As everyone predicted, the Windsors just had to do something to ?get attention? while Prince Harry is in London, testifying about the unholy alliance between tabloid media and royalty. Since King Charles is conveniently out of the country (he?s in Romania) and Queen Camilla is getting sauced at Ray Mill this week, the Princess of Wales was sent out to flap her jazz hands in an off-kilter wig. Of course!
Kate stopped by the Windsor Family Hub today, although the photo agency dated the pics for the 5th (curious). Kate and William have been on vacation, because of their kids? school break. William did stop by a football match a few days ago, so I guess it was Kate?s turn to ?do some work? during her vacation. Weirdly, I could have sworn that Will and Kate were in Norfolk this whole time, but the Windsor Family Hub is just a stone?s throw away from Windsor Castle. Hm.
Kate?s ensemble consisted of a Zara blazer which retails for 73 and Emmy London shoes retailing for 405. People assume that we?ve seen those pants and the white tee before. I actually think the ensemble and the event feel hastily thrown together, like she was only ordered, one hour beforehand, to show up somewhere and look keen. I suspect that the palace held Princess Eugenies baby announcement for Monday as well. These people are utterly transparent.

Many have theorized correctly, I believe that the Windsors are doing so many ?secret? and ?unannounced? events these days because they?re terrified of being protested. In the lead-up to the coronation, every single time King Charles stepped outside, Republic staged a protest near his events, and those protests kept getting bigger and louder. Even the so-called ?most popular royals,? Prince William and Kate, have gotten heckled by protesters, although it?s nowhere near the level directed at Charles and Camilla. Well, during her events yesterday, the Princess of Wales had to dodge some protesters. By my count, fewer than a dozen people were out, holding signs and yelling. But it?s a significant shift has Kate ever been protested by republicans while doing solo events?
A protestor couldn?t shake Kate Middleton?s focus during her latest royal duty.

Here are some photos from January 2022, when Prince William and Kate visited the Foundling Museum. Kate has another visit to the museum scheduled for today, and we?ll post those photos when we get them. Her visit today will coincide with a statement made to encourage people to donate to the museum?s latest fundraising drive. While Kate should absolutely do stuff like this more often attach her name to a fundraiser so that a cause or group gets more attention wait until you pick up on the fact that Kate and William supposedly have a huge foundation and it doesn?t sound like they?re donating anything.
Kate Middleton is appealing for help for a favorite charity dedicated to young people. The Princess of Wales, 41, says she wants to help secure the ?long-term future? of the Foundling Museum, which supports people who have been in care and develops groundbreaking work in the early years sector.
The organization wants to secure the museum?s home and custodianship of the Foundling Hospital Collection for the next 999 years and needs around $1.2 million. Princess Kate, who is patron of the center, said in a statement released Wednesday that the Foundling Museum has delivered pioneering creative ?programs and life-changing support to families and young people for over twenty years.?
?Their ground-breaking work to support each care-experienced young person to fundamentally change the future direction of their lives is one that means the world to me. Importantly, it shows that it is never too late to make a difference, and that by providing the right support, we can enable those who have faced real difficulties to overcome their challenges and achieve their goals,? the royal mom said.
?The Museum?s work opens the door to new opportunities for vulnerable children and young people, connecting them with artists and developing skills which they can take into their adult lives. By helping them to undertake this journey, we can create positive, lasting change that benefits our society as a whole,? she added.
?Just as the Museum has helped so many people, I hope that we can come together to do what we can to help protect the long-term future of this wonderful organization. I am grateful to all those who have already shown their support for the Foundling Museum and I sincerely wish that its vital work can continue for decades to come,? Kate concluded.
The Foundling Museum needs $1.2 million (1 million) to reach its target of $5.7 million (4.6 million) in its fundraising effort. Organizers have closed in on the goal via donations from 20 foundations and are now turning to the public element of the pitch.
The patronage unites two of Princess Kate?s passions ? working to help young people and their carers while also highlighting the role that art can play in therapy and support. The Foundling Hospital Collection includes masterpieces donated by the leading artists of the 18th century, like Hogarth, Gainsborough and Reynolds.

For years now, we?ve heard that the Royal Foundation is raising all of this money from big donors, that they got their hands on various charities? donor lists and they?re using those lists to build their own charitable war chest. While I understand that the Royal Foundation can?t single-handed fund all of the causes near and dear to W&K, it does look extraordinarily cheap that Kate is making this ?urgent appeal? for funds? all while sitting on all of that foundation money. Nevermind the fact that she?s constantly blowing thousands of pounds on ugly couture, busted wiglets and copykeening whatever Meghan wore.

Last summer, the Princess of Wales hired photographer Matt Porteous to Norfolk to take family photos. I don?t know how long Porteous stayed there, but it was long enough to shoot their summery, denim-clad Christmas card, their anniversary photo and several of the kids? birthday photos. Kensington Palace has been parceling out those photos for the past year. And here?s another one from the 2022 Porteous Photoshoot, one would assume: Kate in her beekeeper?s outfit, playing with bees in Sandringham. Queen Bee Kate loves bees, don?t you know.
Kate Middleton is giving royal fans something to buzz about! The Princess of Wales, 41, skillfully handles bees in a new picture released by her office on Saturday.
The photo, which was taken by one of Princess Kate and husband Prince Williams favorite photographers, Matt Porteous, last summer, highlights World Bee Day and the royals own contribution to creating conditions for the insects to thrive.
The image was also shared on The Prince and Princess of Wales official Instagram account, with a caption that began, We are buzzing about #WorldBeeDay .
Bees are a vital part of our ecosystem and today is a great opportunity to raise awareness of the essential role bees and other pollinators play in keeping people and the planet healthy, the caption concluded.
[From People]
In June 2021, Kate debuted the ?keen beekeeper? persona and it?s been a while since she dusted it off. That 2021 incident was when she visited the Natural History Museum and she brought ?her? honey, the honey she jars from her Norfolk beehive. I wondered at the time if Kate was just taking credit for the larger beekeeping projects at various royal properties. King Charles is bee-obsessed and the Sandringham Estate sells its own branded honey, from the beehives on the estate. So? is Kate in charge of the Sandringham beehives or does she just have some of her own personal-use beehives in Norfolk? We still don?t know! The only thing I know for sure is that Kate is absolutely NOT the queen bee of Norfolk society. Say hello to Queen Bee Rose Hanbury.

I generally don?t put a lot of faith in Marca, the Spanish tabloid which covers European royals and celebrities. They have some good gossip about Spanish celebrities, for sure, and I appreciate the fact that they?re stirring up gossip about the British royals, but y?all can?t take ALL of their reporting seriously! Back in February, Marca breezily reported that Prince William spent Valentine?s Day with Rose Hanbury and they had an intimate dinner together in London. Which? the British media covers up William?s crap for the most part, but I doubt the entire British establishment would cover it up if William was flaunting his affair(s) so publicly. Meanwhile, Marca reports this week that William is being emotionally and verbally abusive to Kate. This is kind of the first time anyone has printed that.
Insiders within the royal family have been divulging a lot of controversial information lately, and now a staff member has come forward with some truly shocking allegations. This person claims that Kate Middleton has been subjected to emotional and verbal abuse by her husband, Prince William. This revelation has caused quite a stir among royal watchers and the public alike.
The staff member, who has chosen to remain anonymous, has been working closely with the royal family and therefore has firsthand knowledge of the situation. According to the source, the alleged mistreatment has taken a toll on Kate Middletons mental health, leaving her struggling to cope with the constant pressures of her royal duties and the challenges of maintaining a harmonious marriage.
Kates really been through the wringer lately, the source shared. The way William treats her is just awful, and its been really hard on her. Shes such a strong person, but even she has her breaking point.
These allegations are incredibly concerning, especially given Kate Middletons well-known work ethic and dedication to her royal duties. If the claims are true, there are serious implications for her ability to continue fulfilling her responsibilities.
[From Marca]
In the 24 hours following the Guardian?s excerpt of Prince Harry?s Spare, the part when Harry described William cornering him in Harry?s home and then violently throwing Harry to the ground, I?ll never forget how quickly thousands of royal-watchers went straight to ?what does William do to Kate behind-the-scenes.? I don?t know what happens between William and Kate, all I know is how Harry described his brother?s actions, behavior and words. I also know that everyone around William has said for years that he has a terrible temper and that he?s constantly incandescent with rage as his default emotion. It would absolutely be believable to me that William is the same way when he?s with his wife and children.

Gotta love the fact that when Prince William and Kate do events together, the bulk of the photos are just glamour shots of Kate?s wig of doom. So it was today, when the Prince and Princess of Wales traveled to South Wales ahead of St. David?s Day, a Welsh holiday celebrated on March 1st. To celebrate, Kate slapped on a wig and wore a new ensemble: a black-and-white skirt by Zara, a bespoke McQueen coat, Gianvito Rossi boots and a black Mulberry purse. She topped it off with earrings by Heavenly London. I?m shocked she didn?t theme-dress, or maybe she did and I?m just not getting it. I actually kind of like some of these pieces, but not all together?
Kate Middleton and Prince William are gearing up for their first St. Davids Day as the Prince and Princess of Wales.
The royal couple visited South Wales on Tuesday ahead of the countrys national day on Wednesday: the feast day for St. David, Wales patron saint. Their first stop of the day was to the Brynawel Rehabilitation Centre, where the Prince and Princess of Wales saw a special initiative that will help create an outdoor space for growing vegetables and encourage better mental health in those struggling with the effects of drug and alcohol addiction. Their Royal Foundation is supporting social enterprise Life at No. 27 to help the organization scale up its plan for therapy gardens that aid well-being.
The new garden will include a collection of allotments for people to have their own space to learn and grow their own produce. It will sit alongside a communal sensory and herbal garden, a mud kitchen and an interactive learning space.
Amanda Berry, Chief Executive Officer of The Royal Foundation, said in a statement, Their Royal Highnesses are passionate about creating a lasting impact in the communities they visit, playing an instrumental role in bringing together local stakeholders to amplify the work of organizations and ensure support reaches those who need it most.
She added the couple continue to prioritize our societys mental health and spending time in nature is known to have a range of benefits, including reducing depression and anxiety.

Looking through the photos we have at our photo agencies, there are no photos of William. It?s like photographers don?t even care. I suspect Welsh people don?t care either. I doubt either of them have learned the language either. ?Still learning? for these two 40-somethings.

In the Netflix docuseries Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex described how naive she was when she first met Prince Harry?s royal relatives, and how she really didn?t know that she wasn?t supposed to greet Prince William and Kate with a hug. In Spare, Harry noted that he prepared Meghan on how to curtsy and formally greet his grandmother and his father, but he made it sound like he didn?t give her any specific instructions on William and Kate. Perhaps because he hoped they would greet Meghan warmly and match her affectionate, demonstrative nature. That is not what happened.
What?s funny is that after Meghan?s big reveal about how her hugs weren?t really welcomed, tons of royalists sniffed and argued that she should keep her hands to herself and not assume that everyone wants a hug. Instead of simply leaning into that ?Meghan is wrong to hug people? Kensington Palace has gone full-throttle into ?Kate is a hugger too, watch her as she hugs everyone BUT Meghan.? These people do not have the good sense god gave a goose. So, that?s where we are now: performative hugs from Kate, all aimed at ?proving? Meghan wrong and/or copykeening Meghan?s warm, affectionate demeanor. But that?s not all they have to ?explain? why? Kate didn?t want to hug Meghan.
Former Brexit leader Nigel Farage says Kate Middleton didn?t hug Meghan Markle because she sussed her out ?very early on?.
?The whole idea that Kate is this very cold fish, and yet you?ve seen the joy when she met a former schoolteacher of hers, you saw the joy with that wonderful polar explorer,? he told Sky News host Paul Murray.
?The point is, Kate hugs people she likes, which is why she didn?t hug Meghan because she sussed her out very early on ? how wise and how magnificent Kate is.?
[From Sky News]
Ah, yes, it?s no secret what Kate and Nigel Farage ?sussed out? about Meghan right away the fact that she is a Black American woman who ?doesn?t know her place.? All of this is a clear admission that everything Meghan said was correct Kate didn?t want to hug her or be sisterly towards her. Kate was a bitch to Meghan from the word go. Oh, but that?s not all. From Amanda Platell?s column in the Daily Mail:
Adorable pictures of a beaming Princess of Wales embracing her old prep school teacher this week. So much for Harry and Meghan?s snipe at Kate that she?s Ms High And Mighty, a cold fish and not ?a hugger? like Meghan. Maybe Kate just doesn?t like cuddling up to scorpions.
[From The Daily Mail]
How is THIS the argument they?re all going with at the same time? ?Kate hugs people all the time, except for Meghan, because Kate was rude as fk to Meghan as soon as she met her.? And ?scorpion,? really? These people are deranged.

Every few months, there are stories about the Princess of Wales?s newfound keenness and her promise to do more at some point in the future. That?s been the pattern for more than a decade. Alongside the ?promises to be keen? stories, we?re gifted with ?Kate?s updated style? stories every six months or so. It?s like they can?t admit that Kate?s always had terrible style and she?s constantly copying other women?s style (badly). It?s always ?Kate is finally dressing for her new keen vibe!? These stories are the same kind of treading-water go-nowhere busywork of Kate?s Early Years campaign. Besides, I don?t think anyone should be in the business of pointing out how drastically Kate?s style changed the second Harry married Meghan. But here we are.
Kate Middleton is shaking things up when it comes to her style. I think this is her power moment ? shes easing into the Princess of Wales role and that promotion that shes had in such a beautiful way, Bethan Holt, fashion director at the Daily Telegraph tells PEOPLE, adding: Shes got this big new title, and shes dressing for that job.
Not only did Kate, 41, move up the family hierarchy by becoming the Princess of Wales after Queen Elizabeth died in September, but last month saw the royal mom launch her Shaping Us initiative, an awareness campaign on the importance of early childhood, which resulted in a flurry of fashion-forward outfits in quick succession. The most glamorous ensemble was a scarlet red Alexander McQueen pantsuit that Kate wore to a pre-campaign launch event at BAFTA headquarters in London on Jan. 30.
Weve seen her do tailoring before but what I really loved about the red suit was that she was wearing it to an evening event, says Holt. I loved seeing that kind of spicy experimentation, it almost had a slight Studio 54 vibe to it. She was wearing that suit for the launch of an initiative that is her passion project ? red is the color of passion, it was a big moment on her CV.?
It was all about her, and I think thats such a telling gesture from William that he was happy for her to take center stage and share the limelight with her, rather than the other way round, says Holt.
Tailored pants have been a go-to for Kate in recent months, a departure from the fit-and-flare feminine dresses the royal was once so closely associated with. Its a shift that fashion insiders have noted and applauded.
I think whats really interesting is how its taken quite a serious slant. Theres a lot of very polished tailoring, and its a very sleek silhouette ? I really think it marks a new era in her royal life, says Holt. While the style shift may be subtle, the messages behind her new look couldnt be stronger.
She might not be able to say to us, Look, my life is now completely different ? my husband and I are one step closer to the biggest job of our lives, but she is saying all of that through her fashion choices, says Holt. Kate has this platform, and she is out there on her own, nailing it.
[From People]
Jesus, what is this woman smoking? ?She is out there on her own, nailing it.? Ah, yes Kate is on her own, with only a humble closet full of wigs, button-slathered ensembles, ruffled Alessandra Rich monstrosities, a full glam squad and a Meghan mood-board. While I acknowledge that Kate?s style silhouette has changed a lot over the past five years, it?s glaringly and creepily obvious that Kate has found a crazy amount of inspiration from the sister-in-law she considers her nemesis.
?Tailored pants have been a go-to for Kate in recent months, a departure from the fit-and-flare feminine dresses the royal was once so closely associated with?? Kate?s fashion history is a lot more tortured than they?re describing Kate used to copykeen QEII, she used to copykeen Jecca Craig, and as always, she was obsessed with copying Diana?s old looks too. There is so much Diana-inspo ?80s style stuff in her closet. Then she went through a childish ruffles/Mary Quant phase, and who can forget her Sister Wife prairie dress phase? These days, it?s all about the Meghan mood-board though.

Prince William has been honorary president of BAFTA since 2010. Since 2010, he?s skipped the BAFTA ceremony seven times. William hasn?t been to the BAFTAs since 2020. To be fair, I think he was scheduled to go in 2021, but he pulled out at the last minute because of Prince Philip?s passing. Last year, William skipped the ceremony for no reason at all he didn?t have a schedule conflict, he wasn?t jet-lagged from a recent vacation, nothing. He just skipped because he?s lazy as fk. Well, good news, I guess. William and Kate will attend next Sunday?s BAFTA ceremony.
Kensington Palace has confirmed that Prince William and Kate Middleton will attend the BAFTA awards on Feb. 19 after skipping the ceremony for two consecutive years. William, the president of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, hasn?t attended the film awards since 2020.
William and Kate understandably missed the April 2021 ceremony due to the death of Prince Philip the day before. Last year, however, they were also absent from the ceremony. A BAFTA spokesperson told Variety at the time that this was due to ?diary constraints.?
The couple?s absence is normally conspicuous as they tend to occupy the front-row ground level seats at Royal Albert Hall. Their attendance usually adds an extra layer of logistical considerations and, some might argue, glamour to the festivities.
At this year?s awards ? which have relocated from Royal Albert Hall to the Royal Festival Hall in Southbank ? the Prince and Princess of Wales, as they are now called, will watch the ceremony, and then go backstage to meet with the winners and the EE Rising Star Award nominees.
Variety understands that the couple?s attendance at the awards has only been confirmed in recent days. A strict royal rota is likely to be in place, meaning William and Kate will only engage with a select group of journalists on the ground. The couple have made a number of public appearances in the new year, but they have yet to address any of Prince Harry?s bombshell accusations in his memoir ?Spare,? which was published in early January.
[From Variety]
LMAO: ?Their attendance usually adds an extra layer of logistical considerations and, some might argue, glamour to the festivities.? SOME MIGHT ARGUE. Not Variety. Not the film industry. But *some* people might argue that Kate?s buttons, jazz hands and gurning add some glamour, not to mention William?s glamorous constipation-face. Let me look up the host of this year?s BAFTAs? oh, it?s Richard E. Grant. He?s something of a royalist, isn?t he? Perhaps that?s the key last year?s host was Rebel Wilson, and my theory was that William didn?t want to be roasted by Rebel. Richard Grant will probably eschew all royal jokes, or all jokes about William, in any case. Oh, but wait Alison Hammond is co-host? Ruh-roh. Maybe it will get interesting after all.

Here are more photos from the Prince and Princess of Wales?s trip to Cornwall on Thursday, plus some additional photos of Kate?s event on Wednesday, when she got to hang out with Captain Preet Chandi. For a while, it seemed like William and Kate were going to do more separate events, but the day in Cornwall was their third joint-appearance in less than two weeks. William was with her when she launched Shaping Us at BAFTA, and they went to the Windsor foodbank together on January 26th. Is this a new era of William and Kate being able to do events together without looking like they?re disgusted with one another? Perhaps. According to People Magazine?s cover story, Kate is as tough as they come and she?s a real asset for William. Her people always say that.
Kate Middleton is moving forward following the release of Prince Harrys memoir, Spare. While the Princess of Wales has stayed silent on her brother-in-laws bombshell book, which portrayed her as cold towards him and Meghan Markle, she is no shrinking violet, a family friend tells PEOPLE in this weeks cover story.
She is a tough woman. It is wonderful that William has Kate by his side to rely on, as she is a real stalwart through this, the friend says.
Another friend tells PEOPLE, So much has been said that at this stage, I think they just want to move on. The whole situation is very sad, but its business as usual, and shes getting on with the job because thats what she does.
Behind the scenes, discussions are underway onhow to work out a reconciliation between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the royal family. Theres fatigue at the consequences of the brothers estrangement, as one insider puts it, and recognition that something ? or someone ? must bridge the divide.
[From People]
I guess it?s much too late for the Keen Peacemaker narrative to rise again. Kate?s done with keen-peacemaking, everyone, shes not going to solve her husbands beef with Harry. Her new narrative is ?Kate is moving on by winning the imaginary battle in her head against her nemesis Meghan!? Kind of crazy how Ol Stalwart wants credit for being tough when she also wants sympathy for Meghan sympathetically referencing her Baby Brain. Also: it continues to fascinate me to watch how Kate and William?s separate PR strategies diverge. Kate tells people that she?s indispensable, that she?s the only one who can soothe her intemperate, rage-filled, childish husband, that she?s his best asset. William?s PR is that Kate is fine, she raises the children and she doesn?t embarrass him too much. Anyway, we must allow Kate to get on with the job of copykeening her nemesis. Oh wait, it?s time for Kate to disappear for a month, whoopsie.
