There are four things the new Princess of Wales loves more than anything. One, grabbing a dead woman’s jewelry before the body is cold. Two, cosplaying her dead mother-in-law. Three, copykeening her Black sister-in-law. Four, dressing up like a Victorian ghost. Well, on Friday, Kate got the chance to channel a Victorian ghost when she and William visited an Army Training Center in Surrey. As Princess of Wales, Kate has to adhere to the “mourning period” dress code, which means black hosiery, black shoes and black outfits. Queen Camilla has worn all black as well, only Camilla actually looks, you know, like a modern woman in 2022. Kate looks like she’s cosplaying an emotionally disturbed cousin in an E.M. Forster novel. Once again, Kate is wearing earrings which belonged to QEII. I also did a button count because I just can’t help myself. There are 14 buttons on Sgt. Keen’s coat. *sigh*
Meanwhile, there are rumors that the first tour the new Prince and Princess of Wales will undertake is a trip to Australia. They haven’t been in Oz since 2014. They got an okay reception in Australia back then, but it was nothing like the wall-to-wall success of the Sussexes’ South Pacific Tour in 2018.
Talks are under way to send the Prince and Princess of Wales – and their family – on an official tour Down Under next year, Australia’s prime minister has confirmed.
Anthony Albanese said that a royal visit is on the cards for William and Kate – and it is hoped that they will bring their children George, Charlotte and Louis, probably during the school holidays. Discussions on when the new King will make his first official visit to Australia as head of state have not begun. Mr Albanese told ITV: ‘There have been some preliminary discussions about the now Prince and Princess of Wales visiting Australia. And of course the Royal Family have always been welcome visitors here in Australia and they would be again.’
The last time William and Kate visited Australia was in 2014. They took along nine-month-old Prince George, whose popularity was such that he was dubbed the ‘republican slayer’.
Asked if that status made him ‘nervous’ to extend the invitation to the couple’s children, Mr Albanese said the young royals were more than welcome. ‘I think I would hope that if they visit, they bring their children with them,’ he added.
Mr Albanese, who will meet the King this weekend ahead of Monday’s funeral, has not ruled out holding a referendum on the republic if he is re-elected. But he said it was ‘inappropriate’ to discuss it while commemorating the Queen.
Yeah, as we’ve discussed before, Albanese isn’t a monarchist. He’s actually taken the first steps towards eventually making Australia a republic. If and when that happens, it will likely be by a national referendum vote. Albanese is being smart about a royal tour too – the way things have been going, by next year, William and Kate’s Oz tour will make their Caribbean Flop Tour look like a walk in the park.

Will there be much appetite for sending the Wails on an expensive tour after the difficult winter the UK will likely be facing?
Good question. We in Australia have suffered horrendous bush fires, heartbreaking drought droughts and devastating floods in the last two years. We are about to enter our third La Niña weather season, and expect more floods as a result, as well as bushfires as Summer hits. I guess some people will take comfort if the Wales’ visit during any of these events. But it’s more likely that people will be wanting to get on with the practical things, such as cleaning up etc.. I would rather our tax dollars go to something more deserving, substantial, important and long-lasting, rather than to entertain these two freeloaders and the kids .
Mr. Albanese has already said there’ll be nothing doing Republic-wise in this, his first term as Prime Minister. I’ve said all along that he will likely start the process in his second term. Even so ,that will take years,- because we don’t even have any idea of a model yet. It will be a very long and slow process. Right now, a lot of people here have been fixated on the events and changes in the UK in the last two weeks. The hoi polloi are showing a lot of sympathy, emotion and attachment to the British royal family right now. A referendum must have a majority of around 70% to be successful, and we still have a lot of very powerful and very vocal monarchists.
They don’t care at all about the public’s cost of living crises or appearances when it comes to the royals. I think they believe it distracts people from their worries instead of just calling attention to how absurd it is that any family is deciding between heat and food when we’re keeping 28,000 jewels locked up to appear once every 50 years.
Looking forward to seeing them get fired on local television again. This time by white people.
Don’t want to break the stride.
That was the funniest thing I think I’ve ever seen! My spouse watched with me and observed, “I think William was expecting that—but not her!” I agree…it seems tone-deaf for them to launch an expensive tour now. And the CHILDREN??? What about their schooling? You know, the whole reason they moved to the “cottage” in the first place…so the children wouldn’t be in a “fish bowl.” 🤬
I’ve become so cynical about this couple that I wouldn’t doubt that they’d bring their children along – to act as human shields from the press.
Henry’s and Meghan’s solar presence and dazzling success tour of Australia was the very starting point of Catherine’s jealousy and insecurity in public. In order to wipe the Sussex out of collective memory, the Wails are heading to Australia. Are they aware that their egotistical showcase spree will necessarily backlash into the white Commonwealth wanting to secede? Oh, goodness me, these self-absorbed low-wits. I can’t wait.
Good point about that tour being the trigger point, probably for more than just Kate, but definitely at least her.
One of the issues with trying to “wipe the Sussex out” is that H&M undertook very different kinds of tours than Will and Kate tend to. That Oceania tour blew anything W&K have ever done out of the water in terms of engagements. and on their two main tours, South Africa and Oceania, there was a real emphasis on more….approachable, I guess….events. Like yes we had that epic Fiji balcony moment and Meghan had some gorgeous gowns, but there was less a sense of “here we are on holiday, take our picture” which is how W&K’s tours tend to come across, even their Australia tours.
The writing is on the wall. Another unwanted tour where they are showed to the door.
Hopefully they’ll get fired again.
That’s why the Wales’ kiddies will be in tow. They are not taking chances on crowd hostilities or governmental rebuffs.
Their popularity has actually improved recently, especially since QE11 passed. The media here have also had non stop stories about how awful H and M are, even broadsheets. Most people believe it. The rest of the royals get a pass. A Republic will happen eventually but not for a while. The prime minister even called a public holiday Thursday for the death, and he’s a republican.
I predict a phot op with Kate and William trying a didgeridoo on a Land Rover. Kate will be wearing Alessandra rich, something with a puffy sleeve, and they will be looking scared around a group of indigenous people that they can’t help but be racist towards.
🥚 was super rude to the Australian press and most people found him arrogant, off-putting, and dull. Kkkate is boring and dull and mean, so I envision some serious follies, bc the the new PM isn’t going to coddle them and prevent the press from asking questions. Also they only go to be fawned over, not to do anything of merit so I see this being protested from start to finish and bulliam writing another letter claiming he didn’t like them anyway
Seems to me it would be more important for the new King to visit the countries that actually are retaining him as monarch.
Charles is super unpopular here, his visit would put the republic vote in the bag… in which case it could very well be money well spent 😂
No thanks. Thanks to modern technology, we knew he was King straight away. No need to come pat us on the head to reassure us at *our* expense, especially given the $$$$ it’s going to take to reprint and rename everything just to see his stupid face on things. Just wave to us from there, Chaz.
That was the funniest part of the aftermath these last 10 days, it’s been ‘inappropriate’ to talk about colonialism and becoming a republic, but the minute someone discussed Charles going on our money all the nay-sayers (which includes monarchists) came out for his head 😂
Very popular CP Mary of Denmark is from Australia. They might want to let a little more time go by before a visit to OZ after dis-inviting her to the queens funeral.
@Lizzie, I’m glad you wrote this as it was my first reaction to this article, too! They’ve managed to bury the fact that Mary was told bot to come, but if and when they plan their visit, this story will get airtime.
I am convinced something went down on Khate’s 24 hour trip to Denmark. Probably something minor where Khate realised how incompetent and ridiculous she looked compared to Mary, and now Khate has decided to actively mean girl her to the extent possible. Press can blame the Foreign Office as much as they like, won’t convince me otherwise.
Speaking of mean girl
Go back and watch the video of mean girl Kate making her daughter turn around when she turned back to look at Meghan. Charlotte clearly says “oww”
Go back and watch the video of William telling Catherine to let California in first. Look how mean girl clearly blocks Meg with not only her body but her hand so there’s no way to get around her unless she moves. While knowing that Meg was behind her
Watch the whole video when William tells her since they’re the perfect couple in love🤔 and she backs up all the way that will tells Charlotte to go before Catherine.
Lying body expert Judi James glosses over that fact when she was making up stuff for the rota.
It’s clear to anyone who has 👀 and common sense where the prince and princess of Walls current relationship is
Yes those videos really showed that Kate has mega issues with Meghan. William had to tell her to let Harry and Meghan go first because it’s clear there was arranged seating but Kate was playing her games.
The video where Meghan smiles at Charlotte who is looking at her and then is forced to turn around by Kate is sad. It seems like the kids don’t carry the same grudge.
@WHAT I asked on another thread where it was in the funeral; do you have a minute mark? I wanted to see it but only watched the funeral in fast forward, more or less.
@JaneBee — IIRC, she was very late several times for meetings and events. Too busy getting her wiglets on right and 10 lbs of makeup.
Oh snap! I didn’t realize she was Australian. That’s a massive fuck up that won’t be easily forgotten.
@what, I really want to watch these videos but don’t want to drudge through the sludge that was the funeral. Is there any way someone can kindly provide the link, or if it’s from the entire funeral, the time mark of the incidents?
@Lux the one from Windsor (where William tells kate to wait) is all over twitter. I think if you just search something like “william kate chapel windsor 9/19” it will probably show up (I can’t get to twitter on this computer.)
The video is interesting bc its a combination of William having common sense (why would he and Kate sit down first when then Harry and Meghan would have to walk past them to get to their seats?) and the interactions between the couples.
She is also Scottish. Both her parents were born in Scotland. Her father is from Edinburgh.
@becks1 thanks for the info, but my Twitter skills must be severely lacking. All I’m getting is the same 3:50min video of the procession inside the church 😓 Other searches turn up nothing. Darn.
I just realized that they also can’t visit Australia close to this time of year because people will associate QE2’s funeral with the BFO’s rudeness to Mary. Depending, that might make other QE2 milestones (birthday, jubly period) tricky as well. And maybe a dumb question: Is Charles the one sending them there to deal with potential fallout from this?
Lol she looks like Nanny Mcphee.
Remind me, how did their last charm offensive go?
*snort* 😂😂😂
I’m assuming that’s why they need the children along…they don’t HAVE any charm by themselves. Also, they can look like a happy family, rather than a separated couple sharing child custody.
Oh…you mean their offensive lack of charm don’t you?
If Keen is in mourning black, why is Baldemort in blue? *confused*
That’s been my question throughout as well (blue suits for the men and, it looked like to me, George yesterday). And this looks like a black tie with a blue suit?
I think for men, navy suits count as mourning attire.
No actual idea, but my guess is because historically, women have to carry the emotional labour, and we all know how much this family loves regressive traditions.
In the UK, wearing a black tie with a black, navy or dark grey suit is usually regarded as acceptable for men.
So K doesn’t turn up in hot pink like she did to the 911 Memorial in NY.
The Waleses will take their children with them to Australia for a couple reasons: a buffer because their marriage is a mess; and because they know nobody is interested in seeing these two clowns but bring along the kids, especially Louis, and you’ve got yourself a cute show
But is that even allowed? Aren’t the kids supposed to be in school? Sorry but i can’t help but feel like this kids are exploited
I mean, it clearly says during the school holidays…
@Carol, And because when they took baby George with them the last time, the monarchy became less unpopular in Oz.
That also keeps the kids out of Carole’s control during the holidays as I’m sure they would otherwise be staying at Middleton Manor or vacay with the Middletons. Instead, the Waleses will be working.
Generalisima Jeggings will certainly try to buy the public’s approval or shield herself from its disapproval by trotting out the generalisimitos. No bueno.
These two just aren’t charismatic enough to charm anyone as POWs. The only chance for them is to trot out the kids constantly.
they’ll have to bring all the kids and throw them out front in order to get the positive attention. they aren’t great at one-on-one meetings. no one comes away saying they are ever memorable or charming or interesting
If Kate speaks they will need an interpreter with that fake accent.
We ah sew veddy heppy to be heah in [looks at notes] Cawnadaw.
I guess all the children will be more and more visible in the near future. It’s expected since George is the heir and they need something fresh to attract interest. The present slimmed down monarchy certainly can’t…
@Anna I’m trying to remember what they (but especially Kate) ever talked to people about before they had kids and could say, “oh, George loves this,” or “you’re Charlotte’s favorite,” or “Louis wished he could have come with us today!” etc. Because by now that’s ALL they ever talk about at engagements, and I genuinely cannot remember what on earth they did before.
Kate really does look like a woman from the Victorian age in that outfit. There’s nothing modern about her. As for the tour they’ve been itching to go to Australia since Harry and Meghan went in 2018. I’m going to predict that the tour is going to be another flop.
I think she looks like she’s selling war bonds in early 1940’s in these photos.
Oh Lizzy, that sounds too much like work for poor Kate lol.
@Lizzie, I think that’s her favorite era. She wore something else recently that looked just like 1947 Dior New Look to me.
I know commentators on here have puzzled about this for ages and come up with all sorts of explanations, but for the millionth time, why on earth does she look so drab and dowdy in her clothes? If 1940s styles with 80 yards of fabric and 38,000 buttons are her jam – she has the height and the skeletal thinness to pull it off. If anyone could, she should. But she doesn’t.
It’s bad when women 30+ years older like Camilla and Anne look better in their clothes. Only Sophie is worse and sometimes I wonder if that’s on purpose.
Salvation Army, ca. 1921.
It was more military cosplay here but she ended up looking like a crabby Mary Poppins.
It is beyond absurd that she still does cosplay at military engagements and for Remembrance Day. She could have served but chose not to. Pretend military gear from someone who never bothered to serve is just authoritarian nonsense.
I’m not sure going anywhere out of Britain is a good idea anymore.
Wait, wasn’t that an actual announcement after the Flop Tour, that they would only do smaller/domestic tours in future?
Given the state of inflation and heating fuels — especially in the UK and Europe — I agree that ANY kind of tour or spending would be hugely out of touch. Especially after the last week. KCIII should lay low, keep his head down and get on with the transition as quietly and cheaply as possible.
With their natural charisma, sincere interest, and loving relationship, I’m sure they will make a success of a tour. What’s that you say? It’s W&K not H&M? Sorry. Nothing to see here.
Victorian ghost sums it up. Canada, Aus and NZ are the only safe places that the White Wailses can tour.
Ick no tour here please
Dear KP
Just a note to let you know, we’ve moved. We no longer live next door to Australia. We will send you our new address once we get change of address cards printed (That may take a while).
Love
New Zealand
Cathy, LOLOLOLOLOL
Turnout for them here in Canada was abysmal. Nobody’s interested in seeing them. It may be safe for the White Wails, but that’s due to massive disinterest, especially from our Indigenous Canadians and POCs. We’re a very multicultural country.
They’re bringing the kids because that’s the only way they’ll get the press coverage they want, and having the kids along will shield them from criticism (in their minds.)
“No William and Kate couldn’t do more than 3 events in 5 days, think of the children!!!!”
Those kids really ARE being put to work early. I just didn’t predict this early. I thought george would at least have the chance to turn 18 first.
Albanese: Step into my parlor.
Albo’s survived decades of internal Labor party factional politics, including the chaos of the Rudd/Gillard/Rudd years when many good people fell by the wayside.
He’s compassionate *and* wily. He knows damned well this will advance the republican cause. 😂
First thing: I look forward to Kate pulling her ultimate “anti-Diana” routine in Australia. Where Diana punctured the momentum of an energized republican movement, I fully expect Kate to rise the occasion and energize the republicans after the Jubbly and funeral combo has kind of taken the air out of the room for them. Come with your diamonds and pearls, darling, and remind them why someone this opulent shouldn’t also get a free ride from taxpayers. We’re all counting on you.
Also. These two are supposed to be forty, right? FORTY? As in, both younger than Meghan?
Life is sometimes its own reward.
I adore everything about this comment Dee. Everything!
This must have been written before the press gleefully reported that Crown Princess Mary had been uninvited to the funeral…Anyway, has Clown Prince William stepped his style game up? He doesn’t look like a hot ass mess as usual. CPW still acting like Kate’s invisible despite the recent headline about them displaying pda. And for someone who loves to constantly wear high heels, how is it that Kate’s shoe game is NEVER on point? And her dress? Just why??? Kate the Great Disappointment… the saga continues.
Argh! You can see her shoulder blades and ribs poking out of the back of the coat. Her face is gaunt. Kate has lost a lot of weight recently. Are they feeding her at Adelaide Cottage given there’s no staff?
Maybe actually having the Tour is part of Albanese’s plan to achieve a Republic?
Well, he did appoint an Assistant Minister for the Republic, which we’ve never had before, so you are on to something, I think.
Hilariously, the AM was sworn in by the Governor General.
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/jun/01/minister-republic-twilight-queen-reign-good-opportunity-next-for-australia
Yikes…um…just…yikes.
This suggestion is enough for me to start looking at tickets out of here. The headlines that the morning show sycophants will generate is enough for me to think anytime the Wales’s visit is a opportune time to holiday elsewhere 🙄 2023 Australia for Republic 🤞
How Kate clothes and both of their faces always managed to look like they traveled back in time for the clothes meanwhile traveling to the future with how fast they are aging is a complete mystery to me. But I guess your inner demon somehow always manages to show up on Your face at some point.
Sigh, I feel like I am being punished for something I have no control over.
At least I live in a tiny town, no chance they will be inflicted on us.
The clout chasing William and Kate will receive a much different reception than the Sussexes. Their lack of charisma and authenticity will be glaringly obvious.
Still chasing rainbows?
Those two need to stay in Britain where they are surrounded by their racist fans. Stay away from other countries and leave folks alone.
Just no. Don’t want them in Australia. Don’t want to pay for their PR porn tour.
Republic please.
As an Australian, my immediate reaction seeing the headline was “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!”
I can’t wait for these two to alienate the Australians. Even if they bring the kids for kinder press, they’ll still come off wooden, dull, uncharismatic, and less achieved than the children.
Isnt last year during that forest fire ( sorry i cant remember) in australia. Willie and wait offered to come and give a condolence tour. And they said no thanks just send a check instead.
I think that happened in 2019 or 2020?
Maybe its Wee Willie’s method of “losing” kate?
“We were in the outback and a dingo got her”
“She had no chance to fight as the dingo weighed more”
All that’s left of her is jewelry
😂
“A dingo ate my Katie”
😂😂😂
Australian here
Omg @Roo you just made me snort laugh 😆
At this rate, a visit from these two is going to become synonymous with “and then they became a republic”.
But I am interested in what this means for the famously workshy Wails – will they actually have to (gasp) work now that the supply of senior royals is visibly diminished? Because you know they are going to compare the current POW’s engagement numbers to the former.
I suspect that W and K will try some version of “we only want to do the big, important tours and glam events, you can stuff your ribbon cuttings etc”. But I don’t think it’s going to go over that well.
In today’s I newspaper there is an article out laying out Will’s role expansion and it states in 2021 Charles carried out 385 public engagements whereas his son only did 235 (Kate managed 117!,) Instead of seething and plotting and smearing both his brother and SIL why doesn’t FK and head of CE be a better Christian and devote himself to charity work and service to the less well off? His own mental health and that of others would definitely benefit if he adopted a life of good works and positive thoughts and actions!
Holy shit, Baldemort is really rocking that combover ba ha ha ha ha clown.
He really needs to just shave it all off at this point. At the very least, don’t do a damned combover!
yes, bald can be very sexy, but ‘balding” cannot.
With each passing year Wills looks more and more like his father. He sure has lost anything Diana have him.
Someone should do a side by side of these two against Crown Prince Frederik who is 54 and Crown Princess Mary who is 50. I wonder sometimes if Diana didn’t curse William from beyond for him being such a tool. And Kate w/o photoshop…well…..
Schools in the UK were all closed on Monday but even if they had not been pupils get special permission to be off for funerals etc. The Times today “King Charles’s tenure of the throne must be much shorter than that of his mother. William and Kate, as we may still be allowed to call them, should henceforward assume many royal burdens and undertake many public appearances, because it is unrealistic to expect a man of the King’s age to so it all”. That’s them told but will they?
I hope there are people who will see how inadequate they are she is no Diana
Eeeuuw. At least there’s nothing about them inflicting their awful selves on NZ. Chuck and Camilla have threatened a ‘charm offensive’ on Aus and NZ, but we can probably completely ignore them like last time.
Australia 2014 … wasn’t that when Kate’s yellow dress blew up in the wind getting off the plane and we were all treated to a view of her naked hoo-haw?
It was the blue and white dress she wore that showed her bare butt to the world. We didn’t get a look at the royal hoo-haw but sure got a back view. I don’t think she was totally commando but was wearing the teensiest of butt floss. The only paper that published it it was Bild (German tabloid).
You know you’re boring when people specifically request you bring your children.
Kate has the eyes and face of a villainess. And she’s earned that face, that prematurely aged, puffy face. Also, notice the soldiers are happier to stand next to Kate than William is, who either looks away or past her? He only smiles in the first picture, looking at the crowds, one step closer to world domination as the English king (he thinks).
She was quite a glowing woman in the early years but the combo of the tea length hemlines and the stern, clenched look she wears when she’s being serious have started to make her look more like Will’s older governess than wife. Or it’s not the combo, but the lesson of the Real Housewives in choosing your figure or your face.
They’ve really given up on photoshopping Kate, it’s quite remarkable.
Changing the Australian constitution is rather a tall order–any change has to be approved by a majority of voters and by a majority of voters in each state. After the last referendum failed the Australian republicans decided to wait until after the Queen died to try again; I’m sure the new campaign will have started by the time this tour actually happens.
I wonder if anyone knows how much Chutney has spent on clothes and jewelry in the last 11 plus years?
Makes sense. Out of Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, Australia has always been the biggest republican hold out. The calculus here is to exploit the sympathy around the Queen’s death to solidify the continuance of the monarchy in Australia.
That being said…time fades people’s memories. And I think everyone’s sympathy is extended only so far as the Queen. I think a year on, after the mourning is in the rear view mirror, Australians will absolutely be back to their more or less skeptical sentiments when it comes to the monarchy.
The b-tchy part of me just desperately wants these two to f-ck it up so bad that Australia has no choice but to be so appalled, they boot these useless f-cks on the spot. I want tantrums in the open. I want Baldy to get Tik Toked being an asshole. I want to see Kate being exposed for being a racist Karen. C’mon Australia. Do it for the team!!!!!! We’re all counting on you!!!!
Kate is so severe-looking. She looks like a mean headmistress.
