DoC - why Chanel????

[Justasec321]

Foreign trips are such an incredible opportunity to showcase all things Brit.

She in particular can really elevate all of it.

Why wear bloody Chanel?

I think she stunning and wears clothers very well.

I also think she is very respectful of her role and does not dress for attention.

I agree, i just don’t care what labels they are etc

SB is definately one of our top talenst but not our only one.

and Fashion is a very international business - didn't we vote to stop being so international? Didn't we vote to bring iot all back on shore again?

Quite the hill to die on.

We didn’t all vote for that, no.

didn't we vote to stop being so international? Didn't we vote to bring iot all back on shore again?

You might have. I didn't.

I agree OP. 100%

I didn't either actually! By WE I mean the country!

I am not at all sucessful in explaining myself!

It just seems that we as a country are struggling. Across all sectors. We have Covid consequences, Brexit consequences, war in Ukraine, Russia - the lot. We are trying to get trade deals, to figure out our post Brexit world. All hands need to be on deck.

And part of that would be (to me) promoting all things British by high profile public figures as much as possible and as often as possible especially when abroad!

And if you think about it - often when the anti royals state their claim the answer is "they bring in millions in tourisim". That can surely translate to clothing industry.

You’ll be very pleased to see she’s wearing an Emilia Wickstead dress and carrying a Mulberry bag for her trip to Harvard today, OP.

Not dying @daisyjgrey , just discussing something that interests me.

WooHoo!!

Great - and I mean that. It is GREAT.

😁

This is true Math but it is also hair splitting in a way. If she was not the PoW she would not be featured on any papers right?

Nobody really reads papers any more. In any case, there are lots of people in the papers who are not the PoW.

What coverage there is is online, and you would have to seek it out. If you did, you would find headlines like
'Prince William and Kate make first US trip in eight years as racism controversy simmers back home' - this from CNN.

Americans are not that interested in the RF per se, but they are interested in problems in the RF. People in Boston have turned out to see them, certainly. But the details about British fashion, etc, are really only of interest in the UK.

Thank God, that’s Covid, Brexit and Russia solved in one outfit.

They’re there to award an environmental prize, therefore rewearing clothing is totally appropriate.

I wondered that too @Justasec321,
I mentioned the fact that I had not seen her with a Chanel bag before on the Royal Fashion thread on Mumsnet but apparently there are photos of her with it in the past so a "rewear" 🙄
I do love a Chanel handbag but it was a great opportunity to show case a British designed or British made bag.
She could have had a De Mellier New York bag in the mini version from a UK company. I lust after it
I'm neither British or French.
I'm Irish and when our First Lady and our former female Presidents are / were on State and semi state visits at home and abroad they try and showcase Irish designed and made ( if possible) outfits/ accessories.
I see Kate wore UK items today.

Double standards, isn't it? I've always thought that about the British media. This obsession with what women in the public eye are wearing, and (all too frequently) where they have made a faux-pas.

With the almost sole exception of David Beckham, male sartorial choices never get picked apart, do they?

That green dress!! Omg she looked amazing
