The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge did an event with the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall today. This is the first time since 2011 that the four senior royals – William, Kate, Charles and Camilla – did an event with just the four of them. At first, I wondered if William and Kate horned in on one of Charles’ events. But after hearing what the event involved, I feel like Charles and William worked in concert to make a petty point towards Prince Harry. The event: a visit to the new Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre (DMRC) in Loughborough. As in, they spent time with injured and rehabilitating veterans and soldiers. So… are Charles and William just going to copy Harry’s work entirely from now on?

Rebecca English actually called this grouping “the new Fab Four” on Twitter, which is funny for so many reasons. I mean, the OG (Royal) Fab Four was a media creation in the first place, it was a dream that Harry and Meghan would do things and William and Kate would tag along and get all the credit. The Sussexes put an end to that. So now Will & Kate are tagging along to Charles and Camilla’s events? Also: the OG Fab Four was about the “glamour” of the “younger royals.” Calling Charles (71) and Camilla (72) part of some new Fab Four… lord, I hope they’re all embarrassed.

As for fashion… Kate wore a militaristic-looking McQueen which is new-to-us. The silhouette is very conservative, bordering on Amish-chic, only the Amish think buttons are “proud.” Kate thinks buttons should be added to every article of clothing she wears, so I’m convinced that she asked Sarah Burton at McQueen for MOAR BUTTONS.
