In the past month, the Prince and Princess of Wales have only made one public appearance or event: the church walk on Easter Sunday. No one knows for sure where they were on their month-long holiday, although most people assume they spent the bulk of that time at Anmer Hall in Norfolk. We usually don’t find out about their international travels until much later. In any case, today they ended their vacation and traveled to Birmingham for a day of local events. According to the Mail, they traveled by train. Shocked that they didn’t travel by helicopter! They probably took their helicopter from Norfolk to London, which is where they “caught the train.” Just like us!
Kate is wearing a Karen Millen dress in a muted merlot shade. The dress currently retails (on sale) for £183.20. It’s called the “midi trench dress.” Y’all know who else likes trenches and trench-style dresses? CopyKeen Kate is at it again. That being said, this also feels retro, like she’s trying to reference a look from Princess Diana.
One of their first stops was an Indian restaurant, where they wore aprons and helped out in the kitchen? Unsanitary.
Hope we told this customer to come to the right place…! @indianstreatery pic.twitter.com/0dxzpegLqt

Of what I can see, it’s nice. Good color, classic shape. I wish her shoes were not always so matchy. Navy blue heels would still be basic but better.
Agreed, navy shoes would have been a much better choice. But she looks great.
Wigginton of wails does look very nice. The color looks great on her.
As she had big blue prominently displayed as well as blue accented earrings, blue shoes would have completed the look. She doesn’t look bad, per se, but the blue would have better choice. As others have pointed out as it’s spring, a pastel would have been a better choice too!!
But she didn’t disappoint with her jazz hands!! They made an appearance as well!! Shocker…
I think it’s one of the best she’s worn from what I can see of it. Classic style, nice fit, great colour. Nary a button or bow in sight lol. I’m in agreement with you on the matchy shoes as well… I personally would have gone with a classic black patent pump!
Yes, agreed. She’s so matchy matchy. Another time where if she had an actual stylist it would help elevate her look. Navy heels, no necklace since she’s wearing big earrings, and for the love of god-pull back that hair into something else. It just weighs down her face.
Her hair really is out of control. SMH
Listen, I’m just happy they’re not boring nude shoes so I don’t mind the matchy matchiness. The shoes and the dress are a lovely color. Not wearing her hair up while cooking makes everything about this a farce though. Burgundy Barbie in the kitchen pretending to help. That said, if their visit brings the restaurant substantial more business, then cool.
Yes, very pretty dress for fall maybe, not spring. And styled differently. And perhaps worn by someone else?
I agree! The dress would be lovely in the Fall, not in Spring! Bring on the pastels!
Some of us just aren’t pastel people. I detest them. And red, yellow, blue all exist in spring, too! Lol
It’s a good look on her (can’t believe I said that AAAAAAAAAAAHhhhhh) and at least it’s not some atrocious spring floral or covered in buttons.
Navy would look good, I love navy and that merlot shade together. I kind of like the dress.
I do not like that photo of William leaning forward and laughing, those people may have nightmares of that.
@seemalikely it’s not that serious.
Her posture is terrible. Otherwise it’s a typical Cambridge outing….VOID of anything useful and Kate pretending she is having so much fun!
I think this dress is slightly better than her usual looks because it hasn’t been altered to within an inch of its life to be form fitting. The slightly looser silhouette looks good on her. Lovely colour. I agree about the shoes.
But the earring pairing is horrendous and there’s something about the fabric that feels like it wasn’t ironed properly but im being picky
Either she never styles the earrings right, they’re not for her, or they just look cheap, I can’t decide. They are a repeat wear and I still am not a fan.
Great color, decent fit dress on K.
She’s with W. I just read the article on W (according to Marca) being verbally abusive towards K…that article came out 2 days ago and then today, for the first time in a month or so W&K are smiling together in public? Yikes.
And with the food: pull back your hair!
Kate wears cheap dress ($225 US) and we should all be happy that it didn’t cost $2,250. Doesn’t she look great.
The morphing to Meghan 2.0 is complete.
So tragic to see a woman in the 4th decade of her life still with no real persona or interests of her own.
Precisely.
Maybe she decided, when in doubt go with a winner?
Tongue-in-cheek
“I’ll be Meghan, they want her’. /s
I agree with Kaiser and other commenters, Kate has a Look Book containing nothing but Meghan’s prior outfits!
That being said, this outfit looks good on her. The color makes her skin pop.
Looks like they’re still on vacation.
That’s what I call leisure activity!
I can only say one thing about her choice of clothes today: she just doesn’t get it right. No matter how hard she tries…
What?! Can’t you see show hard they’re working at that restaurant? Their devotion to service in the name of the crown knows no bounds.
Meghan wore this color (and rocked it) a while back. But of course, Waity and none of her people knew anything about that.
Awww. She is wearing Indian earrings for her outing to an Indian restaurant. That girl has never met a theme she couldn’t sartorially walk past.
Love the color of the dress.
p.s. It always grosses me out that she doesn’t wear her hair up when working with food.
It would be gross if she was actually working with food instead posing for photos. But I love the color – not fond of the incredibly long skirt, but she’s a head taller than I am so she can carry it.
I caught the Indian earrings too — I am side-eying it, but since I’m not Indian or South Asian, I’ll defer to other people’s judgment.
Also, regarding the sanitary situation with the hair: as an American, yes this codes as unsanitary. I’m not sure what it’s like in the UK, but I’ve spent extensive amounts of time in western Europe and I’ve never seen a food worker wear gloves, hair net or anything. So maybe that’s the culture in the UK as well…?
I don’t think Buttons can pull the wiglet back into a ponytail 😅
Imagine the horror!!! The Wiglet would be trying to escape from a life of torture and “overworked”. 🤕
Whew! That photo in the tweet screams “these are the faces of the people who drugged you and stole your kidney while laughing at how much they made selling it.”
Whoa! Your mind took a dark turn!
Valid. In my defense, your honor, *presents creepy ass photo of WandK trying to look “friendly”*.
I can’t say that’s exactly where I went but I did pause and consider the choice to post that pic to their IG. Yikes.
My first thought was that Will looked like a braying donkey! Second, the restaurant would be warned about staff not wearing hair nets. Our little Kate is copying again but isn’t that supposed to be the most sincere form of flattery? She does look very good and happy, non?
I can see that. If I walked into a restaurant and was greeted with the manic creepy energy of these two I would slowly back out.
Agree that it’s definitely a choice for their social media person to use that photograph. How bad were the rest for that to be their choice?
😂😂😂
Did they just cos play waiters? Wtf?
Copykeen strikes again 😂 oh that face and manic smile/laugh… it’s so insincere.
Ps: I have the same dress
May I borrow it? It’s lovely!
Look we have teeth just like you. Going to a restaurant is considered work? The PR outings continue. Nothing useful to see here.
“Going to a restaurant is considered work?” Well, granted, it’s not as arduous as a short walk to church and waiving to the poor, but I hear that it does work up a sweat.
Fashion revolutionary Prince Burger King is upping his sartorial game and has added a pocket square to a dark jacket, which replaces his usual faded blue thing. Too soon to add the Dior shirt Harry wore, I guess. So he doesn’t shock the peasants with his wardrobe transformation, I see that, at least for now, he’s sticking with his old reliable, worn-out blue oxford shirt underneath. He must sleep in that thing.
Yes, but in place of the bee there will be a peg or an egg.
@Harper, that jacket color comes off as the wrong choice as well as his pants as they look to be corduroy, possibly? Though they aren’t all wrinkled from being on the floor so that is a step up for WanK. And his pocket square eerily matches CopyKeens dress as well. I guess that they read the article written by Marca, perhaps??
What the hell is with his chest hair exposure these days?
So happy to see her wearing clothes that look like something she would were before Meghan came on the scene. I hope she keeps this up.
She looks good! Burgundy (or muted merlot) is a nice color on her… doesn’t she have a very similar coatdress that she wore back in November during a state visit at the official welcome (sorry, I don’t remember the name or the country of the person who visited London)?
I was just thinking of that dress she wore to look at the portrait of herself at the NPG.
She has another one? How many dresses of the same color and cut does she own?
Hideous color on her post vacation olive complexion. Frumpy dress with a hideous cut. Karen’s drowning in Karen’s oversized dress.
Plus, if these two faces were uncovering their mouths full of teeth right in my face, I would need therapy to get rid of the vision.
That pic in the pub is worthy of a horror movie.
That weirded me out, too! I’d’ve taken a few steps back with William baring his teeth at me like that.
Immediately thought, matching cleavage cuts, cute.
The bug-eyes are out in full effect. She’s so embarrassing.
Seriously she always look like she’s on drugs. It’s not a good look.
oh man I don’t like it. I was kind of hopeful from the top picture – good color on her – but no, I don’t like it. the shoes don’t go, the fit looks off, I don’t really like the long pleated skirt with the trench-style top. its a no from me.
at least their vacation is over?
I love the colour but yeah, seeing the cropped images of just the top make me think she’s wearing a coat with nothing on underneath.
Kate the subway flasher!
Yikes.
I don’t like it either and I can’t put my finger on why but I just find it very outdated and just hanging on her. Maybe if her hair was up and out of the way it would more sleek and fashionable? Her hair is getting to that too long stage too where it just billows around her face pretty uselessly.
Every dress she wear is badly adjusted for her that’s why. Maybe she lost too much?
Please, PLEASE will someone make her wear a mask again, or give those teeth back to Jim Carey! And that’s a long way to go for a take away.
@Mary Pester: 😅😂🤣
Omg😂
She’s been at the botox again – the eyebrow of doom is back. Also I just can’t with the gurning – she’s clearly desperate to move her face which is why we keep getting those expressions.
The colour does suit her thou – thats the only nice thing i can say.
Perhaps she can pick a left-handed plastic surgeon to make her eyebrows even, next time? Just saying.
See I was going to say that the botox has been allowed to wear off. It’s been a long time since Kate has allowed her forehead to have any lines. I’m surprised that she’d allow it so close to the big coronation but maybe she wants it to be fresh for the big day.
I can’t handle the long hair and wiglet over the apron. It’s a restaurant and pretending to do food preparation with untied long hair is just gross.
This would look great on Duchess Meghan, since this is Meghan’s style. And she wouldn’t have the Botoxed runaway eyebrow.
I think Meghan’s worn a maroon dress with front buttons already. She was photographed boarding a plane during the Oceana tour with Harry. Her proportions looked right though on that tour.
William is starting to mirror Kate’s facial expressions at these events
Don’t care what she is he wears . These two deserve to burn in hell for the pain and abuse they have heaped on Meghan and Harry and their children. They will never be redeemable In eyes .
Same. All these “she looks nice” comments and I’m over here wondering when KKK robes became wine colored?
What is wrong with the left side of her face? Right below the cheekbone there is a dark pit and farther down is a train wreck????
They look very excited and happy to be there ,bless their little hearts.
She spends crazy amounts of money yet always looks the same. What’s the point? Does she buy a dress, wear it once and immediately forgets about it, so buys identical after some time?
Look, everyone, we don’t shy away from brown people! Why, we’re laughing it up on our visit! 🙄
(Followed by, please watch the Con and cheer for us. Please).
those fake smiles and guffaws are so bad. NOTHING is that funny. NOTHING. Kate looks like she has tetanus or something.
Has anyone else noticed that Camilla seems to have locked Kate out of the royal jewelry closet. Most of her jewelry lately looks very cosmetic and cheap.
Not just the jewellery, her retreat into High Street Fashion raises the question of what, exactly, William is doing with the billions raised by the Duchy of Cornwall. Isn’t Kate allowed designer clothes, or access to good quality pret a porter?
He in particular looks very sun-kissed especially across the cheeks. I want to know about their sunny holidays because it’s a nice escape from the gray skies London keeps having! I’d respect them so much more if they just owned their 3 week holiday having lifestyle. We know you have 4 homes, you are not “just like us” so just embrace it and be honest about your interest in beaches.
Actually, it was 4 weeks
@Ceej: Please avoid using any form of the word “kissed” in reference to Willy. Just had lunch.
Kate is so just so meh.
Something is fundamentally wrong with William. He always seems “off”, and never more than when he’s interacting with “commoners”. Not sure if he’s clowning or if he is just that socially awkward. His weird gesture in that picture makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!
He has no redeeming qualities, no discernible personality (except incandescence), and no home training.

i think Kate looks nice, but the dress just seems to hang on her. She’s showing a tan line, so one can surmise she has been somewhere sunny and warm during the school holiday? Or tanning at Anmer. If I recall, Kate used to wear her skirts above the knee- some bordering on mini. She seems to have swung a bit too much into maxi’s, imo, and perhaps a shorter length might be more flattering. I think it’s rather nice to have shoes to match the colour of the dress- it creates a long, continuous line. It also means that one has a very extensive shoe collection to be able to do that. Most of us have a couple pairs of neutral pumps to wear that go with everything.
” it’s rather nice to have shoes to match the colour of the dress- it creates a long, continuous line “: How is this extended monochromatic line supposed to enhance an already maxi dress, in this particular case?
It’s so tragically grannyish-looking.
Yes, I agree about the granny look, Sugherhere. I said a shorter skirt length would be better in my comment.
It’s a good color but she needs a matching fedora to complete the Carmen Sandiego look.
shes drinking water and wearing a loose fitting dress. pregnant maybe? wonder how/if she talked him into that?
I’ve seen photos of her today in a tweet and she was way too thin…I doubt it.
Way too frail for a fourth pregnancy, she and Will can barely stand each other, and Will didn’t even want a third baby.
All those expressions seem a bit over the top like they are trying to hard. I am just noticing this from the pics. I can imagine how it seems when you are in the room with them. It comes off as fake.
Well, her dress is too long, again. Why does she keep doing this? The color is fine for her. I suspect she chose this dress because it’s not $2,000. The loser fit is to show the masses that she can wear a dress off the peg just like them.
Is it my imagination, or is WanK trying to be H&M when talking with others at these engagements? I wonder if they watch video after video to mimic what H&M do. I wish they would quit. This just appears very odd and unnatural for them.
She looks thin and ill
They both look drunk. A Karen wearing Karen. Next.
Despite everything, they look happy, and I hope they are.
I really like this look for her. She doesn’t wear it like M so not as kopy keen as normal. It’s styled VERY Kate. Also not thousands of pounds. It’s a low bar but I’m happy to give Kate a modicum of credit.
I normally think Kate looks great, so this is no different. I don’t think she is copying anyone. The fashion of the day is the fashion available to all. Plum and wine are not my favorite colors, but I think they look good on her.
I can’t figure the hair. Does everyone where added hair these days? It’s so weird to me.
