There are about a dozen smaller stories about The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge from the past few days, so I’m putting them all in this post in no particular order. Prince William actually did some solo royal events late last week, which just goes to show you… Poor Jason the PR guy did manage to get through to the Cambridges a little bit. They know they have to do more.
Prince William talked about grief. He made an appearance the Child Bereavement U.K. gala and he gave a speech. He said, in part: “My mother was determined to help those in need and she would have been immensely proud — as I am — of all that Child Bereavement U.K. has achieved these last 21 years… What my mother recognized back then — and what I understand now — is that grief is the most painful experience that any child or parent can endure. As a father to two young children myself, I now appreciate it all the more.”
William also talked about his kids. When he stopped by Cambridge University, he chatted with a professor and the professor then spoke to the media, saying: “We talked a little bit about the children and he did make a couple of comments about their different temperaments. He said George is very lively and Charlotte is very ladylike. He said they were both delightful of course.” Translation: Charlotte can do no wrong in her daddy’s eyes and George is still running the Cambridge household with an iron baby fist.
Will & Kate are going to Scotland. They are set to visit Dundee, Scotland on October 23 and they will carry out five engagements during their two day (?) trip, including a stop by an anti-bullying workshop and a visit to Abertay University.
The Duchess of Wiglets lives. This is my favorite of all the stories!! Britain’s “top stylist” Inanch Emir claims that Kate totally wears extensions all the time. Emir doesn’t base this claim on insider knowledge – Emir is basically a CB commenter, on permanent Wiglet Watch, looking through photos of Kate and determining that Kate totally wears extensions. Emir told Now Magazine: “Having looked at before and after pictures, it is my professional opinion that Kate Middleton has been experimenting with extensions as her hair has looked more vibrant and bouncy in recent months…It started off so subtle it was difficult to tell, but her hair seems thicker – she may have had around 100-120 strands and colours too.” Emir’s opinion is the Kate slowly introduced the extensions over the past few years, but I disagree: Kate has been wearing extensions, falls, weaves, etc since 2011.
The Cambridges are influential. Super-influential, apparently. In a new poll, the Cambridges were named the top most influential “power couple.” ORLY? The #2 position: David and Victoria Beckham, then Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, then the Jolie-Pitts, then the Obamas. Bill & Melinda Gates didn’t even make it to the top five. This list is utter bulls—t.
