After attending both ANZAC Day services in Canberra it was time to head for the airport and home. The Duchess had young Prince George well in hand.

    Hello, thank you so much for the tour coverage, it has been wonderful.
    I do have a quick question regarding Kate’s navy suede pumps. Does she also own a Prada pair, or are these the same one now identified as Alexander McQueen?
    Thank you so much!

    George is precious. I can’t get over His Royal Dourness. Kate was, of course, gorgeous at every turn. Even her flops were stunning. I can’t wait for more.

    Could you summarize her shoes, handbags, coats, pants, and dresses? I think it would be neat to see how she’s coordinated the same pieces with various outfits so as to use what she already has, etc

    Reading WKW has been such an enjoyable experience on this Royal Tour. Thank you!

    I read the other day that the Duke and Duchess will be taking on extra duties in the coming months, so more outfits to look forward to. But at least there’ll be a break for Susan to have a well-earned rest πŸ™‚

    I just love Kate’s coat. It’s my favourite piece – that and the ‘banana’ dress. What intrigues me about the coat is the lapels and the direction of the stripes. Am I being unreasonable in supposing they would look better if balanced? Maybe I’ve been looking at clothes too much and need to return to ‘normal’ life? πŸ˜€

    Thank you for your hard work and the amazing coverage of this trip. It was fun coming to this site every morning to see what the Duchess was wearing. Just excellent all around. I hope you can get some rest for a few days as I’m sure the Duke and Duchess will be doing. I’m still guessing they won’t be at that wedding in Nashville next weekend (or was it this weekend?) but you never know.

    In the “what is he looking at” photo, he is looking at his father. It’s clear in the photo just prior to it.
    Prince George especially looks like Michael Middleton there.

    The duchess should be wearing British designers (or designers from the country she is visiting). The British royal family really represents “brand Britain”, and should do that with their clothing. There is so much beautiful British clothing. I don’t remember seeing Diana wearing foreign designers when she was “on duty”. Kate should follow Diana’s example. I’m American, but I don’t love seeing Kate in American-designed clothing. Just doesn’t seem right.

      I have to disagree even though I respect your opinion. A lot of the duchess outfits on this tour have been from British designers and she has also worn 3 local designers (dress, clutch and hat) so she has shown her respect representing her country and the visiting counties. I don’t see why she shouldn’t be allowed to also wear other designers while making official appearances, taking into consideration she will be in the public eye for decades to come. I understand the citizens of New Zealand and Australia were wishing she has worn more local designers but the fact she didn’t doesn’t make less less respectful of the visiting counties. Finally, I don’t see why she should be following Diana’s footsteps in that respect, she should follow her own (as much as the protocol allows her). Nonetheless, your are entitled to your option and as I said I respect that. I’m simply expressing mine.

        Agreed. I think Kate has been doing a pretty good job at being as “Bristish” as possible in every occasion. I think part of the reason people tirelessly compare Kate with Diana is because their role in the royal family. Undoubtably Lady Diana has created an unforgettable image on many generations and yes she shouldn’t be forgotten. However tt’s time for the young Duke and Duchess to build something with their own names. πŸ™‚ At same time, I don’t expect people will stop comparing them side by side. That’s just how things are. I can’t do anything about it. LOL

          Catherine needs to find her own way as wife of the future king, and surely she needs to be as comfortable as possible while in the public eye. In my opinion she’s nothing like Diana, and I can see no reason why she should do as Diana did. They are two very different, distinct individuals.

          I can’t imagine Diana would ever have worn a Β£35 Hobbs dress – at least, I don’t remember she wore anything from a High Street store while on tour πŸ™‚ I don’t remember her recycling her clothes either.

          As for what Catherine ‘should’ do – I don’t see why there’s any ‘should’ about her clothing. What Catherine wears is completely up to her (although the Queen might have some input). It’s her life and her choices, whether or not she is a public figure.

          She will make mistakes – that is, what she considers are mistakes and not necessarily what we think are mistakes – and will modify her choices accordingly. Personally, I think she’s doing great.

      Totally disagree with you. The Duchess should wear what she feels good wearing and that is what she did. Saying she should “follow Diana” is just ridiculous. Diana has been dead for 16 years; no one needs to follow her. Besides, Diana wore plenty of non-Brit designs, especially Versace.

        I do think it is important for the Duchess to showcase the national fashion industry when on public duty and it’s also diplomatic to pay tribute to the country visited but I think by and large she did that. There were a few American designers thrown in but the big occasions were mostly UK big hitters like McQueen. As others have pointed out Diana wore quite a lot of non British designs especially in her later years.

    I love this coat and the hat she wore with it earlier that day. Blue is definitely my favorite color on the Duchess.

    Squirmy George looks like he is certainly full of personality. πŸ™‚ I’m excited to watch him grow up.

    in the Sydney morning herald photos you can see that Tony Abbott is trying so hard to interact with the baby and George is clearly terrified of him. hehe!
