Kate Visits Margate

Informative Caption! "The Duchess of Cambridge talks with art students at the Turner Contemporary Gallery." She also visited several exhibits, and a community of local artists -- our friends at What Would Kate Do? have an excellent run-down of the day's events. One of the exhibitions sounds VERY interesting -- about self-portraits/selfies -- so please report back if you go/have gone.

I'd just like to say that I totally REQUESTED that she wear this just on Monday, and for that, I'd like to say, "thank you, Kate." Also, I have some other requests: some shoes I think you should consider purchasing, a book you might like to read, a brother-in-law you could potentially set up. Just, you know. Whenever you get around to it. [Photos: Splash, Getty]
