Jeez, won’t someone think of the poor Princess of Wales? She’s working her fingers to the nub! Three public appearances in six days?? And they made Kate go out in the rain as well. Y’all know that wig smelled like wet dog. Anyway, Prince William and Kate had to run down to Powys, Wales today, Thursday, February 26. This is being called an appearance in advance of St. David’s Day, which is March 1st. Usually, William and Kate try to go to Wales ON St. David’s Day. Why did they go a few days beforehand? Is it because March 1st is on a Sunday this year and they don’t want to work on two weekends back-to-back? LMAO.
Kate wore various shades of red/wine. Her coat (a repeat) is McQueen and those shoulders are doing her no favors. Her blouse is from ME+EM and it looks totally ‘80s. Her boots are Gianvito Rossi. She also wore a pair of Kiki McDonough citrine-drop earrings. As you can see, they were doing stuff with daffodils. Daffodils are worn (and carried) to celebrate Welsh heritage. Kate and William have no Welsh heritage. But hey, they came out in the rain and they made little kids stand out in the rain to meet them too. All so they wouldn’t have to work on Sunday!

She’s back to flag dressing again. None of it goes, it’s too fussy, and those boots are hideous. Those poor kids having to wait in the rain to see some strange woman gurn at them.
Also, if it’s going to rain, and you know it’s going to rain, why not wear a raincoat? Why wear a wool coat? Does she have no Burberry trenches in her closets?
Those poor little kids with the soaking wet hair! I hope everybody got home OK & changed their clothes & had some hot cocoa!
Yes must do photo op on Thursday so as not to screw up weekend.
She sure looks tired.
She can’t pull off monochromatic looks – she ends up clashing instead of looking chic and classy.
She is swimming in that coat. She somehow looks skinnier than she did last week.
I don’t like her, at all, and she went into this with eyes as wide open as they can be – but how devastating it must be to be so sick and not have anyone in your life willing to help you.
That’s why it’s bs when they pretend the Middletons are a close family. Well no they aren’t because decent parents would have taken real action to help their daughter, not negotiate for more access to royal perks with the husband making life difficult for their daughter.
They are a mercenary family. No better than the Windsor.
There’s a photo not featured on here where she’s holding her left arm out and it’s basically all bone. I was appalled. Nobody in her life gives a damn about her, not to say she should be surprised. The firm & Midds only gave a hoot when she provided the heir and spares. It was always going to end this way.
Yeah that picture where she’s looking at William is really sad. There’s no way that you can look at that and not be very concerned about the health of a person that size.
As for her family I wonder if it’s the case of not wanting the intervene because it’s more beneficial for her to be inside the tent rather than out, or if there has been some attempt at intervention and she’s too obstinate to take them seriously.
It’s really hard to say because her mom is her mom, I can’t really get a read on her dad, I’m not sure what sort of relationship she has with her sister if one. And her brother appears to be clutching on to her with both hands and legs for the sheer association so I don’t know if he would ever rock the boat by going against her.
This is so disingenuous — y’all have decided she faked everything and now that she actually looks sick (and she does) it’s tut tut won’t someone care. You decided she didn’t have cancer or GI issues but are all in on pretending to care if she has an ED.
Pointing out that she has a problem and that it’s obvious that she doesn’t have anyone in her life that cares enough to help her isn’t disingenuous. I can’t stand her because by everything she has shown and done, she is a racist and liar who was willing to risk the lives of Meghan, Archie, Lilibet and Harry for her own benefit. That doesn’t mean that I don’t notice that something is physically and likely wrong with her and no one around her seems to care. Noticing that no one cares about her health does not mean that I or anyone else is disingenuous. And just because I (or we) don’t like her that doesn’t mean that we want anything to happen to her or that we are cheering it on.
Have they been told that this is the new regime of getting out and about at least three days a week or is this just during the Andrewgate emergency and normal lethargy will soon be resumed?
Plus Harry and Meghan are doing great things in Jordan, so the Wails have no choice, poor dears.
They were probably already doing to so something for St David’s Day, though, but maybe they wouldn’t have actually gone there? Or maybe that’s why they’re there today instead of on the actual day this weekend (also it’s the weekend).
The boots and shoulder pads aren’t my thing, but I think she looks good here, apart from the fried wig. I adore the citrine earrings!
This is the kind of bread-and-butter event they should be doing five days a week, all year.
But they won’t. This latest flurry is literally because of Andrewgate and Harry & Meghan in Jordan. They have done this tactic for years.
Flurry of engagements > social media post commemorating XYD Day/Week > exhaustion kicks in > holiday. Then repeat.
They will disappear for Easter soon enough.
Yep, it’s a flurry that will not be maintained.
The hair is still too long and she needs to let go of the curls. But at least it’s not as….big…as some of the others she could have chosen. There. I said something nice. Goal met for the week.
@HeatherC – And it’s only Thursday, so it’s an early weekend for you! Good job!
There stands Keen, dry as a bone under her cozy umbrella, while those poor kids get soaked.
Why hasn’t their newly employed crisis manager told them that leaving people out in the freezing rain is a terrible look? This has to be the third time they’ve done this to small kids now.
Of course they’re out H and M can’t be the only ones getting world news attention.
She looks on pins. He looks disinterested. Basically the same old, same old from these two.
Hi Duchess, may I ask you what the phrase, ‘she looks on pins’ means?
Nervous, anxiety ridden, and or extremely tense much like the phrase “walking on egg shells” pretty common phrase for anyone who lives in an abusive situation because it is literally how you live your day to day life.
At least she skipped the big monster hair for her darker workday wig and a lighter make-up (or photoshop us back?). Andrewgate or the Jordantour seem to have lit a fire under their lazy behinds…
The rain would have frizzed the doll curls? She’d look so much better with straightish hair at shoulder length or just below.
It remains pathetic that she does those puppy dog looks to William and he continuously ignores her.
I honestly don’t know how she can persist in this humiliation … but her body is keeping the score. She is wasting away.
Agreed 💯 ladies. I had a brief relationship in my mid twenties with a very attractive man who sulked to punish me and keep me in line. His specialty was to be the life and soul of the party just to emphasize how much he was cold-shouldering me. It was humiliating and soul destroying especially in public when I was frozen out. Luckily I wasn’t desperate, had enough pride and self worth to realise I deserved better treatment and move on with my life. Seeing Kate fawn over him is triggering because I could interpret it as her trying to placate and appease him to avoid all that coldness and fury being directed at her.
Keen just has to give those festive glances and adoring looks that Scooter does not return. She needs a good hair stylist.
Masterful job selecting photos, per usual, Kaiser! 👏🏻
Haor the BEST I have seen in a long time, it looks like it was flat ironed and its all silky and healthy looking.
In the picture of her and the two children, she’s looking right past them at what could only be a camera instead. The one below it is her classic, I’m concerned, take my picture pose, and what the hell is she doing to that baby in the picture below her custom posing? That poor child must have been terrified.
The traveling royal circus 🎪 is in Wales today.What a joke. £500m annually for a pantomime. 🤦🏽♀️ The ‘Corrupt Windsors’ are not worth to cost to have them. They are a toxic dysfunctional royal ‘mafia’ family and institution.
I don’t like to health watch people, but she’s lost way too much weight which is aging her severely.
Did she sport her real hair in those engagement photos from way back in time? I thought her hair looked gorgeous. If that was her real hair, why is she wearing a wig now?
The outfit looks ok. I am happy when they do the bread and butter work. Good job. Another one of these soon?
omg, someone on threads posted pictures of this whole set up today. The crowds were dismal. As in, she posted two people waiting before they brought in the school kids and some of their parents. The utility workers had to stop working lol.
They were helicoptered in and then a tent was set up with private facilities for them – I assume bathrooms, to brush up appearances, etc.
Kate is such a bad dresser.
William does have Welsh heritage, at least through his Tudor ancestors, but it goes back 500 years.
