Here are some photos from “Royal Christmas” at Sandringham. King Charles and Queen Camilla hosted Christmas in Norfolk, and they did the big walk to church on Christmas morning, with the extended family. Prince William, the Princess of Wales and their three children were front and center, of course. Even in photos and moments where I think Charles and Camilla were trying to be front and center, Kate and her Christmas wig managed to preen their way into being centered. Going from memory, this is the first time Kate and Camilla have been at the same public event since Trooping the Colour in June. Before that, the last time they were at the same event was… last Christmas at Sandringham.
Oddly, Camilla and Kate both wore green. They were the only women in green as well. Given what we know about how petty royal women are about colors and who wears what, I definitely wonder if Kate knew Camilla would be wearing green and Kate decided to wear a similar shade anyway. Kate’s green coat is much prettier, honestly – it’s McQueen, a repeat. She paired it with a tartan scarf and a green hat. I think her earrings are new? I don’t remember seeing them before.
The kids looked fine. Tired, perhaps. Maybe they stayed up playing games on Christmas Eve. William and the kids were coordinated in shades of navy and black. Charles has been looking better in recent weeks, as I’ve said before. You can tell that he’s had a bad year, but honestly, he has the look of someone who has come out of the worst of it.

The dm had about 100 pictures of Kate and Kate stories. There were people on the sidelines swooning over keen and all excited that she talked to them. Where do they find these spectators.All the brave Kate spin. Kate had long blonde tinted piglet. Her hair needs to be trimmed. Louis did not look all that happy. Charlotte and George looked tired. Kate is back to making those faces. I wonder what c and c think of Kate making herself the star.
The people that turn up to these events are monarchists any way. Very easy to find kate fangirls amongst them.
or payed actors / going to be actors
They’re not paid actors, just royalists.
Edit W I g l e t
No ‘piglet’ is perfect for that look. Definitely evokes animal husbandry
The kids look miserable.
They do look miserable. This time they managed to catch a smile in a photograph or two but for the whole of this year they’ve just looked sad in all the videos/pics of them.
Every time we’ve seen the kids in public this year, (stuck as human shields/buffers between their warring parents), they’ve looked like they were in a hostage video. Louis particularly. I don’t think he enjoys being paraded out for public scrutiny.
Predicting he’s going to kick off in a spectacular way once he hits his teens.
It is strange to see her grinning and posturing and parading about and then see the kids looking a little sad and flat. It looks like she took a year off to relax even more than she usually does and brush out her wigs.
I’ve always thought Louis is the spare. He will be expected to walk the path of his uncle and stay put
She needs lessons in how to match her wiglet to her actual hair colour.
Has no one told Kate and Camilla that wearing a green hat is bad luck and symbolizes infidelity? They are literally telling the world they are being cheated on.
Twinned😁. Sure. I bet Cowmilla is still screaming.
For me the children don’t look ok. They mostly don’t smile. I haven’t seen all pictures, but did George talk with anyone?
I saw a video of this walk and what I noticed was how “detached” were the children from her…they were pretty close to their father who seemed rather protective of them…Kate was just trying to insert herself in different pictures and poses with them but they didn’t seem to be close to her.. I’d expect that they would be more attentive to her after her health issues of this year. Neither the children nor William gave her any attention, really.. those monarchy fans were more excited about meeting her than anybody else.
I think the fact that derangers are trying to pretend that William and the kids just standing there waiting for her to leave the crowd is a sign of her popularity and not how she isn’t connected with her own family is pretty telling.
I have never seen any photo or video showing Diana do that and she was massively popular. Charles at his most jealous might have come close but never were William and Harry just standing there waiting for Diana to get all the adulation.
Parental alienation attempts from Wooly Willy and the Windsors?
Or is it lingering trauma related to whatever really happened to Kate this past year, starting with the coma rumors…
I mean the drama all kicked off this time last year for Kate, at Sandringham. Revisiting the scene of that trauma can’t be a source of delight for those kids, and if they’re having to keep quiet about What Really Happened to boot… :cringe face:
The thing is I don’t remember William, Harry, Beatrice or Eugenie ever looking happy in that carefree way most kids would be. Maybe there were times but what is in my memory is a bunch of scared kids (or an annoyed William as he got older) putting on their best faces they could.
However the kids do seem to look to William more than they did Kate. And William was more aware of where his kids were at every moment whereas Kate was completely unbothered as to where they were. And I must say I am surprised by that. That is Kate’s one job to be a broodmare and I would think keeping favor of the future king would be to her advantage. Could be they limit her role, or her mental health, or both but having William look like the better parent is not at all what I would expect
The royal heirs have personal police protection. Why would Kate need to worry? Or William for that matter?
William and harry looked really happy when their mother took.them to amusement parks. They looked happy and relaxed
@Tessa – absolutely they looked so happy then and some other times. But when I think of the various “walks” or other times where the photographers were everywhere they were less carefree. I am trying to think when that ride ended and they had to get off and all the photographers were there, were they still so happy or did they sink back into their shells? I can’t remember.
The boys always looked happy with their mother and Harry in particular would always look to her. But I do remember William especially not liking the pap walks. The York sisters also always look happy with their parents but those walks just seemed to be traumatizing.
Although I will agree that that Harry, William, Bea & Eugenie all seemed happier than the current Wales even when stressed on these walks.
Maybe she couldn’t focus on the kids and Egg because of the meds she seems to be on when she is in public? She did some small talk with the plebs and perhaps she couldn’t divide her attention to watch the kids too, because she had to focus so hard appearing natural?? I’m just guessing really, I have no experience with meds other than painkillers and anti-allergy.
First off… thank heavens someone has bought Charlotte a new coat, that burgundy one was getting too small. And for Kate dressing in the same colour as Camilla! Interesting, she would not have dared do that to QE2! Methinks Kate is looking to be acting as she’s already Queen in 2025? And it has to be deliberate as both are wearing a beret style hat and carrying a tiny handbag.
Kate definitely has the ‘i WON’ face. How on earth can they keep up the pretence of her not working? She knows she’s holding the cards.
The length of that wig is ridiculous. I don’t know how much is her hair but she’s going all out on the long hair.
The overlong hair or wig is distracting. This is one of her joys preening and posing for cameras.
The hair colour wasn’t blended well either because the hair near her temple was very dark for a section and then suddenly it is the blondish wig slapped on top.
The hair does look very silly.
Is she holding all the cards? It wasn’t that long ago that she was benched from two tira events. I think there is definitely a power struggle going on behind the scenes though. What a way to live. I can’t think any of them are truly happy. Content people would not behave like this.
@julia, true, but that’s the look she’s conveying, she hasn’t looked this confident in ages. Though it could simply be the OTT praise she’s getting – for showing up. She’s just got an I won look. Agree there are major plays in the background. If only someone would report on it all!
Is William giving her a restricted allowance, or no allowance at all? She’s looked like she’s done her own hair and makeup at many events since last year. It was most noticeable the last half of last year. She did look good for Trooping and Remembrance, but that’s it. I wonder if he’ll leave her with a pittance if he divorces her.
I think this stage setting is part of the deal that was made. Twinning with Camilla, both Queen Consorts in a saturated, but not show-stealing side color, the king in an outstanding light, but not clownesque popping color, all heirs in navy (which was the key to their color coding to me), Kates popularity shower by the bystanders. Must have been a valuable thing they swept under the carpet.
I think Charlotte looks great, this is a pretty outfit that isn’t too twee and looks great.
And I hate to say it but I would wear everything except the wig and stupid hat that Kate has on, although I think that fit of coat might not be for me 😂. This is I think the second time I’ve said this ever, the other was the Bahamas blue gown she wore to the tiara event in the Bahamas.
Anyway, she looks happier and less medicated than usual. I’m betting we never hear about Early Years again, and don’t see her until Chelsea Flower Shoes.
She does look a bit better rested and like her face “settled” after fresh injectibles. Her face looks plumper than before. I’m not sure if she is less medicated or found meds that help her be a bit more alert and less zoned out with a silly smile.
Keen knows where the cameras are. Her look at me photos. William looks rough with that beard
There is a clip of William and all the kids way ahead of her beyond the crowd waiting for Kate because she is full on into the crowd adulation.
That all the kids are up ahead with him and not her isn’t really a great sign of family unity.
Apparently Kate was so ecstatic at all of the adoration thrown her way that when William and the kids were photographed being so far ahead of her, she was quoted by the press as saying “I’ve lost my family.” Indeed. What a telling quote!
Keen did not lose her family she prefers the look at me behavior.
This is all stupid. What did they think was going to happen after they banned her from the tiara events? My God, the way this family fights with each other is so idiotic.
Yep – she’s back.
Yeah the earrings are new and very expensive but you’re not going to hear that from the British press. Kate looks good in green.
Green with envy is definitely her colour.
Grinch Green the both of them.
They’re pretty earrings & go nicely with that bracelet, but neither piece goes with the rest of her outfit. And Kate’s the one that looks tired, in the unphotoshopped pix. As for Kate twinning with Camilla, yikes!
Meanwhile, on GMA this morning they mentioned the Christmas walk, and specifically mentioned King Charles and Princess Kate. That’s it. 🤭 Completely skipped mentioning the heir or the current queen consort. Ouch!
(That’s a lot of ‘mentions’ in one short paragraph; apologies.)
Absolutely loving that for Seabiscuit Sidepiece… *snerk*
I actually can’t with that phony smile of hers. It’s so obvious kate is doing it up for the camera’s.
Just like old Phil’s funeral where she was acting all solemn whilst looking for the camera’s
Did they hire that crowd. The people swooning over Kate and praising her to the skies was sickening. Dm made the walk all about keen.
I’m. Glad they did. That’ll p*ss the side piece right off!
Kate’s never had this much praise, she’s revelling in it.
Kate needs to be wary things can fall apart like William wanting out. The smugness of keen is appalling. And her upstaging c and c can have consequences.
Willy CAN but at this point, I don’t see it. I suspect that ship has sailed. A few years ago I wouldn’t have said that.
I hope side chick lets the hounds loose, it’s what Kate absolutely deserves.
The crowd isn’t that huge. They don’t show that it is maybe around a hundred people. So like MAGA there are always diehards. But some photos show the crowd isn’t as deep as they are trying to make it seem.
The British media are well-versed in making crowds of royalist bootlickers look bigger than they are. They were doing this as far back as the Queen Mother’s 100th birthday, using strategic angles to photograph the small crowd outside Buckingham Palace to make it look like thousands. They did the same with the sparse crowd watching QEII’s funeral on the big screen in Holyrood Park, shooting from up close to make the crowd look dense when I know for a fact it was very sparse because I saw it from the top of Arthur’s Seat- went out for a nice hike to avoid all the fawning BBC nonsense 😉
That “ adoring crowd”
What a way to spend Christmas, in the cold waiting for these over privileged people coming out of their yearly visit to church
They must be insane
The police talk to the crowds to get them excited … they probably asked them to give Kate a rousing reception, or egged them on. Yes, I know this for a fact.
In a video I saw her face mask dropped one or two times. She has difficulty to continue this charade when she’s with William. But she rejoices in people’s adoration.
A year ago she was dressed all in blue, which I did love, shortly around the time she was outed as the royal racist. Then afterwards shenanigans with the comms and franken photo and all the buzz about rose bushes and lawsuits etc. Then Kate came out saying she had cancer and they were all “ooooh don’t you feel bad for outing her as a racist and the rose affair and calling them out on franken photo and hiding?? She has cancer, but she’s fighting it better than you puny mortals!” Then that became the story and, here she is, a year later twinning with Cam Zam! I believe she had cancer at some point and don’t wish that on anyone. I also believe they exploited her cancer that she had at some point to take the attention away from the fact she was outed as the royal racist and the rose affair stuff. Two things can be true, don’t let them fool you. I wish everyone health and healing and part of healing is accountability for your wrongdoings…like being a racist!
I don’t love all the green but Kate looks pretty & very happy.
Something was up with Kate this year but I don’t think she had a cancer diagnosis like Charles or like the public had maybe assumed. Since the sky news report about pre cancerous cells, royalist press like the bbc & telegraph have been subtly distinguishing between Charles cancer diagnosis & Kate’s “illness”. The fail now usually adds that she’s been through preventative chemo. It’s like they are prepping for a revelation that what Kate went through wasn’t quite as grave as the public was led to believe. I think that’s why Charles Christmas speech thanking medical staff helping him was careful not to talk directly about them both being treated.
I agree the health issues have been used to whitewash the claims from Omid’s book about Kate & Charles being named as the royal racists. But not clear why they had to fake that Mother’s Day photo. All very strange & hope we find out one day!
I don’t think Kate and Camilla communicate in private at all, but I suspect they were both big mad about the matching colors. Kate’s hair is such a mess, if she’s going to insist on wearing it down to her butt she needs to brush it and condition it more frequently.
They may not communicate but their stuff do and I’m pretty sure that this coordination was their idea to saw how united they are..
We’ll see. I don’t see a reason to show a united front (nothing in the press), and Camilla is cold blooded and doses not show “united” without a reason. If Kate gets tossed under the bus soon by a Camilla-aligned rota rat, it’s a sign that this was just Kate being Kate.
Maybe, but it is ridiculous and childish.
WanK still can’t replicate even a scintilla of their lovey dovey (cringing just writing those words) shampoo commercial antics IRL. They really know how to undermine their own PR.
I do not like William but he does appear to be an affectionate and tactile father. His interactions with his children seem very relaxed and natural.
I’m glad to see that he seems to have a loving relationship with them and that they seem to be very comfortable with him.
There are many things that can be criticized about William but I do have to give him credit for how he treats his children.
Yes, I agree. Makes one wonder if he has custody most of the time, while KM lives at her parents.
If Woolly Willy had custody most of the time, Charlotte would not have burst into tears at the sight of him in his new beard. IMHO he was away from the kids when he started growing that, didn’t prepare them for the change, and just showed up looking like a bedraggled circus clown. Small wonder Charlotte cried tbh.
I wonder how much time they’ve been spending with the Middletons, and how that has impacted Ma & Pa Kettle’s rehabilitation in the press.
It’s probable that it’s shared custody, W and Carol, so the children get to see /stay with KM at her parents. Perhaps they’d had a holiday with their mother and grandmother and first saw W’s beard when they returned.
Goodness only knows.
All I see is they do seem to gravitate towards their father.
@Where’s- I hadn’t heard that story and find it a rather interesting reaction for Charlotte to have had, at her age. This can’t have been the first time she saw a beard in her entire life. And why feel so strongly about it? I get not liking how it looked. But that speaks to an interesting level of emotional attachment. Guess we’ll never know.
FFS, you see him a few times a year with his kids and you’re ready to declare him as father of the year? 🥴 He uses his kids for PR and it’s obviously working.
Agreed.
The kids are old enough to decide and Harry and William at that age would not have left Diana on her own like that. PR cover or not, the kids are choosing to be with William in this scenario.
Hilariously, the DM had an article (one of many) about William and the kids waiting for Kate at the end of the walk while she worked the crowd. Many pictures. Nobody looked happy.
Edit—oops I see I’m not the only one to point this out
If the children has not been there William would have waited for her.
William would not have waited for her. Meant to say
The video on YouTube showing W & the children waiting 200 metres away also shows W on the phone….. then the next shot shows one of the plain-clothes police on his phone. W clearly telling the police to make her move along. We need a lip reader
Excellent catch. Usually he pushes or steers her, excuse me, he puts a loving hand on her waist, to move her along but this time he’s too far away.
Family looking a bit depleted without Harry and Meghan, but maybe in the future they can heal their rifts and bring all the children to church. Would be so lovely to see all the kids playing together,
I doubt harry and Meghan and the children will go back there.who knows what the Wales children overhear their parents saying about their Sussex relatives. William professed dislike of harry and Kate lunged at Meghan. Granddad Charles took away their residence.in the UK.
If two people in that family had cancer , which is a life changing and eye opening experience, and are all still petty and bitter and continue to refuse to speak to HM I doubt it will ever happen.
I doubt two people in that family had cancer.
There isn’t a rift. There is a years long targeted lies and smear campaign, to the point of driving Meghan to suicidal thoughts, for absolutely no reason except members of the Rf own glorification and benefit namely W, K,. That’s not a rift. Why would H and M want their precious babies near that vile family. Dream on.
No, it really wouldn’t.
It is not Meghan and Harry’s job to make the royal family look less depleted (or more glamorous). If something is lacking, let the current lineup of working royals step up to the plate and do better.
The Sussex children should never be made to participate in this. In fact, the church walks will probably cease after Chuckles dies.
I don’t think Harry is any more religious than William, it’s all for show.
Catherine’s hair looks lovely as does all the ladies. I especially love Beatrice and her family.
KM’s hair is extensions.
You must mean her wig dear.
“You must mean her wig dear“
😂😂😂
Beatrice has beautiful hair.
It’s all such a farce; playing happy families for the plebs on the PR walk but footage of Kate and William exiting the church shows him completely ignoring her and Kate’s face is like thunder.
Also, in some pictures that focus on the left side of Kate’s face you can easily see she has a scar running down from her forehead, through her eyebrow and down to just above the lower eye socket. It’s faint but definitely there
The children don’t look happy.
Thank you! They look miserable and it’s not the cameras! I don’t see any other child royals looking like this. King Felipe’s daughters always look happy and normal and appropriate; even as little kids. Princess Estelle looks like the sweetest happiest kid. The Wales children look like they are carrying some heavy burden.
And why is Kate always grinning like an idiot. It’s so over the top. Meghan and Diana are naturals; Kate is clearly not. And she refuses to even try and do better.
The few times we have seen the children this year they have all looked miserable. Oh they were excited with Taylor Swift, that’s all. Even Louis is always looking stressed, tired, not his usual self.
That’s William’s fault. The children have been over-protected and unprepared for their roles. Yes, it’s akin to CA, but that’s what the royals want – for the show to go on.
The church exit video really shows the act kate puts on because you causally see Charles, Beatrice etc and while not all are smiling, they don’t have the face of thunder that Kate has on as she’s looking in William’s direction.
I do wonder what William had been saying to her just prior to that look. She has no poker face when he’s being verbally abusive. Well documented in carriage rides and car rides over dozen + years. I recall going back to her first time wearing the Cambridge tiara in public – eyes swimming w/ tears in car, William looking like a ball of angry energy next to her. He did it to her again at a state dinner w/ China and she was wearing the Lotus tiara then.
And it happened again recently as well. Qatar visit, carriage photo?
The video footage of them leaving the church is the real dynamic that’s unfolding. Once they step out to the crowds, it’s showtime. These people are certified actors, especially when they interact with the plebs. Kitty is only giving “I won” vibes because she is in her element, basking in faux adoration. We saw it at Wimbledon and we are seeing it now. Remove the crowds and you see the real Kitty, face like thunder hating every moment spent in her husband’s vicinity. She’s been sidelined and she knows it.
Kate is preening to the cameras and the BM has its fluff pieces. This can’t be going over well with Charles and Camilla. Old habits die hard. The kids look miserable but this is what they are destined for, especially George. It’s obvious William and Kate never prepped the kids for royal life otherwise they would be more at ease with crowds.
I find it very telling that the kids followed William, including Louis, walking away from the crowd after having spent some time with them, while Kate was preening away by herself in the royalist crowd. Kate has been doing this for years and should know better.
We all know if Meghan had been doing this she could have been accused of being a narcissist.
This is typical Kate. She pays no attention to what is going on around her and talks while everyone else is ready to move on. It amazes me that she hasn’t picked up that she only needs a quick “hello, thank you for coming” and then move on to the next person? No consideration that these people would have been waiting for a couple of hours by that stage and I’ve been told it’s very cold there by the church at this time of year. She’s not taking into consideration the police who would be standing in the cold either? I’m surprised that William waited as she does this all the time. Think of the wedding guest line in Jordan where Kate was talking and William signalled to her to wind it up? She does it at engagements too, that’s why William often has a “loving hand” on her back… he’s propelling her on so the event isn’t held up by her chatter. Plus that loving hand also gets her into the right position. I’ve watched him over the years get more and more annoyed at the way she’s just not getting how to keep moving.
Those people choose to stand there to watch the parade. They could leave any time.
After all this time, Kate still doesn’t know how to work a crowd. Smile, exchange pleasantries, move on. William can do this, Kate cannot. And clearly never learned.
👌👍🫠Just said the same above. Those children will be lazy like their parents and taught to snub the people who keep them in luxury for life.
A bunch of do nothing’s on welfare. Horrible people all around.
I’m just astonished these people can walk into a church without turning into ash…
Kathy’s behaviour in church is always disgusting
I don’t know how she has the nerve
I always remember the look she gave Meghan in Westminster Abbey
It was sheer murder
Something nice: the Wales’s family wardrobe is well coordinated.
Great job pointing out that the last time K and Camz appeared in public together was in June. In fact, WanK and the monsters, CRex&Camzilla, eemed to have major issues with each other, so much so, that K was too busy planning an Xmas show to attend a tiara event.
So now they’re both wearing dark green? ITA that K’s is a better color, both on her and it probably would look better on Camz as well. So, was this on purpose? Or did one of them decide on green (Christmas-y!) and the other decide to join in? The Waileses look better coordinated than C&C, so it would be really funny if QCC decided to go green rather than K trying to steal focus. Given what was said above, I’m sure everyone loved K being the center of attention and the main focus of all the articles!
Maybe they were both, possibly for different reasons, fed up of the DIM articles about how Kate’s burgundy carols outfit was “the color of the moment,” “so stylish: and “here’s how you can copy the look” and wanted a change.
She should enjoy her victory lap while she can because there are only so many times she can make a triumphant return. At some point, people will be asking again why she isn’t working more. As for her green coat, it’s fine and trademark typical, but I think the proportions would look better if it was 4 inches shorter.
Either she has new botox around her eyes and forehead or she’s been heavily airbrushed. I can’t tell.
And I don’t think that sickly shade of green does a thing for her OR Camilla.
The first thing I thought when I saw Camzilla’s outfit was baby caca green. Yuck.
Heavy, heavy airbrushing.
Yeah she looks lovely in these pics and I don’t want to be an asshole but I’d guess there’s some retouching. Listen I’m 44 and I’d love for all my pics to be in perfect lighting and retouched so I get it. Unfortunately being in the public eye means that there are some real contrasting photos out there. I don’t think she looks bad in unretouched photos but she does look different than the perfect perfect ones splashed across the Christmas covers.
This victory lap was Kate’s Superbowl so why didn’t the fawning tabs make that claim? Is it because “Superbowl”moments only Blood Royals by right? I suspect there will be trouble ahead if Kate keeps grabbing the glory for having more come backs than Frank Sinatra!
wait a minute: Louis is only 6 and is wearing full length trousers instead of short pants. Don’t they know it’s déclassé (‘suburban”) for boys to wear long pants before they’re 8 years old?!
When W&K do it, it’s “modernizing the monarchy”.
Yep – it’s the Middleclass family values shining through.
Kate should be careful because at the end of the day only William and George will be protected . Also how long she will using cancer as excuses ?? The entire family should be careful because if anything powerful learned from healthcare ceo murderer is that public are in the mood of eat the rich mentality. This is why celebs lately getting lot of flake.
With so much wealth inequality revolution is upon us whether they like it or not.
That shade of green is a lovely color on Kate. I also like how her coat and tartan scarf coordinate with Charlotte’s in a really nice way—it’s a “mommy and me” look without being overly matchy-matchy or age inappropriate. Now, the hat she has on is dreadful. At certain angles it looks like a Disney mouse ears hat, even when it’s not at that bad angle the bow is way too juvenile for a woman in her mid 40s IMO. Hate the cheap looking too long extensions. Charlotte is really looking so much more like Diana each year.
William and the boys are all wearing the exact same black coat, lil bit creepy like a team of undertakers.
IMO Charlotte is a ringer for Sarah Chatto, with some QEII thrown in … can’t see a thing of Diana.
I never saw a resemblance. Sarah looks more like an Armstrong Jones than a Windsor. And I see no resemblance to the queen. Charlotte looks like a middleton with some Spencer features. Imo
I don’t agree … Spencer in Charlotte? Don’t see any of the Midds either – lucky girl … she’ll change as age grows.
There was a photo of chat to and Charlotte when they were the same age. They had the same hair do. Otherwise no resemblance. Armstrong Jones genes are strong Sarah looks a lot like her half sisters who were fathered by Armstrong Jones. Charlotte is not related to Armstrong Jones. I always saw a lot of pipp a resemblance to Charlotte. George and Charlotte and Louis have decided middleton. Resemblance.
That’s just your opinion – which I don’t share … Louis and George are changing to no longer favour the Middletons. George looks more like William and Louis looks a lot like Andrew at that age. IMO. It’s subjective.
Mouse ears! Love it! Yes! 🐭
Kate’s extensions look like they’re attached to that hat rather than her head. To me anyway. I’m typically terrible at noticing the wiglets and extensions, but her hair looks blatantly fake here, and I don’t get it.
Yup, it definitely looks like she fully stapled a blonde wig to the inside of her hat! Then she tucked the several-shades-darker hair underneath behind her ears and thought “This will do. This looks great!”
this is the first time i ever liked her hair, maybe because of the hat. and i liked those curtain bangs she had last year sometimes too but other than that…
Kate’s hair looked bad to me. She looked best back in 2018 when she had that shorter style
oh yeah i agree that shorter hair in general would suit her way better but i doubt she goes back to that. even the curtain bangs seemed to experimental for her and she ditched them fast.
Probably planned by KP/Clarence House. I doubt Kate has any say in what she wears. She also doesn’t have the brains to scheme- that’s what Carole is for 😉
I like that color green with the tartan. The kids look cute. That’s all I got. As usual, the whole walk and monarchy thing is a strange show and I feel bad for the kids. I get that they need to get used to being in public but it’s still kind of effed up. I’m still on a Beyoncé-high so this royalty thing just dims in comparison.
Didn’t that scarf used to be called Black Watch plaid? Out of fashion many moons ago. Her coat is a rewear as well so agree that it was pre planned by someone else in tandem with Camilla and company. Unity etc etc.
It’s a tartan plaid so never out of style really.
Black watch tartan, I had a pair of trousers in it in the 1960s but then Kate dresses like my mum did when I was a child, apart from the trousers, which my mum would have thought most unladylike.
I wonder about the kids. Random strangers sit or stand to watch them walk to/from church, which is weird enough, but then those random strangers also give them gifts? And ask for selfies? And what happens to the gifts? Do they keep them? Donate them to charity? I mean, if there are any children in the world who don’t need additional stuff it’s these three. And what about the other Windsor children walking out of church past these random strangers? Any gifts for them? How does it make them feel? Or is it part of that early conditioning, the first-born male (and his heirs) are the all-important ones and that’s that?
Posing for cameras, talking to strangers, pretending to care, and preferential treatment according to the line of succession keeps the Windsors in obscene luxury. It doesn’t happen often. They have plenty of privacy. But if they don’t like it … the gifts are donated or thrown out.
That shade of green is a really good colour on her. I like the coat, think the hat would look better with a feather rather than another childish bow but I like the shape. And the tartan scarf is a nice touch. I don’t like the too-dainty little black bag but overall she looks good!
DM body language expert explains how Will continues to cherish and protect his wife on this walk by exchanging igniting smiles! Well that sounds a lot warmer than a festive glance!
The dm is so desperate trying to depict them as a loving couple.
What’s an “igniting smile”? LOL They’re really reaching, aren’t they?
Still wracking my brain over “festive glance,” lol.
Okay I’m laughing at the tabloids holiday phrasing fr. Igniting smiles and festive glances oh my!
I guess they forgot about the photos of them in the early days where they actually held hands during the Christmas walk. Latest one was in 2014 so it is probably hard to pretend the dirty looks she gives him are loving. Or how he walked off with the kids then had to wait for her.
🤭
Oh my. Another awesome phrase for the lexicon. I wonder if those igniting smiles mean that a baby whales is on the way in 9 months! 😹 (in the royalists’ wet dreams)
I noticed the children straight away. They all have dark circles under their eyes. A sign of chronic dis-ease. Most Americans write off their appearance as tired, or a cold/flu. But I’ll keep my eye on the media pics (not the photoshopped palace images) the next couple months.
Which house have they been staying at in recent weeks? And recent months? It could be mold. Could be candida gut, intestinal parasites, or an insect-borne infection that went unnoticed. It’s quite uncommon, but not recognized among Western doctors, that illness is generational. It looks like blocked lymphatic or liver pathway to me.
If Kate’s cells already had mitochondrial damage, she had any environmental toxicities, and/or any of these issues before and during each pregnancy, she could have passed it to her children. And anything they came in contact with since then, even the Epstein Barr virus, could have made things worse.
Sorry but, maybe they’re just sleeping poorly, being kept awake by tense and arguing parents? Usually, the simplest answer is the more likely, non?
Good lord, they’re royal, they get the best medical care available! What ARE you going on about? They don’t have parasites or candida or blocked lymphatic anything, they’re just bored and dealing with parents who clearly detest each other. Like @Chrissy says, it’s an Occam’s Razor thing — the simplest answer is usually the right one.
They could have simple allergies. 🤧 Kate has dark circles which were worse when she was young, so it’s not far-fetched that they have inherited some chronic condition. I doubt it’s serious 🧐
Kate has dark circles and has since she was a child, we just don’t see it under all the makeup. That’s hereditary which is why some of the kids have it. These kids get the best British health care that most taxpayers don’t even get. They are physically fine. If they have parents who are fighting all the time and preserve that toxic environment for show, then sure that will affect them mentally and emotionally.
Kate inherited her dark circles from her father. He’s always had them.
I agree. Also the cold blue northern light at this time of the year in the UK does no one any favours! Also family features such as deep eye sockets can make eyes look tired.
Wow! That’s some diagnosis, or set of diagnoses, and all from a series of photos!
this is what we call a deranger yes?
Kathy’s behaviour in church is always disgusting
I don’t know how she has the nerve
I always remember the look she gave Meghan in Westminster Abbey
It was sheer murder
I have to say first everyone is dressed nicely! I really like the style and fit.
Even Camilla with her “feather in my cap” outfit. I have to say there is no way she called up Kate to discuss what they would be wearing. And I don’t think Kate has the drive or resources to find that out for herself, so my money says this was a mortifying accident.
Yes it would be a show of unity, but who wants to dress in the same outfit as the taller, younger, prettier popular girl, knowing she will get at least 90% of the positive attention?
Well maybe a scheming Cruella, but I can’t plumb the depths that sort of evil.
Nobody is remarking on how William has forgone the Cambridge Matchy-Matchy Theme Dressing this year. It seems he is determined to wear his blue suit and tie to any and all occasions, when Kate opted for green, judging by her wrapped-gift bonnet. She compromised with plaid accents for herself and the children, but Willy wouldn’t meet her halfway.
I am not sure what is up with the current Prince in Wales dressing in all blue regardless of the occasion (Remembrance Day, Diana’s funeral, etc…) Is this a Windsor thing?
I think with Camilla it doesn’t really matter to her what others do – she snagged Charles and they didn’t.
In the battle of the greens , much as I don’t like Camilla , she comes across as more normal. She wears something and that’s it , good , bad or ugly . Not like Kate who tries too much ..in which planet is she prettier . Younger yes, that’s just because she was born later , but she looks cheap whatever she does , complete with all the blonde extensions and green bunny ears and thin lipped grin . And all the fuss about new topaz ear rings . Even if Meghan rewears an old piece that she paid for herself or was given,all hell breaks loose . Kate can hang baubles all over like a Christmas tree and it becomes a “sweet nod” to something or somebody . Sickening.
I think somebody at some point told him that blue brings out the blue in his eyes and that was that. He’s worn blue ever since.
Did anyone notice that on a sunny day in Sandringham both Charles and Camilla are using umbrellas as walking stick. There was no reason for the umbrellas, they were both using them as support.
Also, William and Kate never looked at each other. Each managed to turn their head when the other look his or her way.
I noticed! (Likely because I’ve been using a cane these last couple of years.) It clicked with me immediately–they’ll use an umbrella as walking support but not a cane. Oh, no, can’t be seen to be frail! 🙄 What is it with this family and their denials of human frailty? It’s ok–actually preferable–to using assistive devices. You don’t have to pretend by carrying an umbrella. Canes are lighter weight & therefore easier to use.
Oh, and random question to my sister/fellow celebitches: if this is the Sandringham parish church, does that mean other people get to go to services on Sunday? Or is it exclusive to the royals? Or is there a separate service for the plebs? I’ve always wondered.
Imagine choosing to stand outside in the cold on Christmas Day, having spent your hard-earned money on flowers for a rich royal or on toys for wildly overpriviledged children. I just can’t comprehend the mindset.
Kate looks fine, but I also can’t imagine ignoring my children’s obvious misery.
Brain washing from birth.
Kate is a liar and a fraud. I feel nothing for her.
William is coordinated because the kids spent Christmas Eve with him and most likely were going to have Christmas Day with their mom like most separated families. These kids always look like they’re seeing a parent for the first time at these events.
I saw the video of these people coming out of the church. My impression was that they immediately dispersed. Camilla very quickly to the right, everyone else in other directions. The camera had to do big pans
to catch the people again. There was no unity, no consideration for each other, no adjustment of speed. I’ve never seen so much unrest. As if everyone was running away from each other. The unity in the photos looks like a second-long illusion that doesn’t correspond to reality.
