Royals Recap: Prince William, Kate Middleton’s French state visit, the Sussex’s money woes

Kate Middleton is back. After being absent from Ascot and raising a few concerns among fans, Kate has made an absolutely stunning return to public life. Not only that, she’s also treated us to a very exciting new ensemble. Now, Kate and William were on hand to greet the French president, Emmanuel Macron, and his wife, Bridget, as they touch down in the UK for an official visit. Kate celebrated the moment by celebrating a French fashion house wearing Christian Dior for the first time ever. Now, Princess Kate is no stranger to high-end brands. However, she often chooses to champion British designers rather than picking outfits from other countries. On this occasion, however, she went full French, wearing an entire Dior ensemble in a stunning dusty pink color, which she complimented with a matching hat. Now, for those of you who are not aware, many people saw a link here between Kate and her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, who was known to have been a huge fan of the Dior brand. Still, Kate put her own spin on things and put on a very elegant display while also looking absolutely radiant and so very happy. She was beaming from ear to ear. She and William were getting a little bit touchyfey in an appropriate manner of course, but there were smiles. There were hands on the back. And Mr. Macron also snuck in a cheeky kiss on Kate’s hand, which stirred up a fair amount of controversy. I will tell you with many people questioning whether he had broken royal protocol in doing so. However, I’m here to let you know it’s nothing to be worried about and Kate looked extremely happy to be greeted in such a warm manner by the French president. Now, in typical Kate fashion, every outfit has some kind of emotional meaning. And in addition to dawning a Dior outfit, Kate also paid tribute to Princess Diana in another way by dawning her pearl earrings, which she matched to a three strand pearl necklace that was once owned by the queen. Now, obviously, we are all delighted to see Princess Kate looking so happy and healthy. But this outing was all the more poignant because it came just days after she opened up about her struggle to embrace her new normal after she underwent chemotherapy. Kate admitted that she expected everything to return to normal as soon as she was done with treatment, but unfortunately she found that that wasn’t the case. Kate made the emotional admission while she was visiting patients at Colchester Hospital, and she spoke out about her chemotherapy treatment and the time after as being a really, really difficult time in her life. She described it like being on a roller coaster, admitting that she had initially thought things would run smoothly. But she was met with a much more difficult reality. However, she said that she found that talking to other people about what she was going through was one of the most valuable tools she came across in terms of learning how to embrace her new normal. Now, for those of you wondering when we might next see Princess Kate, obviously we don’t have that many confirmed dates in the calendar just yet, but we are all crossing our fingers and holding our breath that she is going to make an appearance at Wimbledon. Over the past few years, she has been a mainstay at the iconic tennis tournament, particularly because she is known to be a huge fan of the sport herself and can actually often be seen whipping Williams tush during some friendly matches at their local club. However, it remains to be seen whether Kate will in fact make an appearance, and everything at the moment seems to be resting on whether or not she feels fit and healthy enough to do so. But with the semi-finals and the finals just days away, we are all hoping that she will be there, at least for one of them. While Kate appears to be spending a fair few pretty pennies on a new Dior outfit, reports have emerged that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are actually cutting back on costs in an effort to save money. Now, according to sources, the duo has actually cut their entire communications team in an effort to rein back their spending. Insiders told Page Six that Harry and Megan have let go of six more employees in recent weeks, which brings the total tally of departed staff members to 25 in the last 5 years. According to those insiders, some of those departures have yet to be announced. So, it remains to be seen whether Megan and Harry are going to share this new news or whether they plan to keep it under wraps. Luckily, the couple do seem to have a fairly consistent stream of income from Megan’s newly launched brand as ever. The latest product release, which was a Napa Valley Rosé, sold out in mere minutes, despite the fact that you could only purchase three bottles at a time for a staggering $30 each. I tell you, that better be some good sipping rosé.

Kate Middleton went fully Parisian for a state visit from French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, greeting them in a pale pink Dior ensemble. Video of the arrival showed Emmanuel, 47, giving the Prince of Wales, 43, a firm handshake before he moved on to air kiss the Princess of Wales’ hand. Royal Expert Charlie Lankston is breaking down the royal encounter and the kiss that went viral.
