King Charles called Catherine a beloved daughter in-law. I also see Catherine respected the Queen and Prince Philip before they died. King Charles and Catherine have a special bond. There is mutual respect and Catherine goes out of her way to make Charles feel respected. I hate to say this it was different kettle of fish for Diana.
Hiya Carol! Really appreciate your lovely message. Sharing bits of history like that is exactly why we kicked off this newsletter in the first place. We know long bits of reading isn't not everyone’s cup of tea, but we're happy you’re enjoying it. You've mentioned some cracking names when it comes to Royal Warrants...Catherine Walker’s a standout! Kate’s coat dress collection from them is quite something. Cheers!
Ooh, thanks for explaining how special Kate having her own warrants will be :) I will watch with great interest what she chooses although my resolve to tighten my belt budget wise might weaken considerably....
From early on, I've treated myself once in awhile to something from one of the companies Kate has bought from. Started after her visit to Canada when she wore really pretty earrings from a small company in British Columbia. I ordered two pair as I lived in BC and, well, they were affordable ;) I still wear them although I don't know if the seller, Lynn McDonald, is still operating, she was quite small and lived in northern BC. And then she wore a gorgeous Black & Co tartan scarf so I looked up their website and put one down on my Christmas list. I was gifted with two! Sadly I lost the tartan on a trip to (ironically) Windsor from the US a few years ago but I still have the other. Love it! Then she wore a pair of Sassy & Co. earrings in memory of a teen who had committed suicide; her mom had started making star shaped earrings. Very affordable and shipped here to the US promptly. I wear them a lot. I bought a couple of mugs from Emma Bridgewater after her visit to their shop. When I was in Ireland and found a shop that had an affordable Hobbs that actually fit me, I snapped that up too.
I would love a pair of "real" Kiki McDonough earrings but have to content myself with Etsy knockoffs ;)
It really is a rather special appointment, isn’t it? We were absolutely thrilled when we first got wind it was happening. You’ve put together quite the neat little lineup of Kate’s go-to labels. And oh yes, those Sassy & Co earrings. We remember those well. Brilliant cause, that one! Cheers!
Hello S Cook! Thanks for being a subscriber and supporting our work. You’re a spot on. That was a little typo, but it’s all sorted now. Catherine had actually turned 43, not 42, when English’s piece came out earlier in the year.
Exciting News!
Love how you told the history of Royal warrants.

Do you mean Kate’s 43rd birthday celebration? Or was the warrant news made public last year?
