Fringe Flashback: Kate Middleton At The 2006 Boodles Boxing Ball [PHOTOS]

November 30th, 2012 // Leave a Comment

The year was 2006.  Kate Middleton was just 13 months out of university and dating Prince William.  She had (and has maintained) a teensy-tiny waist and showed it off in a BCBG Max Azaria gown at the Boodles Boxing Ball in London.

The fringe Catherine is currently sporting made its first big appearance at this charity event.

The only reason people are falling over themselves now is because once upon a time, they didn’t pay much mind to the slight alteration in her hair do.

Middleton was a fixture at the Boodles Boxing Ball, an annual charity boxing match held to raise money for various foundations over the years.  The event, attended by many a London blue blood, started with a simpler concept in 2002.  Read More »

Kate ‘Squeak’ Middleton Wears Tartan McQ On St. Andrew’s Visit, Keeps It Chic On The Pitch [PHOTOS]

November 30th, 2012 // 1 Comment

In the words of Joey Essex, the Duchess of Cambridge looked #REEM today in Berkshire, England.  She arrived at St. Andrew’s School, her old stomping grounds, to the delight of students and staff.  Today marks St. Andrew’s Day, a bank holiday in Scotland, and a day observed by the primary school with festivities and “progressive games” played by both students and teachers.

The children – ranging in age from 2 to 6 – were dressed in their school uniforms, which Catherine smartly matched in her black watch tartan McQ coat.  My gals What Kate Wore and My Small Obsessions confirmed that Catherine also wore her trusty Aquatalia boots, Diana’s blue sapphire earrings and a black clutch she’s had since 2008.

Speaking to the students, Catherine asked if they kept pets at school, which she and sister, Pippa did many years ago; Catherine attended St. Andrews from 1986 until 1995.

“There was one called Pip and one called Squeak, because my sister was called Pippa and I was Squeak,” the Duchess told them.

Catherine opened a new astroturf playing field by unveiling a plaque and playing a game of field hockey.  In her heels.  Didn’t break a sweat.  Read More »

On this week’s episode of The Duchess Diary, we flipped through some royal photos published exclusively on Clarence House’s site, and got to know a more personal side of Catherine.

We also had a lot of fun looking at her top notch outfit repeats (LK Bennett and Mulberry), as well as a touching moment for Prince William at Millenium Stadium in Cardiff.

How about HRH’s new hair do?  People have had their say online about Catherine’s new fringe, but it’s not a drastic change from the gorgeous hair we know and love.   Read More »

Dear me.  Once upon a time, a man could be tried for treason and beheaded for calling a duke a “douche” (albeit accidentally).

Luckily, CBS 2 anchor Rob Morrison can just laugh it off over a domestic beer, and toast to his good fortune that his people are no longer under the crown.  Morrison was teasing an upcoming segment on William and Catherine’s visit to Cambridge during yesterday’s midday news, but accidentally referred to His Royal Highness as the “douche” rather than “duke.”

Quite frankly, the only thing Morrison is guilty of is reading the teleprompter too quickly.  Still, this makes for a fantastic story, doesn’t it?

His co-anchor, Mary Calvi, didn’t fare any better.  Rather than clean up after Morrison, she called William “Prince Harry” and Catherine “Princess Kate.”  I know it’s live television, but you guys are supposed to be sharper than this.

November 28th, 2012 // Leave a Comment

Absolutely Fabulous star and comedienne Helen Lederer walked the red carpet at tonight’s comedy gala, We Are Most Amused, put on in support of The Prince’s Trust at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

After I got over the initial shock of eyeliner overdose, I couldn’t help but notice how lovely Lederer’s necklace was.

Leder is a patron of The Prince’s Trust, launched in 1976 to help change the lives of disadvantaged young men and women.  Tonight’s event featured performances by Joan Rivers, Jimmy Carr, Rowan Atkinson, Ed Byrne, Milton Jones, Omid Djalili, Sanjeev Bhaskar and Lederer.

Ah, and there is the Duchess of Cornwall and her knight in shining armor, Prince Charles.
