On September 7, 2022, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis of Cambridge, accompanied by their parents the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, started the new school year at Lambrook School near Ascot in Bracknell. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's children started their first day of school at Lambrook today, but yesterday the family attended a settling-in session for students and parents.
The three siblings are all attending the same school for the first time, with Prince Louis, 4 years old, starting in reception class in the pre-prep and Prince George, 9 years old and Princess Charlotte, 7 years old, joining in year five and year three respectively. The Duchess wore a new polka dot pleated shirt dress by Rixo.

I love her style, but the polka dot style is too much lately.
ReplyDeletepolka dots should not be worn by woman who has money and can get the best sylists in the world period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DeleteAnon 17:20, I think it all depends what a style of dress it is.

Waouh, qu'est-ce qu'ils ont grandi ; il est vrai que nous ne les avons pas vus depuis un certain temps ; c’est formidable de les voir tous les trois dans la même école. Toujours élégante Kate dans cette nouvelle robe-chemisier plissée dont les pois ne se démodent pas !
ReplyDeleteGood that they are starting at the new school together; not easy as they would have had friends at the other school. For little ones there can be high anxiety levels; not everybody will want to be their friends. Kate looks nice; the colour of the dress is a little matronly; but I do like the style, and I like her earrings. Prince William looks smart; never too sure about suede shoes.(Tara)
ReplyDeleteBritish royals and fashion is definitely not a good match.
ReplyDeleteOh get lost. She looks fine, it's not high fashion but polka dots are very in at the moment.
DeleteAnon 10:50, I don't see anything wrong with polka dots design. Besides that Catherine very often is dressed well .

@ Anon. 8/9 10:50
DeleteI didn't dare to say that, but I think the same as you.
Agree with Anon 10:50, it is not fashionable what they wear.
DeleteSplendida famiglia, i piccoli sono adorabili. Mi piace il vestito a pois di Kate, le sta bene anche il colore, perfetto con le scarpe.
ReplyDeleteChe dire? Dove c’è amore c’è anche tanta “bellezza”.

Lovely family. The duchess hair looks amaizing. And I like the dress too.
ReplyDeleteBoring dress
DeleteSuch a cute family and whatever Kate's wearing it seems to be so suitable for the occasion!
ReplyDeleteHow many polka dot dresses does a woman needs? But it suits her.
ReplyDeleteLovely family.
ReplyDeleteDepressing dress.
I have to agree. My first thought was this looks like a Depression Era dress, just sad. The color maybe? Not her best color, especially with no belt to break it up.
DeleteChel
Another polka dot dress in the same style as the other ones she has. Why always buy the same ? Does she have any inspiration left ?
ReplyDeleteHow many polka dot dresses a girl need ? And the children dressed like in the 50-ees. I prefer how the children are going to school in Europe in jeans and colorful T-shirts and/or sweatshirts/hoodies and trainers (white or in bright colors adapted to their outfit). They are children not museum pieces.
ReplyDeleteDo you not understand that Lambrook has a school uniform? The children are dressed perfectly properly and won’t have to worry about silly fashion trends at school.
DeleteThe Cambridge children are all three dressed according to the requirements of this particular school. And many schools in Europe are demanding a school uniform, too. It's not all free choice of clothing. The school (St. Thomas Battersea, London) where George and Charlotte went to before had a school uniform policy as well. It's still standard in the UK.
DeleteYou call her a "girl"?
DeleteIt's the school uniform.
DeleteAnd as a "free dress code" European school kid, I can assure you that having a uniform is much better.
The bullying derived from a simple "colorful t-shirts" is enormous. With a uniform, there are no rich or poor, there are no people with or without style. There are only students.
Did you really not realize that Cambigde children are dressed in school uniform?? So, first find out the facts and then criticize.
DeleteThe other children from this school also had the same uniform. I know that some schools, especially in Britain and the USA, require children to wear school uniforms (although here in Central Europe it is not customary).
Kate suits this style, although her polka dot outfit (black and white) at the memorial service for Prince Philip was better.

DeleteYes I realize it. I said I prefer the schools in (Western) Europe (in my town and other towns in my country) where the children can wear their own clothes like, jeans, t-shirts, hoodies, etc... The customs are not the same in every country. Talking about criticism you misspelled "Cambridge".
@Coralie Using 'girl' in that way is a colloquialism. It is fairly common to use 'girl' in very casual settings. It is not derogatory.
DeleteThx anonymous 16:29.
Delete@Anonymous8/9/22 15:02 ... totally agree ... school uniform and identical workwear (for example like nurses and many more) is great ... safes a lot of private money and there is no comparism who is wearing the most expensive and modern clothing.
DeleteSkinny Jeans and polo shirts, lol this is not Monaco
DeleteMs
@ Coralie, Name "girl" instead of "woman" is used very often in America
DeleteI fully agree with Anon 15:02. Many parents are in favor of a uniform, which simplifies the dressing of children.
DeleteStrange comments. In GB schools like this one have their own uniform and dress code. As for polka dot print, it suits her and she might just like it. No comparisons, but I do have at least a dozen in my wardrobe and love them.
ReplyDeleteI’m a huge fan of polka dots, searsucker stripes and gingham! Kate wears traditional clothing so well, love her style! MR
DeleteStrangely, I really like the polka dot dress.The kids' school uniforms are fine, I don't know what the complaint is here. What I'd like to know (and won't learn here, this being a fashion blog) is how the other parents were prepared for this - was there a security drill involving everybody? Were the parents forewarned?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, good luck to them and all the best for the coming school year to everybody here whom it concerns - parents, students, teachers. :-)
School uniforms are important, so all children are the same, no comparing clothes, shoes and style, specially with the e girls.. Kate's style is the same, a more relaxed style would be more comfortable fot the school run.. How much has George grown 😉
ReplyDeleteLovely family. God bless them. Kate's dressing is always decent as usual.
ReplyDeleteTotaly agree,
DeleteGod bless !
I love polka dots. There can never be enough polka dot dresses.
ReplyDeleteDuring 6 years I wore a uniform too when I went to school in Europe. I can assure you it was not pleasant at all. In the meantime all these schools (and I am talking about the better schools) do not ask their students to wear uniforms any more. The parents as well as the students were against it. The children of the royal family of my country didn't wear a school uniform, although they went to one of the best schools.
ReplyDeleteOh for goodness sake it's a school uniform not prison kit! There are good and bad schools with and without uniforms.
DeleteEvery school should have uniform for their students . It looks nice and their is no jealousy, envy who wear what. I never heard such a complain in my student years.
DeleteAva
seriously whats happening to kate she dresses like a 50 stepford wive!!!
ReplyDeleteShe is always bored dressed
DeleteThe Duchess looks lovely, a very appropriate dress, subtle but elegant.
ReplyDeleteNothing special about this dress.
DeleteWhy so many negative comments about Catherine polka dress? That kind of dresses are in fashion besides that she is taking children to school , she is not going to the ball in that dress. The dress is perfect for that occasion.
ReplyDeleteAva
@Ava. A lot of bloggers on this site are not British. The thing is that the British think because it is in fashion in their country it is automatically in fashion in the rest of the world.
DeleteI'm thinking that it is because she has so many similar dresses. One could argue that Kate's dresses are a type of uniform for her. Rarely a surprise print or style. Some like her style, some don't.
Delete@Anon15:41, Fashion is everywhere in the world the same whether it is London , Paris or Rome. Fashion designers are not creating their clothes only and absolutely for one country. So after all British people are right.
DeleteAva
@anon 15.41 no, the British don't think that any more than other bloggers do. Fashion is a global industry - things really aren't that different. Plenty of non-British women buy and wear from the same brands as Catherine.
Delete@Anon. 9/9 19:21 - If fashion is everywhere in the world the same how come that Kate only wear British labels. No Gucci, no Chanel, no Dior, never Armani.
DeleteBecause Kate‘s fashion is boring.
ReplyDeleteAgree
DeleteSo are the incessant comments about it being boring.
