Here’s a somewhat funny update on Duchess Kate and Prince William’s appearance in Portsmouth on Sunday (which I covered here): Kate did bring her wedges!!!! She was like, “I’m going to pack my best friends, my navy wedges, in a little bag so that I can wear them inside. People expect to see my wedges every so often!” Kate arrived to the event in sort of ugly flats which were probably some kind of boat-shoes. She was also wearing her special “The Duchess of Cambridge” jersey. But later on at the event, Kate stepped away to change – she slipped off her boat shoes and put on her navy wedges, and she took the jersey off and put on a navy blazer. Does this count as two events because of the costume change? That’s my question.

Apparently, the Portsmouth events were utter chaos. Some of the races were canceled, only to be put back on the schedule for later in the morning. Kate and Will stayed to hand out prizes and a lot of people got really wet from the massive rainstorm. The royal correspondents kept saying that the weather threw everyone for a loop and that they’d never seen a royal visit get so shambolic.

When Kate was chatting up some of the peasants, she greeted a mother of two young children. This happened:

Well, we always knew Prince George was something of a little big man. Now, he’s getting a little ahead of himself as he’s bragging to others that he’s a year old than he really is! The prince, who turned 2 on July 22, has been telling people he’s actually 3, mom Princess Kate revealed Sunday. Kate made the revelation as she met 2-year-old Freddie Wilson, who introduced himself to her at Land Rover Ben Ainslie Racing’s headquarters in Portsmouth, England.

“Hello Princess, my name is Freddie Wilson,” he boldly said to her.

His mother Wendy Maxwell told reporters, “She asked him how old he was and he said ‘I’m 3?. When I said he is only 2, she said, ‘George says that. He thinks that he’s older.’”

Kate also spoke with 2-year-old George Mills and his 13-week-old brother Harry, who had fallen asleep.

The couple was also given gifts for George and Princess Charlotte – two BAR shirts with the little prince and princess’s names printed on the back, which were made by sisters Ella Morgan, 13, and Millie Morgan, 11. Ella and Millie’s mom, Jo Grindley, serves as the team’s commercial director and told reporters that the duchess had said the tops were “cute.”

Their mother Rebecca said, “She asked George if he likes Peppa Pig and said she hoped Charlotte would be doing a lot of sleeping too.”

George thinks he’s older! George likes Peppa Pig! And children greet Kate with “Hello princess.” Which bugs me. I mean, it was said by a kid and he didn’t know any better, but it really should be “hello, duchess!”

SO MANY BUTTONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So shiny!!
