I know, for example, that at some stage we are going to have to start calling Kate "Catherine" and even "Princess Catherine" and eventually, one hopes, if they make it that far "Queen Catherine". But then I remember we managed to go from Lady Di to Princess Diana without too much trouble so we will man up.
Yesterday it emerged that Miss Catherine Middleton did her own styling and make up for her engagement photos, delving into her own wardrobe for her year old items and rejecting those supplied by hopeful stylists. You all know I have a real thing for young women who do their own styling, and considering she got it so RIGHT, I may need to invite Miss Catherine Middleton to join book club some time. Just for one get together, obvs.
Also in the news is that these two looks by Reiss and Whistles will be re-released for those wanting to buy a bit of Catherine's style.
Bad news on the fashion front is that T-shirts bearing the images of Prince William and his bride-to-be have been banned as part of a royal edict that declares what kind of memorabilia is acceptable to celebrate their wedding. And everything that is allowed must only use approved images and carry the words, "To commemorate the marriage of Prince William of Wales and Miss Catherine Middleton, 29th April 2011." Got to get going on that batch of commemorative headscarves — an item fully approved by the Palace.
