Here are more photos of the Prince and Princess of Wales on Thursday, February 5th. Prince William and Kate traipsed over to Lambeth Palace, where they met with the new Archbishop of Canterbury, Dame Sarah Mullally. I didn’t realize that Dame Sarah only officially became the Archbishop last week, so it’s not like William and Kate were “late” meeting her. Considering that they often refuse to attend major events and meetings, it’s remarkable that they were able to get this photo-op the week after Dame Sarah’s official appointment.
Princess Kate wore a new(ish) ensemble – her coat, with those terrible shoulders, is apparently a bespoke Catherine Walker, and she likely has this same coat in different colors. Kate wore a new Edeline Lee dress, which has one of her favorite silhouettes. There were lots of comments about Kate “copying” the Duchess of Sussex’s many brown/chocolate ensembles. You can definitely see the Meghan inspo, but Kate put her own keen/dated/Edwardian spin on it. The Mail is also making a big deal about Kate wearing a new-to-us necklace. This is from Daniella Draper and it retails for £1,555. Can’t believe the Mail refused to tally the cost of ALL of Kate’s jewelry here, like they do every time Meghan breathes or posts an Instagram. Let me also say something nice about Kate’s necklace: while I think the piece is rather gaudy, I appreciate the fact that theme-dresser Kate didn’t wear a crucifix necklace for this meeting. There’s no need to pretend that Kate and William are super-religious, and I appreciate that they aren’t draping themselves in religious gear.
Meanwhile, it was also confirmed yesterday that Prince William will attend Dame Sarah’s installation as the Archbishop of Canterbury, which they’ve scheduled to coincide with the Feast of the Annunciation on March 25. That would be like installing a new pope on Good Friday or something, right?? Damn. The Telegraph said that it’s actual tradition for the heir to the throne, rather than the monarch, to attend the installation of a new AoC. No word on whether Kate will join her husband at the installation.

Keen needs a stylist desperately. The shape of the jacket shoulders looks so bad and she looks dowdy. Plus that wig hanging over her shoulder.
I don’t watch any of the newer Star Trek show but those shoulders made me think Star Trek as soon as I saw them.
My mind went to Cruella De’ Vil…on a different person those could be fun,
I can’t see anything beyond those shoulder pads in these photos 😳 they are truly ridiculous looking.
I guess she needs a lot of structure and support in her clothing to help hold the wig up.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
What in the Chinese pagoda hell is going on with the shoulder pads of this coat? Gah!
This woman sucks.
Perfect description of those shoulder pads lol
Lazy and Ragey take their sideshow on the road. They both look a mess. The dress is too long, the shoulder pads are too wide and the doll hair is too much. His beard is not getting any better and his suit looks ill fitted.
Why have money and not use it to at least look good?
Has she been wearing lower heels (2” not 3”) and block heels recently, and is this a permanent change? I always thought the stilettos were ridiculous, nobody’s worn them to work since the pandemic.
Kate is quite tall right probaly 5’9″, she does hover over most people so it does look silly at times. Not to heel watch but similar to what Michelle Obama did,I think she was conscious of not towering over people so she wore kitten heels.
What is going on with her ankles and feet???? They look like they have some type of mushroom/fungus growing on them.
I didn’t notice them at first, but you are right! They aren’t simply swollen…I’m not a doctor and I don’t know what they are…
Those lumps look concerning. No idea what they are. And then there’s her neck. Not looking well.
That is really peculiar.
Her feet never looked like that before.
They look like ganglion cysts. I had one on my wrist that looked just like it. She also has big toe bunions because I’ve seen them in other photos. She needs a good podiatrist.
these two are the digestive biscuit equivalent of humans. boring, beige and do not fulfil their purpose.
You know what? Seeing these pictures, the chocolate dress actually looks nice but I can’t tell what the rest of it looks like. I actually hate it with that jacket. But the dress looks nice from what i can see. She should rewear it one day without the jacket. And I’m a fan of the necklace. Gold and gaudy works for me. But you gotta do it right. So I’m not a fan of the necklace styled like this, with this outfit.
Her neck on these photos tells everything you need to know about her situation. And I’m sure it’s partially photoshopped…I bet it’s worst in reality
Turkey neck….
And Turkey feet, looking at those lumps on her feet.
I didn’t know that browns could clash.
those browns look terrible together. They totally clash! The jacket looks almost purple next to the dress. Does she get dressed in the dark? Or is her eyesight going? Can no one tell her that it looks bad together?
Just like non-caucasians, all browns look alike to her.
🤣
Every time I see Kate, I think about how good she would look with a sleek chin length bob. She would look chic and age appropriate.
Yes, Kate does have this coat in other colours, navy blue and black. The shoulder pads are just terrible and I think the dress could have been a bit shorter.
On Star Trek there are a group called the Cardashians ( not kidding look it up) spelled with a C and they have those shoulder pads that come to a point like she is wearing.
Oh that’s funny!
Nope it’s the Romulans that have shoulder pads but the Cardassiens are more reptiles.
NOPE!!! It’s the Romulans that have the shoulder pads!!!
“Cardassians”. No ‘h’.
Yep I corrected in my comment above. But it’s the Romulans that have the shoulder pads.
I love when she wears a prominent new piece of jewelry or clothing, especially when the jewelry has a “handwritten message” the press will now try to suss out, while claiming she doesn’t want the focus on her or her fashion.
Who bought her the necklace? Surprised we weren’t told that Devoted Husband has bought it her for Valentine’s Day? Kate huffed about not getting an Easter gift from her in laws can you imagine getting zip for Valentine’s Day for the past 2 decades from her tightwad husband?!
The necklace probably came to her by way of Carole.
i don’t like the necklace, I think it looks like something Charlotte would wear.
This was just not a good look for her. The dress actually isn’t bad (my guess though is that without the coat, it highlights her extreme thinness) but the coat clashes with it and the brown tights and heels just make it worse. I am literally just so puzzled by how she dresses. How hard is to put together a basic professional outfit for a meeting like this? Millions of women do it every day for work. I could understand her looks falling flat and being “meh” if she was trying new trends or trying to be cutting edge. but she’s not. She’s wearing a basic brown dress that’s office appropriate with a long coat over it and heels. how does that go wrong??
ETA also no Anunciation is not like Good Friday. it’s an important holiday but not on the level of Holy Week. They actually delay it if it falls during holy week.
Awwww look – Waity bought herself a Valentine necklace that she hopes people will think is from her husband. How sweet.
The browns of the dress and coat clash so badly as to cause distraction. As for the rest, it is clear that living at Forest Lodge isn’t doing her any good.
Scooter is now pointing like Charles does
