We have royalty on a magazine cover this month. The elegant Duchess of Cambridge, is on the cover of British Vogue for June 2016, and she is looking beautiful as always.
This is a very different cover from Vogue. I must confess I was expecting to see another supermodel, so seeing the Duchess on the cover was a pleasant surprise. This is the first magazine shoot, she has ever consented to and I am not surprised she agreed to do Vogue. The Princess of Wales, Princess Margaret, the Queen Mother, and the Queen have all been photographed by the Vogue team over the past 100 years. Also, Princess Diana appeared on the cover of British Vogue in 1994, so it kind of answers why she decided to appear on Vogue. Following in their footsteps I guess.
“It’s a huge honour and incredibly exciting for us to have HRH The Duchess of Cambridge featuring on the cover of British Vogue and as part of our centenary issue,” Vogue editor-in-chief Alexandra Shulman said today. “For me personally it has been a wonderful experience to have had the opportunity to work with her on this, and I am immensely proud of what we have produced. This special issue of the magazine is very close to my heart as it had to reflect on 100 years of British Vogue, and so I am hugely grateful that we have been able to continue with our tradition of outstanding royal portraiture with these pictures.”
She is gorgeous, I’m not a big royal family fan but I love Kate (Duchess!) She’s just so normal, from what I’ve heard! XD
Neither am I but she looks great.
I love her but the cover looks way too photoshopped to me. There is something about her face that looks masculine when in reality, she is a very beautiful woman. I wish the photos were less posed.
She is beautiful. Love her but I see what you mean.
Have to agree, the photo is heavily photoshopped. I wouldn’t really expect anything less, so of course she does look absolutely gorgeous, as would most women given the same editing treatment. I do love the clothing though, a lot less stuffy than what she’s often made to wear when on royal duty. Tx
Yea I agree. Thanks Tracey xo
I saw these images the other day and they are lovely. So natural with the poses 🙂
Yea they are x
I don’t normally like her clothing, but i really like that stripey top she has on x
Yea me too xo
I love the styling on these photos. The colour palette is beautiful and unexpected. I love how natural it all looks.

Yea me too..
I am a big fan of the royal family, especially her! She does look a little different in these photos, which is a shame if they were heavily photoshopped! But it is nice seeing her in casual clothes.
Yea I love seeing her in casual clothes.
Aw, she looks really pretty! Lovely post
Thank you.
I was talking about the royals today!i think she looks fab and nice to see her looking more relaxed!

Yea I agree xo
She always looks absolutely amazing, such a beautiful lady. x
Yea she is xo
Duchess of Cambridge looks really lovely and I love the fact that she is wearing such casual cloths but carrying them off beautifully.
I like her and have always thought she was beautiful, but these photos do not do her justice they don’t look right to me x
Really? I think she looks great.
Like many of my age group I went through a very anti monarchy when Diana died. For me he only reason the monarchy survived was the boys; Wills and Harry. I have mellowed as I have got older and glad we still have a royal family.
The boys are the future and it has been a delight to watch them grow up and how their adult lives have panned out. I am a big fan of Wills, Kate and their children as well as Harry so I love to read on how there lives are doing.
I love the face they are making their lives as normal as possible. Funnily enough I have Invictus; the road to the games on right now, with Prince Harry in. I firmly believe the young royals are why the family is loved and accepted.
Oh I digress as ever; Yes I love Kate. She has carved out her own destiny and role in The Royal family. Diana would have been envious (meaning in a loving not nasty way) yet very proud of how different it is for them today.
Kate looks stunning and just like the girl next door. Yes a very Jennifer Aniston type gal who is also a favourite of mine. Yes I will buy a copy of Vogue this month. It’s been ages since I have.
I am really pleased you covered this. Thank you Stella
Thank you for reading. I am a fan of the young royals too x
What a lovely change to see someone different on the cover of a magazine. And see her looking so happy as well x
Yea it is. Thanks Rhian x
What I love about her is that she is so down to earth and just seems like a normal lass. A refreshing change from pompous royals.
Yea it is a refreshing change xo
Love the cover and love her down to earth looks. I do think she is refreshing 🙂
The Duchess of Cambridge always looks great in photos. Nice to see her in casual clothes.
Yes it is. Love this look x
I often wonder if Kate can believe the life she now has! Must be an incredible feeling to follow the other Royals on the cover of Vogue. I actually think these pics are some of the more old fashioned I’ve seen her do. She’s certainly a style queen wherever she goes!
Yeap she is.
She does look ao effortlessly beautiful but it makes me wonder if we all would be of we had that much money :/
Yea it makes me wonder too
How cool is that? I definitely like the casual look! It’s a nice change of pace!
Yes it is..
It’s nice to see real, everyday beauty on the cover for a change. Loving the casual look too.
Yea it is xo
The styling is gorgeous and she is naturally beautiful, a great cover.
Yea it is a beautiful cover xo
I’m such a fan of Kate, she always looks so elegant and classically beautiful.
