Wasn't Charles there last night? how is he going to make the funeral? Leap on plane straight after the dinner? Bit stressful!

Kate in trousers today for Cyprus visit.

Worth scrolling through for the pic of HM with the Pope (from years ago - John Paul's predecessor?). 'OK, all black... fine, but one will also be wearing ALL THE SPARKLY SPARKLES'

"Le privilège du blanc" must be about the only "honour" the Queen doesn't have!

Those are very Markesque trousers that Kate is wearing!

Agree @FlyMaybe, both duchesses can go a bit heavy on the blush and highlighter. Kate and Megs, if you're watching us then blend blend blend!

ooh good spot myrtle! Those are some very Megan-esque trousers! Love them (From what i can see)

Do you think Kate stole them from megz when they were tearing each others hair out in their 'feud'?!

CooksMatches2 · 05/12/2018 13:04

Is this the first time we’ve seen Kate in wide leg trousers? LOVE! WANT!

QueenOfTheAndals · 05/12/2018 13:04

Well they wouldn't be fitting Megs now anyway so glad someone is getting some use out of them! They're very mid-noughties Jennifer Aniston too.

Loving the green of this jacket!!

BlingLoving · 05/12/2018 13:07

OMG. I have been waiting FOREVER for kate to wear smart/formal trousers to an event (ie not jeans to a casual/sporting event). And I was convinced that once Meghan came along she might be able to because, not withstanding feud stories, with two of them the pressure is a little bit off and they can each ride the others' coat tails at some point. Oh my god, I'm so excited. These trousers look fantastic. And I love the belt.

CooksMatches2 · 05/12/2018 13:08

I want the belt. Where is the belt from please. I am LOVING this look!!!

BlingLoving · 05/12/2018 13:08

William is wearing brown suede shoes? Is it just me who finds that a bit naff?

BlingLoving · 05/12/2018 13:11

Someone (on one of these threads I think) commented once that Kate might stick to dresses and skirts because she looks best in them. But these trousers still make her legs look endless.

BriocheBriocheBrioche · 05/12/2018 13:20

I love her outfit today.
I want it all!

SenecaFalls · 05/12/2018 13:28

That's a bit of Meghan green too. Kate looks fantastic. I have to say, I do like her more casual styles better than the cost dress Anne Boleyn hat look.

owlshooting · 05/12/2018 13:30

That's a great outfit. Such a nice change from the usual. I love her hair as well. What's so noticeable all the time with this pair is how in tune they are. It's really lovely to see.

Want2bSupermum · 05/12/2018 13:34

The icing on the cake will be when DofC swaps clothes with the DofS. Now that would end the 'feud' and shut the journalists up for a long time.

Honestly the papers are so dull and borning. Truth be told it's going to be a hard transition and yes she pissed a lot of people off at the start because she didn't know what she was getting into. She has learned and has changed her behavior. As I said on the previous thread, people make mistakes and it's when they don't learn from them that there is an issue.

The media are making themselves wholly irrelevant by going after her like this. It's nasty. It's particularly cruel given she is pregnant.

frugalkitty · 05/12/2018 13:36

Kate looks much fresher in this outfit than in some of her usual coat dresses. Really like the green on her too.

Gooseysgirl · 05/12/2018 13:39

I think Kate looks fantastic - this is first time that I can think of where she's worn proper tailored trousers rather than casual trousers/trackies/jeans. I hope she uses this look again. I really didn't like tartan/cardi combo yesterday.

QueenOfTheAndals · 05/12/2018 13:39

A better look at Kate's outfit. I don't think the trousers are flared, it's just the wind in the first photo that's making them look like that.

OP posts:
QueenOfTheAndals · 05/12/2018 13:40

Oh yes @Gooseysgirl, I definitely prefer this to yesterday's House of Bruar skirt!

Want2bSupermum · 05/12/2018 13:45

I agree that today's outfit is a million times better than yesterday's. Today is very akin to the design style of Victoria Beckham's label. It's classic good tailoring and it helps that DofC is very tall.

I think Michelle Obama would be an excellent person for DofS to speak with. If there is anyone who knows how to silence critics it's her. I loved her comment about Sheryl Sandberg too. It was an absolute classic moment of lucidity in a sea of craziness.

AdaColeman · 05/12/2018 14:10

A very good choice of outfit to travel in for Kate. We all wear comfortable trousers for plane journeys, airports can be gusty windy places!

TipseyTorvey · 05/12/2018 14:10

Kate actually looks young funky and gorgeous in that get up rather than the rather usual prim look. I mean she always looks beautiful because she is, but waaay more stylish in 'modern' clothing. I do hope the idea that ladies can only wear sensible skirts fades soon so she can be more fabulous more often.

DontCallMeCharlotte · 05/12/2018 14:21

I don't think the trousers are flared, it's just the wind in the first photo that's making them look like that. I need to see a picture of the trousers not being windswept because that picture almost made me recoil!

But it is really nice to see her in something completely different.

As for the blusher etc, it brings to mind this...
