Here are more photos of the Princess of Wales out in London on Tuesday, where she made a business speech at her business taskforce for keen early years and business. While I thought Kate looked thin, tired and drawn in photos, I have to admit that I was surprised by her “enthusiasm” when I watched the video of her speech. Obviously, she didn’t write any of this, but she did read it beforehand and she tried to perform it with a little pizzazz.
This reminds me of the not-so-quiet debate about Kate’s Mother Nature videos and whether she or the palace employs AI for the voiceovers. I was ambivalent about the AI conspiracy (specifically with regards to the Mother Nature videos) but I think her speech here proves that she’s actually doing the voiceovers. I mean it. As for this speech… I said what I wanted to say about the text and message of it yesterday, which is that Kate is acting like a 40-something big-girl making a big-girl book report in front of big business leaders. She has no employment background or connection to business or the professional world. And you can tell. But hey, her speech was much better than her old speeches, which were full of mumbles, hair-tosses and hastily slurred words.
Meanwhile, making her big-girl speech was only one of TWO work things for Kate yesterday. Maternal Mental Health Alliance also published a letter “from Kate” in which she “highlighted the importance of the charity’s new exhibition exploring the topic of mental health in motherhood.” Far be from me to second-guess Kate’s busy schedule of school-runs and wig maintenance, but if she really wanted to highlight the work of MMHA, why wouldn’t she… organize an event with the charity and make a public appearance?

Her hair is ridiculous. That’s all I’ve got.
Came here to say the same.
She had freaking cancer so she is wearing wigs and extensions. I am not 100% pro Kate, but the pettiness about her hair is not a good look.
@Ionio I don’t care. I’m a middle class Black woman. I can buy a better looking wig for $50 than what she’s wearing. It’s not related to cancer, and her bad hair pieces date back to her wedding.
🙄🙄 she can wear wigs all she wants (although she told us she did not lose her hair). Shes worn wigs and extensions for years, well before she had cancer.
But you can wear a wig and look a lot better than this.
@IONIO Kate herself said she didn’t lose her hair. She was wearing bad wigs, wiglets and extensions way before the cancer tale. She has enough money and access to get GOOD ones but doesnt.
Ionio: She did NOT have cancer. There were pre-cancerous cells present during her mystery surgery. That was “freaking” it.
@kellybelle I agree. My SIL was diagnose with precancerous cells in one breast. She chose to have a double mastectomy. She didn’t require chemo. Whatever Kate had, she should be honest and open about it. Her inability to speak openly about it is a disservice, especially for a family that sees themselves as being the only ones capable of true service. Kate couldve redeemed herself in extraordinary ways, put the lazy kate days behind her and prove her importance. Her hair is just another admittance that some members of the royal family get the kid glove service and others are happily beaten to near suicide just because, because, because.
Agree! Her hair is wearing her! It’s like she’s hiding behind it. Who takes her seriously at this point? She possesses not one ounce of gravitas. SMH
Every time I see Buttons, I turn into my mother, bc I just want to yell “Get your hair out of your face!” at her lol
That and she looks like a walking cadaver. She’s too thin. Now would be a good time for her mother to interfere.
I’ve noticed a pattern with royal women that they keep the same hairstyle from their 20’s. QE2 kept that same hairstyle all her life from when she was in her 20’s and the same with Anne and Camilla and now Kate. It’s very odd. I wonder if it’s because they keep the same hair stylist? The older they get the more outdated the hairstyle looks. Will Kate have that same hairstyle in her 50’s and 60’s?
I agree with all the posters on the other thread that Kate looks absolutely awful – I’ve never seen her look so thin. This isn’t “concern trolling,” this is straight-up concern and I’m sure I’m not the only one. Why won’t someone get her real help?
@ Lady Esther Kate has her mother who should be insisting on her daughter getting medical help. I have two sons and there is no way that I would not be encouraging and or insisting on either getting treatment if they looked this thin.
It’s very possible her disappearance last year was because of months of ED treatment. Which they couldn’t say, so the story was “precancerous cells.” And why Pippa said it wasn’t a “traditional sickness.”
Her hair and wigs are too distracting. And she is no expert on the subject and was just waiting for scoots to propose
Are you telling me that she can’t welcome and thank people for attending without reading it from the notes provided?
That’s ridiculous! 😂😂
That’s speech 101. Greet the crowd with hello’s and thank you’s and the go into the meat of the speech.
She’s been in her role as Princess for over a decade and she doesn’t even do the bare minimum and clearly isn’t smart enough to fake it.
Yeah I noticed that. It could be she can’t speak off the cuff but that’s ridiculous because she’s accustomed to making small talk at her engagements.
I think her whole adult life has been spent catering to William and William’s needs and never wanting to do anything upset him. If you watch how she reacts when he is close by you will see why she is so timid and has such a difficulty speaking. She does not have a supportive husband. She has a nitpicking husband who chips away at her self-worth. She was better yesterday. Incrementally. But better.
Kate can’t speak off the cuff because of her fake posh accent. She can respond quickly if she uses her real one. (Which is not a bad accent. ). It was briefly caught on video when she visited a classroom a few years ago and some kids asked something relating to Meghan and she swiftly said something in a less posh way.
She did not have 1 part where she was not reading not Even opening remarks. I did not love public speaking but I practiced my speeches and did not read.
@Nic, wasn’t it, “WHAT ELSE” that she got caught saying when asked about the Sussexes? 😂 And she turned her head away from the small child who’d asked, I think.
Someone write the MMHA letter for her, but maybe she read it before approving it to send out, so OK I guess.
I saw that letter floating around last week so yesterday’s business speech was really her only engagement. I can imagine if Kate did an actual engagement with MMHA that would stir up some issues that KP wouldn’t want to grapple with. I would respect Kate more if she had spent those 10 years waiting for William to propose to her actually working and perhaps getting her masters degree. I agree with Kaiser that it’s ridiculous to have Kate who has never had a job to be talking about to business leaders have fostering a good work life balance for their employees.
@Amy Bee and MMHA actually does some really important things. But if KP are going to keep hiding behind the excuse of “can’t grapple too much with Politics?” then really all they are doing is waiting these charities and centres and experts’ time
She has Real Housewives hair.
From the Erika Jayne collection.
Why is she looking at her cue cards to say, “Good morning, everybody, and thank you very much for being here today…”? Learn your speech. Practise it when you’re sitting on the g-damn toilet.
Incomprehensible accent.
Mumbling.
Slurring.
Hair.
Infuriating!
That’s pizzazz, Joey.
This! She looked at her notes like 12 times to welcome people.
Remember when she christened the ship? She needed a note to read for 2 sentences, And the media called it a “speech”! 2 ferking sentences. How the media celebrates the bare minimum is infuriating. This woman had 20 years of “royal training” and needs cue cards to say “good morning”.
Remember a few years ago when she needed to review an index card to sign her name and the date on a whiteboard somewhere? For some reason, I think maybe they were in a train station?
Anyway, I feel like it happened when W&K were on one of their “mini tours,” but I can’t remember details. But I do remember that Kate literally needed an index card with her name and the date clutched in her left hand as she wrote with her right. (Maybe there were a couple of other words like “Best Wishes,” but it was nothing that should have required notes for a grown-ass adult.)
Hopefully someone will remember what I’m talking about because it was hysterical.
@Lorelei yes I think that was on their Covid choo choo tour, the one that ended in QEII completely blanking Kate at Windsor Castle lol.
How nice the standard of competence for this Middleton woman (who is an able person) is set to lower then basic level. Let clap for her! /S
She should stop talking about women’s mental heath until she publicly apologizes for actively participating in tormenting a black pregnant American in the past, and still doing it to the same American to this date.
I can’t really listen but I did visually see some of the clip and she did look up more than in past speeches. I can believe she read and practiced some beforehand. It wasn’t memorized and she still needed notes but I think she did manage to look down at her notes less than she usually does. So sure, progress. The bar is barely off the ground but sure.
That’s pizzazz, Jais.
Pizazz and jazz hands!
Yeahhhh…..its an improvement but its still not good.
It really is an improvement from some of the earlier ones. It’s still a ways off from what I would consider really good but there is a difference from her first ones.
She’s making sure to look up more frequently and to smile more, so yeah, minor improvements, I guess, but she still reads almost the entire thing and plays with her hair far too much.
I cut her *so* much slack with this issue over the years because of how terrified I myself am of public speaking, but this is ridiculous— after 15 years, she should be able to give a brief speech (about her “life’s work,” no less — a topic you think she’d be knowledgeable about and conversant in without needing notes, considering how “passionate” she is about it 🙄) off the cuff. I wouldn’t even blame her for wanting to have some notes there as a reassurance, but she shouldn’t need to actually use them at this point once she gets going.
It seems very clear that she read that speech exactly once before giving it herself, and that was probably last night on her phone (or in the car on the way to the engagement).
My issue with this early childhood message is that it doesn’t go anywhere and it seems to diminish people who had difficult childhood experiences and succeed anyway. Yes if you are lucky enough to have a perfect childhood you are probably going to be more balanced as an adult. But a lot of people don’t and in a work environment there are people who have multiple childhood experiences and struggles in their adult life and still turn up for work and do a good professional job. So what is the point exactly and where is this leading. She talks about caring but I don’t think she cares. Maybe the people involved in the project behind the scenes and writing her speech could say something better than this.
I can’t listen to this–because it’s too annoying–but from what I’ve read I don’t really understand the whole point of her & this conference. Happy childhood = good little worker bees? A caring boss = happy little cogs in a wheel = bigger profits? And how did that degree in art history prepare her for this?????
The wig looks like a hood Kate is wearing. She has access to the best hairdressers and does nothing to improve.
it makes me think of the bit in Spare where harry said that his father (and the queen I think) really liked kate’s “long mane” so he recommended meghan wear her hair down when they met.
beyond the total weirdness of having to dress/style yourself in a way to appeal to your potential father in law, it does make me think of kate’s hair. she clearly knows that they like her long hair, and perhaps it’s the only thing they’ve complimented her on. it’s not to excuse the bad wigs, but I presume it’s why she insists on them, rather than doing something new that would look better (something shorter perhaps with fewer pieces). you’d think they’d be offering her so much flexibility following her illness, but we know they aren’t like that.
Except she did keep her hair somewhat shorter around the time of Meghan’s wedding and even before Sussexit. There’s long hair and then there’s loooonnnng hair. Meghan’s hair got longer after she moved back to Cali and then guess what? So did Kate’s. Coincidence?
The “long mane” is Kate’s single defining characteristic, and has been since she entered the public eye. It was also a symbol of her youth (when she started dating William) and being a down-to-earth commoner. But it looks absolutely ridiculous to wear it this way when she is dressed in suits or formal gowns.
I can well imagine that it’s the thing Charles and the Queen liked about her – it certainly wasn’t her sparkling wit or having any personal hobbies or interests. Can you imagine if, when asked about what they like most about you, your spouses family said “hair”???
I get the vibe that she’s hiding behind her hair now. Almost like a security blanket.
Totally agree with all of this, especially the part about her hair being like a security blanket at this point.
I’m a little older than Kate and still have long hair, and so do most of my friends; when I was little, I feel like most women, and definitely moms, automatically got short, “sensible” haircuts after a certain age, and I’m glad those days are over!
But this is TOO MUCH HAIR, Kate! She really does have super pretty natural hair, and even if she wants to wear some extensions for some extra volume, fine, but she has the resources to get it done well so she doesn’t look ridiculous. Yet her hair has looked positively ludicrous (and usually in a different way from the last time we saw her! It seems like it’s a different color every week) every time we’ve seen her for months.
She should have tried to keep her hair as close to possible as it was when she got engaged/married, imo, and throughout 2011-2012. Maybe a little shorter *eventually*. That was when she was new to most of the world and the most beloved/popular she’d ever be…I get wanting to keep the same “look.” And we know William likes long hair, so it’s not surprising that it’s not short, it’s surprising that it always manages to look so bad!
We know she has grays to cover, but she can have the best colorist in London come to her palace/castle/lodge/wherever to do her hair, and she can get a new blowout every day if she wants. There is no excuse for the insanely cheap, dated-looking, poorly blended extensions and wigs she’s been sporting. Some days I truly question if she looked in a mirror.
If the camera adds ten pounds she is in real trouble, You can see how she’s just a wisp in the few seconds of video from the side. She’s probably wearing the smallest size available of the suit, and it’s just hanging off of her as if she is a child putting on mom’s clothing to play dress-up.
Her chin and cheekbones are getting really prominent as she loses weight from her face too….
Watched it on mute – there’s something about her voice that grates on the nerves.
What’s with the lopsided mouth?
Maybe it’s connected to those months she went missing?
Diana was making powerhouse speeches when she was much younger than Kate. So was Meghan.
I don’t think Kate has pizzazz at all.
@Liz L – Only a Sykophant would think she has pizzazz (I’m assuming Syko’s latest ingratiating, pick me piece will be discussed soon)
No, her lower jaw has always skewed right. I noticed it in her engagement interview–which for some bizarre reason is making the rounds right now.
No, it’s been like that. Maybe it’s just her mouth shape idk. But there were pics from the Caribbean tour like that when she was just smiling in the green Scarlett O’Hara dress. It’s also a screenshot of her talking so that has more to do with it really. I can believe that trying to speak in a posh accent might be why.
During the Caribbean flop tour she was so jacked with Botox that her face was lopsided. That scarlet O’Hara photo in particular showed that.
This isn’t criticism of (just) Kate as much as it is of her team but the whole purpose of this “inaugural summit” was what specifically?
W&K have created such a toxic and oversaturated monster (the sycophantic rota) after they threw Meghan to wolves (whilst she was pregnant. excellent showcase of love and nurturing the early years there btw) that there’s absolutely no focus on the impact. They’re just focused on the superficial sh*t. Literally all the magazine and newspaper covers here in the U.K. are some form of “Kate made a speech” and “Kate wears a suit”
It’s the same with that national symposium two years ago. Wasn’t that supposed to be a yearly thing? Shouldn’t there be follow ups? What about the other charities and centres you’ve invited who have already done so much work in this field?
It’s busywork, pure and simple.
“thread”, “fabric”, “texture”?? What a nonsensical word salad. This isn’t even a call to business leaders to do more to support their employees, nor does it highlight the failures of the various governments to truly support children and families. Kate is so hamstrung by her royal “role” that she’ll never be able to get past the most surface level to address the real issues and concerns. Her hair took this outfit from professional and turned it into a costume, no true professional would have such unkept looking hair.
And if anyone actually believes that she wrote this patronizing nonsense, well …
Can I defend Katy Keen for a second here,i am one of those people who used to get almost paralysed before our Uni presentations especially the solo ones. They are natural public speakers and a close example to Kate would be Meghan and then there are people who just cannot ever be convincing no matter how much they practice.
For me, the issue is that she had 8+ years before marrying William to practice and more than a decade since her marriage to become a competent public speaker but she obviously didn’t bother to even try. Kate must have been aware that the royals are forever giving public speeches so to be so poor at it so many years later really speaks to her lack of regard for her role and woeful misunderstanding of what is expected. I would also put blame on William for not helping her prepare to be successful in her role.
For me, the poor speech giving (and lack of preparation, which is part of that), is just emblematic of her overall issues with being a working royal. she’s not good at any part of it, not even being polite in church. If she wasn’t good at speeches but was putting in 300 events a year, or was known for being super involved with certain charities, or didnt go on 10 vacations a year while refusing to work, etc – then I could be like “okay public speaking is hard for some people.” (and it definitely is!)
but this is just one more area where she’s just lacking and probably doesnt care bc she gets praised for it regardless.
@Neeve I used to sound just like you, lol. For years, I tried to give her a break when it came to the speeches. But Harla and Becks are right; she’s had years and years to work on it in an effort to get better, and she hasn’t, and as Becks said, overall she’s just so unbelievably bad at every aspect of her “job.” And she doesn’t care.
She pops up for a photo op at a useless engagement that is a waste of everyone’s time and only exists as a backdrop for said photo op. Then she goes back on vacation for months.
Kate has no interest in actually improving herself, only in getting out there into the public eye when Meghan has a lot going on to remind everyone that she exists, too.
It’s infuriating that this woman gets praised for basically waking up, getting dressed, and making it out of her manor to flap her hands around at some peasants for 20 minutes. Other people do ALL of the prep work, and Kate is lauded for her “devotion” to the Aarly Years. It’s all such a farce.
Kitty must have a sore neck today. I was SO distracted by her constant “for emphasis” head bobbing and resultant curtain of hair waving. I was also fascinated to see those brows “in real life“ – they are at a 45° angle and look crazy wild as she’s looking down at her notes. The gray and white suit contributes to her pallor. Overall, she’s like an image that was erased, but still has remnants on the page. I find her to be vapid and uninteresting as usual. Any “pizzazz” must be a result of this opportunity to sell to the British public her own “work life balance” sans the work part.
@T, omg this is so accurate! “Overall, she’s like an image that was erased, but still has remnants on the page.”
Gray is definitely not Kate’s color; it totally washes her out. She looks so much better in warmer tones.
I’ve seen clips of her speech elsewhere and it was the usual mumbling where you couldn’t understand certain words. An easy word like “between” is unrecognizable when she speaks and a word that’s not common for her like “profitable” becomes a speech nightmare for her. I intentionally avoid listening to her speak because her voice and accent is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me, but it was unavoidable in a podcast I was watching elsewhere so unfortunately I listened to her mumble words that no one has ever heard before. Her crooked mouth in the top photo probably explains why listening to her is inaudible whenever she gives a speech.
Her appearance reminds me of Diana when she was suffering from an ED but it’s concerning that in 2025 with all we know about Diana and ED, no one in her family is trying to help her. I don’t want to hear anything about cancer because I still question if she ever had it, but even if she did, that was over a year ago and as others have said, she looked better then than she does now. She’s gone on ski vacations where she’s skiing down slopes at least a couple of times this year. Wigs and wiglets are something that she’s been wearing for years and although they were obvious, they weren’t as obvious and cheap as what she’s been wearing lately. So cancer, whether she had it or not, isn’t the cause of whatever this sad display is.
I think she’s having a 40-something midlife crisis. Instead of buying a red corvette, she bought the extra long wig with ringlets. Imagine the hoots from the press if that had been Meghan! There would have been article after article about how “unroyal” her hair style is, and how it was an insult to the royal family.
Kate appears even more gaunt in the face than usual, and her grins and smiles for the cameras are not genuine. God, Sally Skellington has more meat on her bones than Kate. Honestly, eat something, woman! And cut your hair; it no longer flatters you.
@IONIO
I’d say not a good look is being a vile racist bully.
This is seriously the only place online other than royalist articles that complimented her speech. She mumbled her way through it.
I can’t watch the video. The secondhand embarrassment is too strong. It makes me queasy.
I made it about halfway through and couldn’t take it anymore, had to bounce!
What is provertability? At about 2:03.
I had to stop listening at her speech where she said “weave of love” because I was laughing too hard at the implication that she knows all about weaves.
That’s a hell of a lot of men in those photos for an event about mental health in the home or whatever the hell it is.
Are other women allowed to speak or be seen at these events when she’s there.
Apparently I’m feeling salty today.
One has to imagine a woman struggling with illness and from such a high status and wealthy family would look better for public events.
Rail thin and wan with too much mermaid hair, those 3-D eyebrows and a suit that disappeared her, you have to wonder if she has assistance from styling experts?
I watched the video and Kate certainly doesn’t have the personality or pizazz that Meghan has. I think Meghan and Harry are naturals at public speaking. I (almost) feel sorry for Kate. We’ve heard that William has a temper. Maybe he won’t allow her to cut her hair. Maybe he threatens to take away her title! I think Kate was relieved to have the BM’s vitriol directed at Meghan instead of her. You’d think she would have been more empathetic and supportive of Meghan. Especially when Meghan was pregnant! At least Kate had her family and friends to support her whereas Meghan was living in a foreign country which is a huge adjustment in any case. It’s all very sad. Women should support women.
The bar is very low for her. It’s like going from a D to a C+.
She sure lights up in a room full of men, doesn’t she? (Yes, yes, I know there were women there, but that’s not what we’re seeing in these photos.)
She also lights up in any space full of cameras.
I am 45, have a PhD in the field of linguistics, am a native English speaker, and speak 3 languages fluently and 1 additional passably. I work in speech-language pathology for native and non-native English speakers with issues specifically speaking English…and my LORD she is nearly impossible to understand. I’m literally an expert in the English language and with pronunciation problems in any accent…and she is actually almost impossible to understand. Yikes.
