Awkward Kate Middleton Moments That Were Captured By Millions

while kate middleton is known for being poised and positively regal she isn't immune to the occasional slip up it turns out kate is actually a lot more relatable than many of us would think here's a look at some of the duchess of cambridge's most awkward moments that played out before millions members of the royal family are tasked with always looking effortlessly composed and elegant usually kate does a pretty good job of floating through public events and appearances without a hitch at one heavily attended event however the duchess suffered a seriously awkward wardrobe mishap in 2013 kate paid a visit to the irish guards parade to celebrate st patrick's day things went wrong when the heel of her shoe slipped into a grate and got stuck apparently kate wasn't too rattled by the awkward accident in fact it seems she handled the situation with the effortless grace she's famous for the duchess reached for her husband's hand and smilingly bent down to pull the heel out of the grate herself trust kate to deal with an embarrassing situation so elegantly most of the time royal events consist of greeting crowds giving speeches cutting ribbons and so on however every now and then the royals are sent to an event that is a little more unusual in 2014 kate and william ended up in a dj booth while touring adelaide australia the couple were given a little tutorial by dj shane peter before they hit the decks themselves in a video by sky news you can even see kate in action as she tries her hand at some vinyl scratching definitely not an activity that most royals are accustomed to we all have our ups and downs kate clearly felt a little uncomfortable trying out her new skill giving a slightly awkward thumbs up to the crowd based on the smiles and laughs of kate and her husband it's clear that the couple had tons of fun learning this unexpected new skill even if they looked and felt a little awkward in the process anyone who follows the royals will know that a public display of affection is not always considered appropriate as royal etiquette expert micah meyer told people there is no official rule against royal pdas but most royal couples choose to refrain from showing affection during official visits kate middleton and prince william have only exchanged a few pdas throughout the years in 2019 the couple had an awkward moment when kate seemed to shrug off a rare affectionate gesture from her husband the incident occurred on bbc's christmas special a very royal christmas at one point during the show william reached out to touch kate's arm but kate seemed to instantly shrink away while kate didn't let her face give anything away about why she shrugged off her husband's hand it looks as if the gesture made her uncomfortable we'll never know for sure why she dodged the prince's hand but perhaps she simply thought a pda simply wasn't appropriate for a televised christmas special the relationship between the duchess of cambridge and her sister-in-law meghan markle has been a source of speculation while some are convinced that kate and megan have a frosty relationship others believe that their feud was largely fabricated whatever the truth may be of their relationship it's clear that the two women have shared some uncomfortable moments in the book finding freedom sources reportedly close to the royals revealed some secrets about the two women and their supposed feud while the duchesses were said to have never fought or argued apparently the women never bonded in 2017 when megan and prince harry were dating kate allegedly came across megan at kensington palace it was revealed although both were heading out to go shopping in the same street kate went in her own range rover is this all a joke to you it seemed that megan had hoped that kate would take her an eventual duchess under her wing and quote give her the lie of the land but instead the relationship remained distant and awkward between the two when it comes to royal photo ops it's customary for the royals to get immersed in their surroundings when the couple attended a training day for the london marathon they took part in a race when they visited an elementary school they took part in the children's art program so it's no surprise that when they visited warner brothers studio they were pictured interacting with props from some of the studio's films during one of the funniest moments from the event william and kate were asked to duel with wands from harry potter in a video of the event the couple are seen learning some wand waving techniques before they are tested on their moves in a pretend duel it's leviosa not leviosa watching the couple pretending to duel complete with their own sound effects is undeniably hilarious as is the look on kate's face when she realizes what this photo shoot involves while the couple are clearly a little uncomfortable to be waving wands around it's also evident that they're having heaps of fun too most of the time kate middleton looks impeccably put together when she attended princess eugenie's wedding however she nearly experienced a seriously embarrassing fashion faux pas kate was wearing a gorgeous fuchsia alexander mcqueen dress with a full skirt so far so good but when she stepped outside of st george's chapel a sudden gust of wind turned her dress into a sail blowing her skirt straight up and creating a marilyn monroe moment luckily kate managed to pin down her skirt just in time what a pro it turns out the duchess has a system in place to ideally prevent these moments from happening she often wears static bodysuits to discourage her skirt from flying up in the wind according to the sun but the fashion hack didn't exactly work this time still kate handled the close call with grace and couldn't help but giggle when kaden william attended the british academy of film and television arts awards show in 2020 the couple had a hard time keeping their usual composure in fact their facial expressions made it pretty clear they were seriously displeased with some of the speeches at one point margot robbie accepted an award for brad pitt and spoke on his behalf while reciting his acceptance speech she made a jab about meghan markle and prince harry's departure from the royal family saying quote his words not mine when the cameras cut to william and kate the couple were laughing or at least pretending to at the joke but when rebel wilson made a dig at prince andrew in her speech kate and william were clearly uncomfortable and i was like a little nervous but then i just thought just crush it according to fox news the couple was not expecting awkward jokes to be made about the royal family in fact uk media commentator neil shawn told the publication that the reaction shots were actually edited to make the couple look less uncomfortable that's right it seems their original reactions to the jokes were even worse than those we witnessed on tv the love story between kate and william began when the couple were both students at the university of saint andrews before marrying prince william kate never had any experience with royalty so it's no wonder that she felt pretty shy during their first encounter in christopher anderson's book about the couple william and kate a royal love story he explained how kate allegedly curtsied when she first met her future husband and apparently kate's charming awkwardness caused prince william to spill his drink all over himself in kaden williams first official interview together since getting engaged she recounted the couple's first meeting i actually went bright red when i met you and sort of scuttled off feeling very shy about about meeting you it turns out members of the royal family can be just as clumsy as the rest of us even though kate is usually the perfect picture of grace and poise she had a pretty embarrassing and quite literal slip up in 2019 the moment happened when kate and william were leaving the troubadour white city theater in london the duchess must have placed a foot wrong because she appeared to stumble just before she reached the car what made the awkward moment totally adorable though was how her husband instinctively reached out to steady his wife in case she fell luckily kate regained her balance on her own still we loved seeing prince william's ultra quick reaction as the couple got into the car they could be seen sharing a little giggle about the embarrassing trip kate and her sister-in-law are reported to have a somewhat uncomfortable relationship and some of that discomfort was captured on camera at the 2020 commonwealth day ceremony the event was the final official appearance of prince harry and meghan markle it was also the first public meeting of the two couples since megan and harry announced they would be stepping back from the royal family i really tried to adopt this british sensibility of a stiff upper lip i tried i guess we tried when kate and william arrived at their seats they briefly greeted the couple sitting next to megan and harry but things got uncomfortable when kate and her husband seemed to ignore their two family members while william ultimately looked to briefly acknowledge megan kate avoided eye contact altogether yikes kate was known to be passionate about sports as a child based on some of the duchess's appearances at sporting events it seems her love of competition hasn't faded in fact she can't help but get involved in the action whenever she gets the opportunity when kate isn't able to play though she enjoys getting to support her favorite teams and players from the stands in one memorable instance kate and her husband were seen in the stands at wimbledon men's final in 2019 kate pulled some exaggerated faces that were nothing short of hilarious to see on a member of the royal family by the looks of things she went through a whole series of emotions during the game she was seen with her head in her hands her mouth a gape and her hands over her eyes while kate is usually stoic and composed her over-the-top reactions to this tennis match revealed that she can't help but get emotionally invested when it comes to sports they show great sportsmanship as well i think tennis is brilliant for that in particularly wimbledon the royal family members tend to become patrons of various organizations as part of their royal duties as of 2019 kate was reported to have 19 patronages one of which being action on addiction in 2020 things got seriously awkward when it was publicly revealed that kate had been a little lacks in her duties during a virtual tour of the action on addiction facility kate mentioned that she hadn't visited in a while i was just looking at she's been a while since i last visited i think it was 2012 that you were relapsing that's eight whole years although the man may not have been trying to throw some shade on the duchess the moment was certainly cringy one user commented on a clip that was shared to twitter writing why was this made public the embarrassment eight years yikes we wouldn't be surprised if kate goes on to pay an in-person visit to the organization to smooth things over kate is often praised for being good with children after all the royal has three of her own at one royal appearance in 2019 however kate had an encounter with a group of school children that left her looking pretty silly at the event kate was meant to help the kids pick out christmas trees and make christmas decorations according to caitlin menza a commentator at the event the kids weren't very interested in kate's status nor her christmas tree apparently kate picked out a tree and tried to get the attention of the kids menza told the royally obsessed podcast no kids were paying attention to her the kids were not looking at her at all it's ironic that kate has the world's attention but struggled to get the attention of a few school kids
