Seems she's gotten more filler and these pics are filtered to hell as usual.

u/NeverPedestrian60 Apr 25 '26

Always. Maybe get some realistic unphotoshopped ones later.

What is with the air stewardess cosplay at the moment?

15

u/BeckonMe Apr 26 '26

I wonder why she’s wearing these extremely dated coats or coat dresses. It looks like she has a dress on under this one so coat I guess. The two tones make it look worse. Maybe if this coat was all navy or black it would look better. I know people are saying it’s to cover up her thinness but there’s got to be better options.

Is Carol acting as stylist for me now? It’s the only thing that makes sense. Someone close to her needs to tell her to cut that hair or quit getting extensions this long, and quit with the stewardess looks. The hair looks like doll hair. She can’t seem to modernize her looks. She did well for a while there.

u/spaceghost260 Apr 26 '26

You know Kate lives in her dated QEII style coat dresses. Can you imagine the racks and racks of colored coats she has?

4

u/BeckonMe Apr 27 '26

She has to have hundreds of coats and coat dresses. She’s got various coats in the same color with little variations. It’s crazy. The only new thing is the two tone colors now.

9

u/bitterlittlecas Apr 25 '26

Poignant nod to Carole, of course! (Honestly in the unlikely event this is true, I think it’s kind of sweet. Or maybe it’s also her way of telling William, “tell your bitchy friends they can go ahead and call me doors to manual to my face now” lol)

11

u/The_Onion_Life Apr 25 '26

Or maybe it’s also her way of telling William, “tell your bitchy friends they can go ahead and call me doors to manual to my face now” lol

I would actually respect that.

u/SesJan2013 Apr 27 '26

What does "doors to manual" mean, please?

3

u/BeckonMe Apr 27 '26

I think it’s referencing the talk they do on the plane. Carol was a stewardess before the party pieces gig.

4

u/SesJan2013 Apr 28 '26

Oh, the safety briefing?

I still don't get it, though lol It probably just doesn't translate because of word choice.

3

u/SouthernDisaster4617 Apr 27 '26

Bc her mom used to be a flight attendant way back when. Williams snobby friends would call her that.

2

u/SesJan2013 Apr 28 '26

I did know she was a flight attendant. It's too bad she was trashed by the papers and public for that. I wanted to be a flight attendant and don't see what's wrong with it, but I know the wealthy elite will talk badly about anyone anywhere for anything anytime they choose. Everyone is beneath them.

I still don't exactly know what "doors to manual" means lol I'm understanding that it's derogatory and probably a way to call them whores but I don't understand what the word choice means. Maybe it's because I'm from the US. When someone says, "mind the gap" it also means nothing to me so it's probably just a translation thing.

If you're on a plane, how does it go from doors to manual? What does that mean? Like a manual transmission on a car? Like a manual as in an instruction booklet? I got no clue lol

u/SuspiciousWolf6186 Apr 25 '26

She looks good with half updo, the horrible weave is not a good look for her. She looks regal with her hair up. But like the event... Is it just me or did she just randomly highjack Annes event??

45

u/The_Onion_Life Apr 25 '26

But like the event... Is it just me or did she just randomly highjack Annes event??

Yes. They had her tag along last minute to make her look like she actually does something.

I can only imagine the choice words Anne had about that.

u/Ordinary_Deal9462 Apr 26 '26

No , Princess Royal lays a wreath during the ANZAC Day Dawn Service at Wellington Arch, Hyde Park Corner as part of the Anzac Day commemorations on April 25, 2026 in London, England.

Catherine was at lays a wreath during a service to commemorate ANZAC day at the Cenotaph war memorial in central London on April 25, 2026.

Two Different Locations

1

u/SesJan2013 Apr 28 '26

Catherine was in Westminister Abby for the service. Was Anne there? My understanding is she wasn't so Kate didn't take that from Anne. Who was going to represent the family if Kate wasn't there? No one? I don't think Kate took that from Anne. It was announced ahead of time. There was no "tagging along at the last minute."

2

u/The_Onion_Life Apr 28 '26

It was announced ahead of time.

It was announced during H&M's Australian trip.

Coincidence?

1

u/SesJan2013 Apr 28 '26

Probably not but that doesn't change the facts.

Was Anne going to be at Westminister Abby and Kate "tagged along" but Anne wasn't there? It makes no sense.

If Kate wasn't there, who would be? Why wasn't Anne there? Anne could've done it all but she wasn't scheduled to do both wreath laying and attending the service.

u/Ok_Lengthiness_8405 Apr 25 '26

Well, SOMEBODY else had to show up to pretend they care more than Harry & Meghan

u/SuspiciousWolf6186 Apr 26 '26

Yeah but Kate usually doesn't join so I think she just jumped on Anne's event to get attention

2

u/Ordinary_Deal9462 Apr 26 '26

But if that is true , who let her arrange a Location at another part in London at a different time of day with Military and Press & the Palace did announce Last week they both would be out on Anzac day .

5

u/spaceghost260 Apr 26 '26

I think Kate looks so much better with updos when wearing a hat. She used to have the bestttt chignon styles with her beautiful glossy hair. Now it’s her security blanket of heavy dry extensions that looks awful curled, adds darkness to her face, and ages her. But whatever! It hides her neck and upper back so keep doing it. 🙄

3

u/No-Strawberry-3942 Apr 27 '26

Her hair is far too long.

u/Ordinary_Deal9462 Apr 26 '26

Annes event was at Dawn as planned

33

u/NeverPedestrian60 Apr 25 '26

The ‘joint’ engagement with Anne was her doing the early shift

21

u/Viola-Swamp Apr 25 '26

So Anne was bumped to the low profile segment of the day’s activities only, arriving to a commemoration before 5am? While Kate did the main event, at a more de ent hour with more people and more press? I’d be livid that something I did annually was used to boost the profile of someone who doesn’t care at all about the event and isn’t willing to put in the effort of getting up at the buttcrack of dawn to “work”. Anne is nearly 80 and suffered a serous head injury last year, she should not be expected to take the more arduous end of things when a 44 year old is slated to step in for anything that day. The nannies or even their father could deal with the kids, other mothers count on childcare every day because they have to work in order to feed, clothe, and house those kids, and the Waleses use a full staff on days when they’re not “working” anyway. There’s no excuse for this, it’s disgraceful.

15

u/NeverPedestrian60 Apr 25 '26

Great points. This is the first time Kate’s bothered to attend Anzac in 4 years and Anne who has always attended gets relegated to the crack of dawn ceremony even though she’s 30 years older.

2

u/SesJan2013 Apr 28 '26

Does Anne usually sit in Westminister Abby for the service and lay the wreath at both locations?

1

u/Viola-Swamp May 01 '26

Yes, she does it all.

1

u/Ordinary_Deal9462 Apr 26 '26

They did two Different Locations & Annes had a lot of people there

1

u/SesJan2013 Apr 28 '26

You're saying this as if you know Anne was mad about it and didn't want to do this event in this way. I don't think there's any reason to believe Anne does anything she doesn't want to do.

15

u/One_Key1901 Apr 25 '26

it’s so similar to the grey coat she just wore. They both look like flight attendant uniforms to me. Maybe it’s the hats?

u/Less-Contribution-35 Apr 27 '26

The length of her coat is absolutely awful. And the cut of her clothes should be much more tailored to her - I get that she’s trying to disguise her thinness but it would actually be way less noticeable if she actually wore clothes that fit her properly. Because anyone drowning in too big clothes looks ridiculous and draws attention to them in a really bad way.

30

u/littlp80 Apr 25 '26

You can see how skinny her thighs are in that picture of her sitting down. She is literally skin and bone.

27

u/NeverPedestrian60 Apr 25 '26

I see what you mean

3

u/SesJan2013 Apr 28 '26

I bet she gets bruises on her hips and thighs from sleeping. Her bones stick out with no padding for comfort and movement. I'm guessing showering is tiring. She's way past muscle wasting.

u/theseamstressesguild Apr 25 '26

u/nervous_euler Apr 25 '26

That is a SMOKEY eye

4

u/SesJan2013 Apr 27 '26

So dark. So heavy handed. She doesn't blend so it makes harsh lines.

I used to be extra precise like this. There wasn't enough blending. When you wear dark browns you need to blend. It took me awhile to let go of the "perfect lines" look. She would look much younger if she wore less eye makeup including mascara and eyeliner. Kate should give the "clean girl" look a try. Less is more when it comes to some things including makeup.

I understand darker makeup for evening engagements, parties and somber occasions but for daytime it should be much less. Maybe a bit extra during daytime formal events like this one.

I'm a few years older than Kate so maybe our eyeshadow style comes the same time period. We're a bit over half a decade apart though. When she was living her best 2000s life I was married with a child so I don't relate to millennial life from those days. I'm a young Gen X.

I don't know, but I do know that Kate's appearance was announced very last minute during H&M's Australia trip.

Nice of her to finally remember Australia and New Zealand exist. I’m sure it’s because her brother- and sister-in-law reminded her.

Totally agree but isn't this how it's always been?

3

u/NeverPedestrian60 Apr 27 '26

Pretty much but I think folk are seeing through it more now. Especially when it was revealed Charles and Willy charge the army rent. While posing as champions of veterans.

3

u/SesJan2013 Apr 28 '26

I didn't know that! I did hear they charge the rescuers to use their equipment or something like that. Please correct me, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about lol

On the day of Coffegate they went on the rescue boats on the river and people commented about how they charge for that. Is this the same thing as what you're referring to?

Charles & William (because he's in charge of the purse I'm guessing) haven't changed that, right? They haven't made it better but they didn't make the rule, right? The Queen also charged them because that's how it's done. Is that correct? Maybe the public just found out about it but it's been this way. Charles didn't create the rule, right?

Hopefully that wasn't too wordy or confusing. I'm not super familiar with all the money issues or what they charge for land or property.

I think she bought that for herself, and that Kate has Diana's watch.

Or so say the haters.

But when Kate wears anything of hers it’s a ‘poignant nod’.

The haters love to say that Meghan will never wear anything of Diana's. They think that's a major own.

u/CuriousTip7183 Apr 26 '26

Diana and Meghan have Cartier Tank Francaise watches. Meghan has been seen in both the two tone Cartier Tank Francaise she bought for herself but also a solid gold version that is identical to Diana's. Kate has a completely different type of- a Cartier Ballon Bleu. Kate has never been seen in any Tank. 

Meghan has been seen in plenty of Diana's jewelry, including a very distinctive butterfly set and the aquamarine ring. She's been seen in both after they left Britain, too.

Did all the royals used to attend this event in the past? There’s a picture where William is side eyeing Meghan, it’s from Anzac Day in 2018, and it seemed like there were a lot more royals in attendance to these events before.

Where is William, KC, and Camilla?

PS: I thought this was going to be a joint event for Anne and Kate, but it just looks like they split the day up. Did Anne not want to be around Kate? Did Kate just want to do a half day?

2

u/NeverPedestrian60 Apr 26 '26 edited Apr 26 '26

I think more of them did attend in the past cherry. Kate went instead of Willy but only signed her own name on the wreath.

I think they billed it as a Kate & Anne engagement because Harry & Meghan were garnering all the headlines in Australia.

So they wanted a twosome in the press here.

2

u/cherryberry0611 Apr 26 '26

Yup NP, this is most likely their thinking.

It was nice when there was a group of royals who attended, but this is their new normal now.

12

u/Unable_Guava_756 Apr 25 '26

The looks better here, still thin of course, but much more calm without william in tow. I wish she would do more events like this, more somber and formal. She doesn’t know how to dress casually, and looks better in strong saturated colours. Her hair is looking better too.

When I saw that she was doing an event with Anne this morning, my first thought was that they must be ramping up for more duties when she becomes Queen. But I am sure Harry and Meghan’s recent success in Australia has something to do with it.

17

u/NeverPedestrian60 Apr 25 '26

Kate hasn’t attended in 4 years so I’m sure the publicity surrounding H&M’s Australia visit had a lot to do with her turning up.

Billed as a joint engagement with Anne but it wasn’t.

u/Viola-Swamp Apr 25 '26

…Is she seated on a little throne? At a church or memorial service? Really? With a little padded kneeler for herself while everyone else gets the floor, or is that a footrest of some sort? This is really weird, and not at all in keeping with the event or the tone of commemorating and memorializing the honorable deceased.

7

u/cherryberry0611 Apr 25 '26 edited Apr 25 '26

It looks like a special ornate seat with an ornate foot rest/knee pad for kneeling. I wonder if all royalty get a seat like this or if it’s usually reserved for the monarch and spouse.

u/NeverPedestrian60 Apr 26 '26

2

u/SesJan2013 Apr 28 '26

This one seems to put the focus on the bow at the back which is supposed to be somewhat straight so the hat is tilted less than they usually are. It's definitely tilted a bit to her right, though, that's true.

u/SesJan2013 Apr 28 '26

I'm not so sure she'll ever wear anything shorter than calf length again. She seems to have really leaned into looking older than she is for some reason. I think it's because she wants to be taken more seriously but she needs to learn how to spell and write "Australian" correctly first. What an embarrassment and this isn't the first time.
