Kate & William’s First Official Engagement Ten Years Ago Today

Posted by admin

Hello and welcome to a Wednesday! Today we have a look back at what Kate wore ten years ago for her first official engagement, but first, an update on Prince Philip via a Buckingham Palace statement released yesterday. 

The Duke of Edinburgh remains at King Edward VII’s hospital where he is receiving medical attention for an infection. He is comfortable and responding to treatment but is not expected to leave hospital for several days. 

The Duke is seen below with HM in November as they looked at a 73rd-anniversary card made by Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

The 99-year-old Prince was admitted to King Edward VII hospital in London last Tuesday as a “precautionary measure.”  More from The Guardian’s story: 

Philip travelled to the hospital by car, and walked in unaided. Prince William, asked about his grandfather on Monday, said: “He’s OK. They’re keeping an eye on him,” and he gave a wink.

Here you see Prince William on Monday when he visited a vaccination center. 

Prince Edward also spoke about the Duke’s condition in an interview with Sky News.  We return to The Guardian’s coverage: 

On Tuesday, the Earl of Wessex said of his father in an interview with Sky News: “He’s a lot better, thank you very much indeed, and he’s looking forward to getting out, which is the most positive thing so we keep our fingers crossed.”

Asked whether Philip was frustrated to be in hospital, Edward laughed and replied: “Just a bit. I think that gets to all of us, and then, you can only watch the clock so many times and the walls are only so interesting.”

Prince Charles visited his father on Saturday. Hopefully, the Duke will be out of the hospital and back at Windsor Castle before too long. 

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Now to the topic of the first engagement Prince William and then-Kate Middleton undertook following the announcement of their engagement in November 2010.

Our First Year in Review Poll & A Fashion Flashback

NOTE: This was originally scheduled for publication on Wednesday.  Clearly, that would not have been appropriate and yesterday still felt raw, like an open wound.  I struggled with posting it today because we remain in such an unsettled situation.  I am doing so in part because of past comments about the merits of ‘distraction’ from the continued turmoil. 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I am back with a couple of news updates and then the first of our annual polls on what Kate wore last year. Today we’ll look at the new coats worn last year by the Duchess.  But first, the news updates: 

  • England has started a new lockdown phase. The Cambridge family will remain at their Anmer Hall country home where they have been for the last several weeks. Normally the family would have returned to London at this point and George and Charlotte would have headed back to school at Thomas’s Battersea.  It’s also likely an announcement would have been made about Prince Louis starting nursery school. The restrictions are expected to be in place until at least mid-February, so it is back to homeschooling for George and Charlotte.   
  • Earlier this week Buckingham Palace announced that this year’s garden parties in London and Edinburgh have been canceled.  The Telegraph reports: “Deadlines were approaching for contractors and work would soon have had to begin on drawing up guest lists for the 30,000 or so people who attend annually.”    
  • At this point Trooping the Colour is still on the books.  This is not an event that involves enormous catering issues, among other things, so making a decision about holding the event can be delayed. 

Now for our overview of the new coats worn by the Duchess in 2020. The year in coats began with a delightful new Roksanda Ilincic design worn in early January when the Duke and Duchess attended church.

A post shared by Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (@kensingtonroyal)

The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall posted a message on social media: “Wishing you all a happy Christmas and here’s to a better New Year!”

The Queen’s annual Christmas message also struck a different tone this year, as HM told viewers, “you are not alone.”
