Yay, new Duchess Kate photos. You know what word I’ve always loved? “Knackered”. I guess it’s mostly used as slang in England, but I wish we would use it more in America. To me, in these photos, Duchess Kate looks knackered. She looks absolutely exhausted. Is Prince George sleeping through the night? Does he cry a lot and her nerves are just frayed? I don’t know. I’ll just say that she doesn’t look like she’s getting enough sleep in these photos.

William and Kate made an appearance today in London for the “Only Connects Projects”. Kate’s dress is a repeat – she wore this Orla Kiely in February 2012, for a solo visit to one of the patronages. If I’m not mistaken, just looking through the February 2012 photos, I do think Kate had the hem raised on this dress. Just an inch or two, but this dress used to be closer to knee-length. I’m fine with the dress – I liked it fine last year, and enough time has passed where I’m cool with the repeat. The only thing I really don’t like here is the shoe choice. I’m also pleased that Kate isn’t twirling her sausage curls in these photos. Baby steps.

Only Connect (or the Only Connect Projects) is a charity aimed at rehabilitating prisoners and “disadvantaged youth” through… art, I think. You can read more about their visit here.

PS… I guess I still see grey hair in her roots, right? But at least she’s not doing that terrible center part.
