Kate’s War Horse Dress is a Bridal Gown, Upcoming Appointments, Anniversary TV Specials

Hello, and happy almost-weekend. We wanted to share some update and other tidbits, perhaps the most interesting information is Kate and William’s upcoming appearances.

  • This Wednesday, the 25th, the couple will attend the London premiere of African Cats, a documentary about lions and cheetahs on the African savannah. The function is a fundraiser for the Tusk Trust, I don’t know the specific time yet, but it is an evening affair. The event is at the National Film Theater in London, also known as BFI (British Film Institute) Southbank.

“They will honour the two serving British Army teams who raced 900 miles across Antarctica in 2011 and 2012 to pay homage to the extraordinary race to the South Pole between Captain Scott and Roald Amundsen a century ago.

The expedition raised funds for the British Legion’s £30 million commitment to help wounded and sick service people recover.

  • Also on Thursday the 26th, Kate and William attend a reception at the Imperial War Museum. This event also honors an anniversary, the Museum is debuting its Centenary Commemorations. More from the IWM’s website:

“2014-2018 marks the centenary of the First World War, a landmark anniversary for Britain and the world. Working in collaboration with our peers and colleagues from national and international organisations, IWM will mark the centenary by leading a vibrant four-year programme of cultural activities across the UK.”

A busy schedule for the couple, the royal calendar becomes even more crowded as the Queen’s Jubilee approaches.

Last week we shared the first three pairs of William and Kate wax figures at varying Madame Tussauds, this week saw the unveiling of the fourth and final pair at Madame Tussauds Blackpool. This is the pair showcasing Kate’s Jenny Packham dress worn to the ARK gala last June.

New York Bridal Week wrapped up over the weekend, several of Kate’s favorite designers showed their collections, including Jenny Packham. Below, Ms. Packham’s Marigold gown.

I love that they're doing that! And wow Kate looks so toned in that picture. Both of them are just so likeable :)

Kate was in the Berkshire Ralph Lauren store today, I believe she purchased the Darwin, Aveline and Daphe dresses. Please credit Susan S. if you use this info. Here are the three dresses:

That's amazing, i didn't know she just went to a shop (let alone an outlet) and chose a gala dress for her events, in which the whole world was going to see her! I love how down to earth she is, even though she seems inaccesible she still keeps her life simple, like by shopping for her clothes (even gala ones) on her own, with no stylist around, or shopping at tesco on her own, etc. Well done for Kate. I can't wait to see her this week!

I love all three but especially like the white coat dress. So classic. Wonder if we'll see the evening gown this week? Thanks for posting the links.

Before I forget: Zara is offering its little jacket with the zipper at the waist, worn by the Duchess in dark blue last year, in yellow. Yellow is not my color, so I won't be buying this, but some people might be interested:

Yes, I agree. The black version is lot sleeker and sharper. Yellow is nice, too. I might consider it or maybe not. :)

The new Jenny Packham gowns are absolutely beautiful and I believe Kate could wear even the backless one without being too risque. Customize it with the back just a little higher and she'd look lovely. I didn't like the "War Horse" gown but after seeing it in white, I've decided I like the black better. Just waiting for their next appearance, and thanks for the listing of the anniversary specials. My DVR will be busy!

I think I like the War Horse dress a LOT more as a wedding dress. The black version looks too funereal to me, but I think the same translates very well as a wedding dress.

I can't wait for the official engagements! It's been so long since their last appearances.
