When we see Kate Middleton in this picture, so many different things come to mind. She might be practicing her karate moves in a subtle way, or perhaps the Princess of Wales is doing a bit of mental math.
Either way, Kate is effortlessly beautiful even when she’s in deep thought. The royal lady is wearing a gorgeous autumn dress and purse to match her shoes, so all in all, how bad of a photo can it be? As we see from her hands yet again, Kate is obviously quite an expressive woman, which just makes her even more lovable to the nation.
Too Much Publicity
Being part of the royal family isn’t just glamour and fun. There are many responsibilities involved with the job, and you’re basically working 24/7. A huge part of the job is publicity, which can get extremely tiring sometimes.
Kate is seen here being slightly uncomfortable, which isn’t surprising, considering how many people are probably yelling and screaming behind her. Despite being uncomfortable, she carries herself quite gracefully, as she does her best to shut out the background noise.
Quick William, Hide Me From Merkel
The former Chancellor of Germany and ex-leader of the Democratic Union, Angela Merkel, can be quite an intimidating figure. She’s a very stoic and loud woman, which might explain why Kate was hiding behind William here.
The royal couple and the German leader were meeting on some official political business. But while Prince William and Merkel handled the meeting, Kate preferred to stay in her husband's shadow. Hopefully, Kate got her act together eventually and gave the retired German leader a proper greeting. She really doesn’t look like she wanted to be there at all.
Finally Some Pink!
Both Kate and her daughter, Princess Charlotte, look absolutely stoked in this photo. The two must have gotten their first chance in a long time to wear pink, and the expression on their face shows just how excited they were.
Her hat is absolutely fabulous, and her daughter is dressed extremely well too. Most people stop being able to pull off an entirely pink ensemble once they're out of diapers, but not Kate. We only wish that being in full pink wasn’t just a royal thing, since walking around in bubblegum colors looks like a lot of fun!
Huh?
The expression on Kate’s face is completely priceless in this one. She clearly saw something that made her go “wait… what?” in her mind, and this was the outcome.
Whoever took this picture was either really lucky or asked her something that created this expression. It was probably something more along the lines of “what did you think about Brexit”? But who knows...
