Princess Kate also stepped out today for a visit at the Developmental Neuroscience Lab at University College London to meet with researchers working on infant brain development. Royal Meghan was out earlier in burgundy. As you can see, Kate’s in a similar outfit – the colour, mostly, but also the length and the black tights with the black shoes and the hairstyle, a low ponytail on both. Very of the season, very holiday. Was it planned? I mean…
At the beginning of the year, Prince William and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were out at different engagements on the same day. And at the time, it was reported that Will wouldn’t be happy about it. As both the Cambridges and the Sussexes are handled by the same court at Kensington Palace – for now anyway – scheduling clashes shouldn’t be an issue and they try to avoid them because the goal is to give each outing, and its beneficiary (the charity and/or organization the royals happen to be highlighting) its proper time in the spotlight.
So, even if you’re a casual royal watcher, you know that this doesn’t happen very often. It’s not like it never happens, but it’s unusual. Some eyebrows definitely went up. Especially since, as we’ve been discussing, there have been rumours that the Cambridges and the Sussexes may be separating their courts. If it’s true that William has an ego, that he does not enjoy being overshadowed, I wonder whether or not he’ll be paying attention to today’s coverage – and what his reaction will be.
