Kate said: “I almost never say this about Kate’s outfits, but I don’t like it. It’s too much,” commented one fan. “I’m picturing Diana in the 80s!” wrote another.  A third fan agreed: “There is way too much going on, the ruffles, the bow, the belt, the pattern. I don’t see her in that dress. Not her style at all.”

Royal fans loved the “Caribbean vibe” of the Duchess’ dress

Other royal fans were delighted with Kate’s ultra-feminine yellow ensemble, with one declaring her look: “A smashing tribute to the ’80s.” “Oh! This is beautiful and she wears it well!!!” wrote another. “The dress has personality and it lightens her up! I love it. I hope she wears more of this style.
