Are the British really okay with this? Or “indifferent,” as they keep saying, which comes to the same thing?

Some of us are very angry but the right wing media have things pretty well sewn up. At least the (estimated – we know she loves to ‘bespoke’ stuff) numbers are being shared publicly. A great look when so many don’t even have to choose between eating or heating now as they can’t afford either.

Yes, I think it is part of the “invisible contract” where Pegs & Buttons are untouchable.

Agree SarahCS, it boils my p*ss that this vapid, useless woman spends the equivalent of a house on bad fashion for about 180 hours of work, if that, whilst the rest of us are going to work to keep warm but can’t really afford the fuel in our cars to get there but can’t afford to heat the house to work from home.

The way the article is presented is quite manipulative:”The future Queen has also continued to rewear and recycle some of her older favourite pieces, as well as donning pieces from high street stores like Zara, Hobbs and Mango. Meanwhile she also dipped into the rental market for the first time, opting to wear a piece from service Hurr to the Earthshot Prize”.. she’s the future queen, so she’s entitled and she was “humble”enough to wear repeats and cheaper clothes!! As long as it’s not the biracial duchess, everything is acceptable and without any criticism . .

@first comment: The DM is not being truthful here. Kate barely rewear clothes this year and for every engagement she had at least one new item.

@amybee she barely had any rewears bc she has no style and had to pay for her copykeening.

Queen consort, never a queen. Ever. Kate Middlebum? Sure.

And buying designer dresses or high street dresses is neither here nor there when new purchases are simply not needed. She could shop her closet for the next several years & be OK. She could alter any or all of it for something completely new. And learn to accessorize. I just saw a TV commercial for a charity saying something like ‘when you have a coat, you don’t think about it, but when you don’t have a coat, that’s all you think about’. What Kate does with her endless shopping is unconscionable in light of the hardships people have been enduring these last few years, in particular, and this winter.

I think that the coverage of this was a subtle dig at Kate.
They cannot be outrightly rude because of the invisible contract.
The Daily Express headline said…’Because she is worth it’…if it was Meghan they would have said she was extravagant even when she wore her own clothes. But the press in nevertheless begging the question if Kate is really worth all the money spent on her. They know the answer is a resounding NO…but they can’t say it.

Not after this twitter user’s Recent History Class about Kate’s fashions. 😘
One day we’re gonna talk about how after being responsible for the attacks that pushed Meghan to the brink of suicide Kate Middleton proceed to steal her entire persona pic.twitter.com/kBaLzoXJFS— Hannah (@queen_meghan14) December 20, 2022

At the time I thought some of them were coincidental (lots of people have a navy or beige coat for example) but side by side like that…yeah she’s totally copying Meghan.

The trousers were the clue. She never wore proper trousers until after Meghan showed up. Prior to that she wore jeggings for the sporty events but never a trouser that a woman with a job would have worn.

Yeah when the pics are wide by side like that it’s hard to argue she’s not copying, especially as so many items
Pictured are new. It’s not like she used to wear certain sweaters with skirts and is now styling them differently so it looks like Meghan. She’s buying entire new outfits to copy her.
And it’s why I don’t give her the benefit of the doubt when it comes to copying. For example the Coach Core event where Kate was in that Chanel blazer. Some said that wasn’t a copy but it 100% was.
The only pass I give her sometimes is when people insist she’s wearing a brand bc of Meghan and it’s a brand she was worn before (like I think someone said Kate wore Jimmy Choos recently as a copy of M but Kate has worn JC before). That’s just for brands though, not for styles. (And obviously some brands ARE m copies).

Catherine the Wait has NEVER done anything first. No style of her own, always copying either Diana and now Meghan.
God, I hope somewhere William has an older brother somewhere maybe with one of Charlie’s old flings wouldn’t that be delicious?

The press haven’t told the public to be angry because it’s not the mixed race Duchess & in fact the express said Kate was worth the money on its front page. So the public as a whole aren’t outraged.
It’s also interesting that the CB posters who used to discuss the optics about Meghan’s wardrobe in much better economic times aren’t chiming in. Just more proof that people resent Black/mixed race women having nice things.

No, not ok with middleton. It is why I joined this site. I think she is lazy and uninterested but it is the fact she does so few engagements but takes so much that gets me. She and William should be out all over Britain, meeting ordinary people, doing ordinary engagements. The other royals have always done this but not our precious two.
