The Royal Family are some of the most famous and revered people in Britain. They are tasked with promoting humanitarian causes, maintaining the good spirits of the people, and representing the UK. With all their glamour, luxury, and high-class demeanor, we sometimes forget that everyone in that family is human.

Middleton is particularly hard to relate to out of all the family, as she is beautiful, graceful, and married to a prince (things we all strive for). But what people don’t remember is that she wasn’t always a royal and used to be a plain old Jane, just like us. Just to prove how human Kate is, we’ve managed to gather some of the less flattering pictured moments by the Princess of Wales.

Yummy Time

When the Princess of Wales takes her time to taste a piece of fruit, everyone stops to pay attention. Prince William and the other bystanders were eagerly waiting to see her reaction.

You can practically see the excitement on William’s face as he anticipates his loving wife’s reaction to the tasting. Kate looks beautiful as usual, and the UK flags in the back certainly help with the ambiance. But let’s face it, there was never a flattering photo of someone putting food in their mouth. Remember that next time you’re considering a food selfie.

Gone With the Wind

Wearing a dress always has the potential for disaster when a strong gust of wind blows by. The Princess of Wales had to use her quick reflexes to prevent a seriously embarrassing picture from existing.

Luckily, Kate managed to turn this picture from a front-page TMZ cover to just another funny photo. The late Queen Elizabeth II was also quick on her reflex, and immediately hid her face just in case this did turn out as a flop. We know shorts under dresses are not very fashionable, but next time you’re up against a windy day, just stick with a pantsuit to avoid any risky business.

Wrong Pose

When Kate visited the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2019 in London, she never thought this photo would be on the news. She must have trod on something and wanted to check it out. Unfortunately, this is the result.

The Princess of Wales was wearing a great outfit that made her fit perfectly with the scenery. Too bad the most popular photo from the event ended up looking all kinds of wrong. Next time you’re checking out the bottoms of your shoes, be aware of your hand positioning and avoid pulling a “Kate”.

Victory!

We can only imagine how happy Kate must have been when this picture was taken. She either heard the best joke ever, experienced a win for her favorite sports team, or is just a really, really good actress.

William must be proud to have a wife with such a beautiful smile. It’s clear that when the Princess laughs, everyone’s faces light up as well. Speaking of smiles, can anyone point us to her dentist? This photo would make him a heck of an ad campaign.

Rowing Her Way

Kate is quite happy to sit in this German rowboat, or at least that’s what it looks like. This is actually an RG Heidelberg row boat. They are a German rugby union club from Heidelberg, Germany.

The Princess of Wales is certainly not one to find herself swimming in a lake, so we hope there weren’t strong winds at the time. Either way, there’s nothing like a casual afternoon swim in the pond on a nice summer day. As for Kate, even in this secretly taken photo, her posture is appealing. Good for you Kate!

A Game of Pantomime

Sometimes we find ourselves having a tough time expressing what we want with words. This is when exaggerated expressions and hand movements really go a long way.

In this picture, the princess was visiting the coast guard base in Caernarfon, Wales. No, Kate wasn’t pantomiming the words for “buy me two large melons”. She was actually trying to look really excited and confident and it translated into her body movements in this slightly awkward photo.

Not Her Best Day

We all have bad days occasionally. Sometimes they follow a night of too much heavy drinking, and other times we just lack a bit of sleep. Kate here looks like she had a bit of both.

The Princess of Wales appears to be really trying to focus and listen to whoever is speaking. Unfortunately for her, she also looks like an ad for the world’s worst hangover. As we all know only too well, tiredness and a possible migraine are quite hard to ignore. At least her fashion choice is spot on, as usual, and she still looks quite pretty.

Huh?

The expression on Kate’s face is completely priceless in this one. She clearly saw something that made her go “wait… what?” in her mind, and this was the outcome.

Whoever took this picture was either really lucky or asked her something that created this expression. It was probably something more along the lines of “what did you think about Brexit”? But who knows…

Mona – Kate – Lisa

The problem with faking a smile is that under certain circumstances, it might end up looking like a condescending smirk. The Princess is revealing her teeth a bit too, as she probably saw something she really didn’t like.

We call this pose the ‘Mona – Kate – Lisa’, because just like the famous painting, no one can tell what Kate is really feeling here. Is that a smile? If you pay close attention, you’ll notice that Kate’s body language is also very closed. She’s guarding her bag close to her body, and her shoulders are rounded and slumped in. We wonder what she saw…

William is Not the Only One Who Makes Her Laugh

What Kate Middleton undoubtedly knows, being a mother herself, is that kids can also be quite funny sometimes. Perhaps Kate found it funny that the kid on the right was trying to eat her cup rather than drink from it.

The Princess of Wales does much humanitarian work and volunteers with many children’s organizations. We can see her here surrounded by some of the sweet children she works with. It’s easy to see that she is genuinely laughing in this one. Her face is glowing, and every single muscle is being used to hold herself from bursting into tears.

Commonwealth Cricket

Royals have this thing with participating in sports activities when traveling on duty. It’s become like part of the agenda that can’t be changed or altered. On one of Kate Middleton’s trips to New Zealand, she joined a cricket game.

So, we can see that Middleton practiced the right position for standing, assuring she doesn’t reveal any surprises. However, it’s a shame she missed out on the how-to-keep-your-face-in-place lessons, as that could have avoided this photo.

Before the Transformation Age

There are very few photos of Kate Middleton in a black cab scattered around the web. This is one of them. She has gone through a bit of a transformation since these days, thank God for that.

She was a beauty back then too, but we prefer the more sophisticated, honorable, and don’t do black knee-high boots anymore look.
