The last time I saw that expression it was on a donkey who came up to my car window to take animal food pellets out of my hand in a drive-thru zoo.

    • Belle says:

      I am sorry, but this is so mean. I get its an opinion etc, but still. I laugh the same way, big expression and all and I have zero movement on my forehead. It shows under the eyes, mouth and nose areas. I have never had an botox, fillers etc. Not saying she hasn’t but that’s not the point.

      • Robin says:

        Belle, I think this, too. People don’t all laugh in the same way or the same place. Different muscles get pulled because of different bone structures. I think she laughs mainly because she is very nervous and it is a stress reliever. It also means that she seems engaged without having to talk, which I believe she has problems with. The difficult thing is, the skin under her eye is weak and she is making it worse by laughing like this, which probably makes her more nervous. I would hate to be famous.

      • Maria says:

        I don’t feel much sympathy for people who assist in bullying their pregnant suicidal in laws.
        If Botox or an exaggerated smile is the worst someone can say about her that’s fairly decent.

  2. Likeyoucare says:

    Scotland doesnt have covid?
    Or everyone there had taken their vaccine?

  3. Woke says:

    Something was bothering me about her fifty shades of beiges look and I figured it out. This hairstyle doesn’t suit her at all but she seems to quite like it.

    • Ronaldinhio says:

      She looks dire – sadly. She has such a great frame for all sorts of fashion. I know clearly not her thing but I wish it were.
      Catherine will be her Queen name
      We will hear a lot more Catherine to come

  4. Aurora says:

    She’s really loading up on the wiglets lately.

  5. Kalana says:

    Will and Kate seem so pointless.

    • Hell Nah! says:

      @Kalana: They absolutely are. It would be impossible not to notice.

      #AbolishTheMonarchy

    • Robin says:

      I know. And I think they know it. They had their chance to have a point and stay relevant, and they blew it. I think William is fully aware and can’t be bothered. I think she’s aware, too, but is desperate to hang on; she’s lived for this goal for decades. (Posted in the wrong place! A response to the poster who said they seem so pointless.)

  6. My3cents says:

    And the wiglets are back…

  7. Nomegusta says:

    She looks happier with that mug than with her husband.

    Her mouth said nothing, but her eyes said ‘leave the bottle’

    • Cecilia says:

      I haven’t seen kate so genuinely happy in a while as when she got poured that drink.

    • schlussel says:

      the whiskey was actually for ceremonially christening the turbine they were visiting – there were photos of Kate throwing it over the side of the pier. but I wouldn’t blame her for taking a cheeky nip!

    • IMARA219 says:

      Lol, would you give up good alcohol? Anything would be better than her husband. Although hearing his asinine message last week about the BBC findings, I started to kinda see his appeal, if you ignore what an ignoramus he is, and close your eyes he has a sexy voice. But then you open your eyes and have to be confronted by his pasty thumb face.

      • swirlmamad says:

        Harry has an equally sexy voice — and his is even more attractive because of the person he is and has shown himself to be. I’ll admit Will has a nice voice, but it’s literally everything else about him that kills it for me.

      • IMARA219 says:

        swirlmamad, you are right about that, Will is just horrid. Like he makes the girly parts shrivel up and die. Every time I hear about the Rose scandal, I’m confused with why someone with wealth and power would sleep with him. Something about Harry’s voice that sounds nasally to me. Clearly, Harry’s an upgrade for obvious reasons though!

    • swirlmamad says:

      LMAO @ “Leave the bottle”

  8. Amy Bee says:

    This is classified as service. Harry and Meghan are being attacked for wanting to do more than this, really?

    • Hell Nah! says:

      This is forced service at its finest. Their body language and blank faces tell us how “thrilled” they are to be there, going through the motions, lacking any true engagement.

      Gawd, spare us all from their dull, lifeless events. Cue Kate’s over-the-top maniacal laugh in 3, 2, 1…

  9. Digital Unicorn says:

    I like the jacket and boots though based on the Seeland website its a hunting jacket as some of the pockets are design to hold cartridges.

    • SurelyNot says:

      that just means they are roomy — I looked too because I do love the jacket. It’s sold out so I’ll have to wait and see if I’m still in love with it when they come back into stock.

  10. Kati says:

    Didn’t they throw the whiskey over the side of the boat to bless something? I don’t think she drank it.

  11. aquarius64 says:

    They are in Scotland. Why didn’t Kate id herself with her Scottish title? Given this trip is suppose to convince Scots not to vote for independence this looks like a step on the rake moment.

    Lord Billy looks like he wants to be anywhere but there. How is this visit going down in Scotland?

    • BearcatLawyer says:

      But…but Kate never puts a foot wrong! /s

    • Sofia says:

      It wouldn’t surprise me if she literally forgot she’s supposed to be using her Countess title. DoC is her “main” title and that’s why it just comes out when someone asks about her or something.

      And to be fair, a lot of people don’t even know she has other titles so it might not be a massive deal for some?

    • leslie says:

      like a lead balloon ( from a Scot) some comments on a local paper FB page were not impressed and saw it fo what it was.

      • BothSidesNow says:

        @ Leslie, that’s interesting to hear…so they are boring and unforgettable there as well? Would love more info, please when you can. I always wonder what other people, especially commonwealth countries, think of Dull and Duller.

  12. Cecilia says:

    This couple radiates absolutely no warmth. And i’ve never seen kate so happy as when she got poured some whiskey

  13. BearcatLawyer says:

    Oh no, guys, she forgot she is the Countess of Strathearn in Scotland! Protocol breach alert!!!

    Also, it says a LOT to me that she first referred to herself as the DoC in response to a child’s question. Her title and probably the fact that duchesses outrank countesses mean SO MUCH to her. She just HAD to remind everyone on the record that she is not some random manic commoner with terrible fashion sense. A better answer would have been, “No, I am not a prince. My name’s Catherine/Kate. What’s your name?” And then follow it up with an age appropriate conversation instead of acting like a grande dame. But Kate cannot handle even this.

    • Sofia says:

      I think it’s because Kate IS the Duchess of Cambridge and nothing else. There’s really no “Kate” left in her personality anymore and it’s all “HRH Catherine The Duchess of Cambridge” 24/7 no matter who she’s with or where she is. Pippa apparently refers to Kate as “The Duchess” so if her own sister acts like that, it’s not a stretch to think that Kate acts like that too.

      • Becks1 says:

        That’s what was weird about it to me – not that she didnt go for Countess of Strathearn, but that she didn’t just reply “no, i’m Kate” (or catherine bc they are really trying to make that happen.) Who introduces themselves to a child as “I’m the Duchess of Cambridge”? even if she did then say “Catherine”?

        All that to say that I think you’re right – she’s just the Duchess of Cambridge at this point, that’s her personality, that’s all there is.

      • Sofia says:

        @Becks1 I also do want to say that it’s possible that Kate isn’t actually the exception and nearly all of them (except Harry and Meghan) go, “no I’m *insert title here*” if they’re asked about themselves rather than “I’m Charles/Camilla/Anne/Edward/Sophie/etc”

        But my larger point of Kate being the DoC and nothing else is still valid.

      • L84Tea says:

        Someone on this site said it best a few months back–there is no more Kate Middleton. Whatever small sliver of Kate Middleton that might have been hanging on by a thread is completely gone, and there is nothing left but a full Windsor’d entitled FFQ, there to do the monarchy’s bidding.

      • BothSidesNow says:

        Isn’t that disgusting that your sister addresses you in that manner. I would imagine that CarolE played a part in that distinction, especially illegal funded Uncle Gary!! Gary and his campaign to skip Charles!! Charles had better watch his back because one of these days, I wouldn’t put her family past anything, given this campaign that Uncle Gary is on, aka speaking strictly for CarolE. I don’t know how Michael can look at her with shred of respect.

      • Rilincmom says:

        Hello all, I love reading the comments on here and I have never posted on this before…but this post sort of triggered me a bit. I don’t understand why people have such a problem with how Catherine choose to call herself. Maybe the duchess thing is a bit uppity but I totally get her choosing to go by Catherine now. My name is Michelle but growing up I went by Shelly to everyone. As I got older and in my job etc I began going by Michelle more often and fell in love with my full name. Now, it’s pretty much all I go by with the exception of some family and childhood friends. Sorry for going on about this but like I said for some reason this just bothered me. There are plenty of valid reason to bash Catherine but how she chooses to use her name and called herself shouldn’t be one of them.

      • Becks1 says:

        @Rilincmom – honestly it’s because I don’t think it’s natural. It’s hard to change your name like that, I’m a Rebecca who goes by becky and its hard whenever I try to switch to Rebecca. It takes some effort, and sometimes all it takes is one person who calls you by your “old” name for everyone else around you to slide back into it.

        And here, the name change is 100% because someone decided that Catherine, Princess of Wales or Queen Catherine sounds better than Queen Kate – and I honestly don’t think she goes by it at home. William doesn’t really sound that natural when he says it, and Meghan called her Kate without missing a beat in that interview. If she had always called her Catherine, and nothing but Catherine, and knew her as Catherine for the years she was in the UK, I think she would have said something like “Catherine, or Kate” or some sort of stumble – but she just went straight with Kate. That was the tell to me.

      • Nic919 says:

        She’s an elitist snob if she introduces herself as the duchess. Using Catherine is one thing but kids don’t give a shit about fake titles. They are as real as fairy tales.

        Notice now Harry always says to call him “Harry”. That’s because he isn’t massively insecure and knows the title means nothing.

    • swirlmamad says:

      If Meghan had ever done that — introduced herself to a child as the Duchess of Sussex instead of Meghan (and we all know that Harry and Meghan would never speak to a child and introduce themselves by anything other than their first names) — she would’ve been ripped to shreds from here to kingdom come. I am so damn SICK of the passes and benefit of the doubt this Botox queen gets.

      • BearcatLawyer says:

        Honestly, reading about this exchange makes me wonder how much Kate interacts with her own kids. She does not seem to be able to relate to kids very well despite having three of them and supposedly being a hands on mother and proponent for early interventions for children.

      • BothSidesNow says:

        Agree, and BearcatLawyer as well. I can still picture Meghan and Harry kneeling down with the children around them, so that they would be at eye level, and interacting with children no matter where they were or what event was taking place. Harry and Meghan have such beautiful and lovely hearts that they are warm and inviting to all, no matter their circumstance.

      • Beach Dreams says:

        I saw the video of the exchange on Twitter yesterday (I think it was on Emily Nash’s page) and it was just *really* awkward, much more than I was expecting it to be.

      • Saucy&Sassy says:

        BearCatLawyer, I’ve always thought that the “hands on Mom” narrative was suspect. Kate just doesn’t come across as warm and fuzzy at all. Even when we see photos with her children. The vibe isn’t there. I think she leaves a lot to the Nanny and brings them out for photo ops. She could see them an hour each day, too. This clearly is someone who isn’t either comfortable or used to talking with children.

  14. Ellie says:

    Yes I’ve got my problems with Kate and they’re exactly the same as everyone else’s here, but I’d probably wear this same outfit to a similar excursion and I’d welcome a stiff drink on a pier too.

  15. Ginger says:

    I really hope the reporter misheard the kid calling Kate a prince.

    • TeamAwesome says:

      I kind of love the thought that a kid could be so unaware or unconcerned about what a prince is that they wouldn’t know it was supposed to refer to a boy.

    • Beach Dreams says:

      They didn’t; there’s video of the interaction on Emily Nash’s Twitter and the kid did say prince, lol.

  16. Sofia says:

    I like her outfit. It’s nice and casual and it’s something I could see wearing. Her hair seems to have gotten “heavier”? Are those the extensions/wiglets? And I just “lol” at trying to make Catherine happen. I know it’s her name and that’s what she may prefer these days over Kate but she’s always going to be “Kate (Middleton)” no matter what.

  17. schlussel says:

    the whiskey was for ceremonially throwing over & christening the energy turbine they were visiting, not for drinking.

  18. Lizzie says:

    When does the charm in this charm offensive start?

  19. Becks1 says:

    Oh, its her “I’m doing outdoorsy stuff with the peasants” outfit – field jacket, boots (she’s starting to wear these more, although we still see the Penelope Chilvers once in a while), sweater with a ruffly collar, and jeggings.

    Something I don’t get is why she doesn’t dress appropriately for both events. the other royal women don’t change outfits like she does. Surely there’s something she could have worn that would have worked for the earlier events and this event. But even if she wanted to put on jeans – why change sweaters? Her morning sweater would have been perfectly okay for this.

    I know that its because she wants pictures of her in different outfits so it gives the illusion of working more, but it also just strikes me as poor planning or inefficient. Anne would never!

    • Ginger says:

      Agreed. If Meghan changed her clothes this often during a single day the outrage would be insane. William probably changes his clothes twice during the whole tour. There is no need for her to change outfits this often. It’s a waste.

    • BayTampaBay says:

      “Anne would never!”

      Well of course Anne would never but she is a different person. Anne is the type that has no problem paying $5,000 for an outfit because she will wear it and be photographed in it for 40 years. (Anne stills wears the outfit she wore to Chuck & Di’s wedding to official events). Make no mistake, Anne’s “event clothes” are very expensive 100% bespoke.

      • Becks1 says:

        Yes but Kate also spends 5000 on outfits that she wears once lol.

        ETA my comment was less about Anne’s overall wardrobe and how she manages to dress appropriately for several different events in the course of a day without multiple costume changes.

      • BayTampaBay says:

        “Yes but Kate also spends 5000 on outfits that she wears once lol.”

        Which was my point. LOL!

        The only thing Kate seems to re-wear are the coats with big buttons!

        PS: IMAO, Anne always looks good in farm and/or hunting clothes.

      • Dee says:

        And how frugal is Kate if she “recycles” a dress, but adds new jewelry or accessories which cost in the thousands? Years ago, I noticed she was praised for wearing a very inexpensive dress, but added a $2K McQueen belt.

    • Amy Too says:

      It also slows things down and gives her a “reason” to take a break. She has to go back to wherever and have time to change her whole outfit and sometimes even have her hair redone. No going straight from one event to another for Kate.

      • Anance says:

        Probably both of them need a break. Kate gets redone; Wills calls his rosebush. (Or visits said bush; after all, she might be in Scotland.

        Wills went there for the weekend, and his wife doesn’t show up until Monday. Where did he spend Sunday and Saturday night? In fact, where are they staying now?

    • bettyrose says:

      Just speaking as a peasant, here, but if I were blessed with long, lithe legs like that, I’d wear a belted tunic or something that gave the appearance of a curvy waist while showing off my legs.

  20. Krista says:

    I get outfit coordination but they legit are wearing THE SAME OUTFIT. It’s really odd looking and reminds me of something they would wear hunting at Balmoral.
    I feel like the Catherine comment was intended to be focusing on how ‘normal they are’ OR with all the Middleton PR maybe she just was too focused on not saying Queen lol

  21. IMARA219 says:

    I stopped clicking on these royal stories because I’m getting tired of them but I had to chime in with this post because….I love jeggings. I don’t care, I don’t care what other people say. I love them. I can’t care for Kate either way, but I love Kate’s casual wear. It’s my style. Not her silly frivolous, try-hard, thirsty dress-up wear. I mean her “street, casual” style. I love jeggings with a boot. It’s my every day. I haven’t found a “jeggings, boots, and utilitarian style jacket” Pinterest pin that I don’t love. 🤷🏽‍♀️. I know I’m the minority on this blog who feels that way and I’m cool with that. 😃

    • Becks1 says:

      LOL, I like her casual style, but I just laugh because it’s such a uniform with her. Outdoor event = this exact outfit, every single time. Like there are other things you can wear when doing something outdoors lol. (example: their sheep farm visit last month.)

      • IMARA219 says:

        Lol, I hear you about it coming across as a uniform but I wear my clothes like that too. It’s easier that way I swear. My work look is black pointe jeggings, a plaid buttoned-up tunic, and black boots. The plaid buttoned-up tunic will be different colors but it’s literally the same thing 😳. My weekend look is basically what Kate wears. I love a good duplicate. If I loved the shirt in one color, then I would buy it in every color 😝. I know I am clearly not fashion forward person. I get it. Kate is supposed to do better because she’s, you know, a royal. I just love clicking on the posts so I can pin her newest not-so-new look to my boards.

    • Lucy says:

      I love jeggings too. This is the best she’s looked in a while. I have worn outfits like this for cold /rainy pick up.
      I wish she’d do uniform dressing, with Victoria Beckham (for instance) separates and tailored stuff, just in colors that suited her. You know, like a professional person. She just doesn’t seem to understand what actual grown ups wear to actual jobs.

      • IMARA219 says:

        You know Lucy that would be the perfect look for her. Beckham is a Brit designer so easy to pull off.

  22. CindyP says:

    You would think that someone with 3 young children would know how to converse with a child. “I’m the Duchess of Cambridge”????

    • Anance says:

      Yes, of course, her conversation is improvised so that we can cut her break. Next time something similar comes up, she could answer the child by stating, “No, I’m the Prince’s wife, Catherine. William is the prince.”

      Go get William to talk to the boy and who says, “Yes, I am the prince, and who are you? Really, and what do you want to be you grow up? Well, I used to be a helicopter pilot; it was fascinating. Oh, yes! Much more exciting than being a prince.”

      Endless variations of this.

  23. Fran says:

    That’s Scapa, a local whisky made on the main island of the Orkneys, fitting choice for the christening. Such a waste of a good drink to be throwing it away, with Baldimort standing next to her, she should hold on to anything stiff.

  24. TigerMcQueen says:

    Cain’s body language and facial expressions aren’t good. He doesn’t look like he wants to be there at all. He still looks angry.

    I don’t mind Keen G’s outfit, it looks comfy. But as noted up thread, it’s the same outdoor outfit every single time, so it really does look more like she’s theme dressing than anything else.

  25. OriginalLala says:

    Imagine introducing yourself to a child as The Duchess of Cambridge and not just your name – my god, I guess her entire identity revolves around that HRH doesn’t it. It’s so pathetic.

    • Lizzie says:

      Lol, I’m sure that kid was really trying to nail down her exact title. Too bad she used the wrong one.

    • Digital Unicorn says:

      Yes – that title is everything that she/her family wanted and chased after for 10 years. In the early years of the marriage there were many stories about how grand Kate and her family became.

      • Anance says:

        Remember when we saw Kate, Will, and Middletons on vacation together. Usually, Pippa’s boyfriend of the moment came along.

    • Beach Dreams says:

      Yeah, and in the video you could tell that the kids didn’t understand what her title was as she was correcting them. Awkward all around.

  26. Jay says:

    Nevermind the jeggings (which I suggest as the name of the eventual celebitchy punk album), it’s the hair that’s wrong. The sausage rolls were too fussy and covered a lot of her (nice, I think) outfit yesterday, and they seem way out of place here. Why not do a cute pony?

    Anyway, imagine a job where you get a mug of whiskey!

    • swirlmamad says:

      Yeah, it’s clear as day that half of that hair is fake — you just have to look at recent pics of her to see that her hair is NOT that full-looking. 🙄🙄🙄

      Girl, nobody is checking for you and your clip-ins. It’s because she insists on LYING about it that we will continue to dig her for it.

  27. josephine says:

    She’s working, not going about her daily life. I personally find the jeggings tacky and juvenile for a work event. But I’ve always felt that her stylists hate her – she goes from looking too matronly to looking too tween.

  28. Lizzie says:

    Did they drag out the children because adults don’t come to see them? Clearly the little boy had no clue who he was there to see.

  29. BayTampaBay says:

    I think Cathy’s clothes are fine and appropriate for this event. I will give Cathy credit as she seems to enjoy being there which is more than I can say for Bill. Baldingham looks like he cannot wait to get back to KP, his couch and his TV.

  30. Em says:

    I agree with Kaiser. With an unlimited budget & an in-house stylist on the payroll it would be refreshing to see her in a pair of straight legged jeans. We all get stuck in a style rut sometimes. It just proves to me what we all suspect. Girl has no friends.

  31. Hannah says:

    The jeggings are there to remind everyone how super skinny she is… so boring.

  32. Jais says:

    I do love the skinny jeans and boots combo. However, there are lots of really good skinny jeans out there made of different materials. Jeggings are very specific, skin tight, and stretchy, which is fine but I just think there are a lot of skinny jean options out there that Kate could try out and would look good or better. The stretchy jeggings aren’t bad but I’d love to see her in a true jean material. I wonder if she thinks the jeggings are more professional?

  33. CidyKitty(CidySmiley) says:

    I think those are jeans. They have very clear crease lines around the knee and color fade that Jeggings don’t have. I think they are just really tight jeans.

    I like this outdoors-y outfits more than her usual because she looks less extra. The only issue is there is no variety.

    • Ann says:

      That’s what I thought. They look like jeans to me. I have a pair of jeans that pretty much look like that on me, they’re stretchy and kind of lightweight so they fit that way, but they’re jeans, not jeggings.

    • Jais says:

      Huh I really did think they were jeggings and didn’t realize they were just really tight jeans.

  34. Ronaldinho says:

    Dress down is her best look. Their styling, as a couple, always gives 60yr old age group vibes.
    Her face is clearly botoxed and jer make up os dire and Disney villan again

  35. Calibration says:

    She always looks good in her casual uniform. And mostly happier? Bill looks terrible! In the worst way. Wtf is up with him. How did he end up looking this bad?

    Oh, plus they match their outfits, down to the boots 🤣👢

  36. Ariel says:

    Her performative over-enthusiastic laugh makes me sad for her.

  37. Bianca says:

    Nobody is talking about this tour, what a flop!

  38. PlayItAgain says:

    I think Kate looks great. If I had legs like hers, I’d wear jeggings too. She looks best in more casual garb. She’s fabulous.

    • Q says:

      And here I was thinking to myself how awful her legs look in tight jeans/jeggins.
      I never thought kate has nice legs, even when they photoshop them to look longer. The shape of them just never looked nice to me, they’re shaped like frog legs; no hips and muscles on the outer tighs with a soccer players calves.
      Diana had beautiful legs. Absolutely perfect legs and was known for having the most beautiful legs.

    • Q says:

      I do agree however that she looks best in more casual wear. Or smart casual. She just never gets the tailoring right to fit her proportions. She has a long torso that need to be taken in to consideration.

  39. Courtney says:

    Does she not notice that she is the only royal lately smiling like a maniac and being so “happy”? Phillip died not long ago, her husband’s relationship with his brother is a mess, and Covid is still a bigger issue over there. She looks tone deaf.

  40. nicegirl says:

    My dr has recommended Botox injections for a problem with my jaw. I’ve been scared to try it but my fellow commenters chiming in makes me feel a bit less anxious.

    Wiglet + jeggings= 2007 Kate lol

  41. Flying Fish says:

    Leggings or tight ass jeans, I hate those. They are way too tight and look crutch squeezers to me. Other than that the jacket and boots are cute.

  42. Miasys says:

    Bill sure does look like Prince Philip in that sideways pic. And not young hot PP. Made me me do a double-take. Dude is aging like milk.

  43. kelleybelle says:

    Thanking the covid workers must be uproariously funny again. Will looks completely bored as usual … except for the “I’m listening intently” poses.

  44. Amelie says:

    I am not a huge fan of Kate but every time she gets flak for wearing skinny jeans (they are not jeggings if they are made out of denim usually, I’ve owned jeggings and the material is more flexible like legging material) I get annoyed because I still wear skinnies and probably will til I die lol. I don’t like flared jeans or boot cut or what have you which I wore as a kid. I just find it easier to build an outfit with skinny jeans. I have a pair of skinny jeans from Everlane and they are the best skinny jeans I’ve ever owned. I honestly don’t care how skin tight Kate’s jeans are as long as there are no panty lines and camelt*e. She looks fine here apart from the overacting of facial expressions.

  45. jOoLz says:

    it just me or do those boots look really bulky on her? her legs are stick-thin. maybe she should stop tucking her pants into her boots and get a different style of jeans.

  46. Q says:

    Her wiglet is so obvious here.

  47. Liz version 700 says:

    That manic smile. She is overcompensating and he could not care less.

  48. Athena says:

    I think when children meet a princess they expect princess regalia, Kate needs an outfit that is both comfortable and also says I’m a princess.

    Every expression so far on William’s face has been, I rather be any where but here. If this is the charm offensive, it’s not working. Credit to Kate for at least trying to look like she’s enjoying the visit.

  49. Jayna says:

    Why does she always do that bizarre fake laugh for the cameras?

  50. Dl says:

    Bill from the side looks like Bull from Night Court
