King Charles, the Prince of Wales and the Princess of Wales are all out and about right now. They hosted a special lunch at Buckingham Palace today for the “Realm Governors General” and various prime ministers. Basically, all of the visiting heads of government arrived early for the coronation and the king gave them a free lunch, in exchange for interacting with Jazz Hands and Incandescent With Rage.
I don’t have an ID on Kate’s dress but it doesn’t look like a repeat, although the style is very familiar. She loves that silhouette. She got a fresh blowout for the lunch and honestly, her hair looks better today than it’s looked in months. King Charles looked the same as he has since his mother passed away: joyful, happy as a clam. It’s finally HIS moment. I am curious why Queen Camilla wasn’t around for the lunch. Maybe she had a hair appointment or a fitting.
After the lunch, Charles did a walkabout outside of the palace to thank people for coming out. Was Camilla with him? I don’t think she was. But William and Kate walked around for a while too, wearing the same outfits from the lunch.

Is she wearing the exact same shoes M wore? Like exactly the same?
Yep!
Two birds with one stone you see
Work on erasing Meghan’s image whilst at the same time having the attention on her by wearing Meghan’s signatures
@Layla … Kate’s dress is nearly the same as the dress Meghan wore in that family pic with George seated on Charles’s lap on a bench, Charlotte seated next to Camilla on the bench, Kate and William standing directly behind Charles (with Kate holding baby Louis), and Harry and Meghan standing to the right of them?
The only difference is that Meghan’s dress was sleeveless.
She’s cosplaying at least three Meghan outfits plus wearing the black version of Meghan’s fav shoes.
The weird thing is, I think she imagines she looks better in them than Meghan, and that she’s won because she’s wearing them when Meghan isn’t coming. In reality, she doesn’t look like either of these things; she just looks jealous. Why would you belittle yourself so publicly. Her head is stuck in teenage mode, while the world around her has grown up. She is the least sophisticated woman ever.
@sparrow that’s exactly it. She’s just belittling herself. she’s showing herself to be petty and jealous and…..well, small. how can she not see what a bad look this is for her? I mean even the DM is calling her out for this.
Wow just wow. Girl has got some big brass stalker vibes.
She’s seriously the queen of trolls. She’s trolling with those shoes. No shame. At this point, she knows how Meghan fans will react when she copykeens and she’s strait up trolling. Whatever gets her out of bed, I guess.
And the fact that she trolls tells the world how permanently Meghan lives rent free in her head.
The shoes are definitely “inspired by” Meghan. But Kate has worn dresses *exactly* like this one in the past, way before Meghan came along.
@jais, I haven’t thought that till you mentioned it! You’re right! Among all days, events, occasions in general, she chose this day and occasion (just before struggly) with international coverage to wear them! She was successful in throwing away Meghan and she enjoys her “victory “by appropriating Meghan’s looks and trying to erase her completely… but the way she’s disappearing in front of our eyes is telling a different story to us.
@lorelei- agree about the dress. It’s very Kate. Designed to show her slimness. The shoes however are a troll move. @firstcomment- clearly, Kate values being thin so I swear if she wears Meghan’s shoes while being the thinnest of them all she thinks she’s won. Thinnest is not fairest though
Jais that is a good point. Apparently trolling Meghan is the only way they can get her to do any work. What a petty small minded small impact person she is
Meghan is at this coronation because Kate can’t let go of her jealousy. It’s hilarious. Thanks for paying homage, Kate! I’m glad she’s acknowledging that Meghan is the blueprint.
Literally anything for clicks. If you refer back to “Spare,” making the front page (which in today-speak, would be getting the most eyeballs/likes/
clicks/engagement) is all they care about. They will shave their heads, they will SWF, they will unleash their hairdressers…they are absolutely shameless and it shows. And it works. Our outrage is all engagement for a Keen event that would otherwise be completely unremarkable. It’s the easiest way for her to get attention, second only to trudging out her kids (actually her Meg-lite wardrobe probably gets more attention than the kids at this point). It’s what D-list celebrities used to do in US Weekly—wear something someone more famous wore and try to “win” the side-by-side comparison. You can only admire the audacity it takes for a “future queen” to pull this stunt with a SIL she despises.
A squaddies posted a picture of those shoes three days ago and like clockwork Kate is wearing them. So KP is out scrolling through Sussex squad media accounts (and here too)
It’s just sad. She does the single white female thing way too much for it to be a coincidence.
Also especially when outdoors you can see the wiglet at the back.
I agree with those who say that Kate’s dress is definitely a “Kate dress”, and not surprisingly I find the dress just kind of blah. But what’s funny is when I first saw the pics I though “Damn! I actually like Kate’s shoes! For once!” Only to find out that they’re Meghans trademark shoes. Shocker. 😱
yep, Meghan’s go-to Aquazurras. and the amount of Photoshop in these images is just astonishing. compare her the blurriness of her neck to her eyes.
I think its photoshop for sure and some botox touchup. Wonder if that’s why she looked so bad in wales last week, she was timing her botox for this weekend? But doesnt it take a few weeks to settle? I dunno lol.
But the comparison between last week and this week……either a lot of botox, a lot more makeup, or a lot of photoshop….or some combo of all three.
Yes she is. She simply has no shame. The thing is they looked flirty on Meghan. On Kate they look boring. It’s the dress. Too long and don’t suit the shoes. She makes most things on her look frumpy. Kate just couldn’t bear the competition and actively helped run Meghan out of town. Mean girl through and through.
I’m already thinking she’ll be wearing an outfit with a cape tomorrow.
I scrolled up looking at the pics, saw the shoes, blinked twice and GASPED ALOUD!!
What a witch!!
Hahhaha I thought, wow lovely shoes for a change. Now I know why.
And it’s a big wiglet and big veneers day. You go Kate, go big or go home.
Yup. The exact same ones. With a white dress as well. The fail has side by side photos of the copy keening.
Omg she is …. #singlewhitefemale
This woman has got a nerve.
Kate really thinks she the cat that got the cream.
She is in her element, she got exactly what she wanted.
It really has gone to her head.
I feel all the other royal women secretly loathe her.
I will be along the Mall tomorrow, visibly showing my support for HARRY and MEGHAN!!!!
The royal and aristo women do secretly and silently loathe Karen, which makes me wonder whether Rose Hanbury didn’t settle for an affair with England’s most repelling man, just to punish Kate.
I see no redeeming qualities in Ragingham that would make a married woman jump in his arms, other than convey how much one hates Catherine Middleton.
I think khate added the belt. Poser!
Kate looks good. I love her shoes.
She can thank Meghan for those, since they’re Meghan’s signature Aquazurras, and she knows we’ll notice. She looks basic.
OMGGGG THEY ARE THE SAME SHOES. I was not prepared. Out of all the shoe styles, it has to be Meghan’s shoe that she has in multiple colors.
Oh goodness. She’s certainly a piece of work.
No wonder l like the shoes, co-opted once again from the original.
Her dress is nice. I like the style. However, I wouldn’t say she looks good. Her hair (lol) is huge, as if she wears a crown beneath (perhaps she practices?) and just as in yesterday’s photos, the disproportion of her head compared to her rest of her body is alarming. Not to mention the amount of photoshopping.
I had the exact same thoughts. The dress is decent for her (no buttons!) but her hair is really out of control. She desperately needs a cut and some updating — ditch the wiglets! Her make-up is even ok but she needs a better lip color.
I has grown 6 inches overnight! LOL
Stalker alert. The shoes would be nice if Meghan didn’t wear them first and Catherine would be able to have true confidence in her own identity instead of trying to copy someone else. The rota hypes her up in articles but will never call her out for still copying other women at her age. Just like her wearing vega sneakers all of a sudden. She needs to be called out for being 41 and STILL having to copy women just to get her name in the same conversation as them. That’s also her version of Meghan dress in the seventh bday pics of Charles. Meghans black and white dress.
That shoe is very popular. I think Meghan was the first to wear it at an event, but I think I’ve seen a couple of other royal women wear it since. I think Zara is one of them. I guess everybody loved the shoes, and bought a pair for themselves! Meghan is the one who wore pumps that were not just basic, and had distinctive features. She’s just broadening the horizons of the rest of the women. Got to give her credit for being the trailblazer that she is! She not only sells out stuff, she smartens up the whole family’s sartorial outlook! Look at Harry- in Dior no less! I don’t think Diana’s sons inherited her fashion gene- Harry has Meghan now, but William doesn’t seem to have anyone to help him dress better.
Zara wore these exact shoes first at Catherine first Xmas show. Again like you stated AFTER the coverage Meg got for wearing them. Catherine wears Vega sneakers and her coats go to the floor when pre Meghan they stopped at her knees but not like she wears now.
Same with clutches are replaced with top handle purses. When was the last time have the rota mentioned Catherine wearing her signature bouncy curls?
Since when have you seen Catherine wearing camel outfits and turtle necks/dresses. Where’s her signature coat dresses?
At 41, to copy Diana down to how she wore her exact rugby outfit in the eighties. Her dresses, copying jecca on her only Vogue cover. To now copying Meghan.
She’s 41, three kids, future queen consort, has to copy a woman no longer living in Britain
Someone posted a screenshot of an article from the daily fail that says “Mirroring Meghan! Kate wears her sister-in-law’s signature Aquazzura heels with monochrome dress to Coronation reception.” So yeah… she actually is getting a softball call out on her cosplay crap
Kate’s photoshopped images look ok.
You can thank Meghan for the shoes since that’s who KKKate keeps copying.
Exactly, Haylie. Cast your mind back a couple of days ago to Kate in Wales, looking knackered and aged, and you realise just how much she is photoshopped. I’m always dumbfounded that people don’t realise how much editing goes into her images. She knows when p/shop is guaranteed from her photographer because it’s always at these big events; she’ll be comfortable knowing extra editing will be layered on by the same man t/w. You can also tell by what I call the Kate halo effect, which is she seems to be the only one in a pool of light on her face compared to the others around her in a group.
Chris Jackson was one of the photographers covering her yesterday in Soho which also explains a great deal of why she looked so much better yesterday than in Wales. I dont think he went to Wales with them.
Yes, she suits that style.
I agree. She looks better than she has in a long time. The dress and Meg shoes are flattering, as are the earrings. Her hair and makeup are pretty, even if a smidge heavy on the bronzer ( a bit like Meg’s coloring?).
she does not look gook shes looks too old for those classy shoes and that posture is apalling!!
Of course you do because it’s all Meghan. From style of dress and the exact same Aquazarra shoes Meghan is known to wear on numerous royal engagements. Meghan’s shoe game is unmatched.
K really did raid Meghan’s wardrobe at Frogmore. The aquazurras 👀
Her feet look too wide for them. Is it really that hard for her to find a signature shoe? She looks ridiculous blatantly jacking Meghan’s style.
And I bet this lunch was paid by tax payers money.
I’m starting to wonder if Kate wears her hair down so much still, after so many years, because her hairline is thinning and it’s too noticeable when she pulls it back. It does look better here than it has in a while, but that’s about the only nice thing I can say.
The backs of her shoes! The 80s called, and even they think those shoes are too much.
Those shoes are gorgeous.
yep they are but not on her period!! she looks washed out!!
Is she…..is she wearing M’s shoes? the exact ones Meghan wears all the time in different colors?
lordy.
Besides that – yes, I think this is a new dress, but she definitely has it in one or two other colors, or similar dresses (think of the pink dress she wore when she met Paddington Bear). Her hair does look very shiny and bouncy, did she get a new blowout and wiglet this morning? Definitely a cut, right? and like I said yesterday….the extensions and such are less obvious when she leans into the bouncy curls in the front, but the wiglet still seems super obvious to me.
A squaddie posted a photo of just those shoes three days ago with something along the lines of “when you know you know”. Lo and behold here we have Kate wearing those exact shoes today.
From the side profile you can see the wiglet bump and it is more obvious when they are outside because of the colour difference.
According to the Royal fashion bloggers, Kate’s wearing a new Jenny Packham dress. She has it black and navy blue. The shoes are Aquazzura. Meghan has the same pair. If there was any doubt that Kate has a Meghan lookbook, here’s the proof that she does.
Ah, is this what she wore for the walkabout at Windsor after the queen’s death, in black?
Yes.
So the dress then is the same as the walkabout but in a different color? Lol why I’m the world would she want to reference back to one of the hardest moments in her life, walking next to meghan??? And then wearing shoes that meghan is known for. Kate is something else. It’s embarrassing that she can’t let meghan go.
Oh I didn’t realize it was a version of the walkabout dress, with shoes tied to Meghan. Wow this woman really has no creative bone and the style stalking is weird.
Maybe instead of spending so much time preparing the Meghan look book she could attend patronages? Nah. She’ll never change.
I already said this in a different post, but if you Google Kate visiting the “America’s Cup Launch” in London in 2014, she’s wearing a dress identical to this one, the only difference is that the Jaeger one has short sleeves. But the shoes are 100% Meghan.
She looks okay, but I had one look and I’m over the pictures already. No glamour no charisma.
Kate’s dress reminds me very much of the dress Meghan wore for the family photo to celebrate Charles’ 70th birthday.
Yeah. I was pretty sure that Meghan had worn something similar but I couldn’t remember when.!
Yes, that’s where my mind immediately went too. This is actually a black and white version of the black dress she wore on the infamous walkabout with H&M, but the style of this one definitely calls back to Meghan’s white and navy dress. And the shoes, gee, hmm…where have I seen those before??
Well, Kate does have a white and navy dress similar to this one that I think she wore on tour a few years ago (pre Meghan). Short sleeves and slightly different silhouette, but definitely a very similar look. Overall this dress is a very “kate” dress, even without buttons.
it’s the shoes that are the cosplay giveaway.
I agree. It looks similar, except Meghan’s was sleeveless.
Kate is loving all the attention .
Looks the best she has looked for a long time .
She has no competition in the looks department so she is confident and happy..
Exactly. No Meghan to pull figurative and literal focus. Also, massive amounts of photoshop. She didn’t look this good a couple of days ago in Wales. She knows her photographer works hard on these big occasions. It means she can relax.
Until tomorrow until the rose bloom……..
I think she’s prettier than Rose so she will likely look good – too bad we all know how rotten she is on the inside. May it rain all day.
The dress looks so similar to the one Meghan wore in that family photograph when they first got married, although that was sleeveless.
Oooh yes it does @summerlover! The dress Meghan wore in the photo KC so graciously included in the program?
Exactly. The difference is that when Meghan wore that dress for the family photo, everyone wasn’t immediately like, “She’s copying Kate!!” because it was a one-off, an aberration that it happened to resemble a dress Kate wore in 2014 or whenever. But with Kate, the fact that she’s copying Meghan is so blatant and obvious and has become nearly CONSTANT.
Also, to the extent they are wearing similar types of clothes for things like family pictures, there is going to be SOME overlap, right?
the issue with Kate is that her style completely changed after Meghan came on the scene and she is wearing things now that are direct copies of what Meghan has worn AND that she never wore in the past.
Kate was the epitome of boring stiletto shoes before Meghan. it was either wedges, stilettos, or her supergas. Maybe trainers if it was a sport event. Fully stop. Nothing with a pattern (besides one pair of plaid low pumps) , nothing with embellishment besides two pairs of Jimmy Choos that we only saw for formal occasions. for her everyday events – all boring boring stilettos.
so these shoes stand out.
And prior to that it was nude LK Bennett pumps for almost every event.
She’s so glad Meghan isn’t there, fully raiding her fav pieces. What copy kkkate will we see tomorrow?
And I’m appalled at our PM fawning over her. 🤮
Catherine Middleton can copy at length Meghan’s sartorial signature, she cannot buy Meghan’s natural elegance and charisma.
No matter how meticulously vampiric that Kate impersonator has been, there’s something else she will never be able to emulate: having a husband who loves her dearly.
You are so right, Sugarhere. I’m beginning to fully believe that the only emotional glue that these two have (beyond kids) is their joint hatred of M&H. It’s what outlasts all the arguments and object throwing. Having seen Kate today, I suspect that she and her husband spent days working out what she was going to wear as an obvious message of one-up-man-ship for their sister in law. I wouldn’t want to be with a man who spent his time loving my hate of another woman, rather than loving me for me. Kate will never have that. I’d want the man who is flying back to me asap once this stupid farce of an event is done and dusted.
” I wouldn’t want to be with a man who spent his time loving my hate of another woman, rather than loving me for me “: @Sparrow, the truthfulness of your observation is bone-chilling. It boils down to saying:
– William and Catherine are in love with each other ❌
– William and Catherine are in love with each other’s obsessive murder wish of Meghan ✔️
Racist hatred and ascending the throne are the mainstay of their union. Sick.
Thinking she will copy Diana tomorrow as she’s now the princess of wales. Hopefully, it will be more of an homage than an anachronism but we shall see.
This is one of her better looks in a long time (thanks to Meghan) but the wiglets are on full display her – the look like they are about to take off.
She is def going to wear something tomorrow design to grab attention and something Meghanesque as Harry is going to be there. Am also betting she’s going to try and jump Harry for a photo op.
Good to know i am not the only one noticing the huge hair. My god😭. Why does it lift up like that?
It makes me think she is wearing a tiara tomorrow, so full blow out today, new wiglets so the hair can be piled up behind/under the tiara. I don’t think she’s wearing a hat with that huge wigletl ol.
Is there also an evening reception tonight or is this it before the coronation? For some reason, I was wondering if they would even just wear tiaras the night before.
The hair is SO big and she is tiny, she’s starting to look like a barbie doll. The proportions are weird, particularly in the side shot.
At this rate the hair will end up being a ‘working’ royal in its own right.
Ha ha ha! That is hilarious. Whoever is doing this, on her orders, is making her look even more frail; she is fading away and yet there is this huge hair, growing by the day. She looks ultra lollipop. People go on about her thick pre engagement hair, but it was never overly thick. Now it is massive. Why are people so fooled? It looks like deranged levels of fake healthy tresses. A low flying pigeon may well drop down and nest in it, like Franny b Kranny.
Those heels ole Waity is wearing look familiar…the Aquazzura heels that is a Duchess Meghan’s staple. That wiglet is obvious and ridiculous.
But the hair, the wig is so insanely noticeable. How is no one tapping her on the shoulder before she goes out?
Back Wiglet is a different colour entirely. No one telling her because she isn’t liked by anyone, least of all her husband.
One day it will fall off or get ripped out by accident. I would love to know two things: what she looks like without her fake hair, and the code to the vault of pre shopped images stashed away by her photographer. She must know her hair looks ridiculous but she’s too committed to dial it down. It’s one of the few things she’s known for. The other is her jealousy of Meghan. Hence the shoes.
The wiglet is so noticeable.
I think they try to keep gossip and boozehound Cowmilla away from world leaders. She told the world President Biden tooted and she’s been seen multiple times acting ugly in her official role. She’s a hateful horse faced woman from the inside out.
It’s bizarre to me that Camilla seems to be able to just…opt out of doing anything she doesn’t feel like doing? It’s extremely weird that she would miss this event, no? It’s HER HUSBAND’S big weekend, ffs.
But I guess she’s fully doing whateverTF she wants at all times now, and will continue to for the remainder of Charles’s life. Who’s going to stop her.
@michelle agree. Someone finally realized that Camilla is an instant “sorry i must decline”. I wonder did she bow out, forced out, or simply chose not to go.
Yeah, that really struck me, too. My goodness, she’s the very illustration of the lollipop woman.
You can see where de clip is on her hair extensions lol
Love de shoes.agreed with everyone here all very Megan inspired and copied but are we surprised , even though the pictures are airbrushed a lot here she has lost so much weight !
In which picture is the wig clip visible? I cannot see (find) it.
I think the pic after Charles guffawing & showing his gross, yellow crooked teeth.
I can’t see the clips, either? Please help! I can see her being the thinnest yet, and that says something. I am sure she is operating on a real high here. Something is keeping her going and it’s not food.
Green Eggs (jealous Will) and Ham (jazz hands Katie Keen) get phonier every day.
A poem:
I do not like green eggs and Ham
I do not like old Chuck and Cam
I do not like them on the tube
I do not like a useless boob.
I would like them in a box (like Lizzie)
I would give them better locks (not frizzy)
I do not green eggs and ham
They cannot do what Harry can
Megan should send Kate two gifts. First one a bouquet of flowers with a card saying “thanks for the imitation flattery. And the second, a diary showing all Megan’s dates and wardrobe for the last 12 months with the message, there you go dear, now you have your NEXT 12 months outfits, enjoy 😂
Yes, @mary pester! But really Kate should send Meghan flowers but she would never! Lol, pretty sure Kate already has that diary but she made it herself. I’m actually thinking it’s more like those big suspect boards that detectives look at in the movies. Photos and cutouts all over the wall with arrows pointing to key shoes and handbags. Carole and Kate’s day job as Meghan investigators.
Actual DF headline:
Mirroring Meghan! Kate wears her sister-in-law’s signature £490 Aquazzura heels with monochrome dress to Coronation reception
They actually have counted the number of times M wore these shoes from Aquazzura (9) and have pics of her over the times she wore them. Commenters are hilariously trying to say she isn’t Copy Kate. Lol
When even the DF can’t ignore the copying you know it’s bad.
This, this, this @Nic919.
Her copykeening makes me want to throw up.
Is this part of the invisible contract? Kate copies meghan, gets a headline with Meghan in it, and voila more clicks. But at what point, does Kate have a sense of shame? It’s mortifying to see her copy the woman she has been publicly rude to. It’s telegraphing that she wishes she was Meghan. As stylish and as beautiful as Meghan. But the pictures remind that she is not.
Kate is a weirdo who has no shame. She is still toying with Meghan, sending her hate mail via her copy keening. What sane, balanced woman would coordinate her clan to wear the same color to a church service as a visual refute to Meghan’s claim that she was told not to wear the same colors as senior royals? What sane woman would take Meghan’s signature shoe look and parade it this weekend when all the world’s eyes are on her? It’s just weirdness at this point.
Harper, you are so right. These shoes really have done it for me. She’s so publicly petty. There’s zero embarrassment in being obviously infatuated with another woman. It’s a major backfire, if only she had the maturity to see it. If this is how she clearly spends her days, plotting out her jealousy, there’s no hope she’ll ever grow up and get beyond teenager-ism.
Weirdo is one word for it alright. Unhinged. That old commercial coo coo for Cocoa Puffs literally echoes in my head.
LMAO, even the Fail is calling Kate out on the shoes? I hope she’s completely humiliated when she sees that story.
First comment in article: Kate Middleton appeared to make a subtle nod to her sister-in-law the Duchess of Sussex today as she stepped out in a pair of Meghan Markle’s favourite heels.
They call it a nod to Meghan.
It’s like you can’t escape. I wish someone would leak what is going through kates mind when she copies. Is it malice, love, or for attention.
Those shoes don’t even go with that dress. She wants the shoes to stand out. This is suppose to be kates day and she is relying on megan.
It’s malice and envy. She knows she can’t really compete with Meghan when Meghan is present, so Kate pulls malicious stunts like this.
Glad to see that The Duchess of Sussex’s fashion (clothing, handbags and shoes) has greatly influenced the Duchess of Cambridge as it has many of us around the world. As a result of her influence Aquazurra is a brand many of us, including Kate, are now familiar with and also wear. Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex is a global icon.
She looks pretty good, except for the coronation wiglet which looks pretty janky. I keep thinking there’s someone right behind her with similar but slightly lighter hair! I’m assuming this means she’ll be wearing a tiara or one of those Tudor hairbands for tomorrow.
The shoes! FFS. These are THE shoes Meghan has worn so many times. I’ve never been one for the Kate copying Meghan hate. But this is the most pathetic, belittling behaviour I’ve ever seen. Kate once again proving she is not queen material: from the pursed lips in the cathedral; the “what a cow” moment in the other church service; the Windsor flowers face. The late queen would never have shown such obvious lack of decorum. Talk about someone who thinks they’ve won because their sister in law hasn’t turned up. She is on a real high. Her photoshop is thru the roof and it’s guaranteed for t/w. Ugh. Wait till she plays peace maker and flirter with her brother in law. This woman operates on jealousy. I’m sure it’s because she has never been outside the Middleton bubble of competing with other women. If she’d have worked more and known more, she’d have been less of an obvious hater. Surely these shoes have been discontinued? What did she do, buy a pair and wait for her big moment?
Does anyone still think it was a coincidence that she posed with a high profile Meghan hater social media person at the pub walkabout yesterday? Because this insane copying shows a very conscious attempt to emulate Meghan and as others have said, try to erase her.
Considering the only really work KP does is create photo-op moments, it was not a coincidence.
Nope. Not a coincidence at all. She and her staff were probably so pleased that they pulled off that disgusting ploy.
Oh my god, at this point, KKKate is just a walking RepliMeghan fan account. Except repliMeghan stans actually their pay hard-earned cash for their clothes and they actually show respect for Meghan. KKKate is straight up appropriating Meghan withOUT giving any credit or respect to Meghan, and she’s also using taxpayer dollars to buy up a duplicate of Meghan’s wardrobe. Beyond embarrassing.
Interesting how the clips of Charles‘s walk about has sound, and those of Will and Kate do not. 🤔
Good spot, Coconut. She must be the dullest of dull people to bump into at a party. Can you imagine the boredom? She’s not done enough in her life to start a conversation and can barely talk in response to someone else.
The wiglet is escaping. All that money and her stylist can’t blend her hair to save her life. She looks nice in her Meghan cosplay.
I would entitle the hair ‘Wiglets gone Wild’ this whole look does nothing for me. I don’t know, I’m not saying she has to spend a ton of money, and I am not trying to beat a dead horse, but her fashion sense is just boring. You can look great and interesting and not have it cost a fortune. I get it, she wants to appear normal, ‘High Street’ and ‘Relatable’ but all those things can also be interesting and forward. She should immediately fire her stylist and her hairstylist and someone please give her a subscription to WWD or Vogue or at the very least Marie Claire.
Kate FINALLY got a wiglet that matches her hair.
Nope. Saw the Royal Wiglet looming on the back of her head on TV this morning. In the sunshine, it was a completely different color.
The Aquazurras look better on Meghan, far better. They don’t suit Kate at all.
I was just going to say this @Kelleybelle. Her proportions are way off for those delicate shoes.
You’re right. They look tacky on her not dainty, if you get what I mean. They draw too much focus from the whole ensemble because they are so glaring. Maybe she’s too tall for them? She is towering above people. I’m very tall and never wear a heel this high. You can’t interact with anyone properly.
Kate has larger hands and feet than Meghan and those shoes make that obvious because it’s a direct copy.
I think the issue is that Kate has quite muscular legs and Meghan has a more delicate bone structure.
The shoes are more flattering to Meghan’s legs.
Surely there’s a suggestion box outside of her hair/makeup room; surely SOMEONE at least once has asked her to ease up on the tragic streaks of blush that have become her signature!!!
This dress looks like the black dress she wore to the walkabout with Harry & Meghan when Queen Elizabeth died.
According to Google, Kate owns 6 pairs of Aquazurras (all worn post 2020) so definitely inspired by Meghan. I think, judging by this website, https://katemiddletonstyle.org/eden-project-g7/ she has exact same pair in nude, I don’t know why but her feet look swollen in these pics. Or her shoes are just too small. I legit thought top pic was her wax figurine at Madame Tussaud’s
It’s possible her feet are swollen from walking in stilettos yesterday.
I can see that, Nic919. You commented above that she has bigger feet than Meghan. Kate’s feet look particularly squashed today.
She’s creepy af, but I see it also as the supreme genuflection because she is admitting that Meghan chooses the best in EVERYTHING (husbands included, I think). She defers to Meghan’s taste and it’s just “right” if Meghan wears it. It’s like Meghan is her not so secret fashion icon and Kate is a simpering fan girl. If Kate had confidence in herself, she’d trust her own judgment. She does not and so . . . this. I’m not excluding all the other commentators’ points (erasing, stalking, trolling, etc.) but wanted to add this one. Remember, in copykeening, Kate is the copy and Meghan is the original. So who’s first and who’s second best?
I really don’t like this woman.
She behaves quite despicably and gets away with it. Every time.
I literally can’t look at her
99.9% of women shown those shoes as an option for today’s event would have said “no”, they are associated with my sister in law and what message would it send – pettiness, jealousy, grandstanding because she isn’t attending, trying to out do her (when I can’t). Most of us would have gone bare foot rather than try to compete with someone else so out of our league. But this woman went for it, probably suggested it herself, with no understanding of how pathetic it looks. That says completely all I need to know about her character and intellect. She has no dignity, no class. I think we’ve all reacted with shock because we understand what she’s trying to do and the message she’s trying to send, and it’s appallingly poor behaviour. And yet she looks as pleased as punch. Silly woman. She is deranged with jealousy.
We already knew she had no dignity by the way she demeaned herself to keep a hold on William.
Are those shoes really associated with Meghan? I know she likes to wear them, but is there a thing at the palace where certain women wear designers and the other ones can’t wear those designers?
Hi, Claire. They are very much associated with Meghan. There’s no policy of course; even if there were, it wouldn’t apply to Meghan, anyway. But such is the association, even the DM has called Kate out for it. It’s just a pair of shoes, but it’s so much more than that. I don’t go in for all the Kate copying Meghan stuff, but this time it’s obvious, motivated and barbed.
This along with the colour coordinating with other members of the family to exclude Meghan tell us who Kate really is.
A jealous, spineless, talentless, fool lacking in an charisma or purpose.
Flower. I agree so much. I think today has shocked me so much because it’s the kind of stunt someone would pull at school. It is that childish. Kate can’t use elegance, purpose, sophistication, character, most of all personal happiness, to level the playing ground, because she hasn’t got any of these things … she has shoes! What a total back fire. She might as well have waved a flag over her head, emblazoned with “ENVY”.
All you can do is laugh because this grown woman is beyond petty and spiteful and probably has never had an original idea in her life.
Can you imagine having access to all these resources and being so mean, shallow and pathetic?
Hannah, maybe Kate decided to wear not only the same shoes as Meghan, but the same shoes in Meghan’s size. That may be why her feet are swollen– Meghan’s feet are smaller? Truly insane, but look who we’re dealing with–would you put it past her?
Charles is so happy there is a crowd that seems genuine. No telling how scared he was in relation to the crowd. He is relieved.
I wonder does he care that those people would go to the opening of a paper bag. Well someone should have fun this weekend. Everyone else is living in the real world.
Charles goes in for mugging with goofy expression
I have an awful feeling that Kate is going to use every minute of this event to be seen publicly flirting with Harry and getting a reaction, a smile, etc, for the photographers. I’ve not seen such an egregious effort at trying to outdo another woman, and failing, since her white (sorry, cream) wedding outfit. I am shocked at how low she’ll go. What a weird woman. Forget peace making attempts, she’ll be full throttle flirting, trying to get as near her brother in law as possible. Ugh. I am staggered.
Harry is going to ice her out like at the funeral. She may try but he’s not playing that game.
I don’t see how she’ll get the opportunity if Harry is going to be in his seat, not part of the procession, and will book right out of there afterwards to hop on his plane. He’ll leave her eating dust, and that’s all she’ll get from him.
I’m glad Prince Harry has security to protect him. There’s a crazy female wearing a bad wiglet harassing & stalking he & his wife. 😜
All I can think of is horse face is at home looking for her tail because Kate has it attached to her head. Take a closer look at the second photo after Charles and see the horse tail hanging.
I’m never a fan of her wiglets because they are styled so big and poofy.
Looks like a fresh round of Botox. That forehead isn’t going anywhere.
Actually believe it or not her Botox is pretty worn off at least for her – she must have timed it to give her more facial expression for the coronation or something. Look up the videos of her greeting crowds outside the palace after the coronation lunch and she was making a lot of animated facial expressions creating a lot of lines on her forehead when she lifted her eyebrows. I was actually kind of surprised, I would have thought she would have gone the other direction with the Botox timing, but I think it does look better to have some movement in her forehead when she’s going to be photographed / videotaped a lot.
Wow. Single White Female-ing at least two of Meghan’s outfits. She will stop at nothing to appropriate Meghan’s style and pretend it’s her own organic choice for pictures and public viewing.
And how much hair is she wearing?! Her wiglet combed-area is so noticeable in the silhouette of her head (with only the front hairline looking un-wigletted). It’s like she’s determined to copy Meghan’s beautiful texture while compensating for William’s lack of any.
When Meghan wears it, it looks effortlessly chic, expensive, and natural for her.
When Keen wears it, she looks like a pathetic tightass.
It is amazing what having a personality can do for an outfit.
Also, if I **NEVER** see Charles’ tongue again, it will be too soon.
Well yeah he’s thrilled, he’s finally getting his big day to celebrate himself in front of his family and friends. For most people this is their wedding day but we know he wasn’t thrilled that day.
Do we actually know if Kate and William are at the reception going on tonight? It was weird that Camilla wasn’t at the earlier lunch, but I was thinking maybe if she’s going to be at the reception tonight she didn’t want Kate and William getting any attention and the compromise was to let them go to the lunch if they don’t go to the evening reception. I haven’t even seen any pics of Camilla at the reception tonight, I need to see the pics! Also as an aside, I am so over Jill Biden taking a granddaughter with her on all these state visits. I wish they could have just opened a lottery system for more members of the British public to be able to attend this coronation than extending plus one invites to people who are going to bring grandchildren, etc. And I like and voted for the Biden s, but sometimes I think they do think they’re American royalty or something (like all the Vogue photoshoots of Naomi’s Whitehouse wedding)
Claire, it seems that Kate is flying solo.!!! God that open mouth is back!, the look.Prince Frederick is giving her , priceless !!
Wow, Kate’s hair is trying so hard to Princess Mary’s and their dresses have similar sleeves
Peggy is there – seems every royal and their grandmother is there. Queen Lettie was fabulous as usual and I swear that she’s married to the ghost of Sean Connery – King Felipe seems to be morphing into him.
Jill is there is her grand daughter Finnegan.
Yeah Kate is there alright and she’s wearing a blue dress today (definitely flag cosplaying with her 3 recent outfits-I thought she would wear a blue one tomorrow but, alas, I was wrong ! ) Anyway, the cut of the dress reminds me the green one that Meghan wore during her speech engagement in Indianapolis..I mean, seriously?
Ok I see the pictures of Kate there now, although I still haven’t seen any of Camilla? This evenings dress on Kate is really bad and actually I usually like her style / don’t like being critical of women’s clothes or appearances in general. It is strange though, it’s almost as if she’s trying to dress down compared to the other guests for this occasion – like she usually dresses up more for everyday charity visits? And the Shirley temple curls are agregious. Everything this morning was way better, I thought this morning was one of her top looks lately and her hair looked really good!
I hate to give this woman and her obviously obsession with Meghan more oxygen than she deserves but this woman is not alright. Like this isn’t even a joke anymore. She needs help . Who does this ? Can’t she and the people around her see how deranged and desperate and demented this constant copying of Meghan makes her look?
Meghan has been wearing this style of shoe since she was an actress on suits and worn them as a royal in 2018 along with the queen and harry. When the daily fail made a big deal about Harry not holding Meghan hand cause the queen was there. Catherine wore them in 2021 After she left
for some reason this is at the end but is in response to TIFFANY post
Charles looks so disgusting when he laughs. That one pic up top gave me nausea……🤢
What’s sad is under any other circumstances, I don’t think Meghan would mind someone coopting her look. She seems like that warm and generous friend who, upon discovering something that she herself loves, buys the exact same for her best friend(s).
I think this is a dress silhouette that Kate wears quite a bit. It suits her well, I think. However, the dress does make one think of Meghan’s dress in the family portrait because both are white with black or navy trim. As others have pointed out, Meghan’s dress was sleeveless. Adding the long sleeves, and the gathering on the skirt makes Kate’s dress rather prim and formal, whereas Meghan’s dress, sleeveless with a pencil skirt, gives a more informal, effortless, and elegant impression.
Slightly off-topic, but has anyone seen a picture of Sophie’s dress at this event? She looks like an 80s secretary who somehow got involved in a crime scene investigation. Tragic!
I can’t find the pictures, Marley, but you made me laugh so much!
I saw it on What Kate Wore. It was the red cabbage roses, when viewed from afar, that suggested the dress could be used for DNA evidence!
What I will find fun is waiting to see what Meghan wears at the two awards ceremonies that she is attending later this month. Meghan will look like Meghan and blow everyone away. I wonder what Wails will do then?
Kate reminds me of the friend with no imagination who copies your clothes and home decor. So annoying.
Apropos of foreign dignitaries at BP, did everyone else see that New Yorker article about the Dubai Sheik who regularly visited QEII at BP, while also having his less obedient daughters imprisoned and tortured for trying to escape? His youngest wife had escaped all the way to Britain and was kidnapped there and returned to Dubai against her will.
None of that even sounds real, but the New Yorker ain’t exactly a tabloid. I’m giving the major side-eye to the RF’s foreign alliances.
Kates long shapeless body with her overdeveloped legs is looking very masculine. The fitting clothes she wears accentuate her male shape. Kate looks like a cross dresser who has not worked out how to dress to look good. She must choose the clothes herself, no stylist would dress a body like hers with the unflattering clothes she wears. Nothing stylish here, just more boring repetition. Meghan is always feminine no matter what she wears, and dresses to compliment her body type. It will be interesting to see what Kate does to make herself the centre of attention at the coronation.
Kate making conversation at the reception for foreign delegations: “Um… George really loves Governors General and governments?”
so fed up with the wailes
She needs to stay away from harry.
@Janebee exactly. Haha. I would expect a conversation like that from Kate . It was actually more interesting when Jill and her granddaughter Finnegan showed up. Esp photos of both of them having a conversation with Kate. It was that much of an interest that some of the British outlets had provided a bit of a biography on Finnegan. I then looked up how many grandchildren does Biden actually have :).
OMFG!!
Is Rose Hanbury really wearing the same exact shoes to the Coronation in her Aubrey Beardsley cosplay!!!???
