On February 21, 2023, the Princess of Wales visited the Oxford House Nursing Home in Slough. The Princess of Wales met with staff and residents to learn how delivering high-quality, patient-focused care is at the centre of the home's work. Oxford House is a family-run nursing home that first opened its doors to residents in 1980. Oxford House also operates a domiciliary care organisation, Oxford House Community Care.
MAX & CO Camel Long Wool Coat
Nice business ensemble. Simple lines. Navy turtle neck, pants, pumps and handbag, check. Classic camel coat, check. Hair, just right. Make-up, a bit too heavy for my liking. Just skip the silly earrings. Amy
ReplyDeleteWhat is silly about button earrings? They are pretty tame in my view.

DeleteJ'ai tout de suite remarqué ces boucles d'oreilles classiques mais elles conviennent avec le reste de sa tenue ; j'espère qu'elles ne sont pas à clips car j'ai connu cela et mes lobes d'oreilles s'en ressentaient !
Boring Kate
ReplyDeleteAnd gosh, what a boring comment! Ana
DeleteNot boring. Classic and classy.
DeleteYes totally agree with you. Boring.
DeleteHeavy make up, these earrings also age her a lot. She is always good at showing her ´high interest’ and ´focus’ for people she visits …
Rachel.
Yes, visits like this one might call for "boring" outfits. You need to dress for the occasion, very simple. Nothing wrong with her clothes for this particular visit. The earrings might, in fact, look a bit dated, but then, why not add a bit of nostalgia for visiting an old-people's home.
DeleteI like her Outfit but really dislike the earrings. Donate them Kate. Frieda
DeleteCatherine is never boring.
DeleteWish todays young women learn from her in every way. Lovely lady.
Another great look from Catherine! She looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteJanet
Totaly agree
DeleteBoring. She wants to be perfect and too classy it’s just so boring from head to toe. Sorry, it’s not because you visit elderly people you need to dress like one and stay formal. You can bring some fresh and youthful touch, don’t think it’s not appropriate.
DeleteKatie M.
I love it. The Princess of Wales looks beautiful.

I'm another fan of this whole ensemble and think the trousers and coat look fine together. . I'd not really noticed the earrings until they were commented on here but not a great fan (I have similar ones form the 1980s!)
DeleteBack to her uniform. Wish she would stay away from the long coats when wearing the wider leg pants. A shorter length would be more flattering.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning appearance from Princess Kate but again secondary given the preminence of this patient- focused nursing home.
ReplyDeleteLike her hair pulled off her face and her light make- up as well.
Lovely contrast of the total navy ensemble with the the slightly oversized and belted
camel coat.
Agree, she looks a bit tired, is it the mask, wich seems to be too tight?
DeleteAnon.20.37
DeleteYou said tired?
Maybe, but it is not due to the mask
She is a human coping with her busy schedule and family needs.
Do you have an idea of what it means to travel out and about?
I guess she moves from her residence to any place by helicopter plus a car unless a plane trip has been appointed to some far destination.
Moreover, she needs an accurate preparation - meaning looking good from head to toe- as far as her clothes, make- up and hair are concerned.
Believe me, this is my routine and I am used to it by now cause it is part of my job but not everyone is supposed to face hectic days looking immaculate all the time.
I suggest you just spend a single day out trying to look immensely good like Catherine is expected to be and them let me know what happens, please.
The pants might be a tad too long but other than that, good outfit. She does look a little tired but what mom of three doesn't. :)
ReplyDelete@ P the Original. You’re right, her life is very busy and exhausted to cope with ‘work’ schedule and family needs, pressure with travels and make-up to look immaculate. Tough. Fair play to her. An example to us all.

La couleur camel de ce manteau aux lignes simples contraste avec le reste bleu-marine de sa tenue ; je remarque que la longueur de son pantalon n'est pas vraiment idéale pour aller marcher dans l'herbe !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, elegant outfit, reserved and appropriate to the occasion. I just don't like the earrings. For Kate, the focus here, as so often, is on the social institution.
ReplyDeleteI love how respectful and loving she seems to be with the elderly.
This was a wonderful visit to the Nursing home. How thrilling for the residents to receive this visit from Catherine, nice! I love the camel coat, the navy pants and top look great I love Navy as an ensemble, one of my favourite colors, so smart and chic. She looks very elegant, love the bag and shoes.
ReplyDeleteI think the court are really showcasing her at the moment as the Woman Who Can Do No Wrong. We had stylish and innovative Kate at the BAFTAs (the black gloves!), we have hard-working and stylish classic Kate at the nursing home...such an asset to her in-laws' family business. I really like her a lot and I sincerely hope that she is at peace with the level of exposure that is part of her job and that's going to become more intense as the years pass.
ReplyDeleteGood working outfit. Like the bag, ferragamo? Shorter coat would be better, and please, these earrings
ReplyDeleteanna e.
Now i see, the bag is polene
Deleteanna e.
What a chic, polished look on Princess Catherine! Her hair is perfect. She always gets it right. Well done Princess in bringing smiles to people’s faces and making a huge difference in their lives.
ReplyDeleteA nice ensemble for the occasion. I don’t love the earrings though. The style is very solid and heavy. Something with a little movement might have been better (just not those gigantic Zara ones she wore to the Baftas ;-). (V.M.)
ReplyDeleteShe's very tall! Towering over the line of workers outside waiting to meet her. My feeling is that on these types of outings (nursing homes, hospitals), she does not need to wear such "business attire" with high heels. An informal dress with lower heels would've been better suited to the "venue". IMO.
ReplyDeleteAnon.01.37
DeleteSo, you blame Catherine for being tired - meaning you expect some kind of perfection from her- but you want her to wear an almost nurse- like attire when visiting certain venues, right?
You sound like you want her to underdress purposedly.
Business like clothing includes also high heels and that's what Catherine did.
Any tall woman should wear flats then lest she towers anyone else around her?
I am tall too, so tell me what I am supposed to do to "chastise" my height.
Thank you.
P.the original: please let us be kind and friendly here. Its all about fashion and our opinions
ReplyDelete👍 yes agree. Good answer Anonymous to P. The Original.
DeleteRight!
DeleteLovely outfit for the occasion, loved the earrings.
ReplyDeletethis is a very lovely outfit for this event. I am sure the people had a great day seeing her on this visit. css
ReplyDeleteKate looks fantastic love her hand bag does anyone know the brand? Mary
ReplyDeleteIts Polene
Deleteanna e.
Polene is a luxury brand and is a French company that has been going for only a few years. Their products are made in Spain.
DeleteThey are noted for their unique designs, quality workmanship and affordable price (compared to other luxury brands).
Not quite luxury, when you visit the site, less expensive than demellier. e.
ReplyDeleteJust read reviews for that brand, hmm
