On May 10, 2022, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended the official opening of Glade of Light Memorial at Manchester Arena in Manchester. The Glade of Light Memorial commemorates the victims of the terrorist attack that took place after an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena on May 22, 2017.
The monument incorporates a garden for remembrance and reflection, including a hawthorn tree which will bloom around the time of the anniversary each year. The Duke and Duchess visited Manchester Cathedral where they met some of the bereaved families and those involved in the response effort in a private reception.

Pretty harrowing event for the Duke and Duchess, given the age of many of the victims. Fashion wise, I have always liked this coat dress--smart, sophisticated, perfect length, perfect fit. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteIt's becoming more and more apparent that with the Queen's unfortunate mobility limitations playing out on a day-by-day basis, senior royals are having to step up their game and adjust their schedules at the last moment. Prince William already had to attend the opening of Parliament this morning before heading off to Manchester for this event. They are all getting a lot of hard and fast experience right now in the changing pace of their future roles of monarchial duty.
ReplyDeleteCatherine looks appropriate in her 'go to' coat dress style here. It is holding up well for a dress that it almost 10 yrs old and I commend her for the re-wear.

I love Kate's hair looks fabulous straight. Her coat dress is gorgeous believe it is a rewear but gosh thats great to recycle. Overall Kate looks fabulous as usual .Mary
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you Mary .
DeleteCette robe-manteau lui va toujours à merveille ; superbes ses nouvelles boucles d'oreilles créoles !
ReplyDeleteVery appropriate outfit from the Duchess for the solemn occasion. I like that she is wearing earrings featuring bees as they can symbolize resilience, new beginnings and rebirth.
ReplyDeleteJanet
The bee is the symbol of Manchester

Oh, she likes that kind of coat dresses but I think she wear them too often .

I like this coatdress, its appropriate for this occasion. The subtle necklace and gorgeous earrings blend in well.
ReplyDeleteI like long hair , I have myself long hair but Kate's hair started to look much too long. I do not see anything nice in it.
ReplyDeleteAva
Catherine looks solemn, elegant, classy and confident.
ReplyDeleteHer MK coat dress has good length - not too short, not too long, very pleasing proportions; good fit and color.
Her hair are in simple but beautiful hairstyle. And how thick and long her hair have grown. Her hair look gorgeous!

Totally agree with you, Kaarin!

ReplyDeleteLovely as usual.
Catherine's hairstyle from the back...absolutely beautiful... https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/images/prince-william-duke-of-cambridge-and-catherine-duchess-of-news-photo-1652191989.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&resize=980:*
ReplyDeleteA lovely way to memorialize the victims of an evil attack. Nothing will bring back the loved ones but they won't be forgotten and always will be loved.

you can see that she has an hair attachment , thats why it is soo long and has a bit lighter color
ReplyDeleteAhhh, I dislike the hair extensions. Nowdays you can never really know if someone has thick and long hair for real or she has an hair attachement (the same with the lashes).
DeleteI've grown my hair since pandemic started, so my hair are now nearly as long as Catherine's. I'm asked if I wear extensions, some people find it hard to believe that my hair are natural.
Catherine has thick hair just as her daughter, I wouldn't be surprised if her hair are natural. But I could be wrong and fooled ;)

Sober, stylish, welldressed couple,
ReplyDeleteMabe.
Same dress/coat that she has in many colors. It’s appropriate & classic, but boring and somewhat too drab.
