《キャサリン妃  2023年以来、お一人での地方公務に! @南ウェールズ》

1 / 30 (木)

Visit to 
『Tŷ Hafan (& becoming their Patron) 
and
  Corgi (Welsh textile manufacturer)』

The princess's visit focused on spotlighting the wellbeing of children and families as well as celebrating excellence in Welsh textiles manufacturing, both of which are themes close to her heart

キャサリン妃がまたまた、サプライズ登場!!

パレスの直前の発表で、この日キャサリン妃が南ウェールズをご訪問

思い返せば、キャサリン妃がソロで
ロンドン郊外というか、地方公務に臨まれたのは
なんと2023年以来だった!

これも体調が落ち着いている証拠
喜ばしい限り❤️

公務ができる喜び,みたいなものもきっとおありなのだろうなあ✨

恒例のパターンとして
公務と同時に、訪問先のパトロンとなられた発表も!

最初の訪問先である
子供達のホスピスTŷ Hafan』
のパトロンに。

'Opening in 1999 as Wales' first children's hospice, Tŷ Hafan continues to provide specialist care to children with life-shortening conditions, offering vital support to them and their families, throughout life, at end of life, and beyond.'

The Princess' visit to South Wales today is the first time she has visited the nation since undergoing her treatment and recovery. Her last engagements there were with her husband in October 2023.

During her visit today Catherine has sat through a musical therapy session in action.

To mark the visit and the announcement of the patronage, Kensington Palace have arranged for a donation of musical instruments to be provided to the charity to allow them to conduct more music therapy sessions in the future.

実は、チャールズ国王も2001年からこちらのパトロンで
更にそれ以前に、ダイアナ妃がこちらの資金集めをされていたこともあったよう。

というわけで、キャサリン妃が
義理のご両親からここのパトロネージュを受け継がれた形

思えば、キャサリン妃がロイヤルメンバーとなられて
最初にパトロンとなられたところの1つが
EACH(イースト・アングリア・チルドレンズ・ホスピス
と、こちらも子供達のホスピスでした。

最初の訪問先Tŷ Hafan』の滞在中には、
スタッフ達からのヒアリングに、
ここで生活、またはケアを受けている子供達やその家族とお会いに。

プレイ&音楽セッションや、アートセッションにも参加
子供達との互いに、ハンドペインティングもされたりも。

「子供達もこれは大好きよ」と言いながら、キャサリン妃が少女の手にペイントをした後、
今度は、ご自身の手にも。

ご自身の闘病があってか、以前にも増して子供達との交流が楽しそうというか
とっても熱意が印象的だった。

続いて、2つ目の訪問先
なんと、コーギ社!

私も大好きな、ウェールズを代表するニットを製造するブランド❤️
それはどうでもいいとしてw
2014年にはジョージ王子も,ここのニットを!
誕生翌年の皇太子ご一家のポートレートで
ジョージと書かれたコーギ社のブルーのニットを着用
超可愛いかった❤️
これ見て欲しくなったもんなあ

Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, pose with their son, Prince George, for an official family portrait at Kensington Palace.


創業は1892年で、
1992年から、チャールズ国王のロイヤルワラントを保有

皇太子時代から、日常用のソックスを作っているそう。
国王はグレー、ネイビー、ダークグリーンの 「毎日履ける 」靴下を好まれ
その好みに合わせて一足ずつ 「少し長めに 」作っている、
とスタッフが明かした。

滞在中、キャサリン妃は工場内の視察や、製造工程についてお聞きになったり
なんとソックス作りに挑戦も!

どうやら、これは上手くいかなかった模様で
大笑いしながら、ソーリーで締め(笑)

私もチャレンジしたい!!というか、働きたい❤️

去る前にはキャサリン妃へのプレゼントも!

皇太子妃には、アイボリーのカシミヤジップカーディガン

そして、なんとキャサリン妃母キャロルさんの70歳のバースデープレゼントとして
ネイビーのラップ(ショール)も!!
これにはキャサリン妃も「予想していませんでした」とビックリ&感動

Before the Princess left, Mr Jones's daughter, Cari, 12, gave her a cream, zip up cashmere cardigan, made especially for her, as well as a navy cashmere wrap for her mother, Carole Middleton, to mark her 70th birthday this weekend.

'That's so sweet of you, thank you, I wasn't expecting it,' she said

今後、どこかでアイボリーのニットがお披露目されるはず!❤️

そして公務が終了し、お車で帰宅、、、
と思いきや、15メートル動いたあたりで、車がストップ!

3台並走していた、その先頭車両からキャサリン妃が降りてこられ
「Who’s calling?」と(ヒールで)小走りで、1人の少女の方へ。

「Hello Princess!」と叫んだ少女の声に応えて、わざわざ下車されたキャサリン妃

少し会話をした後、少女が
「Are you a princess?」と質問をすると
「そう、この街がどんなところか見に来たのよ」
とご自身のことではなく、地元を称賛すべくような話へ。
少女は納得したかは?だが(笑)
大人は、さすが!の声しきりw

バナナを貰ったり返したり、投げたり、色々あったが、それは割愛

最後は、少女が
「I want a princess〜」と叫ぶ声を背に、
流石にお車へと戻られて、帰宅の途へ

この日のキャサリン妃ファッションは〜!

コート+ドレス のいわゆる鉄板スタイル
が、冬コーデながら、白×黒という、
明るさのあるモノクロコーデがお見事

ホスピスも訪問だし、派手なのもNGだが
暗いのもね、、、ちょうど良いカラーバランスのコーデ

全て着回しアイテムで
生成りのロングコートは、サヴィル・ローのテイラー《クリス・カー》
2023年のデビュー以来、今回が3度目の着回しで
実は色違いで、黒もお持ちなほど、お気に入りといえるデザイン

インナーには、白黒のボウタイチェックドレス!
これは、これまでに3度着用されている《ザラ》!
2020年のデビュー当時、セールで16ポンド(約3000円)になっていたという
格安が話題となったが(私も日本で見た)
ドレス単体での着用はもちろん、コートとのコーディネートなど
とにかくシーズンレス素材ゆえに、超便利なドレス

ホント、買っておけば良かった、と毎度見るたび思う、、、

アクセサリーはシンプルに、スクエア形フープのみ。

すっかり甘めが影をひそめ
アクセサリー使いも、シャープなものが主流に。

そして、靴
キャサリン妃が小走りまで出来ちゃったヒールは
《ラッセル&ブロムリー》

前回の公務でもこれだったし、最近愛用率が高い一足

ポインテッドでブロックヒールと
安定感あって、でもモード感出るからかしら

これも最近の共通点:全て着回しで
白×黒のモノトーンコーデというのが、寒い冬にも映える上
上品な華やかさもあり、着回しクイーンの本領発揮!
を実感するファッションでした

この日の訪問は、
子供と家族のウェルビーイングにスポットライトを当てることと、
ウェールズの織物製造業の卓越性を称えることにフォーカス

体調を見ながらとはいえ
着々と公務が増えているキャサリン妃
サプライズに私はパニくりますが(笑)
またの登場を期待しとります。

The princess then helped four-year-old Maggie, sibling of Felix, make a handprint.

Kate grabbed her hand and said: 'Shall we do it together? Would you like me to paint your hand?'

She held her hand and brushed on red paint and said: 'Tell me it tickles. Is it ticklish? My kiddies would love this if I went and did this back at home today.'

Afterwards, Lottie, 10, who is also Felix's sister, took her turn to paint the princess as Kate quipped 'it's very relaxing'. 

Then asked 'ready?' and placed her hand on a piece of paper and said 'I should have done my nails.'

Looking at her mark left behind she said: 'It's huge!'

Then after washing off the paint she signed it 'Catherine' next to the handprint which will be digitised and put on the wall with others from children, their siblings and parents.


Like her father-in-law, King Charles, who visited the hospice in 2018, Kate also created a handprint artwork

====================

『PART ②』

visited Corgi, a family run textiles manufacturer in Ammanford

Corgi was founded in 1892 by the current owners' great great grandfather, selling socks to miners.

In the 1960s, the company expanded to include traditional men's knitwear including jumpers and scarves

When Mr Jones and Ms Wood, took over, they expanded again to include womenswear and childrenswear. They also purchased machines to start making certain types of socks.

They now employ 50 people and export to 34 countries, making around 200,000 pairs of socks a year.

The company has held a Royal Warrant from the King since 1992. The monarch likes an 'every day' sock in grey, navy and dark green, with each pair made 'slightly longer' to suit his tastes, staff revealed.

They also make white and red socks for the various Highland regiments, which are used for ceremonial events. Each pair takes a whole day to make and would cost around £600 a pair if they were sold to the public.

コーギーは1892年に現オーナーの曾祖父によって設立され、鉱夫たちに靴下を販売していた。

1960年代には、ニットやスカーフを含む伝統的な男性用ニットウェアを扱うようになった。

ジョーンズ氏とウッド氏が会社を引き継ぐと、婦人服や子供服も扱うように。
また、ある種の靴下を作るための機械も購入した。

現在では50人の従業員を抱え、34カ国に輸出し、年間約20万足の靴下を製造。

また、ハイランド地方の各連隊の白と赤の靴下も作っており、これらは儀式の際に使用される。一足作るのに丸一日かかり、一般に販売すると一足600ポンドほど。

ジョーンズ氏によると、王室の訪問は、何十年も働いている忠実なスタッフに「真の活力」を与えたと語った。

She was also given a tour of the factory floor, looking at the threads and production materials

As she stepped out to her convoy, a gaggle of onlookers cheered and waved and one small girl could be heard shouting 'Hello Princess.'

After driving some 15 metres towards them, she got out of the car to say hello.

'Thanks for saying hello,' she told the little girl, three-year-old Lily-Rose Logan. 'I heard you from all the way over there. I've just been to see this amazing factory where they make wonderful socks.'

Lily-Rose gave the Princess her toy banana to hold. When she gave it back, she threw it on the floor.

3歳のリリー=ローズ・ローガンへ
「挨拶してくれてありがとう」
「向こうからあなたの声が聞こえたわ。素晴らしい靴下を作っている素晴らしい工場を見てきたところなの」
