Almost all of the royal reporters are in London today, attending Prince Harry’s trial against ANL/The Mail. Photographers already got tons of photos of Harry entering the Royal Court of Justice this morning. Various outlets (like the Telegraph) are running live blogs of what’s happening inside the courtroom. Meanwhile, Tweedlekeen and Tweedlebald are in Scotland today, furiously trying to change the subject away from Harry and away from Harry’s courage in standing up to another powerful media outlet. Of course, the Tweedles are also just trying to look busy, as they always do whenever Harry is in the UK.
The Prince and Princess of Wales – or the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay, as they’re known in Scotland – arrived in Stirling and Falkirk on Tuesday afternoon, already looking exhausted. It’s one of my favorite little “fun facts” about William and Kate – whenever they promise a day full of activities, they usually roll into their first event well after noon, and cycle through a series of 20-minute or 30-minute events. So it will be today. Their itinerary looks busy, until you realize that they’re just looking and listening and doing some prearranged photo-ops with winter Olympians. Kate’s coat is apparently a repeat.
Meanwhile, royal reporter Russell Myers has written a book dedicated to Will and Kate’s relationship, called William & Catherine: The Intimate Inside Story. It will be out next month. Myers promises to deliver “seismic revelations” and “unparalleled insight” into their marriage. I’ve already seen speculation that this book is yet another reason why William needs a crisis manager. Could be, although I think this is probably going to end up like Tina Brown’s The Palace Papers – the broad strokes will be very positive towards Will and Kate, but there will be some shady details here and there. It’s also more than possible that Kensington Palace has already coopted Myers and this will just be W&K’s keen narrative.

Yep they have run away to Scotland to try to take attention away from Harry but I love the picture of them in front of the horse statues. It’s like Horsilla and she is the horse on the right and is neighing with glee that what they are trying to do won’t work lol.
OMG! That header pic! Yo, crisis manager! Help, stat!
Yup, standing in front of their “relatives”, with their hands predictably in front of their crotches! Rinse and repeat…… So regal!
Horse’s ass, these two. No one cares or is interested in their appearances and awkward banter. These co-workers are such losers in every way possible.
Yall, I saw a video of them trying to curl and I’m dead. Kate’s coat is plaid and lovely but it was not worn with much thought to the event at hand. She could not bend down to curl in that long coat which made for a pretty funny vid of her trying to do so. This would’ve been a good time to consider the sporting nature of the event and do a quick change into pants. To be fair, maybe she didn’t know that she’d be asked to try curling, but as it was a sporting event, it might’ve been a safe bet to hazard a guess that maybe they would.
Even I knew they were going curling because it was mentioned in their itinerary a few days ago.
She’s just an idiot.
Ugh this is like a pet peeve of mine, when carefully planned outfits don’t work for the planned activities. This is 2 events in a row that Kate is hitting my pet peeve’s
Wait, she tried to wear that long coat while curling??? That’s just bad staff work – meeting the Olympic teams was announced previously. You have to really kneel down or sit to throw a stone, you wouldn’t want anything that drags or risks you toppling over! I just assumed she would have taken off the overcoat for a few minutes, but I guess that might give us a more realistic idea if how brief this visit was.
ETA I decided to actually look for the photos – it looks like she did take off the long plaid overcoat but was wearing a long skirt underneath, so she looked ridiculous.
Her long skirt outfits have become so dreary, hideous colors and frumpy hems. She used to look great in sporty clothes.
It’s pretty sad when her wearing jeggings would have been the smarter thing to wear today.
Okay, sorry, she wasn’t in the long coat but the long skirt underneath. It was just funny. She didn’t do too bad. But it was the whole trying to bend down in a long skirt thing that had me dying. It just would’ve been so much easier in her jeggings. It was funny though and she wasn’t that bad.
Tartan Disneyland for adult toddlers who need to be distracted from their emotions (rage)
Am I crazy or does she look a little less wiggy? Maybe she gave the larger gopher a day off? Also the sausage curls are toned way down.
Not that I want to give the Mail more clicks, but they have many photos where you can see her wiglet plopped on the back and not blended in at all. Sigh. Plus ca change…
I find it profoundly creepy to write a book about the “intimate” details of a marriage of two living people. But I’ll be here to discuss the excerpts anyway.
Unless they explain why Kate kept her face hidden over several months in 2024, this book will say nothing new.
ITA that unless this book gives actual details of the things that happened leading up to, during and after her disappearance, I’m not interested. We know that something happened between them during that time and pretending as if they are in a healthy relationship, is just continuous spin about their relationship.
I’m looking at the book as a bit of damage control. Rumors about their marriage have been swirling online for a long time now, not just since January 2024, although it did feel like it reached another level when even Colbert is talking about it. I think this book will describe how perfect their marriage is but there will be a few kernels of truth mixed in with all the honey.
I predict it will lean heavily on how H&M have ruined their world. Because it can’t be honest about their relationship and has to off readers something, anything,.
Does William still have his valet? Who dressed him this morning? I mean, the brown sweater with the blue coat…
Its what I said in the other post! This is his “casual” outfit! always blue and brown, although sometimes the pants are blue and the sweater or blazer are brown. here, he went for all brown with a pop of color in the blue jacket. Very daring of him lmao.
Did she have elastic put into the sides of the coat?
They look like a matchy-matchy 5 piece living room set. The cheap tacky sets.
In the guest room at my husband’s aunt’s house, the bedspread, canopy, loveseat cover, curtains, and the border along the wall are all matching navy/black/green plaid. It’s very much “Kate: The Room”, and it’s HORRIBLE. The canopy and curtains even have giant button tie-backs!
Lol – down to the buttons and all.
The more I look at the coat and notice details (like the side elastics) the more profoundly I dislike it.
At first look, I actually liked the color of plaid coat, but seeing her in the second photo where she’s hunched over with the odd elastic sides, I’m not as impressed with it anymore. Her posture makes her clothes look less flattering and appealing. He looks like what little boys are dressed like when you don’t want them in a suit so you go matchy matchy with this outfit. Every time I see him dressed like this I think of them when he and Harry were much younger and that makes him look more immature than a statesman.
It looked distinctly odd to me as well, it looks as if the coat was too big and had the elastic put in to show off her waist. I normally like her coats, they always look well tailored but not this one.
From the header photo I thought, “She has finally cut her hair into a long bob and it looks great!” Alas, no. But that photo (and the one where she is waving and smiling like a maniac) shows how good she would look with that style.
Seriously, how much cuter would her hair look in a shoulder length bob? The waving photo you mention shows exactly how it would look if she chopped her hair. So much better. If you’re reading this Kate, do it!
I’m really annoyed they’re at the Kelpies (water horse statues). I go there all the time, I don’t want it sullied!
Sorry yer spot has been ruined by these two. I wonder why they chose to go to the Kelpies? Did they take a wee jaunt along the Nolly on a barge into Glesga and admire the feat that is the Falkirk Wheel along the way? Questions need answering!
I think they did it to make it appear as if they did more work than they actually did. These photo ops are included as separate events and they have to make sure that they fluff their engagement numbers.
Love the statues. Very cool.
This might just be because I’m under 5′ tall and have to be careful with many patterns lest they overwhelm me, but I really don’t like tartan for a garment like a long coat. It’s too much. Did Kate think that maybe if the pattern looked really busy, people would forget that she’s not?
They are so obvious and its hilarious. Everyone knows why they’re in Scotland, everyone knows why they’re working this week. Even the most sycophantic RRs cant really cover for them even though they’re trying.
My neck hurts just looking at her terrible posture. The body language is so telling with these two. She tries to get close and he couldn’t give a damn.
That picture of her alone (maybe she’s just getting out of the car? don’t know) she is hunched over…she looks like she’s in pain?
Brittle bones? But she always seems to enter a room chin first. It’s not new.
Her posture has deteriorated greatly in the last couple of years. Wonder why.
Headline:
“Kate the Great, please stand up straight!”
Something nice. I think her coat is pretty.
It really is funny that they had to go as far away as Scotland because Harry’s in London. They are pathetic.
My thought as well, pathetic.
I have no doubt that this new William and Kate book was sanctioned by KP. It’s also supposed to talk about Harry and Meghan leaving so I’m sure they will be used to promote the book. Kate’s coat is new BTW. It’s a custom piece by Saville Row tailor Chris Kerr. She has about 2 or 3 similar coats from the tailor.
So thousands spent on it, then. So she could have a different blue tartan coat instead of one of the 100s of blue coats in her wardrobe.
She has multiple other tartan coats. There is no excuse for this woman’s fashion.
This biography moves beyond the headlines as it explores love, resilience, and their journey together as they navigate their public duties amid this unprecedented era.”
This sounds pure Mills and Boon and no where near the truth. Actually I wonder if a UK publisher would ever dare publish a book that told the truth about them unless or until they announce a separation. Omid Scobie approached it as “rumours ” when he wrote Endgame. Andrew’s biographer also said that just the rumours about Rose were enough for Kate to take her wedding ring off, insist Will break off the friendship and have therapy!!
Keen should have gotten therapy during the waiting years and either studied early childhood and gottem a,proper job . Scooter needed therapy A long time ago.
That coat… Ugh…
This would have been just the right time for one of her viciously tailored 1950/60s style coat dresses!
Everything seems out of sync with WanK these days and it’s so obvious that she is physically swamped by her own garments recently.
KP insisted she doesn’t need a stylist or ‘glam squad’ but it’s plainly necessary.
It’s looking kinda gloomy up there in Scotland today. Don’t tell me Kate wouldn’t rather be sitting next to Harry in court, flirting and tossing her “hair” in his direction.
Dear Jaysus, I know I say this all the time but her posture is fu*king atrocious.
