Kate Middleton, wearing a dress from the UK store Jesire, undertook a solo appearance this evening in London. With her husband, Prince William, away in the Falklands, she's now focusing on the institutions near to her heart. At the end of 2011, Kate announced her plans to become a royal patron of London's National Portrait Gallery. She has a long-standing interest in painting, having studied art history when an undergraduate at St. Andrew's in Scotland.

Today, she stepped out to check out the museum's new exhibit from recently deceased London painter Lucian Freud. It was Kate's first solo public appearance since marrying William back in April of 2011. There may soon be a more permanent royal feature at the National Portrait Gallery. It was announced today that Kate will pose for a portrait bound for the museum.

In My SIX years at a highly respected university I have learned to recognize hateful, bitter, jealous, ignorant women. Kate is beautiful, EDUCATED, kind, with a keen social conscience that will serve her country well. Better get used to it, she is going to be the Queen of England.

What a dumb argument. Most men let their d*cks decide, and you think that is a "clever"accomplishment on her part ? And I totally believe that is the "only thing you know......"

The only thing i know is that she has to be extremely clever to have dated and landed the future King of England wIthout making a single mistake in ten years.

I think there will be a divorce. William has a Gemini cusp on the 7th house of his astrology chart which indicates 2 marriages. And whether or not someone has an education does not prove they are really all that intelligent. She just bores me to death, and yes looks pretty empty headed with facial expressions, I think she might be 30 years old but in her brain she's not that mature. She's so bloody boring she'll make a very tedious anything, whatever she does. I miss Diana, now THERE was a woman.

I dont think there will be a divorce.This is a true love match as was Elizbeth and Philip. Kate is university educated. She will be a wonderful queen, wife, and mother.

Dull and looks like no brain activity upstairs as usual. I just can't get excited about her. She rarely dresses well. I am just looking forward to the divorce I hope they get one soon.

I really hate the way she dresses. It is supposed to be classy but it's just so bourgeois and old...

Dress is to heavy on top and needed it to be past her knees, to be a long elegant coat dress. Add black stockings to the Jimmy Choos. Kate is adorable, but never seems to finish off her outfits with elegance.
