Catherine Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William arrive at Dublin International Airport
Prince William and Catherine Duchess of Cambridge visit to Ireland - 03 Mar 2020
I think Kate's look works best here, where the pattern is just an accent, and you can't really see the hatband. (Whilst I enjoy her evolution into a bit of kookiness, the hatband IS kooky. Do we think it's because she feels like she HAS to wear a hat but she's really over hats? Maybe she'll start sticking smaller and smaller items atop her head as time marches on and in five years we'll just be getting a barrette.)

Prince William and Catherine Duchess of Cambridge lay a wreath at the Garden of Remembrance in Dublin

A place of remembrance and reflection, the Garden of Remembrance in Dublin is dedicated to those who gave their lives for Irish independence.
This coat is very reasonable and good. (They're visiting the Garden of Remembrance in Dublin, here. Informative Caption calls it "a place of remembrance and reflection, the Garden of Remembrance in Dublin is dedicated to those who gave their lives for Irish independence." Do you think Wills wants to turn to anyone at any point and be like, "sorry about all that"?)

They also bet Irish President Michael D. Higgins and Sabina Coyne, his wife, and that amazing dog, at their residence, where they rang the Peace Bell, which exists to commemorate the Good Friday Agreement, which (as I understand it and this is very simplistic) officially ended The Troubles, as well as set up a governmental structure for Northern Ireland/Ireland/the UK.

When I first saw this photo, dear friends, I thought those were culottes. And I had feelings about that and the feelings were bad.

My feelings still aren't great! (Although this photo is really funny.) This dress is VERY fussy. The pattern is great and the color is fun but it has so many things! Pleats and pattern and a peplum and a turtleneck and Sleeves! Maybe she's explaining it here.

Catherine Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William meet with Taoiseach of Ireland Leo Varadkar and Matthew Barrett
Prince William and Catherine Duchess of Cambridge visit to Ireland - 03 Mar 2020
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the first day of their 3 day visit to Ireland met with the Taoiseach Leo Varadkar with his partner Matthew Barrett at Government Buildings, Dublin
Here, Wills and Kate are chatting with Taoiseach of Ireland, Leo Varadkar, and his partner Matthew Barrett -- presumably about Varadkar and William's matching ties? -- and that's all great but I need to know more about that fireplace tile.

"William. I am traditionally pretty bad at cocktail gear. HOW IS THIS?!?!"
"Not terrible. You also do love a hem flounce."
"I told you I didn't want to talk about that anymore."
"Let's find the bar."

I might have styled this differently -- the story of my life! -- but considering that I don't really like this label AND I never like Kate's Cocktail Wear, this feels fairly successful?
