Kate's Diplomatic Triumph: How She Outshone Harry's Royal Tour
Royal Rumble: Kate Steals the Show, Harry Fails to Impress
The British monarchy is abuzz with excitement as President Trump and First Lady Melania prepare for their highly anticipated state visit to the UK. And in a shocking turn of events, it's none other than Kate Middleton who's stealing the spotlight with her impeccable style and diplomatic prowess.
In stark contrast to Prince Harry's lackluster "whirlwind tour" last weekend, Kate has been busy planning a series of high-profile engagements for the Trumps' visit. And let's just say she's not letting her recent cancer recovery slow her down – in fact, it seems to have only added fuel to her determination to dazzle.
According to sources close to the Palace, Kate's itinerary is packed with no less than five royal engagements over the next two days. First up, she'll join husband William for a grand welcome ceremony at Windsor Castle on Wednesday morning, where they'll formally introduce the Trumps to King Charles and Camilla.
But that's just the beginning – later that day, Kate will be seen riding in style through Windsor Great Park in a horse-drawn carriage procession with the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment. And if that weren't enough, she'll then enjoy lunch with the Trumps in the state dining room at Windsor, followed by a viewing of priceless artwork in the Royal Collection (which we're sure will spark plenty of conversation about art history – Kate's degree is certainly coming in handy!).
But the pièce de résistance is yet to come: that night, Kate will don her finest formal gown and tiara for a traditional white-tie State Banquet at Windsor Castle. We can already imagine the headlines screaming with excitement as she takes center stage alongside the Trumps.
And if all that weren't enough, the next morning, Kate will team up with Melania in Frogmore Gardens to showcase the Scouts Squirrels program – a initiative close to her heart (and one that's sure to delight nature-lovers everywhere).
Meanwhile, Prince Harry is back in California, where he's reportedly spending his days tending to his organic chickens and raking in millions from his Netflix documentary and memoir. It's hard not to wonder if the "prodigal son" has finally realized that he's better off sticking to what he knows best – making a quick buck.
But don't just take our word for it – even Prince Harry himself admitted as much in a recent interview, where he confessed to feeling "a lot of support from the British public." Yeah, right. We all know how well his previous attempts at ingratiating himself with the royal family have gone over (hello, Netflix deal?).
And what about his claims that he's simply seeking accountability from his family? Please – we've seen more sincerity in a snake oil salesman's pitch. It's clear to us and everyone else watching that Harry is simply trying to boost his approval ratings, which plummeted to just 27% after his BBC interview last month.
So while Kate Middleton is over here slaying the diplomatic game with style and finesse, Prince Harry is busy making a laughingstock of himself in the States. Who's the real royal now?
As one Palace insider put it: "Kate has always been the unsung hero of the Royal Family – but this state visit is her moment to shine. And let's be honest, it's about time someone stole the spotlight from that egomaniacal brother-in-law of hers."
