I am actually confused with Catherine's dress. I understand she recycled the red dress from the Christmas event a couple of years ago as mentioned, and I understand that the dress was below the knees. The picture of Catherine walking mid-stride at about 18:23 shows the dress is slightly above the knees and I thought "oh, she hemmed it shorter". But then after Catherine got rid of the cape shown at about 20:34 the dress is below the knees 😅 is it some kind of optical illusion? Or does the dress have a slit?
She had a simple sheath dress underneath at just above knee length both times she wore the coat dress with the bow. It doesn't button down very far, and we saw more movement (out of the car, up the stairs) this time as compared to the xmas occasion which showed the sheath dress under more on this occasion. The cape on top was added this time and looked to be slightly longer than the coat dress so it was three layers total this time and it did look confusing 😀💛
What about the hair style. One down and one in a chiffon? I’m confused? She’s gorgeous either way but it’s a bit confusing as to when the photos were taken.
@@marrtianchronicles5702 I noticed that a too. I have never seen a vid when she has her hair down that she isnt fussing at it. Buy her a snood. I like it better pinned up in some fashion, not just hanging on her shouldars.
@BeebsKelley First, thanks to the OP for asking the question that I wanted to ask but couldn't quite figure out how to word it. Everyone else seemed to understand it, so I thought I was just having a "Robin moment", so a million thank yous for voicing the question perfectly. And, Beebs, thank you for reading the comments and answering this question so thoroughly. You explained it with the extra detail that I needed to grasp the whole concept without making me feel like a fashion dummy. If I understand correctly, the sheath dress serves the purpose of a slip that the world can see. Forgive me, I just want to understand, she's wearing the proper undergarments, then the sheath dress which is most likely lined with silk, then the coat dress with the bow, and then the "cape"? Oh, she is not only beautiful, kind, genuine, a fashion icon but a bloody fashion chessmaster too! She's brilliant. One final question that does seem ridiculous at this point, but does she have a sheath dress on under every coat dress?
And, The Meg, thought she could compete in this type of high fashion game? She's not even eligible to be on the lineup.
I'm sure the designer can make slightly different dresses, could be different.
I LOVE that Catherine wore the Queen Mother's tiara. In my opinion, Charles offered its use to her as a sign of his deep affection and appreciation for her.
I also think it was also a great way to throw some shade at Her Graceless, the Duchess of Duplicity.
I was thinking that too. Also the motif to me had meaning. 🇬🇧 🌹
Yes I love seeing them together
that was a FAb tiara and I hope we see more of it.
💯🎯 I thought exactly the same thing! I thought it just reinforced everything we’ve heard about how much affection King Charles has for Catherine, the Princess of Wales, to have her wear that particular tiara! Everyone know how close he was to his Grandmother!
Meghan Markle’s attempts to give Catherine a character assassination have backfired every time!
You can believe her word or your own eyes.
Yeah, like who is she? NOTHING ompared to Princess Catherine. Head scratcher.
@@maryannchamberswhite6918 Meagain is so envious. Meagain is a vile nasty creature.
Yes EVERY TIME😊
Meghan who? An absolute rookie!
I think Catherine chooses her jewellery carefully. She doesn't wear lots or over the top pieces but smaller meaningful pieces.
Her whole fashion sense is refined and fits the occasion.
Yes! Her jewelry always has a meaning for somebody other than herself. How gracious and thoughtful.
I’ve noticed that Camilla can wear large tiaras. They don’t overwhelm her.
It's so nice to see Princess Anne getting to wear formal wear instead of a military uniform. She looked lovely. The tiara was so pretty. I also like that she just grabs something out of the closet. She's a no fuss lady. Queen Camilla does justice to the "big guns" tiaras. The Strathmore rose was in a museum for years because it was considered too fragile to be worn again. They must have done some work on it to get it wearable again.
Yes Camilla's hair etc has always made those big tiaras look amazing.
The rich shades that Camilla wears suit her perfectly.
Princess Anne always looks so regal, gracious and confident!
Agreed, I think they would overwhelm a lot of other people but Camilla can really pull them off!
I remember when Princess Anne was young. I was super young. She was so newsworthy that she was in every newspaper, every broadcast every magazine, all the time. I do not however, remember the kidnap incident. I thought she might be mean, that she was beautiful, that all the men wanted to marry her. She got as much coverage as Catherine or Meghan. Meghan however, was the only one that believed in all that press before the world figured her out and then no more good press. She fired herself from one of the most noted positions in the world because she felt she was overqualified
Strathmore Rose is a great choice for Catherine, because not only will she be Queen consort but will be Queen mother.
Oh wow yeh I didn’t even think of it that way, I hope she lives to see George become king, I can’t imagine how proud she’d be
Good point.
Very flapper looking.
@@chrisf1202 u got em there Chris 👊🏽
@@oceanfive8201 Or maybe hope she doesn't, because that'll mean she'll have to see her own husband pass away... It's a tricky one for sure !
Catherine defining grace and elegance. She will be a true queen.
I was shocked to see that Kim Keon-hee was born 2 September 1972 and aged 51. I thought she was in her late 30s early 40s!
Never would have thought she was my age. Well I'm '71.
POW is becoming Catherine The Great before our very eyes. Imma call her that from now on. How can one woman be so perfect? Like Mary Poppins, "Practically Perfect In Every Way!"
Edit to add: I would give a million dollars to know what sweet, adoring, couple banter/pillow talk they exchanged after "the leg". They are so in tune with each other, it is a delight to see. He just adores and respects her. Couple goals for sure!
Catherine the great- I love it!❤
Catherine the belovedly Great; I know there is nothing like that but there are no words to explain how to love and adore her.
Love from Zambia 🇿🇲
With legs like that, I’m sure no one cared! She is absolutely gorgeous- inside and out. She is a true beauty!!!
Charles and Camilla.
William and Catherine.
They embody what royalty is.
2nd & 3rd line is true
@@Queenmariacorvinus
I was against Charles and Camilla.
harry and meghan changed my mind. Now I support them.
I absolutely love princess Anne. She will not put up with nonsense. And princess Kathrine. What a lovely old school event! Since Queen Elizabeth died there's been only taudriness and shame. Lets get dressed up for someone and honor people. Wonderful!
Princess Catherines earrings belonged to Princess Diana. It’s the sapphire and diamond earrings in the matching set with the engagement ring. Absolutely stunning.
I believe I heard that Catherine had them made into drop earrings because they were originally studs.
I adored her gown from this year with the Strathmore Rose tiara. She's dressing as full on Princess of Wales now.
Thank you for mentioning how beautiful the gown of the first lady of Korea's gown is. Everyone was talking about the Royal ladies, but I loved her gown the most!
Her gown was elegant and stunning
I loved her gown the most too. Simple, totally elegant and fit for the occasion. Less is more 😍
I’m not crazy about any of the white gowns, but I’m glad they all wore white which pushed Camilla out front in the stunning red. Wow! Camilla and Catherine (earlier in the day) taught the world how to wear red.
I think it's the same dress, Catherine seems to recycle a lot of her clothes. Which I love. ❣️
Thank you for just doing the REAL royals.
Don't forget how good William look's in these pictures as well as Catherine .
Designers must adore dressing Catherine. She has a model figure and wears her clothes with such style.
Princess Anne has always nailed the dress code. Event appropriate, royal, often sensible but still stylish, and never tries to outshine the Monarch, spouse (QEll and Camilla) and William and Catherine.
I thought her first wedding dress was stunning. The Elizabethan sleeves were a triumph.
That dress is one of my favorite royal wedding dresses. @@simongoodwin5253
Catherine is absolutely stunning in the red outfit. Fabulous 😍
That Strathmore Rose tiara was spectacular on Princess Catherine!! I loved the Queen’s Burmese ruby tiara as well. It always looked exquisite on Queen Elizabeth as well.
First Lady of South Korea had one of the classiest, most beautifully fitted dresses I’ve seen.
Just stunning.
Heck, if you have to have a slip-up, what a way to do it! Her legs are gorgeous. I can only imagine Prince William whispering naughty things to her to get that smile that is shown in her eyes as well as her mouth!
If I had legs like Princess Catherine's, I would flash them all the time. My first impression of the pic was 'WOW!'.The lady is a work of art. Don't think anyone minded it in the least. If they did, it's due to envy. About the gown, I think it's the same.
When you watch the videos of KC interacting with people who just come upon him casually, he is very personable and warm. I like him. I wish we could have seen Queen Diana, but I think Queen Camilla does a great job and seems to make him happy. Cannot wait for Queen Catherine!!
You can't wait for the King to die?
Except IF there had been a Queen Diana still commanding so much attention, I don’t think you’d have the same King Charles. Having read so much about them both, Diana’s hurt brought out her vindictive side as to not being protective of the Monarchy as a whole. I understand as a WIFE, having been rejected, it does not bring out our best and to up the stress, Charles wronged her and called her nasty names but he’s still the HEIR, and so protected in doing & being protected while doing it too. But pretending they could have stayed together when Diana did such provocative things to cause outrage, Charles’ resentment over being eclipsed by his wife, would have strengthened his flaws. Diana felt free to act disrespectful, and was setting the kids to be caught in the middle, so we would not have the strong William we see now.
Katherine, Princess of Wales is so naturally elegant, stylish, graceful and happy about learning how to be the best POW possible.
I like Charles a lot, and his climate efforts have been so longstanding and genuine, and show true leadership.
Any one of my age will remember the press taking the piss out of him and his father for their concerns about the environment. Prince Philip is on record voicing his concerns as far back as the fifties. But they were portrayed as eccentrics who were out of touch with the modern world. I wonder if King Charles sometimes thinks quietly to himself ‘I told you so!’ I know I would.
I thought that the President of South Koreas wife looked amazing. The coat was an exquisite shape and fitted beautifully and I loved the way that she styled her dramatic dark hair. She was wearing grey tights with black shoes and I so want to copy that look.
Catherine the Princess of Wales is STUNNING! Little did we all know how evil and horrid the future would hold for them at the time. So so sad and horrified by how terrible the two treat both their families, but this new book and the absolute evil horrid ness is beyond the pale. Thank you for reminding us of the beauty that is Princess Catherine 🫶🏻💕🥰👏🏻
i've always liked king charles (prince charles for most of my life)...he genuinely seems to give a sh*t about important topics and hasn't shied away from them...his grandkids seem to love him and he and william seem to have genuine respect and love for each other
The earnings belonged to Diana princess of Wales, it was a different dress but nothing suits her better than the pride and love in her husband's eyes when he looks at her or the love in her eyes when she looks at him.
I enjoy learning about royal fashion. It is such a break from all the chaos in the world. Camilla's red dress and tiara with red jewels was stunning. The Korean first lady had the most beautiful black gown. It fit her beautifully. I loved the highlights on Katherine's dress. This was such an outstanding event.
Princess Anne always looks regal. Even though she regularly recycles clothes from 40 years ago. Sophie always wears clothes that are understated but always correct for the occasion. She's still true to form in liking black or white. Her wedding look featured black and white pearls that were a gift from Edward on their wedding day. I do love her convertible tiara! Catherine's Strathmore tiara was a nod to South Korea's national flower. I wanted to add that the girls of Blackpink were invited to Balmoral and given MBEs. They all looked stunning and respectful of traditions. The President of South Korea and his wife looked absolutely elegant.
I agrée with you! But Balmoral? I don’t think that is where they received their MBEs.
@@marblehead2500 I've lost it completely. I meant Buckingham Palace. Sorry! Stress and more stress today. Thanks for telling me!
It's fab that Anne can still wear clothes that she wore as a young woman. I wish 😅
I really like Sophie’s tiara. It’s really pretty.
I LOVE Sophie’s convertible tiara! I had never seen it as a necklace before - beautiful. The Queen looked gorgeous in the Burmese Ruby. Catherine wore the Strathmore tiara beautifully, but honestly I would have loved to see HER in a jewel-red gown. She looks fabulous when she occasionally wears dramatic color - like the upgraded cape-dress. And come on - the leg mistake broke the internet because Catherine’s legs… 😉
Did it occur to anyone that perhaps many of the ladies were "rewearing" or "reworking" their clothing for the event as a nod to the honor being paid for the sustainability bit?
I absolutely think Catherine's dress had the cape changed out. It really does look like that. I think I liked last years better. This one is beautiful, but I was blown away at last years gown. I absolutely loved Queen Camilla's dress. It was so beautiful. I thought Sophie was lovely. I understand your point about it being busy but I was so glad to get to see the gown. And the first lady of SK... just Wow!! She looked amazing. No crown. No crown jewels. And she stood out. I love Catherine's red cape dress look. Isn't that just gorgeous? Bless her about the dress getting caught. It happens. This is how the royal family is supposed to do fashion. Love it!!!
Another fab video, Beebs - thank you! What a relief not to hear about the one that shall not be named…
Glad you mentioned the South Korean First Lady’s dress. Totally enamored with that dress - wish I could steal it from her !!
Even my mum mentioned to me TWICE how impressed she is with Catherine’s impeccable dress sense - which, believe me, is no small feat..
I vote for cape change as far as her white dress (worn twice)
The Korean first lady looked divine
She is gorgeous- I think flattered her origins beautifully
Luv all the royals look- not one outshone the other- exsentuated their position and personality
I loved the shorter sleeved cape dress for Catherine at the most recent State Dinner. I don’t think it’s an update of the previous dress.
As for Catherine’s dress mishap getting out of the car, if you’re going to have your dress hiked up, make sure you’ve got Killer Legs!! And she does! You go, Catherine!
I love they so often rewear their wardrobes -I so wish for trading card with the favorite outfits ❤️
The sash Catherine and Sophie are wearing is the insignia of Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order-its a chivalric award from the Queen as a mark of their personal service. Anne's sash is different-that's the insignia of a Lady Companion of the Order of the Garter (the highest chivalric order). Male holders are called Knight Companion. They always wear their sashes at state occasions-its a bit like medal ribbons that the military wear with their formal dress uniforms.
I really do like last year's dress the best. The silver was so shimmery and elegant. The Lovers Knot tiara is my absolute favorite. It just epitomizes what I want a princess to wear. I'm not a huge fan of opera gloves with a sleeve, except perhaps a cap. Otherwise they seem to be fighting for space. But truly, Princess Catherine could make Cinderella's rags look fit for the ball.
From a Scot. You pronounced Edinburgh right. And Princess Catherine looked stunning in the red outfit.
The person who opened the car door for Catherine should have warned her that it was a steep drop to the ground. Catherine did indeed look stunning at the state dinner. I believe it could be the same white dress with a different cape. Catherine is always mindful of how much clothes cost. she quite often recycles outfits. What happens when they are done with, well you often see Carol or Pippa Middleton wearing jackets etc, that once belonged to Catherine.
Can you imagine a garter on that leg. Yes unfortunate wardrobe malfunction, but as always gracefully carried on.
No, he looks great in Court dress!
The gown of the First Lady was absolute perfection on her and although I am not a huge fan of velvet, that red plus those sleeves and its swishy skirt were wonderful on Queen Camilla.
I love the South African State banquet a little more, but this look was also beautiful.
I felt bad for Princess Catherine when her red dress showed her leg, but honestly, her legs are so toned that she looks great.
Catherine could give lessons in repurposing! She never misses.
Love your knowledge and appreciation of the Royal family, and knowledge of etiquette, it makes such a change from everyone just lobbing insults ,
For me, Queen Camilla and First Spouse Kim Keon Hee were show stoppers. I bow - repeatedly - to First Spouse Hee's dress. Love the richness of the black fabric (velvet?) and agreed that the trim embellishment is perfect: not showy, not an afterthought but glamorous, enhancing her figure and the dress's silhouette just right. Queen Camilla's red!!! So regal and the PERFECT shade for her coloring!! The little flourishes in the cut (shoulders, sleeve cuff, neck shape, skirt filled to a perfect point)... "chef's kiss", over and over.
Where would the monarchy be without her??? Where would William’s be without her???
Camilla’s red dress was extraordinarily beautiful ❤
Tiara history is so interesting! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge.
A tiara matching with a necklace or bracelet is called a parure. It enables the set to be worn as a complimentary group and are designed to be worn together although many royals choose to wear one item (to avoid ostentatious behaviour, I expect) with a subtle pair of earrings to go with a statement tiara. 👑
POW Catherine unintentionally flashing her tone legs was epic. Meghan could never with her chicken legs
No one in history will ever wear the tiara mm wore 😂
Probably not. That tiara looked like a royal knock off. I think they duped it and didn't let her wear the real one. After that hissy fit over the emerald tiara, she learned not to piss the queen off.
Probably not since she only wore a fake glass imitation😆. HMTQ felt the wife would again ‘accidentally forget’ to return that tiara (which Is what happened) she had a fake made to protect the real deal. But because the Wife did claim it’s ‘lost’, it’d be tacky to pull out the real deal and someone wear it, but it sure would be hilarious.
The red coat dress & the leg! Ooo la la! She recovered beautifully....a picture of grace under pressure. I would have blushed & stammered & made a spectacle of myself! 😅
Beebs, I'd really love to see more on all the Royal jewelry. Thank you ❣️
Camilla's red velvet was a perfect shade, if it had a different undertone it would not have worked.
I love caefwrines style, she has impeccable taste and always dresses appropriately. It’s sad for Megan that she didn’t hang about long enough to learn from Catherine. Megan seems to favour the I just got out of bed look or as an alternative, I got dressed in the dark because there was a power cut. Also MM doe t dress appropriately those shorts at the invictus games still give me nightmares !
Thank you Beebs❣️ I always anticipate and look forward to your podcasts. They are well rounded and researched. All this in addition to a pleasant well modulated voice. Perhaps a career in voice over work in the future?
I watched your podcast on my iPad, so I am not certain, but it looked to me that the cape embroidery had a bit of the Stathmore Rose motives. If it’s correct, more kudos to Catherine the Princess of Wales for impeccable and thoughtful presentation.
Thank you again, and look forward to your future podcasts. They are always well rounded and researched.
I admire princes Catherine for the excellent job she does representing the RF, despite not being born into it. I also admire Prince William for taking the time to help Catherine realize what she was taking on and help her navigate in the system. It was clear from their first joint interview after their engagement. Great Britain is lucky to look forward to a great leadership.
The earrings with the Kirea Cape outfit were a present from William.
The dress at the banquet was the Jenny Packham updated.
I love seeing the real royals.
I liked that all the working royal women were dressed in white with exception from Queen Camilla. There goes Megsies claim that the royal ladies couldn't wear the same colors😂 😂😂
Catherine broke the internet with that red cape dress, you know that’s got to make someone so mad 😂😂😂. I wish I had legs like that 🤩
I think Catherine’s white dress is the same dress with an interchangeable cape. The earrings she wore with the red dress were Princess Diana’s and match her engagement ring.
I love the fact that Catherine has repurposed her Jenny Packham gown and is wearing the Strathmore Rose Tiara, she looks heavenly, Sophie and Anne look great too. I love Camilla's gown it matches the rubies in her tiara perfectly although I think there is a better ruby tiara in the Royal Collection. Nice to have such choices. Great video Beebs. xx
If you compare Catherine's opera gloves to Anne's it makes your point.
Seriously are you a professional stylist? You are so interesting I've never thought of so many ways you critique all these looks ❣️
I agree only I thought you might be a dress designer.
When I heard on the news that Mrs Kim, the South Korean first lady is 51 years old, I thought I'd misheard. She looks 31, not 51! Anyone know her skincare regime?!
South Korea is known for their skincare. I would expect nothing less.
I love the 1st lady of South Korea’s dress too, its stunning 🤩
Catherine always looks stunning, I'm a big fan. ❣️
Cathrine gown I feel was a different dress, the shade of white is slightly different along with the neckline. She could wear a flour sack and still make it beautiful.
I may sound a little bit sexist, here. But, Catherine, The Princess of Wales' legs looked incredible! WOW!
The earrings are Princess Diana’s, Kate leg look was absolutely fantastic
Great job showing the red cape/coat bow magic Catherine treated us to.
Dear Lord! Princess Ann needs a makeover 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Let's look BEHIND the Duchess and look at GORGEOUS JOHNNY 😊❤
Chances are Jenny Peckham used the same base pattern for the gown and changed the capelet/sleeves for the North Korean dinner. The South African gown has crystal/jewel embellishments on the bodice that would be hard to remove without damaging the dress? I think she wore a newer version of the gown. All of the designers she works with would keep a custom sloper/block specifically for her measurements, making it easier for them to reproduce, adapt and create new designs from the silhouettes she likes.
I had the same thought. The white/ivory sheath gown looked too similar, but the cape and capelet seemed to be integrated too much with the basic gown to be the exact same dress. Making 2 basic sheaths would be fairly easy for her tailors/designers. Then, changing the design of the outerwear to make a ke a new statement, priceless.
Morning Beebs from wintry Scotland. It is so lovely that you did this special on what our beloved Royal ladies wore for the state visit. They all looked fantastic as did the lovely South Korean ladies. ❤
You are so well spoken and have such a pleasant demeanor.. your insights are so well thought through and appreciated. Such a pleasure to listen to you..thanking you for your great videos!
This was so interesting! I hope to see more and more videos about royal fashion when there are big events like this - and getting to see other countries represented as well was a special treat! And I have another idea: can we get a video about Catherine’s rewears and how she updates her clothes? I bet that would be so fun! 🤩
Looking forward to another tiara video! Catherine looked amazing in red and I think the world enjoyed the little bit of gorgeous leg showing! Even her mistakes are fabulous!
I don’t think it’s the same redcoat but same designer same line. Maybe you didn’t say it’s the same coat , it’s not. Well, it would have totally had to have been remade. But it’s such a winner for Catherine!!! I’m so happy she’s smart enough to keep the winning traits going ! The red dress and hat is one of my ALL TIME fav royal looks ! Including from the era of Diana! This is my all time fav!!❤❤❤
This was absolute perfection.
I wouldn't be surprised if she had several dresses made for the coronation, and picked one, now shes wearing the other dresses, Princess Catherine has always done dresses she like in multiple colors, we know Catherine doesn't buy clothes just because their designer, and she always rewares stuff, i love how Catherine learned from QE2 , she took her job/position seriously and has been a blessing to the RF.
Thanks Beebs! Could you do a video on the fashions Black Pink wore to the state visit? Their evening gowns and the outfits worn for the MBE ceremony?
Princess Catherine is magnificent.
The First Lady of South Koreas dress was lovely, do you know who designed it? I loved Camilla’s whole ensemble along
with Catherine and Sophie.
Thank you Beebs😁I bet Princess Catherine had the dress made to either have cape or cap sleeves because she’s the POW!!
I think the white dresses were two different dresses. Both absolutely exquisite.
Great commentary, thank you @beebskelly ❤ About Catherine, I must say I enjoyed the "leg moment". It just contributes to the whole perfect but human picture of PoW. And when you have legs like hers, wow!👏🤍🩷
You were SPOT ON about Sophie. She was wearing an aquamarine necklace too that totally got lost in the embellishment at the top of the dress. Anne's bolero look made everything look disjointed. I didn't like the look at all from her, but she isn't one for fashion, so she probably doesn't care. I loved Korea's first lady's look--so chic.
Agreed, I felt with the Lacey shoulders, she should have gone for her updated beefed up wedding tiara sans necklace. Or gotten a new tiara out of the vault.😅
I would be terrified wearing a tiara because of it falling down.
You have completely expressed my thoughts on the royals - men and women - in this video. Catherine obviously takes the cake, with the very handsome William beside her - at both first meeting and state dinner. King Charles and Queen Camilla are a gorgeous pair themselves. As you say, Queen Camilla's dress is a beautiful shade of red, perfect for her, fitting the occasion and perfectly showcasing the stunning tiara, necklace, and earring suite she wore. I can't help notice that King Charles also wore a red ribbon for his neck medal (please forgive me, although I'm an anglophile I don't know all the medals and honors) - just another example of them planning their presentation and perfecting it. As you point out, the Duchess of Edinburgh looks completely gorgeous as well. I love that the royal ladies work together (and with their husbands) to produce a stunning, united presentation of grace and dignity. Long live the king!
I loved The Strathmore Rose Tiara with this Jenny Packham dress. I love this dress more than the one from last year because I’m not a fan of those floor length split sleeves. It’s not a cape. The sleeves are like tubes. I DO wish the embellishments on this year’s dress had been silver to match the tiara. The capelet IS flowy & perfect, though! I think King Charles had a hand in her being able to wear that particular tiara. So kind of him. ♥️ Jessica
If the Princess of Wales' gown was repurposed, they also changed the neckline. That change in neckline makes a huge difference in how the cape balances the shoulders.
In last year's dress, the neckline is narrower to echo the long sleeves. The effect is to narrow the shoulder line.
This year's dress has a slightly wider neckline. The effect is to, again, narrow the effect of the shoulder line and make the caplet more prominent. A real masterclass in exquisite tailoring.
Catherine is perfection.
unlike MEG's attemped Diana nod with the skirt... Princess Catherine did it and looked FAB by accident
I've been waiting for you to cover the wardrobe malfunction for Catherine. Thank you. I can hardly wait for you to do more Royal jewelry. Catherine is so respectful with it.
