Yay! Here are some photos of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge today in London. They made their second appearance (overall) at the XLP Project at London Wall. This is also their third event of the week, following yesterday’s documentary-watching and hospital-appearance.

For today’s event, Kate wore a new frock from a label which she’s never worn before: Eponine London. It’s a two-piece wide-gingham print that looks candy-pink from a distance, but is actually sort of a white and red-pink gingham print. In addition to bird-prints, lace, baby-blue coats and buttons, Kate is developing a deep love for gingham. It must appeal to her girlish side. She notably wore gingham for her big “return to work” following her maternity leave last year, that time it was a gingham Ralph Lauren which was slit to her duchess biscuit.

I actually like the cut of this suit a lot. Kate abhors a straight skirt, so if the skirt has to have any kind of fullness, this one has a decent cut and length. The jacket/top also has big, prominent buttons, which is probably what drew her eye to this ensemble in the first place. And I’m giving her some points for actually wearing a color when she knows she’s going to interact with children, unlike the many times she’s chosen to wear goth-black for the kids.

Also: the last time Will and Kate came out for the XLP Project, one of the underprivileged kids spoke to the press and was not complimentary about Will and Kate at all. Those comments have mostly been scrubbed from the original record of their visit, so I can’t find them now! The kid basically said that Will and Kate have zero clue about anything.
