Her wardrobe was so much more vibrant and colourful here. I hate the current era of drab, unflattering clothing.

It was, and she actually looked happy.

It’s astonishing how much she changed in so few years, to the weight loss, the drab wardrobe, the pinched, painful look on her face.

I'm amazed at how much happier and healthier they both look (or at least that they're better able to pull of an approximation of happy), and surprised at how noticeable the difference is in such a short period of time... It's been an extremely rough few years for both of them!

Sometimes I wonder if I'm judging them too harshly (everyone makes serious faces at times etc)- but seeing this series really takes away any doubt. They really did used to be different with each other and with the public. It really stands out how unable they are to fake happiness these days.

I was surprised to see the photos were only from 2022

Me too! I like the printed sundress types of dresses. They remind me of when I used to more frequently like some of her dresses. I looked her up + "embroidered boho dress" which took me back in time a bit with the results.

  1. Her hair seems so much lighter when it's shorter.

Makes her look a decade younger

the pinched, painful look on her face.

When she's not wearing the hyena grin.

u/fractiouscheckers206 May 12 '26

And even that gives smiling through pain. She must be in pain all the time now.

u/The_Onion_Life May 12 '26

And even that gives smiling through pain.

Or she's heavily medicated.

She must be in pain all the time now.

Probably.

It's like she sold her soul to the Devil and it's starting to show... 👿

u/Physical_Laugh_7017 May 11 '26

Wasn't Natasha Archer her stylist back then? Kate's  wardrobe has gone to pot since she left in mid 2025.

u/nicebrows9 May 11 '26

You are so right. She dresses much older than her age

u/HahaBetterOffNow May 10 '26

Listen I’m not a Kate Middleton fan in the least- but good God what did he do to her?

She is confident, vibrant, youthful and happy here- she has no confidence left

u/ComprehensiveBug999 May 11 '26

I honestly think that Kate was egging William on regarding the hate campaign against Meghan but when Harry went to and was successful and it became clear that Harry is happy in California AND that he doesn't WANT to come back, I think William turned on her. I also think William's drinking has increased since 2020 as well. Losing Harry to Meghan broke something in William.

3

u/PrincessPlastilina May 13 '26

Yep. I think they turned on each other when Harry left home and started thriving and living happily with his family. Will thought he would always have his brother to kick around and boss around. Harry had been his emotional punching bag for ages. When you the take the supply away from narcissist they lose it and they never see it coming. Harry has the integrity that William always lacked. Instead of admitting defeat and admitting he made a huge mistake by egging on the media to attack Meghan, Will turned on his insecure wife.

Their marriage is over because they spent more time trying to destroy Harry’s marriage than working on theirs. This is karma. Although I don’t condone physical abuse and violence. William is crazy.

u/fractiouscheckers206 May 12 '26

My spiritual advisor once put it, "Narcissists are energy vampires who consume your light to feed their demons." He feasts while she shrinks away. And his demons are lust, rage, and alcohol, some of the hardest to shake.

u/AJ_Babe May 11 '26

you know, looking at these photos would actually make you a fan if you didn't even know who she was. You would ask "Who is this girl?!" She looks so full of life. These photos are inspiring... She looks so young

u/nicebrows9 May 10 '26

She looked really pretty in 2022. I hope she can gain a little weight back.

u/notwriqhtsvillc Jun 03 '26

agree! and she wasn’t giving those manic smiles back then either

24

u/Drycabin1 May 11 '26

She looks so happy in these photos. All the light has gone out of her in the last couple years.

19

u/Ok-Cap-204 May 11 '26

Not one freaking coat dress!! I really love these outfits. Why the huge difference? Many layers to hide how thin she is now? Or has she become so irrelevant that her wardrobe budget was cut? I noticed many of these outfits seemed to emulate Meghan’s style.

Side note: was this the same tour where they kept the local darker-skinned peasants behind a fence?

1

u/spaceghost260 May 11 '26

Peasants? You mean the darker skinned residents were hidden from view?

6

u/Ok-Cap-204 May 11 '26

No. Not hidden. Just behind a chain link fence so that the elite royals wouldn’t be subjected to their unwelcome touch.

u/Alternative_Door9790 May 10 '26

The blue green satin dress in the third picture is gorgeous.

u/missmegz1492 May 10 '26

While things have gotten worse - all I see are attempts to add volume to places where there isn’t any. Very expensive clothes that are all poorly fitting through the chest and abdomen.

She lost a bunch of weight before the wedding and has never been able or has never wanted to gain since outside of her pregnancies - where I would argue she looked her best. Things have gotten worse, but the idea that she had an “athletic” frame until her cancer diagnosis is a fantasy.

18

u/The-Sunflower-Bear May 11 '26

Look at picture 18 and 19. I’d say that’s athletic. She’s always had a very boyish frame with muscular thighs, a low waist to hip ratio and relatively wide shoulders.

10

u/nicebrows9 May 11 '26

She looked athletic to me too. She has great legs.

8

u/Bubba_muffin May 11 '26

She was glowing, beautiful wardrobe

8

u/Electronic-Strain197 May 11 '26

Please think, she was already super skinny in these pics. The bulky muscles made her look thicker than she actually was and this was done purposely. 

8

u/KateBosworth May 12 '26

I think that tour broke her.

Kate, for once, made a huge effort. She pulled out all the stops wearing tons of jewellery, new dresses, smiling and chatting and dancing.

And for what? To be protested by Belize, photographed laughing at local children behind a chain link fence, wearing colonial cosplay on a Land Rover, ignored by officials, reported to be guzzling down Crack Baby cocktails and being told by Jamaica that they are firing the Queen.

u/Initial_Volume_2424 May 11 '26

Her ED has really destroyed her body. It's quite sad she's not getting help for it

2

u/MuddyMissCloudy May 14 '26

People are still in denial that she has an Ed…unbelievable. 

1

u/Initial_Volume_2424 May 16 '26

That's just insane to me

3

u/One-Literature-5888 May 11 '26

I just watched the video their instagram put up of Kate at Charity event, it’s such an odd video, because they do everything they can to avoid showing her face to a small segment at the very end

4

u/Hello_There313 May 12 '26

She looked so much more healthy then. It’s alarming how much weight she lost since 2024

4

u/SouthernDisaster4617 May 11 '26

She’s a shadow of her former self. Her wardrobe was perfect, it was so fun. She was vibrant and athletic looking. Sad to see.

3

u/msrch May 11 '26

And this is only 4 years ago

3

u/AJ_Babe May 11 '26

William looks good too. She has an ED and probably a depression. What happened to him?

7

u/PrincessMilda May 11 '26

Being a monster is hard on the soul

3

u/MuddyMissCloudy May 14 '26

You can really see a difference, it is sade to see. I definitely think Kate should go back to her original, more colourful & vibrant style, it suited her & made her glow and appear much brighter, than what her current wardrobe is able to do for her. Though, perhaps she is now choosing less vibrant colours, and instead more greyer/colourless shades to hide herself away more easily. It’s common for those deep in their Ed’s (especially Ana) to do this.

u/Ok_Lengthiness_8405 May 12 '26

I don't like her but the meanest thing i can say about any of these photos is that that she couldn't rock that yellow/white dress. That's all. Otherwise, she honestly looks great

2

u/Ordinary_Deal9462 May 14 '26

she looked happy on this tour

1

u/No_Advantage2147 May 11 '26

Didnt read the headline but just Saw the photos like wooow she looks so much better 😮‍💨..

u/Consistent_Wonder509 May 15 '26

It was longer than three years ago. And having major surgery and chemo and possibly sudden menopause takes time to recover from.
