Kate's dresses to save the union!

Remember when it was reported that Edward was moving to Scotland in a bid to save the union? It's now being reported that Kate's tartan fashion choices are to be interpreted as simple.

Is it just me or is this bizarre? Would this really influence people?

Prince William met with Gordon Brown and CH4 were asked not to record it. Bizarre!

Haha yea I saw that! It's so strange. Why is it always Gordon Brown that comes to save the day? I'm just stunned that anyone would think that voters would be swayed by Kate's choice of dress!

But she wore tartan! And blue !
We should probably organise a Clap for her.

I suppose the kind of people who think Scottish people are thick and don't remember their history.

I think the papers are bored and will speculate about literally everything apparently including the colour of dress Kate wears!

Not unusual for the royal family to wear tartan either it's just usually on their balmoral estate in their August holiday!

RickiTarr · 29/05/2021 17:52

When was Edward going to move to Scotland?! How strange.

colouringcrayons · 29/05/2021 17:59

Royal Family need to be careful about getting too embroiled in what is going to be a very fraught few years.

forfucksakenett · 29/05/2021 18:11

@RickiTarr I don't think it was serious. The fail were reporting it a couple of months before the Scottish election.

Ah, I see.

Squiginawig · 29/05/2021 18:33

If any of the royals were to move to Scotland I would have thought Anne would be the best bet given her support for the Scottish rugby team!
As a Scot, many, many things would influence my voting intentions; Kate's choice of dress design is never going to be one of them!

ResilienceWanker · 29/05/2021 20:36

Hang on. What are we voting for now then?! Surely she's either too late or waaay too early to subtly prod our voting choices? And which political party or referendum option is represented by tartan anyway? "Vote Traditional Scottish Textile In A Checked Pattern Party"? (of course, Harris Tweed would be right Off Message). Or is she just reminding us that we are in Scotland, maybe, and therefore should vote using whichever of the very many electoral system we should be using in Scotland at any particular time? Weird...

Ah, but the fail you say. That explains it. Weird it is.

Maybe there’s an idea afoot to rush IndyRef2 through quickly well everyone is skint and depressed, hoping to save the Union and put the whole issue to bed for 30 years?

ScotlandUnited · 30/05/2021 07:26

Oh FFS, she was just dressing to reflect where she's going and be respectful. She wore a Canadian maple leaf once didn't she? And she wears Green when visiting Ireland. Stop making everything about independence. As for Gordon Brown (who I know), he does a lot of work regarding economic recovery and poverty and I'm pretty sure there would be a non-union reason for them meeting.

Daily fail in non headline headline shocker Shock

charliebrown59 · 30/05/2021 14:48

yeah hard to get excited about this, Kate M always wears stuff that reflects the place she's visiting. I'm sure at some point the daily mail must've published one story that wasn't made up nonsense at best, but I struggle to think of one.

This!

Also they constantly declare she's chosen specific outfits to pay "respect" to her deceased MIL Hmm surely it's all just bloody clothes!

forfucksakenett · 30/05/2021 19:19

It's staggering the shit they come up with.

It's bollocks but here we are discussing it. Ultimate tabloid aim.
