Duchess Kate wears light blue maternity coat for three appearances in Kensington
Huzzah, Kate isn’t in mourning! Kate Middleton put on her big girl panties and finally stepped out of her non-maternity mourning clothes for three engagements in Kensington today, January 19. Kate visited the charity Family Friends for a coffee morning (BTW I’m so used to typing “mourning” that I typed that first and had to […]
Duchess Kate repeats brown Hobbs for Fostering Network visit
I honestly don’t think we’re going to see Kate Middleton in a bright color again until she steps out of that hospital with Baby Cambridge 2 – she’ll wearing red of course. Kate stuck to her mourning palate wearing a brown repeated Hobbs dress for a Fostering Network visit in Islington, London today, January 16. […]
Duchess Kate still in mourning clothes at Art Room opening (updated)
Kate Middleton made her first appearance of 2015 today, January 15, as she officially named The Clore Art Room at Barlby School in West London.

Duchess Kate doubles her engagements in 2014, but is still the least active senior royal
The annual tabulation of the British Royal Family’s engagement numbers by Tim O’Donovan has been released… and I’m super confused.
