 So this is a joint event and not a solo one for her?

QuoteAfter taking one of the shortest maternity leaves in royal history, the Duchess of Cambridge is planning to carry out her first solo overseas tour.

According to reports, Kate will fly to Malta to commemorate 50 years of the island's independence in September.

While a source at Kensington Palace tells Royal Watch, "It's too early for an announcement," the latter part of the month has apparently been earmarked for the trip.

I did not expect to see her doing a solo overseas trip so soon.  I would say that's a vote of confidence from the firm.

SophieChloe

She is hardly signing a Peace Treaty! It's nothing more than a smile and wave day out...but in a different Country.  Things can only get better - Last time she was abroad, she flashed us her arse.

I'm of the belief she has been told to do some work.   Apparently, William will be too busy?

And it'll just be Kate going to Malta in Sept for her first solo foreign trip -William'll be too busy with his new full-time job...

We aren't at war with Malta so no need to sign a peace treaty. Although putting one's signature on an already prepared document is much easier than doing this solo tour.

I can't wait for the Mail Online's wall-to-wall coverage.

Well I know that PofP.  No need to take my posts so literally.... :high5:

Wall to wall coverage?  How very hopeful of you!  She hardly ever makes front pages.  And you know it  :love6:  Bored of her already.......maybe?  Can't say I blame the Editors - all we ever get from her is the same old, same old....mouth open, flicking of the hair....blah, blah....

.This is not a "tour"...why would you say that?

During a 19 day tour of down under they were on the front page of the Daily Mail 10 times with 3 souvenir additions. You know that  :love6:


SophieChloe

No, they were not.  George was (granted William or Kate were holding him).  And You know that too.

The family was. There was no George during their tour of Canada or the Solomon Islands and they were front page news. You can't stop it SC

Because she is a very boring woman /public figure  :orchid: I dont know how people follow her constantly like you get news once in 3 months and her fashion is all there is , which btw she can do better imo .

Oh I see, you are referring to an old tour.....Old news.....Jeez move on. :orchid:   When they were young and fresh...that boat has long since sailed....when the excuses came in bucket-loads ....and still the lazy pair are still grabbing.   

I'm not trying to "stop it".... it has already come to a halt.   

George is the future and you know it.  Middleton and William are boring.

This seems like a silly thing to argue about.  Kate obviously attracts a lot of media attention.  If you think she *shouldn't* attract media attention, that's one thing.  But to say she *doesn't* get a lot of media attention makes it sound like you're ignoring facts you don't like.

To use myself as an example, I think the flurry of stories the past few weeks complaining about W&K's spending were unfair and based on a lot of misinformation.  But I don't deny that a lot of those types of stories were published.  They were.

We are not "arguing" we are discussing.... :hug:  :shrug:


All I'm discussing, Canuck, is Kate is not devoted to anything...this is all PR.  I suggest she bog off back to Middleton Manor.  Where ,according to Pippa they spend most weekends with George.

yes of course she gets lots of media attention certainly in the UK.  Of course - much less in the US but then again she does not live in the US.  I'd say though that the claims made for her status in the world ("international style icon") are ridiculously exaggerated.  I still would guess that they are the best known of the younger royals from around the world.  It does seem to me though that she is not at all well known for her humanitarian efforts.  Will perhaps has some profile re: his illegal poaching campaigns but Kate has no yet developed any particular image except for her clothes.


georgiana996

 :goodpost: Cate , even  people who have worked in fashion and are well known say her style status is exaggerated , I wont go into that but yeah she's not all that famous outside the UK and unless your a royal watcher you wouldnt know what was happening with her as in whatever  the latest kate news is .
People dont care she isnt famous for any other reason than marriage and kate could change that but so far she hasn't

Luckily all of us here at RIF follow her every move or at least comment on it so she does generate interest.

This Malta thread is really coming alive today

I wouldnt mind if she was only known for her clothes and she supported young up and coming designers , and took a more serious role within the fashion industry but she barely recognises the importance of her so called " style status " she can do so much and I wouldnt care if fashion was all she was  known for but she doesnt even do that  :windsor1: so like I said shes boring and there is little to like .
The saddest part is that even the critics are bored , when I used to talk about her clothes or say anything it was because I cared and felt eventually she would get it and wow everyone but she wont and has no interest to do so so its just that people do not care .....

Oh please.  The rest of the media are long since bored of her.   Even the fortune her and William spent of TP money died a death. 

As for this Malta trip...it's all cobblers, very expensive, cobblers.   Will she be making a speech?  Better get practicing now.

She's going  to be cutting a ribbon to begin an island wide  search for the Maltese Falcon. Winners receive a lifetime supply of (wait for it...) CHOCOLATE :happy17: :happy20: :yesss: MALTAED MILK BALLS!!!!

:goodpost:  I'll give her more time to get that kind of humanitarian profile under her belt. I do think she is behind though and should do more in that vein.


^Malted milk balls :censored2:   Surely she'll be doing something serious? That concept seems kind of fluff to me. Maybe it's a softball for her first time out alone?

TLLK

Anything for candy!!!!! :happy15: (I did take a few imaginative turns with the Malta trip itinerary.)

TBH haven't heard or read anything official regarding the trip's agenda.

Lothwen

I'm interested to see how long she'll be there for, and how many events she'll do, and what type of events.  And it will be interesting to see if they send William on a solo tour as well in the near future.
You may think you're cool, but do you have a smiley named after you?

QuoteKate Middleton to do First Solor Royal Tour in Malta

Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton is set to embark on her first-ever solo royal tour this September, US Weekly has reported.

Beginning late September, Prince William's wife will spend two days on tour in Malta to commemorate 50 years of the island's independence.

"She's really nervous but excited about stepping out by herself," a Middleton family source told US. Adding, "The trip will focus on some of the causes that connect with her beliefs and patronages."

The Duchess will no doubt want to speak with Her Majesty ahead of the visit. The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh spent the first two years of their married lives together on the island in 1949 while Prince Philip served as a naval officer. The Queen apparently loved her time there and was warmly welcomed by the local people.

The decision to send Kate overseas without William is a clear indication that senior courtiers consider her very capable of conducting official duties without the support of her husband.
