No one would ever try to separate the Duchess from her obviously loved parents and siblings.
but does anyone have a photo of the bride?
Fun fact: her older sister Lady Sarah McCorquodale also goes by one of her middle names. (Why are we Americans- me, anyway- who are all just plain Mr. or Mrs. (even the President) so fascinated with these complicated British titles? Furthermore, we all have a pair of shoes in our closets that are our “go to” pair. She married Neil McCorquodale, a … Or would you reach for something appropriate already hanging in your closet.The bride is a close cousin of William – She and her mother (Sarah McCorquodale) know Kate very well and are good friends – They sat with Kate at the ceremony when William was awarded his wings as RAF helicopter pilot 2 years agoI like the dress with the coat, and the hat is ok but the right shade of green, blue or even black with shoes to match might have struck a sharper note.A hem which droops below the coat is tacky, sloppy and unnecessary.I could fall asleep looking at this outfit.
it was her day.As long as she ‘recycles’ her clothes, I’m content.
Celia, the daughter of Lady Sarah McCorquodale, Diana's oldest sister, married George Woodhouse in a country affair in Stoke Rochford, Lincolnshire. The diamond in kate’s earrings are embedded, not badly glued and union with the pearl has another form.
And Prince William likes the Middletons and likes spending time with them, he has made that abundantly clear.
Is it really that cold in the UK?
All of us, no matter what our personal wealth, would naturally mix and match good selections as a matter of course.If Kate were attending the Oscars, a Royal function, or the Nobel Prize Award dinner, I could understand some intense critical scrutiny, and I would expect her to lean towards more one-night, “disposable” fashion.But she is attending a friend’s wedding–and she is not supposed to be the star.
But if it did, some people would say it’s too “matchy-matchy”. I’ll never know.”Only four years apart from Diana in age to McCorquodale’s six, Diana’s sister Lady Jane Fellowes married into the royal establishment before Diana did. Would love to see a picture of the bride and groom. During the summer of 1980, when Charles and Diana were first seeing each other, Fellowes and her husband were set to head up to Balmoral, the Queen’s Scottish home, for a quick getaway. I think that the jewelry artist is copying Kate’s jewelry and is claiming that Kate bought “(his/her) earrings”.A link to the pictures, you have to scroll down the page a bit:***I know that the person who runs this website has stated that Kate’s earrings are the “replikates”, but I’m not convinced!
Sounds like Kate and William’s friends keep getting married. (Whenever comparing Kate to other women around her at any event- she always looks more elegant and better dressed, even if her clothes aren’t necessarily more expensive.
and the material and color of the hat remind me of a tie on a Summer bouquet..but it is when I think of the occasion, and the people involved (the bride an extended family member- recently having “overcome a challenge in her young life”) that the ‘rightness’ of the outfit comes into focus.
Having said that- she looks beautiful either way!Totally agree with you—as much as I love Kate, and most of her outfits, this doesn’t work for me. Notice that she’s wearing a different hat, a veiled hat that she wore to the service.
Happy 91st! However, dressing for a private event is different from dressing for official dos like the Jubilee events.
I liked the combination of neutral colors, nicely light and summery (even if the weather was not). this link is to an external site that may or may not meet accessibility guidelines.
It’s great to recycle, try to look act “normal” and not outshine a bride with something new, but not to the extent of mismatched hems. The late Queen Mother certainly remained close to HER family members.
I don’t get the matronly comment about her outfitsTo me it almost sounds like the sophisticated Kate has done on purpose to be “not so…put together” when she attends others weddings. I wonder why she couldn’t just wear that first dress and the gray shoes and perhaps buy a new gray hat to freshen the look a little?Or maybe keep the hat, dress, and shoes, but purchase a new coat? She should wear subdued colors like grey or beige when it’s imperative not to outshine the star of the event, like a bride or the Queen.The outfit, once again, is more befitting of an older lady.
