The British royal family simply cannot calm down: First Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan repeatedly fired shots at the royal family, then there was speculation about an alleged marital crisis involving Prince William and Princess Kate and now author Omid Scobie also shares this in his book “Endgame “against the palace. It wouldn’t be surprising if Princess Kate in particular became more and more withdrawn due to the headlines directed against her. But on the contrary, the 41-year-old doesn’t seem to want to be intimidated, as she has now proven in a brilliant appearance.
Strong performance from Princess Kate: “She won’t be intimidated”
On Tuesday evening (December 5th), the royal family welcomed diplomats from around the world to Buckingham Palace. King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William and Princess Kate smiled side by side and ignored the headlines of the past few weeks. British media see this joint appearance as a sign of solidarity. A British journalist and fashion expert goes even further and attests that Kate is a demonstration of her power.

The 41-year-old princess appeared in a floor-length gold sequin dress with a blue sash and wore a tiara made from the diamonds from Queen Mum’s wedding gift. Kate outshone the rest of the royals at the reception. For author Liz Jones, it was more than just a glamorous appearance by Prince William’s wife. “It was the ultimate revenge dress,” she writes in the “Daily Mail” and compares the princess with another royal lady: “It signaled, like Diana’s little black dress back then […]”That Catherine won’t let herself be intimidated.”
Revenge dress: Princess Diana caused a sensation in 1994 with her “Revenge Dress”.
In 1994, the mother of Prince William and Prince Harry caused a sensation when she appeared at a party at the Serpentine Gallery in London in a black, skin-tight chiffon dress. That same evening, King Charles confessed his infidelity on national television. Lady Di’s little black dress went down in history as the “Revenge Dress”. Now Princess Kate is said to have done the same with her late mother-in-law’s glittering gold dress.

Princess Kate demonstrates her power: “She literally shines under pressure”
According to Liz Jones, Kate was aware that all eyes would be on her that evening. “She literally shines under pressure,” explains the British journalist. She showed “real self-confidence” and defied the critics. Whether that was actually the princess’s intention remains to be seen. But she definitely proved she has strength and demonstrated her power with her performance at the reception.
