LONDON — Fashion icon Kate Middleton won’t be having anymore wardrobe malfunctions if Queen Elizabeth has her way.
According to The Mail on Sunday, the queen has ordered the Duchess of Cambridge to wear lower hemlines during a 3½-week trip to Australia this spring.
The royal makeover won’t just focus on toning down Kate’s leggy style. The duchess also will wear more tiaras and statement jewelry “favored by the Queen and Queen Mother,” the Mail reported.

Well, you know as they say , , ,
The shorter the skirt,
the . . .?
yellow is definitely her color
>> if they really want to cover a royal butt put Charles in a burka...
ROFL. Brilliant!
The Queen should make him stop doing that!
I read the original article at DailyMail a couple of days ago. It said nothng about the Queen “ordering” her.
The Royal Family takes its duties seriously, calling itself “the Firm.” I’m sure they have all kinds of dress guidelines for various stages of life. Now that Kate is a mother, the short skirts have to go, but I seriously doubt Kate needed to be “ordered” — she is not a rebel like Fergie or Camilla.
British women subjects are also required to wear stockings and closed-toe shoes for an audience with the Queen. This is a requirement of many American corporations, as well. Noted that Michelle Obama, when she met the Queen, went with the bare-leg Hollywood look and also broke protocol by trying to hug the Queen, whose manners were too impeccable to show disapproval publicly.
Yea.... well, I’d hit it!
In before Laz...
The crazy old bat,,, STFU

How does the news get this crap? I would think this would be a whisper in the dressing room, between two women. Or do things like this have to be written on a scroll for ‘history’?
I remember gasping when I saw that. In my mind, Michelle Obama wasn't ignorant of proper protocol, it was that she viewed herself as an equal to the Queen.
All the Royal Family did was save Europe back in the 1940’s, bring the US into the war against Hitler, and then help rebuild Europe after it was over.
They also helped pull our heads from our posteriors on wartime intelligence, passed vital technology on (radar), and then helped defeat the Russians in the Cold War.
But hey, its just the Royal Family. I might also add that the Queen knows full well what a git his oldest boy is and kept the job longer than she wanted to spare the world, and her own conscience, the indignity of a King Charles.
No royal family, no Churchill. No Churchill, and you might be speaking a different language.
For all the grief the French take for their collapse in WWII, I don’t think anybody living today can appreciate the toll WWI took on the French.
In 1938, the French were considered the best professional army in the world. WWI shattered the French. Were it not for the British Expeditionary Forces in France, it would have taken the Germans five weeks to fold instead of nine.
I read a biography on Churchill that really brought home to me how WWI affected the French. By 1938, the average Frenchman just wanted to be French and live in the French way, and didn’t really think German rule would change the day to day for the average Frenchman. If freedom meant another WWI, they were willing to try occupation.
Once the Queen dies it will be up to the Princes, because Charles is understood to be an idiot by everyone. He’s worse than Joe Biden, if that’s possible.
Can’t assume those things wouldn’t have happened without royals. The brits seem to want them, so be it.
I almost spit coffee on my key board...LOL
This sounds more like “Don’t give the press ammunition”.
One more thing the Royal Family taught the US: Fighting our wars on anybody else’s soil beside your own is infinitely better than the alternatives.
This is what is so frustrating about moving away from the doctrine of two-theater wartime preparedness.
I guess the West Coast is expendable, or the East Coast, or more likely the South.
Men everywhere mourn.
Now, that is one funny post!!
I like the way her legs make an ass of themselves.
