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.

New Engagements, the 2015 Alexander McQueen Coat Like Kate’s (Mostly)

We are back with several updates, starting with two new engagements for the Duke and Duchess in Wales this weekend.

  • Saturday, Nov. 8: Kate and William visit the Valero Pembroke oil refinery located in southwest Wales
  • Saturday, Nov. 8: Kate and William will attend the rugby match between Wales and Australia at Millenium Stadium.  The match begins at 2:30pm local time, that is 9:30am ET. Prince William is Vice Patron of the Welsh Rugby Union; the Queen is the organization’s Patron.  Majesty Magazine reports the Duke and Duchess will “observe the Remembrance Tribute at the start of the match, and privately meet injured servicemen in the President’s Box during half-time.”

Additionally, this Sunday is Remembrance Sunday, always an important date in the royal calendar. This year holds special significance as the Centenary of WWI is being commemorated. We don’t yet know if Kate will attend the National Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph, but I expect she will watch the ceremony as she has in previous years. More on the event from the Royal British Legion:

“Remembrance Sunday, the second Sunday in November, is the day traditionally put aside to remember all those who have given their lives for the peace and freedom we enjoy today. On this day people across the nation pause to reflect on the sacrifices made by our brave Service men and women.

As always, the observance begins with two minutes of silence at 11am BT, 6am ET/3am PT.

Next, a quick look at a piece in today’s Daily Mail critiquing the colors Kate wears. It’s an interesting story, one that has stirred comment on the WKW FB page.

…while she looked every inch the glamorous princess on the Tuesday at an awards ceremony at the Natural History Museum, on Wednesday during an Action on Addiction gala dinner fashion watchers described her as looked [sic] rather more washed out.

Why? Is it because she was attending her third event in two days. Because she is the mother of a 15-month-old toddler? Or because she is 13 weeks pregnant with her second child? None of the above according to certain style experts, who say it is because she doesn’t always choose colours that suit her complexion.

Kate’s aubergine coat from Christmas Day of 2011 and Hobbs Celeste coat are cited as ‘hits’ while the Hobbs Persephone coat worn for St. Patrick’s 2014 and yellow Emilia Wickstead coat are deemed ‘misses’.

The expert quoted in the article, Melissa Nicholson, uses the decades-old seasonal color palette in determining what works for Kate and what doesn’t, in her estimation. From Ms. Nicholson’s perspective:

…the shades that compliment Kate’s skin tone…are from the ‘summer’ palette, which means she looks her best in clothes with a blue tint rather than a yellow one.

‘It is quite obvious that Kate is a summer,’ she said. ‘I would say her best shades are French navy, airforce blue, aubergine, plum, burgundy, soft berry and grey (anything from silver to slate).
