The Princess of Wales was out today on a scheduled event for Armistice Day (Veterans Day here in America). She visited the National Memorial Arboretum, and this was her first solo event in a month or longer. Kate was the “senior royal” sent to observe a moment of silence for veterans. This job usually goes to a “blood royal,” but there are so few of them around these days, this event is left to the married-ins. Um, where the hell is William?
Kate wore a repeat – she’s worn this Catherine Walker coat to Remembrance Sundays in years past. I call this one her Sgt. Pepper coat because of the tassels and chest embroidery. During her outing on Sunday at the Cenotaph, I noted that Kate’s eyebrows look somewhat crazy right now. You can see it again in these photos. Is she just filling them out too much? What’s going on there?
It’s also noteworthy that Queen Camilla was out this morning too. Cam stole Kate’s thunder on Armistice Day! Camilla visited the London Paddington train station as part of the ‘Poppies to Paddington’ event.

Badly fitting dress for Camilla. What’s with keens eyebrows and she looks annoyed. And where is peggs.
It looks like a face lift or recent heavy botox are causing the severe arch in her eyebrows. She tends to wear hats the shield her forehead from view for several outings after procedures like this. The lip plumpers are nearing extreme levels as well.
But thank goodness this outing is just a woman with grown up hair, wearing grown up clothes, and standing silently and solemnly for a solemn event like a damn grown up. It’s sad how low the bar is for her, but she’s managed to clear it today.
…Well done?
She looks so much better with her hair up. She has such a severe standing bitch face, she needs to smile more.
As much as I dislike Kate, no woman should be told to smile more. Just no.
I always used to get comments to smile, or I would be prettier if I smiled.
F**k off. Has a man ever been told to smile outside a photo shoot?
If misery had a name it would be Katherine wales.
Yeah. Misery that she giddily signed up for, despite 10 years of red flags along the way.
I will not praise her lazy ass for doing events she should be doing way more often.
That coat is ridiculous and she LOOKS ridiculous. Her eyebrows have a bit too sharp of an arch and it makes her look like Queen Grimhilde of Snow White. Not a good look at all.
Obviously Willy is wiped out and resting from his “big boy” Earth Shit party, with all that fake reading, posing, posturing, volleyball, and tucking his shirt in his pants — he needed a nap.
Yah! The “Tit Tassels” are back, my “favorite” of kate’s coat dresses is getting a replay.
Seriously! First, it’s Keen the Pilgrim. Then it’s Steampunk Keen. Now, Keen the Wee Soldier. It’s literally cos play run amok!
I think the separation/divorce agreement doesn’t come with clothing/stylist allowance. Kate got the house for her, the kids and her parents. She’s going to either have to pay for her own stylist, or dress herself (it looks like she’s dressing herself). This is why Natasha Archer left, I believe. No amount of lies about Harry and Meghan – in the Daily Mail, NY Post and the rest of the tabloid rags will convince me otherwise.
Same. She loves clothes and fashion. Her clothes were the only thing about her that people really talked about. Now she’s doesn’t even have that. I think it’s a way of controlling/punishing her as well as limiting how much she’s talked about.
I think it also has to do with limiting how much she’s talked about. William is petty and jealous like his dad, he’d definitely do something like that.
I think she gets an allowance but it doesn’t seem as big as it was when Charles was paying.
Also, I think she has so many black coats that she is re-wearing due to the cost of living crisis.
I don’t think they care about the cost of living crisis. They’ve taken several vacations this year and Kate has probably already moved into another forever home.
C’s “hair” is up for the first time in long time. Some talk on here a few days ago on how hair is always down.
But real question is : where is Wm??
Wonder if the sausage curls were fighting with the epaulettes, tassels, and braid, and the curls lost.
LOL! She looks ridiculous!
That fake hairpiece attached to the back of her head like a thanksgiving bread basket is quite a scene.
It immediately reminded me of challah bread
Yes!!! I debated between Thanksgiving bread basket and challah
Kate always looks like she’s wearing a costume and it just looks bizarre when normal people are nearby. At least the mop is in an updo but this tassels coat in particular has been a child’s version of what a soldier looks like.
… Or mocking what soldiers look like!
Listen, since she does not have a lace bib emerging from her neck this time, I’m gonna call this absolutely fine and appropriate, military cosplay and tassels and all. That lace thing was just plain silly. Truly. It just laid there.
Anyways, I think William feels like he just worked so hard in Brazil while Kate had an extra week of vacay and so now it’s her turn. You know they get into back and forths of who did what and when and who’s turn it is this time .
I think Willy is just pouting in a bottle after his Brazil trip disaster. Man child that he is I’m sure he’s still raging at home smashing things.
I agree with you. I think the wales probably had no intention of attending anything other than the Remembrance Sunday. After being prevailed upon to attend an individual ceremony, William simply refused as he’s been working “so much.”
Well, she looks better than she did on Sunday, so I guess that’s something.
Where the hell is william? This is the kind of absence that feels so notable – no effort is required here besides showing up and looking respectful, much like the Festival of Remembrance. And yet he’s a no-show. Is he sulking about the thunder stealing during Earthshot??
That’s my thought exactly…
William is busy briefing about how the told the kids about Kate’s health issues. That’s how well Earthshot went over.
But also the future king hiding on Remembrance Day remains a very bad look.
Sargent pepper coat. Kaiser, you never stop making me laugh
To me it looks like they outlined her ribs.
I hate to say this but K’s outfit is actually more suited for today than Cam’s bright colour.
And who chopped off 2/3rds of her (hideous) overcoat?
“And who chopped off 2/3rds of her (hideous) overcoat?”
It looks like a bed jacket.
That’s what I thought–I found a pretty silk bed jacket in a vintage store years ago & bought it. Never really found a use for it as I’m not one to laze around in bed. Same overall silhouette, including the shoulder pads.
Im guessing she overdid the botox, it’s common to see the eyebrows lift too much when that happens. Coat is fine, same old.
WHAT is camilla wearing – sack the stylist!
Is William really so jetlagged he can’t do any of these events?? Something is up here. Its so weird to me all the PR of this future king but he avoids every opportunity to actually be one?
Re the eyebrows, I went for an upper bleph consult and the surgeon told me this usually results in the outside wings of the eyebrow angling up. I declined because I like my eyebrows the way they are, but maybe Kate went ahead?
I think Camilla looks fine for a 70-something woman. She doesn’t have much shape, so her clothing usually looks like a sack, but whatever.
Yes, where the hell is William? That’s the big story here.
Just searched photos of upper bleph and you could be right! Some of the results looked good though I have to say…
Kate had the upper bleph surgery a few years ago because the eyebrow angling up has been noticeable for a while.
But whatever happened last year (some pics make the scar more visible today) has likely made it even more obvious.
I’m fairly certain Kate has had both an upper and lower bleph. Her under eye bags used to be much worse.
Camilla has a stylist? AYFKM?
I think her stylist must be related to Angela Kelly. She’s getting revenge for the undignified ouster Angela endured.
The Nipple Tassels of Remembrance made an appearance, is nature healing?
They eyebrows are not just too dark, by a lot, or too arched, by a lot. They are much too close to the nose. I’d say overshooting by a whole quarter inch or close to it. The inside of the properly sculpted eyebrow is perpendicular to the outer edge of the nostril (assuming you haven’t had massive nose job shrinkage).
I think this is the first time we’re seeing this outfit in full. We’ve only seen her wearing it on the Foreign Office balcony for Remembrance Sunday. She looks fine. I question why she felt she needed to buy a new hat when she has several black ones though.
Is that a lazy royal or Mr Spock in a goth Beetles cover band?
The scarlett in mourning outfit
Where does Cam shop?!? I can’t imagine how difficult it must be to find her all these ugly dresses time and time again.
Besides being ugly, Camilla’s dress is a terrible colour for this occasion. How difficult would it be to wear black, navy blue, or dark charcoal grey?
I really like Kate’s earrings.
Could Kate look any more miserable?
The dark Mary Poppins cosplay looks even more ridiculous when she is surrounded by normal people. No one else dresses this way to honour veterans.
Botox injections for the “elevens” scowl will cause one’s eyebrows to flare up at the ends like Kate’s. For me, it’s a dead giveaway that she uses botox.
I’ve been on the ‘tox for years due to chronic migraines, and my eyebrows have never looked crazy. She needs a new doctor.
Close-ups of her smiling also give it away; her forehead is as smoth as a bowling ball except for the edges, and she gets it on the regular. She has that overall shine too, and you can tell when it’s fresh. That being said, I thought the press wasn’t going to comment on Kate’s clothing anymore …
No crows feet either at pass forty there should be some.
She’s had upper bleph surgery on top of botox. I would trace it to 2022 at the earliest.
Would that be after her trip to Denmark or wherever it was where they dragged her out of bed early in the morning to do something with kids & she looked all bleary-eyed? Her lids were really heavy that day.
Cam’s dress wasn’t styled for sitting down. She wore that short black cape back when Charles was having prostate surgery. Maybe it was in style then. I was surprised that she didn’t wear a hat.
Wearing new outfits was part of Kate’s job as a working royal. She gave it up along with working. Besides, real English country women like Kate love nature and re-wear clothes.
Camilla’s jacket reminds me of a bed jacket like my grandmother used to wear … in bed … and Camilla’s dress, as usual, looks like a Vanity Fair robe.
William is a disgrace missing this event. Kate’s eyebrows are doing more work than he is.
(Apologies if this posts multiple times; I’m dealing with some dodgy wifi.)
She has good brows, but she’s filling them in too darkly, too fully, too arched, and too uniformly. This is such an unforced error, and it suggests that she’s doing her own makeup. If she’s not careful, she’ll end up as a subject on one of my favorite guilty-pleasure/trite-crap subreddits: r/whybrows
It looks like she uses a brow stencil instead of freehanding it. I get filling them in, but this is too much on her.
On the actual Armistice Day or Remembrance Day here in Canada the two wives are sent out. Charles is sick, but as everyone has said, where’s William? This could be the start of a new meme: Where’s the Prince of Wales, and will morph into where’s the King?
I believe the heavy hitters, Anne and Sophie, are currently out of the country.
I can’t believe that after missing VJ day , Wilbur is choosing to miss 11 November ceremony attended just by his wife? But here we are. It makes me cross how much Meghan is policed for no reason but not FK held to account for missing such an important International day of Remembrance? Why isn’t more being asked of him? Genuine question here: when he is actually King IS he going to turn up for these events or NOT?
Even with the velcro bun having her hair up like that looks significantly better than down.
She’s practicing for her evil queen era with those eyebrows. What’s scary is that this repeat coat looks BIG on her now.
There’s the darn smokey eye again except it wasn’t blended. Someone get her some makeup application classes or something. She needs to learn about daytime eye makeup.
I do think you are right Kaiser that they cut her clothing allowance, but why?
I’ve noticed that the Tabs are always giving Kate “praise” for something that she does at an event, usually something that is really just expected. This is really infantilizing. I don’t think anyone else is treated this way by the tabs. It’s as if they feel the need, or are told, to keep encouraging her, like you would a child or a teen-ager.
@Tamsin – it’s long been my belief that the press have been told to ‘keep encouraging her’ as far as KM is concerned.
To prove the point, can you imagine them writing in such a way at the time about Diana? Or writing in such a way now about Anne or Sophie? No, is the short answer. And all this for a woman who’s now been on the scene for 15 years – she and W became engaged November 2010 and she commenced ‘work’ immediately. Fifteen years and people have to tread on eggshells around her.
She and the Middletons have made a laughing stock of the British royal family.
Despite the story on this site, I truly believe Kate had Meghan’s red flower stolen and that’s why Kate has two. The other one is Meghan’s!
Also, Kate has the worst case of resting bitch face I’ve ever seen.
Her skin is so bad. I can’t believe she’s younger than me. She’s also never worked a day in her life.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Signed on for the first time in a long time to note for posterity – that eyebrow just a dead ringer of Jack’s in Will and Grace, Season 8, Ep 1 😮 (not to mention Uncle Leo’s in Season 8, Ep 5, ‘The Package’ ep of Seinfeld)…
