Kate Middleton’s Royal Blue Issa Dress for a Royal Engagement

Prince William, bless him, is doing the expected thing, but he’s done his shopping around. He’s dated lots of gorgeous girls, put Kate on the back burner a few times, but she has waited (waity Katy) for William to decide. She wins! After all, what would you do to be the Future Queen of England?

Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but I was wondering if anyone knows where to find this dress (unless it was designed specifically for her)? I tried looking at the Issa London website, but couldn’t find it there :(

Can I ask a question??

Why does the ring he proposed with really matter? If you love someone, truly love someone and want to be with that person for the rest of your life…would it matter the type of ring that was used?

I understand that they are “royalty” so expectations are set a little higher for them in the rest of the world’s eyes…but in real life, they are just two normal people that are exciting about being engaged and getting married. Also, I don’t think I would of complained if my fiancé had proposed to me with a family heirloom…especially it has been one from Princess Di. Materialism seems to be what is ruling the world these days…and it is very sad.

I agree with Belsey. One picture isn’t proof of questioning if his love for Kate isn’t real. There are certain expectations of the royals and whomever they wind up with. Maybe they were just nervous at the point that this picture was taken. That could be for the stiff look. I mean after all it’s the world that is watching this and getting the news and pictures. Wouldn’t you be nervous too?

I think she’s gorgeous! I’ve always thought he was gorgeous! That being said, it takes more than being cute (ex: Jen Aniston and Brad Pitt) to make a marriage work. I think that they can make it work if they try.
As for the ring, I’m on the fence about that. It’s gorgeous no doubt (even for yellow gold, which I hate). However, I don’t know about having an engagement ring from a failed marriage. I know it’s more the sentiment behind it, but I probably would have preferred him to give her a ring that his mother had that wasn’t connected to her failed marriage. But that’s my opinion, and he’s not marrying me. I do think it was a lovely gesture, to give something to his future bride that was from teh mother he loved so much.
As far as her role, I don’t think that the problems in Di and Charles marriage was her overshadowing him. It was he wasn’t in love with her and cheated. No amount of Diana hiding inteh background could change that. Kate should just be herself, as that is the person William fell in love with. Dumbing yourself down and hiding your personal style is not anything I would recommend to anyone who is in a relationship.
