Duchess Kate wore jeggings & a blue Eponine wrap dress in Glasgow

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will visit Alexandra Park Sports Hub in Dennistoun to meet with Scouts and learn about the Scouts’ #PromiseToThePlanet campaign

Prince William and Kate – aka the Earl and Countess of Strathearn in Scotland – were in Glasgow on Monday for the big two days of keening at the COP26 conference. World leaders flew in, mostly from Rome, where the G20 summit was held over the weekend. Prince Charles acted as host at the conference, so it’s a little bit funny to me that as Charles was doing diplomatic heavy lifting, miles away William and Kate did a cutesy, lightweight event with the Scouts. Kate is patron of the Scouts, although she barely does one event every two years with them. William has so little going on, he tagged along on her event.

So what did they do? They met with little kids, they “learned” about the Scouts’ program Promise to the Planet, and they threw seed bombs. Basically, a compacted pile of dirt and seeds. You throw the baseball-sized “seed bomb” into an area which needs greenery and care and you hope that things grow. It was cute and it was on “theme” for the COP26 conference, although I have to wonder that in the Queen’s absence, William probably would have been better scheduled to join his father in all of the diplomatic glad-handing? Maybe Charles – and Downing Street – realize that William can’t handle even the lightest soft-diplomacy tasks.

After all of that, the Strathearns were finally invited to the adults’ table. They attended the COP26 opening night reception, where Charles and Camilla held court but William and Kate were deployed to… maybe Charles look like a heavyweight, that would be my guess. Kate wore a new-to-us wrap dress by Eponine. She resisted the urge to “bespoke” the dress with a million buttons and instead just had two big buttons below her waist. The proportions of this dress feel completely off, so I do think she asked for them to customize it to make it more keen and Victorian.

PS… In the photo where it looks like she’s holding a small petri dish, she’s apparently offering dead bugs to William (and others). She was so pleased to find a container of dead bugs.

    LMAO at the royal blue “coordination”…..reminiscent of another couple we know. The Sussexes did it better, Cambridges. Try again.

    Also, nice tans.

    • MMadison says:

      The photo of William looking at Kate side-eye is all that needs to be said…LOL

        😁😁😁😁Mooseknuckle and Wiglet😁😁

      • Cessily says:

        I almost think she does some of these things to get the nasty looks out of him, like her own secret needling revenge. (I am sure she knew exactly where the photographer was and what his response would be).

      • CarrieVirginia says:

        O.M.G. I just can’t. So much disdain in that look.

      • Coco says:

        It’s like a laugh-track sitcom where the wife says something complicated but unexciting, and the schlubby husband gets a huge audience reaction from one rude facial expression.
        (And my autocorrect tried to turn ‘schlubby’ into ‘echoing?’ What?)

      • Amy Too says:

        The one where it looks like he’s trying to hold in vomit while walking with her at the scouts event is also very interesting.

      • Liz version 700 says:

        Holy Cow no kidding. If he had Superman Laser eyes she would be in pieces. They literally loathe each other.

      • Marion says:

        When I saw this photo I just said to myself “Man he hates her so much”…

    • Yvette says:

      @Swirlmamad … Oh, my. It ‘is’ nearly the same shade of blue, isn’t it? 🙂

      I don’t know why Cate insists on dressing like a Sister-Wife.

      • Betsy says:

        She went from flashing her undercarriage to sister wife dressing. It’s weird.

      • kelleybelle says:

        The dress is matronly. Not sure why they insist on making her look like that. She’s 39 and not 57.

      • Amy Too says:

        Betsy, I wonder if Kates flashing and Will’s um……”interestingly fitted” pants have some kind of a connection.

      • @Kelleybelle. I’m 57 and I wouldn’t be caught dead or reincarnated in that. Taste and style don’t disappear with age unless you so choose. Lots of examples of professional high profile stylish women. And she has the fashion world at her feet. Her choices baffle me.

    • Betsy says:

      Kate’s tan especially seems quite thorough.

    • Dee says:

      Reminds me of Annie Murphy’s character on Kevin Can F*ck Himself.

    • Lizzie says:

      I wonder how long it was after Meghan wore this exact shade of blue in the iconic picture taken in the rain under an umbrella before copy Kate ordered this dress? Lol, she is always good for a laugh. Two actually , almost forgot the jeggings.

  2. Hmmm so they met Biden? Got my popcorn ready to watch the mental gymnastics of the racists on this one. We hate Biden, but we also hate Meghan. So do we get upset about Sloth breaking the “royalty politics rule” or do we suddenly ignore every single thing we’ve criticized Meghan for? Side note, at least Kate remembered to give Sloth his Babe Ruth before the event this time, he looks much happier than he did at the movie premiere.

    • MMadison says:

      William is so desperate to get the American audience it’s becoming ridiculous. Sadly for him NO ONE CARES! Why is it that Kate and Camilla never seem to be going to the same event. One of them is either overdressed or underdressed.

    • Mac says:

      Meeting world leaders isn’t engaging in politics. Remember when the Obamas had dinner at KP with Harry, William and Kate?

      • MAC- You are really trying to tell me that if Meghan was photographed laughing with Biden at a climate conference, she wouldn’t be slammed for her “liberal politics”? Their double standards are clear.

      • Hell Nah! says:

        @Pink Flamingo – Sing it — loud for those with earwax!

      • Nic919 says:

        I don’t know why we aren’t comparing Kate to Ivanka Trump showing up to these conferences because they both don’t have any business there. William either. They just pretend that the Cambridges have something of value to add to this conversation.

    • Lizzie says:

      I’ve watched coverage and Bill and Copy Kate are never mentioned.

  3. Becks1 says:

    What? No tartan in sight?? Kate, how are we supposed to know you’re in Scotland if you’re not wearing tartan?!?!?

    The scouting event was cute, Kate is in her typical “out with the scouts” outfit – I kind of wonder why she doesn’t do more things with the scouts. Just schedule a scouting event almost anywhere she goes. There’s always a scout pack/troop somewhere, and they’re always doing something. Just tag along and get your numbers up.

    She and William definitely looked like they were tagging along to Charles’ big event last night.

    • Jay says:

      THIS! For her, it would be a pretty easy photo op where she gets to wear her favourite leggings and do something cute and sporty. If she’d too lazy to grab the lowest of low hanging fruit…

    • Seraphina says:

      I think Chuck is hoping that by simply being there they can learn by osmosis.

    • MMadison says:

      Don’t you find it odd that they are at a G20 meeting and the biggest environmental event they could find was throwing seed bombs with Scouts. I could see something like this as a follow-up to such a huge event but to have this as their solo event just doesn’t make sense to me.

      • Becks1 says:

        I think Kate probably refuses to do anything “heavier” sometimes. Here she probably said “well I’m already going to the reception, if I have to do something else it better be simple and easy.”

      • Agreatreckoning says:

        It makes sense to throw seed bombs with scouts if you want to throw people off from looking at you as being responsible for a paid troll hate campaign being investigated. It’s a pattern with the Cambridges. Pull a d&ck move and do something cutish when people are side eyeing you.

    • Jen says:

      Right? The scouting stuff seems in her wheelhouse—she usually looks best in those casual, outdoorsy outfits and usually manages to look engaged. It would be such an easy thing for her to do more of without much effort in her part. And would actually bring attention to a good organization that encourages service and being outdoors and active. It *could* be a win-win if she were just a little more motivated to do anything.

      • JT says:

        @MMadison I do find it odd that they are meeting with scouts at this very important event with all of those world leaders present. It would’ve been a good time to host a round table or William could have given a conference with the Keenshot winners going in depth with their projects. For one, the scouts business seemed like it was last minute, but it also does not fit the hype of this event. The BM made it seem like the Keens were going to be major players here…and then they threw seed bombs. They also got very little coverage for attending this.

      • Becks1 says:

        @JT I think you’re right, this was last minute.

    • Betsy says:

      I think we’re all coming at this from a place of something other than deadly slothfulness. Yes, this would be an easy way of getting her numbers up; she doesn’t want to get her numbers up. She doesn’t care. William doesn’t care.

    • Lucy says:

      I rolled at the tartan bit, Becks1. Hilarious.
      The scout outfit is quite good, I love shooting vests/jackets because they have the world’s best POCKETS. Also surprised Will didn’t have a tartan scarf on.
      Her big girl event dress was a total fail, per usual. I’m only a few months older than her and wouldn’t even look at that dress, it’s so mehhhh. Then again I have a personality and don’t have to starve myself to feel in control/acceptable.

  4. truthSF says:

    Does she have clip-on added to her hair? Her hair looks fake and extra thick in terms of the amount of strands. Her hair usually looks so thin!

    • Kviby says:

      Her hair has never looked thin to me. There are pics out there since she was university age and she used to have even more hair. So if it’s fake hair, she must have done a long-con on us.

      • Weatherby says:

        Her extensions have been seen before; right behind her ear. It was the only time in her first two years of marriage that the Palace overtly tried to squash/change the narrative of a story and invented “a horrible childhood accident” story to say the extensions clip we saw was only a scar. Then she stopped wearing her hair pulled back for a long time, so we could not see the extension line anymore.

        Her vanity was top priority even then.

        And as people age, their hair naturally just thins. He hair would be thinner than it was at Uni because she’s nearly 40.

        Until she cuts her hair, count on the reality that she will don extensions at every outing. And then just pray for no wiglets.

      • Maria says:

        She had finer curly hair that she blew out straight every day (except for some wavy pics at uni and the odd curly pic from around 2012) back then during the dating. It was still pretty, just definitely not as thick and full as now – I have fine hair too so I know it when I see it. She started the extra pieces after the engagement with James Pryce helping who I still maintain made her hair look better than it ever had before or since, lol. Even I wanted a Chelsea blow dry in that era!
        I remember the “childhood operation” story, so weird.

      • Dee says:

        Her hairpieces, falls, add-ins, wefts, wiglets, whatever you want to call them have been obvious over the years. There are times they weren’t blended well and we’ve seen them “helicopter” in the wind.

      • notasugarhere says:

        Do an image search for Kate Middleton feathers. That shows you how thin her natural hair is when blown out. She’s been wearing hairpieces for years.

  5. Southern Fried says:

    Another old fuddyduddy dress, ill-fitting and too long. That’s her contribution to a world event. Willy’s posture can be so weird.

    • BayTampaBay says:

      There is nothing wrong with the blue dress except it is about 10 inches too long. Compared to other dresses Kate has worn in the last two years, I think she looks pretty good here.

      • MMadison says:

        I agree. It would be a beautiful dress if it wasn’t soooooo loooong. She looks like a used car lot inflatable tube man.

      • Lionel says:

        Yes, I think it would be a pretty great knee-length (or just below) dress. Different from her usual style and an interesting silhouette.

      • Emma says:

        This dress is probably above average for her but yeah it is too long and it is very bright compared to Camilla… oh god I’m asleep already. So little of substance here.

    • Matthew says:

      she’s low-waisted and the buttons are in the wrong place of course. It makes her torso look longer.

    • Marion says:

      She has really NO style, does she??

    • Green Desert says:

      Agreed, @Southern Fried. Doesn’t matter the length, this is the Kate special – matronly, un-stylish. Also the color is off. I love colors, but this is bad 80’s fashion all around. Terrible f*cking hairstyle again as always. Her hair looks great down, but her updos are wealthy mid-century housewife cosplay.

  6. Seraphina says:

    The BRF got what they wanted, a boring lackluster wife for the FFK who will not out shine him. Well done.

    • Chloe says:

      That is what they wanted. And they succeeded. The problem is that they are now trying to make that wife into some diana 2.0 because they have to compete with a certain 6th in line and his beautiful wife.

      • Jan90067 says:

        She STILL channels Diana with this dress length: EARLY Diana, when she was still a naive child. However, Diana grew TF up, the hard way sadly, and she LEARNED. She got help from Vogue for dressing, and she knocked everyone out of the park. Even before her “Revenge Dress”, even her work suits/dresses became smarter, more chic. Diana learned how to accessorize, how to make things “pop”.

        These are somethings KopyKate will NEVER do.

  7. atorontogal says:

    Willykins looks at Camilla with more affection then he does his wife. I love the picture of Kate staring hungrily into the camera! It speaks volumes.

  8. Watson says:

    Annnd we’re back to square one. Is her regular stylist back?

  9. Noki says:

    There is a picture on their IG taken from the back very reminiscent of the now famous Sussex in the rain pic.

  10. Cg2495 says:

    Yawn 🥱 … that’s a terrible fitting dress. Want to copy the other couple but is a fail.

    • Seraphina says:

      I think the dress fits her quite well. It is VERY long though and it’s a bit roomy up top. She is VERY thin and so it may be difficult to find a perfect fit – BUT she has no excuse considering she has a style team and seamstress/tailor. And is she doesn’t, she needs to hire some.

      • Chloe says:

        The dress isn’t to bad but its a bit too long. It just makes the whole look “old” if that makes sense.

      • Betsy says:

        But that means it doesn’t fit her well, and there’s really no excuse. But she never embraced stitching in the hem weights either. Her “I’m just folks!” nonsense is so deeply offensive. When you’re given the world on a platter, don’t leave it there FFS.

  11. Red Weather Tiger says:

    The last picture, where she’s doing the famous combo Big-Eyes-Engaged-Hands, is really something, with Elegant Bill looking irritated. He is trying very hard to keep that clenched fist under control.

    WTF is with that dress? Are the buttons too low? Too high? Help me understand what conspired here.

    • Betsy says:

      His fist is barely clenched. He looks like he’s making another motion, almost.

    • Hell Nah! says:

      @RedWeatherTiger @L84Tea hahahahahahaha –I am loving all of this!

      The “Combo” Big-Eyes-Engaged-Hands never keeps me from howling, right alongside Elegant Bill and his clenched fists of Extreme Incandescent Irritation.

      Can I just add, a hearty belly laugh is always the best way to start your day!! Thank you Celebitches.

    • Over it says:

      Has anyone noticed how dark and chapped Willy lips are? I think he looks like he has a drug problem

  12. OriginalLala says:

    That dress (coat dress? The material looks heavy) could have been cute if it wasn’t soo long? not sure what would have saved it but the proportions seem off. And the overly-stylized hair is such a snooze

    • Becks1 says:

      Yeah the dress looks like Kate couldn’t decide between a long dress or a coatdress so she went with this. It’s not quite a wrap dress, its not a coatdress….its something else and its a little off. The color is nice, but the dress itself is boring and doesnt fit her that well.

      • BayTampaBay says:

        Chop 10 inches off the bottom of the dress to raise the hem line and it would be fine. I would wear that dress minus the 10 inches of the hem line.

      • Amy Bee says:

        According to Eponine, it’s a coat dress. The royalists should be happy she’s wearing one after all these months.

      • notasugarhere says:

        She’s has a suitable dress, exactly same shade, from McCartney. She could have worn that instead of this new item.

    • tolly says:

      She customized it with extra-pointy shoulder pads, which don’t work with the narrow sleeves and draped neckline.

    • Betsy says:

      I just don’t get why, in all her Diana cosplay, she’s never cosplayed Diana’s slim powersuits, and that’s a look that has aged decently and still looks professional.

      • Thirtynine says:

        Most of these working women at these levels develop a kind of uniform that works for these sort of business events, – we know what Merkel and Sturgeon will be wearing, any of our busy, business-like Queens have similar business style, and Diana developed her pastel and neutral suits for the same reason. Their focus is the event, and they don’t need to think too hard about what they are wearing. I just think Kate gets it wrong so often because she doesn’t do enough and seems to have an unlimited budget- every business meeting is a ‘one off’ and so she’s not even thinking about a developing a suitable work wardrobe, just “what will I wear to x?” Actually, I think she’d be a perfect candidate for Smart works coaching, really.

      • Tessa says:

        Diana wore those sheath dresses also and they were properly fitted and looked great. Kate’s look more like she is channeling laura from LIttle HOuse on the Prairie.

  13. FrodoOrOdo says:

    The proportions of that dress are terrible. I think her stylist tries to make Kate look long but she already is long so she just ends up looking stretched.

    • BayTampaBay says:

      Kate’s legs are short in proportion to her overall height. Kate has a long torso and her short legs make her torso look even longer.

      The stylist is trying to make Kate’s leg look longer.

  14. Aidevee says:

    Quite like her blue dress.

    William must be dead proud of his heavyweight contributions to Cop26 so far.

    George: daddy what did you do during humanity’s last chance to save the planet?

    William: well, son- I flung mud about with some kids and then your mum showed me a giant dead bug and I made a face.

    😐

  15. UnionSnack says:

    For the people photo op I was like “ehhhmmm it’s ok if they both feel better beside each other and I am glad if camb family is in their renaissance “. But watching the photo where Kate touches will’s arm and where she tries to get his attention is the stupid way (offering dead bugs)…

  16. Ginger says:

    Will and Kate look so out of place at this conference.

    • lanne says:

      They should both be giving keynote addresses or delivering remarks. Heck, even a welcome statement. That’s what their peers in other royal families would be doing. Instead, they just tag along like kids whose parents couldn’t get a babysitter

    • L84Tea says:

      I’m getting strong Javanka vibes from them.

  17. mariahlee says:

    Jeggings and a cost dress? Maybe Kate still has a discernible identity of her own after all. Not a fan of the evening look. Too long and stiff.

    • BeanieBean says:

      My first thought at that headline–before seeing any photos–was that Kate wore jeggings with a coat dress. I was thinking that coat dress might be knee length & was curious as to the overall look, considering there was a brief mention the other day about bringing back the dress over jeans look. But no. It’s the same boring Kate, ridiculously long coat dress one day, jeggings & vest on another, ho hum. What was I thinking?

  18. Harper says:

    William’s scalp looks like it got a little tropical sun last week.

    • Nic919 says:

      They both look tan. William’s face has tinges of red in some pictures and Kate is not as fair as she was a few weeks ago.

  19. Belli says:

    Even though her hair’s scraped back with the blue dress, I can’t see what we were told was a scar above her ear. Can anyone else? How odd.

    • Nic919 says:

      Hahaha. Classic original PR lie from KP about the extensions. It truly is amazing how that childhood scar has since healed.

  20. JMoreno says:

    Baldy could’ve ironed his pants. There’s another photo of Kate offering the worms to another guy at the table who is completely ignoring her. She gets zero respect. Everyone follows her husband’s lead.

  21. Eenie Googles says:

    She looks beautiful in that blue

  22. Sofia says:

    Kate always looks (and honestly you can tell she actually enjoys these events the most) her best in these outdoorsy events. I think her reception blue dress is fine. Nice colour but it’s fine – not her best dress but not her worst. Definitely does look like it’s just… hanging off her. Which may be the point! Im not the best at fashion (I am a “if I like it and it fits, I’m wearing it”)

  23. Eurydice says:

    Well, the dress is too long and the buttons are not only distracting, but give an 80’s vibe (or is it 90’s? whenever those buttoned wrap-arounds were a thing), and the color is definitely “look at ME!!!”, but at least it’s all appropriate for the occasion – not like she wandered in from a different event.

    She seems to be at her best in sporty outfits, like her “scouts” jeggings, that’s when she seems natural and not self-conscious.

    Any photos from Will’s Earthshot event – wasn’t he supposed to do something with the winners?

    • Fanciful says:

      It’s very 80’s. the position of the buttons, the low waist and the long length. It’s giving me nightmares of dresses I wore then

      • ChattyCath says:

        I had a dress that colour. I got it on sale around 1985 and to my shame had to wear it some time after my second baby. Even at his Baptism. One old uncle thought it was a nurses outfit. I love blue but not that blue. Did you know ‘that’ blue is the cheapest dye in the World. It’s too long too.

  24. Merricat says:

    The fit looks weird because she’s so thin. You’re meant to have a bit of a figure for this, and she appears entirely made of cardboard, like a paper doll, so it lies straight, like it was stuck on.

  25. Elizabeth says:

    Kate looks way too skinny in these photos! Meanwhile Meghan has such great womanly curves especially after having the babies. Also Kate really needs a new stylist – that dress looks like the same stuff she’s been wearing for years. She should experiment more even if it’s just a different neckline or color.

  26. Amy Bee says:

    The new dress was too matronly and she bought new clothes for Scouts engagement when she has similar pieces in her wardrobe. COP26 was supposed to showcase the majesty and soft power of the monarchy but I think all it did was expose the royals for the lightweights they are.

  27. Kit says:

    I was laughing to myself when Kate is offerering some worms or something to two other delegates, they are looking at each other more or less saying ‘avoid, avoid ‘ !!!!!! Image she is de FFQ and she looks kinda drunk in that picture!!!!!!

    Kates dress is a gorgeous colour, although de fit us def off, has she got even thinner !!!!!

    • Feeshalori says:

      Why in Sam Hill is she bringing desiccated bugs to a reception? A recipe for hors d’oeuvre with the cocktails that she got from the Scouts event earlier?

      • JT says:

        What is going on with the bugs? Were they already there or did she bring them? And why is she showing them to everyone? It doesn’t make any sense to me. Can someone elaborate?

    • Amy Too says:

      Some of the childish stuff she does, with the big eyes, and the crazy smiles, reminds me of some of the stuff on Britney Spears’ Instagram. I think Brit was on a strong cocktail of drugs that she may not have even needed—like they were giving her stuff to make her seem “crazy” and “out of it”—but I’m not sure what’s going on with Kate to make her seem so infantile so much of the time. Britney had her entire life, work, parenting time, relationships, and image heavily controlled. When you’re no longer able to make any decisions or choices for yourself and your life is so controlled by others, it seems kind of natural that you would regress a bit. You’re being treated like a child who can’t do anything for herself all the time. And I feel like on a lesser scale, that’s Kate as well. She has much more freedom, she’s not being medically, mentally, physically, or psychologically abused, but she’s still infantilized, a lot of her life is tightly controlled by the palace, her mother, William, and those people are all very concerned with having her project a certain image. I wonder if there’s something about living like that that leads to one walking through life like a confused and immature 8 year old in an adult woman’s body.

  28. MsIam says:

    I think that blue dress is one of the most awful looks I’ve seen her in. Very unflattering length and style. At least it is not green. I like her vest in the scouting picture but we’ve seen that look over and over.

  29. Maria says:

    I actually like both of these looks a lot. Not a huge fan of the scarf with the vest but that’s it.
    Despite her doing it to coordinate with Diana’s ring all the time, I do like her in blue.
    Why are his teeth always clenched looking at her??

  30. Nancy says:

    As much grief as we gave Kate for the endless parade of cost dresses, it really was the best style for her shape. She has looked so awkward ever since she starting trying to dress like Meghan. I may be alone on this, but the cost dress, the jeggings–they flatter her, even if the styles are dated. When she wears long straight dresses or skirts, wide leg pants she just looks awkward. I have to say, recently the clothes are wearing her. The only exception is when she’s in formalwear, when she does shine.

    • TheNorthWing says:

      The jeggings are terribly dated, aren’t they? She doesn’t need to go wide-legged (although she’s slim enough to carry that off) but a slim jean rather that jeggings would look far more up-to-date.

      The dress, though? Terrible. Way too long, and while it’s a lovely shade of blue, not sure it’s a lovely shade of blue *on her*.

  31. Laura-Lee says:

    The dress is a great colour but dowdy in cut. Not dowdy? Williams pants! Dude, there were CHILDREN present. *clutches pearls and faints upon the setee*

    • antipodean says:

      It is an ongoing foible of Billy the Basher’s to wear ill fitting trousers, especially around the pubic area. I think it must be an actual choice of his to emphasize the “family jewels”, although why he would bother is a mystery. When you think of the talented tailors that he must have at his disposal to be able to avoid this situation, one can only conclude that it is his own personal choice/statement. Deeply weird, not to mention undignified, unattractive, and puerile.

  32. Matthew says:

    the pic where she’s trying to serve William a cup of bugs is the most natural looking smile I’ve ever seen on her

    • Weatherby says:

      Really? I was just thinking the opposite; her eyes are sad or disinterested or both.

      I was thinking how much of an *unnatural* smile it is.

    • MMadison says:

      She’s like a little kid playing with bugs. The problem is she’s at a serious event with adults

  33. Name keeps changing cos I delete my cookies says:

    She’s wearing a coat dress! I’m happy for her base, they missed this.

    • L4frimaire says:

      This is her comfort zone. Jeggings and frumpy coat dresses. That lue dress is not flattering. She looks like one of those sister wives from those breakaway polygamous LDS sects.

  34. MangoAngelesque says:

    Dramatically emphatic hands on full display! And William is side-eyeing the hell out of them, as per his wont. Can’t say I blame him, honestly.

  35. Margaret says:

    What is their purpose there?. They crashed the scout events. TBH there is absolutely nothing special about the blue dress.

  36. @poppedbubble says:

    FFK can’t not look at Kate that way, can he? Completely incapable of a different expression. Lol. Do they look a little tan?

  37. Nyro says:

    The dress is fine but the buttons need to be taken up a bit. And the dress is way too long. I think someone must have told her that long dresses compliment her height and so she sticks with them even if the length ruins the look, like this dress in particular.

  38. notasugarhere says:

    ‘PS… In the photo where it looks like she’s holding a small petri dish, she’s apparently offering dead bugs to William (and others). She was so pleased to find a container of dead bugs.’

    Typical W&K, mocking food that some people around the world eat. Food that in many places is life-sustaining. Just as she refused the UNICEF peanut paste because she was too precious, and wanted to start rumours about her expecting.

  39. Nicole says:

    I’m not one to comment on weight, but Kate looks painfully thin. I hope she’s okay.

    • CarrieVirginia says:

      Agree. I know we are not supposed to comment on weight but she is looking so very, very thin. It’s alarming.

  40. Zebz says:

    Why does William look happier looking at Camilla than his own wife? Wtf.

  41. aquarius64 says:

    You would think KP would get Kate in line after her G7 mess up with Jill Biden the staff would reign her in. Now she is bringing incests into the reception? I notice only the US gossip press is covering the keens.

    • Jaded says:

      Incests? I think you mean insects. They were probably there as examples of alternate sources of nutrition instead of raising cattle, etc. which decimates arable land and contributes to gobal warming. Trust Keen to make fun of them.

      • Feeshalori says:

        That would explain their presence but the way she’s carrying them around and shoving them at William, and even others?, is so juvenile.

      • aquarius64 says:

        I meant insects. What’s in the petri dish has been identified as LARVAE.

  42. AmelieOriginal says:

    The scout outfit is typical outdoorsy Kate look, she looks most happy when she is doing something outside. Why doesn’t she do more outdoorsy events? Whatever the equivalent is to the National Park Service in the UK, she should become a patron of that and promote the UK’s natural sites. She could learn a thing or two from the US National Park Service, especially their social media game. For anyone who doesn’t follow them on Twitter/Instagram, you should. There’s a reason their posts are so popular!

    As for the dress for the formal event, the color is fine but as everyone has said it is way too long and makes her look like a schoolmarm. The buttons are unnecessary.

    • notasugarhere says:

      She has messed up repeatedly with outdoors events. Never followed through on promises to work with the Scouts. Flew in on a helo to lecture impoverished kids about going to the countryside, played with her dog most of the time, flew off after less than an hour to go to polo. And there’s the fail of a kids garden, for which she did none of the work, claimed all the credit, and used it as an excuse to peddle her kids for PR.

  43. Over it says:

    The problem with Kate dress is that’s it’s too long. It would have looked nicer a little below the knee. And Kaiser you said she looks tired in your other post. I find this hilarious actually, she went on vacation with her nanny so I am guessing having to button her own buttons and put in her own wiglets must have been what exhausted her.or her and William got into a big fight because he won’t leave the other woman or she just found out there is a different other woman on top of the many other women. Sigh. Should have done what pippa did and just marry rich

  44. Same says:

    Willy should do something about … willy. I can’t unsee that . Bigger pants and maybe an iron 👀

    • MMadison says:

      He looks like he was rolling around in a rose bush all night and went from there to this event

  45. kelleybelle says:

    The dress is a pretty colour but overall too long. Kind of ugly actually. Is this all they’ve got? That she wore blue dress?

  46. Over it says:

    It’s glaringly obvious that moose knuckle can’t stand wiglet. So if he insist on going with her to her events, the least the Baldimort could do is pretend to be happy around her, or just not go.

  47. EveV says:

    I love the picture where everybody looks to be having a nice conversation and there’s Keen Kate looking straight at the camera, not even pretending to pay attention to what’s going on around her.

  48. CROOKSNNANNIES says:

    This was news. People still wear jeggings.

  49. J ferber says:

    It’s not dead bugs. It’s their marriage in a jar. And that expression of his like he’s smelling a fart is priceless. God, I hate seeing these two.

  50. Elle says:

    Willy gets a boner when he sees the press 😷

  51. Imara219 says:

    I like this outfit a lot. It’s the type of outfit I would wear pre-baby. Post-baby I would wear that outfit but with yoga leggings. Any who, they suck but I just wanted to comment on her outfit because I dug it. I can’t wait to sign my son up for the Scouts because it sounds awesome.

  52. Emerald Crystal says:

    There is a certain shade of blue 🔵 that’s called “Television Blue” because it looks so well on the screen. Hoda used to wear that color a lot on the Today show, if she’s still on the show. I haven’t watched it in years; anyway, it photographs well too. One thing I wonder is how old Kate is now. I could Google it, but I don’t really want to. But, it seems like she’s got a sagging face for someone who is probably in her 30’s. I wonder if she’s not taking care of it, or maybe it’s stress. Both can age you.

  53. Sparky says:

    @Bay I agree with you. If the length were the same as Camilla’s dress it would be lovely. Of course. I’m of Diana’s generation so as an oldie maybe I’m not the best arbiter of high fashion.

  54. Basi says:

    @NIC 919
    Excellent point! Kate is like Ivanka trump. Why the he— are they there with world leaders

  55. Julia K says:

    Kate dresses well for evening events usually, but this lovely blue dress is too long for her. She has nice legs so up that hemline a bit. What worries me is the expression on their faces, even when they know cameras are about. William has that tired look of a man who is now realizing that the choice he made years ago, to settle for Kate when no one else was available, is now coming to haunt him. Kate knows as well and there is nothing she can do to change it. Sad, really. Hope they can figure this out.

  56. Ania says:

    It is very funny to me that she often looks awful in those super-pricy designer pieces and looked great (to me) in a simple massimo dutti outfit.

    She is very slim and tall and that body type is perfect for smart outfits and generally easiest to clothe and somehow Kate manages to look dated and out of proportion. How does she do it?

  57. Keri says:

    Tbh I don’t see the skinny everyone keep saying. Maybe that’s because I’m 32′ 22′ 25′ (26E)……..with natural ass and hips as well. Then again I’m also 5’3 and kenyan…..and 30yo. Looking at her limbs though you can tell this isn’t meant to be her natural size. That’s why people think her hands and arms in general look manly. Smoking for weight loss ages the face. She needs to moisturise well. A bit too late now though. She should have started moisturising in her 20’s.

    • Lady D says:

      I smoked for 33 years and while I did, I never met a single person who smoked to keep their weight down. Every one I knew who smoked did so because they were addicted to nicotine. I’m sure there are some out there who do, I just never met one.

  58. ChattyCath says:

    Her behaviour is cringe making and embarrassing, can’t anyone stop her?

  59. jferber says:

    Lady D, in a Joan Crawford movie I saw (okay, I’ve seen them all) Joan’s character admitted to smoking to keep her weight down. This was in the 1930’s and people didn’t know how deadly cigarettes were. Now they do and Kate still smokes to keep her weight down. Why doesn’t she do cocaine like the other royals? In fact, maybe she does. Her manic energy can be a side effect of that drug? Also, how can such a slim woman look both dowdy and matronly? And she’s not even 40.

  60. What says:

    Your around world leaders and the British tabloids are making a big deal about pics of the royals with Biden and bezos. Yet what was in every single royals hand-a drink.

    What was in H&M’s hands after they meetings. Books, tablets, papers and notes.

    They’re playing chess while the royals aren’t modernizing and are playing checkers.

  61. Lane says:

    I really don’t want to give up on Kate but she sure better do something impressive soon or I’m done with her. What she wears is of no interest to me. Seems William feels the same way by the looks of recent pictures. He’s clearly bored with her.

    • Tessa says:

      This has been going on for years. Kate never got a “proper job” in the years before William finally proposed. There were all sorts of excuses made for her and promised “careers” that never materialized, like the baby clothes line which was all talk and the “museum exhibit” of Kate’s photographs which never happened. Then once she got married, the same pattern, she did very little and excuses were made, like the classic “Malta Years” where the Queen “wanted” her and William to have “private time” and “settle down” to marriage. In reality, the Queen did not have those two steady years in Malta, She was supporting her father and pinch hitting for him and spent some time in Malta but not for two straight years. I’ve given up on her.
