She could wear a sack and look amazing! She is just so lovely! The Aston Martin that they drove to their reception in...Prince William forgot to take the parking brake off!
That was Charles' vintage Aston Martin. Bet he wasn't too happy about Wills grinding the gearbox down the Mall. Poor guy must've been full of nervous excitement with his being the most watched wedding in history and his gorgeous bride next to him. Catherine looked flawless and hee wedding dress is my absolute favorite. I thought Grace Kelly's wedding dress was beautiful, classic, elegant, and respectful. Catherine's was like Grace's but obviously updated with the times with just enough of a modern edge such as the deeper V neckline all while retaining that vintage sophisticated style and all the adjectives I used describing Grace's dress. And the lace with the hook-and-eye buttons wity the little modern bustle and the sheer, simple veil. I loved tgat she didn't overdo the lace on the veil or gown and just recently read that the lace is specially handmade in England at special school or atilier for lace (if there is such a thing) that in the hand embroidered lace Catherine and the designer had the official state flower of each of the U.K. countries (Wales, England, Scotland, and Ireland--as a substitute for Northern Ireland) embroidered on the lace that she wore. I do wish she would've gotten a better tiara...a slightly taller one or wider one as the Cartier Halo is fairly narrow and short. (Hated Megnut's tiara. To me it's one of the worst in the Royal Collection. And don't get me started on her dress!!! Yikes. And she absolutely should NOT have been wearing white or any shades of white, ivory, creme, etc. She should've worn grey like Camilla did or even silver...as someone on their third marriage and approaching 40 looked a bit ridiculous, mainly the whole virginal blushing bride when Meg has been around the block or two.
KELSEY K. How rude are you it figures you are unable to be nice compliments you give and then at rhe end your true colors come out. About Meghan is that who you meant. Megan wore a very nice dress there are people that liked her dress and wedding. I try not to be jealous to bad Prince Harry married Meghan and has a family now .. he is off the marker. Meghan is a nice looking well spoken women.
What I would love to see Prince William and Princess Catherine do one year is take some of that money and send Christmas Baskets to the poor !!! Now that would be money 💰 well spent and would really put them 2 out there in good Graces with the people 💯‼️💖
What? Only $8,000 for each child. In the United States a private school easily starts at $25,000 a year before extras and up. Socialization? Priceless.
So funny!!!! Kate is quite happy to wear High street - in clothes and jewellery as is often mentioned in the mags. The problem then arises as the High Street stores run out of particular garments! And following family traditions.... Kate re cycles clothes and every outfit has at least one often several outings. I think the Queens fave handbag is 60 years old now? Still serves it's purpose so why change? Good try at dissing them - but it doesn't really work when you have a memory.
As someone else has mentioned here she wears those outfits more than once. Also many of her jewels are borrowed from the Queens collection. The Duchess also wears non-precious jewellery too. You can find those ones in the High Street shops and they are often inexpensive so she doesn't just champion high end British goods.
Yes, and also costume jewelry found at vintage or antique shops. Good costume jewelry is sometimes more expensive than actual gemstones. Love costume jewelry!!!
For those asking how they make so much money here’s how : Kate still is a part of her family’s multimillion pound business , so makes most of the money from it . Whereas for William and the whole Royal Family : the whole country’s tax payers only pay for their met police security and foreign tours. When they purchase something they pay from their own pockets which is the they have got through their investments in a 1000 year old duchy that are lands that have been developed and have been looked after by the royal institution for 1000 years . For us as taxpayers it costs less than a pound which means all together we pay them 60 million pounds but in return they invest the money back into the country through lands/duchy and bring over 2 billion pounds each year into the country’s economy . Now that’s a pretty good investment
No they are not allowed to accept gifts like that. That why Meg had issues as she was used to getting free dresses etc in turn for promoting it. Which is perfectly normal for actors/celebrities but it is against protocol for Royals.
A $1,400 ring after the birth of William is not an extravagant gift. Actually, it's pretty cheap for diamonds. $4.5m and $1.5m on renovations for 2 very old and historic British buildings is not that extravagant either.
She could NOT have had a big one , because it would have scratched Princess Diana's ring! I had the same issue with mine and my husband bought a very slim eternity ring not to scratch the engagement ring. it's just technical
Why buy jewels when they have access to the royal jewel vaults? Diana was criticized for her profligate spending, being called in an early biography a "right royal shopaholic". Jackie Kennedy snapped at a reporter who asked her about the reported $250K she spent on clothes, saying, "I couldn't spend that much if I wore sable underwear!" The fact is, these are working wardrobes, and a sum is provided high profile individuals (both Kate's and Meghan's clothing allowance came from Clarence House and Jackie Kennedy's was provided by old Joe Kennedy) for their working wardrobes. Even the USA provides a FLOTUS wardrobe allowance when a POTUS isn't a very wealthy man...
There is no double standard .Megan is the wife of the Harry who is 6th in line for the throne .Catherine is the wife of William who is second in line and she is a future Queen.It follows that Catherine is more important / significant than her sister in law and that rankles with the ambitious newcomer .The press make out there is rivalry between the 2 ladies but I think the rivalry arises from just one person and it is not Williams wife.
@U Slavic I did a little research. A grammer school is a secondary school for kids 11 and older, with high academic grades. Kind of like middle and highschool here, with all AP classes. 😊 Usually, kids who want to attend University go there. Kids with lower grades, or who want to learn a trade, would attend secondary modern schools. A lot of European countries have similar secondary education systems.
@@victorias_fav4ritethings Your research is not very good. You are years out of date. The system you talk about with secondary modern schools and grammar schools existed in the past in the 1970s, not now. Then, you took a test, the '11 Plus'. If you passed this test, you went to a grammar school and got a better education and life prospects. If you failed, you went to a secondary modern. This whole system was socially divisive and was scrapped for the comprehensive school system, set up to provide a good education for everyone, regardless of ability. This schooling is free schooling, provided by the state. Grammar schools do still exist in some areas and clever children are cherry picked by these schools so that they have a brilliant exam record and can be top of the school league tables. Public schools are fee paying schools where rich and elite people send their children. Their fees have always been high but have recently become astronomical because of the influx of the children of Chinese and Russian billionaires. An example of a public school is Eton, which Boris Johnson attended. Private schools are also fee paying schools.
They don’t spend millions! They’re gifted a lot of the things because they act as live billboards and designers, jewelers, decorators etc. give free so they can get noticed.
@@arundhatiyhuhbygbgbyg I understand and know that part but it’s mainly FAMILY jewels that have been handed down. They also own diamond mines so again. They’re not spending millions when they own the company/businesses and clothing no doubt is gifted to them on a regular and there are no trillionaires
@@arundhatiyhuhbygbgbyg You’re right! Except special occasions and or weddings but you are absolutely right about the clothing. They cannot accept stuff like that BUT their jewels are not worth trillions. Just billions
I can’t see her ever wearing a dress under 6 or 7 hundred dollars. Wearing them two or three times really does not make her spending any better. Our princess is a high roller. Don’t start in on me that’s just my opinion and it’s not a judgement it’s just a statement.
William and Catherine will continue donating and backing funds. Taxed and if Funding groups and sectors were brought forward to take it into building up will not be pushed away. Compared to other Royals I see a big difference as where cash should be diverted because of Catherine.
@Christina Bonvillian doing a job as a duchess, go search what she have done before u comment and saying badthings jeez, you’re a weird meghan supporter pls even though u support meghan but dont hating on the RF cause you’ll never know both story
Reuse not Refused. Good behaviour teaching kids. Most media speaks about is all inherited. Also she did not come from a cheap family. Parents worked and earned all they have. Save and live happily.
The tuition for top universities in America are very beginning expensive Our sons tuition was 60,000 dollars per year. The education was well worth it. My daughter is attending a state school which is 24,000 yr plus rental of of an off campus apt after sophomore year and it stinks
@@livie1673 the tax payers money is used for their state tours and security. The money they use for their daily life is from their investments they make in 1000 years old huge properties that have been looked after by their past generations for over centuries.
The Royal family bring in over a billion pounds for the country every summer. Gee the Kardashians make more money than this but very little of it goes to charity yet none of you are squaking about that.
Will all the commentators please stop calling her Kate Middleton? She is now, and has been the Duchess of Cambridge for years.Did anyone call Diana,Diana Spencer after she got married? I don’t think so. It is so annoying. Please in future ,call her my her correct name and title as befits her status.
&135k isn’t an extravagant price for her annual wardrobe. It’s nobody’s business how much they spend on their children’s education. Tacky to mention it.
What a ridiculous headline! Why don’t you do a video on what Ivanka Trump spends on clothes? What private schools in the USA cost? How much did it cost the Obamas to educate their girls? Get a life!
Can you please stop with the “King and Queen of England”, The Kingdom of England was dissolved in 58 years before America got independence. You literally said they toured England, Scotland and Wales on the Royal Train , 2/3 are not England.
I'm thinking England, Iceland, Italy, Israel Is looking really good at the moment cuz America is being run into the ground and now we have Harry and what's her name bashing the Queen.
@@arundhatiyhuhbygbgbyg I think you will find that Scotland and Wales are part of Great Britain. England is also part of Great Britain. Your statement does not make sense.
