The Duchess Of Cambridge Attends A SportsAid Athelete Workshop

Let's kick this off with our Informative Caption From The Photo House. AHEM: "Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, Patron of SportsAid, meets potential young athletes at a SportsAid workshop at the GSK Human Performance Laboratory."

Who DOESN'T want to go to a Human Performance Laboratory? (Especially because, as this is in England, it's a laBORatory, which makes it sound that much more mysterious/intriguing.) Unless, I suppose, there was the possibility that, at some point, someone might turn to you and say, "your performance as a human, frankly, kinda sucks."

Anyway, outfit-wise, obviously I don't think this is going to light anyone's hair on fire with boiling hot rage OR passionate, mad love, but it's totally nice and work-appropriate. (I have a dress almost exactly like this, from Madewell, and so far no one has told me that my performance as a human is subpar whilst wearing it.)

I know this is basically EXACTLY the same picture, but this had a better shot of the boots. I do like a flat boot. Do we like THESE flat boots? DISCUSS. Also: I feel cheated that there was no coat involved today. I was promised coat and boot season. (By myself, but whatever.)

"And then, here, Ohio has 18 electoral votes. So if we give that to -- what's that? Oh, I'm terribly sorry. I thought this was CNN. I was wondering where John King was."

(This was actually a thingie [technical term] that measured brain response and reflexes. THIS is what you ask the pregnant woman to do, instead of handing her a volleyball and saying, "have at it, ma'am. Let's see how much sorcery you can REALLY do.")

"Oooh, juicy. I WILL have Harry call you."

Royally Played, Kate Middleton in Goat (Sadly, not WITH Goat)
Last time she went to this event, she played volleyball in giant wedges. Last time she wore this designer, a little girl gave her a painting. This outing had neither wicked volleyball spikes NOR adorable artwork from talented children, but it did have new boots and lots of athletes and I like both of those things. [Photos: Getty, Splash]
