Kate Middleton, wife of Prince William (William) of Great Britain, constantly attracts press attention. The wedding of Katherine and William took place in April 2011 and was recognized as an undoubted misalliance, since there is not a drop of royal blood in Kate and that is why Kate is sympathetic to ordinary people in the UK. However, Catherine Middleton's absence from the 2012 royal races has generated a lot of controversy.
Every year in England, the royal races start, from a sports event they have long grown into the most fashionable and social event of the season. To be in the stands, in addition to the invitation card, you need to take care of the right outfit.
In connection with the anniversary of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II in 2012, the dress code was tightened. The dress of visitors to the royal tribune should cover the knees and shoulders, in addition, it should have a modest neckline that does not reveal the chest. The headgear has become larger, at the base of the hat should be at least 2 inches (about 10 cm). For men, there is a gray or black tailcoat, top hat, strict boots.
Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, Prince Charles and his wife, Duchess Camilla of Cornwall, Princess Anne, Princess Eugenie and many others were seen on the royal rostrum. However, much to the surprise of the audience, neither Prince William, nor his wife Catherine, nor his younger brother Harry were at the royal races.
To some extent, Kate tried to replace her mother Carol and father Michael Middleton, they accompanied the royal family in her absence. Katherine's mom wore a red dress and coat that matched well with a hat of the same color.
The reason for their absence, Prince William and Catherine Middleton did not want to tell the press, however, several main versions arose explaining their decision.
Becoming part of the royal family, Kate Middleton made her own amendments to the fashion world. With a good figure and beautiful long legs, she often appeared at official events in skirts above the knee, shiny nude tights and other similar outfits. At the same time, she always looked elegant and impeccable, royally, so the style of Kate Middleton fell in love with many.
The middle-aged Queen Elizabeth II is not very favorable to new trends, not approving of the behavior of her daughter-in-law. In her opinion, more strict aristocratic etiquette should apply at official events such as the Royal Horse Races. Perhaps it was this dress code, which violates the personal style of Catherine Middleton, and became the reason for the absence of the girl with her husband at the Royal Races.
Another possible reason is Kate's unwillingness to engage in active social activities. Immediately after the wedding, she announced that she was going to become an ordinary housewife, prepare meals for her husband and clean the house. To this end, she even fired the maid and two cooks, she herself began to go to supermarkets for groceries. This decision Katherine liked both her husband and the queen, was another reason for Kate's popularity among the British.
