In the newlyweds' first public outing since returning from their exotic Seychelles honeymoon last month, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (also known as Prince William and Kate Middleton) wowed spectators by making a fashionable appearance close to home this weekend at the prestigious horse race known as Epsom Derby.Kate, 29, wore a cream-colored ensemble featuring a tailored jacket and flowing miniskirt with taupe pumps. Her sleek updo was topped by a perfectly placed, relatively understated (in British headgear-happy circles, that is) hat.
William, 28, and his younger brother, Prince Harry, buttoned up in traditional top hat and tails.
The Saturday afternoon race took place at Epsom Downs near London. The couple's attendance, according to People.com, was in support of Queen Elizabeth's horse, Carlton House, a favorite to win (the monarch's horse placed third). The Queen was seen at the derby dressed in bright pink.
Kate's parents, James and Carole Middleton, also attended the event, in support of a horse who ultimately came in fourth.

Honestly, have these prople ever looked, even once, at how ugly those hats make them?

Um, they're British, they're supposed to be ugly!
The Duke of Cambridge is wearing a morning coat, not "tails."

Thank you... I said the same thing when I read this....
A Morning Coat Has tails. The statement is correct.
The Duke should be called by his highest title, Prince.
Maybe I'm getting old but when boobs are left hanging out or barely covered I lose interest. I'm much more turned on by what I can't see as opposed to having it thrown in my face. Does anyone else feel likewise?

Pardon me, but what does this have to do with the story?
Princess Kate was the epitome of modesty.
I agree. Covered up is so much more elegant and sexy.
Beautiful couple but her hat is terrible...What happened to thsoe gorgeous wide brimmed Ascot hats..???

Cristine Fenno, first of all she is NOT Kate Middleton anymore, took William's last name, remember? she married him. Secondly, their FIRST public engagement after returning from the honeymoon was meeting with the Obamas during the President's visit to Britain.

I thought the same thing about the name...but technically, the meeting with the Obamas wasn't a public outing...it was in private at Buckingham Palace and the Duke and Dutchess were not even included in the official luncheon group, they merely stopped by to meet the Obamas (for about a 10-15 minute meeting) in an unofficial capacity. Just because there were photos didn't make it a public outing.
I read that their last name is Mountbatten-Windsor which is rarely used unless in formal matters like on a Marriage Certificate.
they look real nice together, wish them well.happy birthday to all.
