William and Kate to visit Copenhagen next week, The couple's official photograph and where Kate was spotted today

In yesterdays post, I was delighted to add the royal couple would be attending a concert in December. However we will be seeing the couple much sooner than that! William and Kate are due to visit UNICEFs emergency centre in Copenhagen next Wednesday, November 2 2011. They will tour the centre and help pack emergency supplies. This is very exciting news as they will be joined by The Crown Prince and Princess of Denmark, If you are not familiar with them, they are a very down to earth couple and serve their country wonderfully. Princess Mary of Denmark worked as a solicitor before marrying the Prince, Obviously she and Kate will have plenty in common.
Perhaps Kate will wear one of her Amanda Wakeley dresses?


Like William and Kate, Prince Frederik and Princess Mary make a lovely couple :)

"Their Royal highnesses will seek to raise awareness of the crisis in East Africa, and life saving supplies are getting through to children and families affected. So far, UNICEF has delivered more than ten thousand metric tonnes of supplies to the region treated 108,000 severely malnourished children in therapeutic feeding centres and vaccinated 1.2 million against measles".


I'm delighted to hear the Cambridge's are making this trip which will raise much needed awareness for UNICEF. For more information on their work or if you wish to make a donation Click Here.


You may have noticed the above photo of William and Kate is new. It is the couples official photograph, The photos were taken by Getty award winning photographer, Chris Getty. (With thanks to What Kate Wore) Chris shot the photos in Clarence house before the tour of Canada. Kate is wearing her beautiful navy Amanda Wakeley suit. 

Duchess Kate has been continuing visiting museums. Today she was spotted at the Victoria and Albert Museum. The museum is known as one of the greatest in terms of art and design. Kate studied Art History at University and I expect she is interested in culture and art. Grace Kelly was also deeply passionate about expanding the arts in Monaco too. (I always think there's a little of Grace in Kate :))

One of the ladies who saw Kate yesterday was kind enough to tweet me, She saw Kate in department store Harvey Nichols in Knightsbridge yesterday. Kate was wearing a biege jumper, pencil skirt and suede boots. A big thank you to Sophie and TammyVia Twitter.

Looking forward to seeing the couple next Wednesday, I will post as soon as photos and news emerge.

William and Kate Dance the Night Away at Blues Festival, Cover Girl Kate, Jenny Packham Goes High Street and More!

Reports are suggesting William and Kate are making the most of their final days in the heavenly Mustique. The couple were seen dancing at a blue concert last night. Basil's Bar which is thought to be the only bar on the island apart from hotel bars is currently holding it's annual 'Mustique Blues Festival'. (With thanks to British Royals and Trisha) Owner Basil Charles received a wedding invitation last year so we can safely assume the couple enjoyed nights out at his legendary bar on previous holidays. The couple are taking some time out to be just that....a couple, before William is deployed to the Falklands. Basil's is the ideal place for them where 'The vibe transcends stature or position in life. Sailors party with business moguls, high fashion models and gardeners'.

Vogue's Anna Wintour may have wanted Duchess Kate on the cover of her world magazine but it was the U.K. Scouting Magazine who managed to land the Duchess as their latest cover girl. It is just week since it was announced Kate would volunteer with the scouts during her free time in Anglesey. The photo is an official one, taken by Chris Getty for the Canada tour. Kate is wearing her navy vintage Amanda Wakeley suit.

Kate has been voted 'Hat Person Of The Year' by The Headwear Association. Unsurprisingly the 30 year old received 91 percent of the vote. Founded in 1908 The Headwear Association attempts to promote hats throughout the world. Previous winners include Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp. Kate's hats are always understated and complement her outfit without being distracting unlike other members other members of the royal family including a certain pretzel shaped headpiece :)

There is simply no doubt Kate has a huge influence on women in terms of fashion. We all want to emulate her sophisticated, elegant style. With that in mind one of Kate's favourite designers, the incredibly talented Jenny Packham has created an affordable high street line in collaboration with Debenhams. Packham follows in the footsteps of designers Roskanda Ilinic and Matthew Williamson who have all created budget friendly collection for the U.K. retailer. If Packham's most recent collection is anything to go by, we can expect feminine, ethereal, classic pieces. This is a very clever career move and I have no doubt the collection will be a sell out. Will you be considering purchasing a piece from the range?
