We are back with a couple of quick follow-ups, our look at some inventory updates/Sales & Savings opportunities, and then some Memorial Day photos.
We’ll start with the Erdem dress worn by Kate to the Chelsea Flower Show preview.
We are back for a couple of quick newsbytes. We’ll start with an update to Kate’s Calendar:
Below, the Duke and Duchess at ANZAC Day services in 2014; on the left, at the national service, and on the right, at the dawn service. Both events were at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.
Hello-hello, and welcome to our annual post-Thanksgiving Sales and Savings post. We have news of upcoming engagements first though, including some travel for the Duke and Duchess to the Mediterranean.
Their Royal Highnesses knew the Club’s Chairman, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, and wanted to visit the city to recognise the warmth and compassion that the people of Leicester and fans of Leicester City Football Club have shown in reaction to the accident.
You can read the entire news release here.
There are two more engagements to announce for the following week; both intended to “…deliver a message of support to deployed personnel and to acknowledge the fact that many Serving personnel are away from their families at this time of the year.”
An unannounced engagement we are likely to see sometime in the first week of the month, the annual Diplomatic Reception at Buckingham Palace. Generally held on the second Tuesday of December, the event has been moved to accommodate scheduling conflicts. But it is one we always watch for, as the dress code is white- tie and tiaras are worn. Below, the Duchess in 2013, 2015, 2016 and last year.
We are back with another Q & A plus a quick look at the end of summer Sales and Savings opportunities.
Today’s question: does Kate have a professional stylist? This is one that I often hear; we’re all interested in how decisions are made regarding the clothing and accessories Kate wears on any given day. There is also interest in the basic logistics for creating a royal wardrobe: how pieces are found and then ordered; when, and by whom, are requests made for sketches and fabric samples; how are meetings with designers or their staffs handled? Do they always come to Kensington Palace, or does Kate travel to a designer’s studio? We’ll cover a few of those questions, but they are really ideal for a separate post.
Today we will primarily focus on the stylist element. It is widely believed that Natasha Archer is Kate’s stylist. Many of you will recognize her; here she is seen as the royal entourage arrived in Victoria, Canada last September for the Canada tour.
