Quant on a encore quatre engagements à honorer et que l’on voyage avec un Royal Baby on board, les déplacements officiels se conjuguent au conditionnel. C’est officiel, la duchesse de Cambridge remontera bien la nef central de Westminter Abbey le 4 juin 2013 à 11 heures pour célébrer les 60 ans de couronnement de la reine Elizabeth II. La cérémonie sera suivie d’un royal luncheon. Je vois un néo manteau de cour s’ouvrir sur une robe en dentelle et le Kate Couture Jane Taylor, jouer au funambule sur la somptueuse chevelure.
