Well, talk about the Christmas repeats! Kate chose the second coat she wore Christmas day, but she nixed the hat and wore her tall black Aquatalias instead of the heels. This dress is super familar, and I thought perhaps I had seen it under her coat on Christmas, but after searching through the old posts, I think it might be the dress she wore on the UNICEF visit. And I have no idea where she got it. Sorry. :) I have to say, I love her boots, as you know, but this coat is just long enough, that I think I prefer the plain heels with it.
Otherwise, she looked stunning as she flew solo on today's engagements in Newcastle. William, as I mentioned in yesterday's post, was at the funeral of his former nanny, along with Princess Diana's sisters.
Is it because we have "modernized" or because we knew Kate as plain Kate for so many years, but calling her Princess Kate or Duchess Kate just seems odd. I waited to see which the media would settle on, Princess or Duchess, but it seems she has stayed plain Kate. I am going to make it a point to refer to her as Princess Kate. This is not an invitation to begin an in depth argument on protocol and names. Kate, as the spouse of a prince, is a princess in my mind. If you want to toss out tradition and fairytales, go rain on someone else's parade. In other news, I need this hair. I really do.
This cheeky lad got a hug from Kate. You can see she is good with the boys.
Kate told people at this community garden that she grows her own potatoes. Unfortunately, this year her crop wasn't so great--she said they were all pretty small. I know a French man whose showed me his potatoes this year and he also complained they weren't that good this season. Maybe it isn't just Kate...
