Oh no, it's a thumbs down fron me on that one! Lovely colour, but crumpled and I'm not keen on the style. Don't like the shoes either.
As @chest says, it looks very last day of the holiday and only clean thing left to wear!

Definitely not a good pic Alwayscheerful my M&S one is a more definite shirt dress so less dishevelled (I hope!)

Here's the Rixo dress (although it looks like separates), Castanet wedge espadrilles and pink clutch. I have to say I'm partial to a wedge espadrille. Most comfy in the heat.

I’ve enjoyed catching up with all the outfits.

Is it just me or has Kate dyed her hair a shade darker? Maybe it’s just the sunny photos but it does look like it to me.

Maireas · 26/03/2022 18:54

I agree, it's a bit crumpled.

Maireas · 26/03/2022 18:57

I think so, @4geraniums, I think it's a little too dark, though.

C&C

  • visited a horse stud cos horses
  • visited a gardening cooperative movement (Grow It Yourself)
  • visited Waterford, a medieval city
  • met with the family of Aishling Murphy, a young schoolteacher recently murdered here.
Maireas · 26/03/2022 19:06

I saw them at the Waterford crystal place.

The tour has been positively, if quietly received.

Maireas · 26/03/2022 19:07

Nice that they met with the family of Aisling Murphy.

C & C looked like they were having the craic in Tipperary.
They were on tv - RTE news - the Irish state funded tv channel (but we have a license fee and ads ) .
I was gobsmacked that they or the people they were interacting with weren't wearing masks despite Omicron widespread here in Ireland. I bet the elderly man who was dancing with Camilla never ever dreamt that he would dance with the future Queen of England. Grin

HeyGirlHeyBoy · 26/03/2022 19:48

Not just cos horses but cos Cheltenham Gold Cup winner! Grow it Yourself is amazing and I can't believe they didn't also eat there, as well as visit, as the food is incredible. I thought meeting Ashling Murphy's family was unusual but obviously they were happy to do it and that is the only thing that matters. Lots of good pics on their @ClarenceHouse twitter handle.

MotherofPearl · 26/03/2022 20:17

I really don't like that pink outfit of Kate's at all. I don't care for pink, and animal print of any kind gives me the shudders.

However, I'm in total agreement with you @Maireas about that Wimbledon look - that's her best hair style hands down. And I love the yellow dress.

StartupRepair · 26/03/2022 20:19

I loved that ice blue dress. Would have liked to see it with some stonking aquamarine jewellery.

Bearsbearsbears40 · 26/03/2022 20:29

Tbh, at this stage of the tour Kate just looks a bit exhausted! And probably not a surprise if the stories about jet lag and coordinating everything at home are true 😴. Not a fan of the pink dress either, it just isn’t sitting right with those wedges…

frugalkitty · 26/03/2022 20:38

I really like the colour of the pink dress but that's about it I'm afraid. It doesn't work for me but I can't put my finger on exactly why.

MotherofPearl · 26/03/2022 20:46

I bet they're looking forward to getting home, and to seeing their children. I spent a week away from my DC last November and couldn't wait to see them when I got home.

KillingMeDeftly · 26/03/2022 20:55

@Alwayscheerful

I'm sorry but I think the outfit is messy.
The espadrilles are the same colour as her legs and at first I thought she was wearing boots!
gluenotsoup · 26/03/2022 20:56

I think she looks tired now. The same pink isn’t inspiring me, it’s like the queenly version of “ffs, can I go home now??”
@ maireas- I’ll have a celebrity rethink😂
@ @Eaumyword, in my head you are Kate winslet 😁

LadyEloise1 · 26/03/2022 20:58

The ice blue dress was beautiful. I love ice blue satin and silk.

SeaRabbit · 26/03/2022 21:22

...the stories about jet lag and coordinating everything at home

What stories are these please?

There was a story in the DM today (sorry!) about Kate still sorting stuff out at home - kids stuff, bedtimes, Charlotte’s ballet classes etc - while away on the tour: apologies, I can’t find the specific link right now though…

In real life I'm more like a cross between Sophie Winkleman's older, fatter, less attractive sister and Kirstie Allsopp! Blush Grin
Eaumyword · 26/03/2022 22:12

I do like Will&Kate and believe she is a hands on and very loving mum but...
I can't believe she'd be heavily involved whilst away on a work tour abroad - I imagine she's the type of person who would plan extensively ahead and to be fair, there will be an army of trusted staff, school being supportive plus probably her parents to oversee everything at home.

KillingMeDeftly · 26/03/2022 22:13

Yes, surely that's what the nanny and housekeeper are for?
