I wasn't too sure about the jacket but it has such a nice color and looks so good on her, I thought why not? I was completely shocked by the price; it looked like something from The Gap or other low-cost outlet. However, we know she will be able to wear it forever, and it looks perfect for home use, in the garden, running errands, doing stuff with the kids.

The Cambridge approach is less formal and genuinely quite relatable and brings a balance that is important going forward. However, you are also right that there will be other occasions where the formal and traditional aspects will take place and be recognized and honored. Also, I believe that William and Catherine's approach and focus on their charities and areas of interest also touches the lives of all people, regardless of ethnicity, social status, or financial categories, i.e. early childhood years, mental health, and the environment. If the pandemic taught us anything, it showed us that there was no discrimination and that we are truly all members of the same human race who are fighting the same demons at times, and our unity is what is our best weapon.

Wish these jeans were not so high wasted (it looks uncomfortable to me, if you know what i mean) and i wish the jeans were about 3 inches longer. I am on the fence about this jacket, it looks way better on her than it does on the model. the contrast ribbing on the wrist is interesting and it looks better on then alone in the photo. it is a good color for her but would have a hard time paying that price for that garment. <br /><br />Writing before i read so will be interested to hear others thoughts on fashion today.

She immediately puts the children at their ease by sitting on the ground and listening so intently with them. Its great that all the previous royal rules are being discarded. <br />Eg.there is no formal dress with prescribed hem length, no hat or gloves or handbag and no cripplingly high shoes. I can't imagine in a hundred years the Queen sitting cross legged on the ground and looking so much at ease with the children. I love our monarch but things have to change if the monarchy is to survive. Catherine and William are breaking through the stiff formality and this is vitally important for their future. I am sure that on some occasions we will see the more formal outfits, uniforms and beautiful dresses with decorations and tiaras, but it is important to stress that they are down to earth people who can relate to the ordinary public.

I used to live across the street from that museum - many, many years ago - and would have been thrilled to be able to walk over and explore those gardens. <br /><br />Re: Kate’s outfit today. When I saw the initial photo, I wondered why she was being so, so casual in a visit to a museum but given the activity, the jeans and trainers make sense. The jacket is 1,700GBP? I never begrudge Kate her fabulous wardrobe budget, and It’s not so much that I don’t care for the design or color (both are fine), but it boggles my mind that anyone would spend that much money on an item of clothing like that.
