Kate Middleton's 'sexy' comment about Prince William at public parade 'revealed'
Cheeky!Kate Middleton once made a cheeky comment about her husband, Prince William, during a parade back in 2006.
The Princess of Wales’ first official appearance with the royal family proved to be a memorable one!
Kate Middleton’s cheeky comment about Prince William
19 years ago on December 15, 2006, Kate made her first appearance alongside the royal family.
The Princess of Wales, who was 24 years old at the time, joined the late Queen Elizabeth II for William’s passing out parade at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.
Having officially graduated from his the royal military academy, William was set to join the Household Cavalry’s Blues and Royals as a second lieutenant.
Kate, wearing a scarlet red jacket, was in the front row. She watched as William marched alongside more than 200 newly commissioned military officers. The queen then inspected them.
Kate may be a pro at royal engagements these days, but she must have forgotten there would be cameras following her every move on the day.
Speaking to a couple of women at the event, according to an ITV lipreader, Kate said: “I love the uniform – it’s so, so sexy.”
Kate’s ‘rejection’ of William’s Christmas offer
Kate’s appearance came after she’d allegedly rejected his invitation to spend Christmas at Sandringham.
It was unusual that Kate was asked to go to Sandringham for Christmas with William. This is because they weren’t married at the time.
Kate, who was working as an accessory buyer for Jigsaw at the time, reportedly refused William’s offer, saying she’d rather wait until “she had a ring on her finger”.
In her book, The Palace Papers, royal author Tina Brown claimed: “Kate, reflecting the confident mood of her Philip Treacy hat, maintained her resolve that she would not go to such a significant royal family gathering unless she had a ring on her finger.
“She declined. William met her decision with silence.”
When did Kate spend her first Christmas with the royals?
The Princess of Wales spent the next few Christmases with her family, before finally getting to spend Christmas with the royals in 2011, a few months on from her wedding to William.
William and Kate announced their engagement in December 2010. They married months later in April 2011.
The ceremony was watched by millions around the world as they exchanged their vows at Westminster Abbey.
Now 14 years on, the Prince and Princess of Wales have three children, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, seven.
