威廉夫妇与民同乐 出席牛仔节看斗牛

It was Prince William's turn to make a fashion statement today. As the Royals enjoyed a second day of the cowboy lifestyle in Calgary today, the prince turned out in exactly same checked shirt he had worn the previous day. His wife, the Duchess of Cambridge, is the one who normally recycles her outfits, but the heir to the throne appeared in the same green and black plaid shirt to start the city's annual stampede.

威廉与凯特这对英国王室新婚夫妇的加拿大之旅忙得不亦乐乎，肩负着“国事访问”以及“民间交流”更有“领衔时尚潮流”的义务，这对新婚夫妇一举一动都能引发媒体的狂热注意力。在这一系列曝光中，凯特的穿衣自然是焦点中的焦点，可惜身旁的老公威廉的穿衣水准与凯特站在一起就显得十分十分随意了，紧接着两天亮相不换衣服就连王室方面都颇感无奈。近日，英国威廉王子及凯特夫妇加拿大主持埃布尔达省牛仔节开幕式，观赏牛仔竞技后结束加拿大的访问，之后将转战美国继续访问。

He also wore the same denim Levi jeans, belt, boots and rabbit-fur ten gallon hat. As did Kate. In fact, her only alteration to the previous day's outfit was to wear a slightly different Alice Temperley blouse, a ?445 number with lace trim aptly named Rodeo. But if fashionistas on tour with the couple felt short-changed, back home a nation facing a squeeze on household budgets would surely have been impressed.

在牛仔节开幕式期间，威廉与凯特都戴上了白色的牛仔帽，展现出平易近人的年轻王室的魅力，凯特穿着英国Temperley品牌长袖白色绵丝混织牛仔罩衫，配牛仔裤、牛仔长筒靴。然而老公威廉的穿着与昨天一模一样，他穿着袖子卷起的绿蓝交织格子衬衫、Levi牛仔裤及牛仔长筒靴。威廉的“节俭举动”也许不能赢得时尚人士的好评，但是评论家分析，有可能会赢得英国国内纳税者的赞赏，毕竟英国国内财政负担重已经是一个不争的事实了。For the A St. James's Palace spokesman confirmed that Prince William was wearing the same shirt at the parade as he had done the night before. A source joked: 'He's a bloke'. The Duke and Duchess had the honour of pressing the button to launch the legendary Calgary roared with laughter as it sparked fireworks, rockets and brightly coloured ticker tape to fly into the air. The parade is a two-hour celebration through the streets of the city featuring marching bands, majorettes, floats , cowgirls - and lots of horses. Sitting in their VIP seats surrounded by bales of hay, the couple looked to be thoroughly enjoying the spectacle. The royals are due to leave Calgary and fly to Los Angeles this evening. On their arrival, they will be the guests of honour at a Consular-General Reception held by UK Trade and Investment at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

针对威廉访问不换衣服的事情，有关王室发言人只用了一句话来回应媒体的质疑：“威廉还是个小子！”在观赏完牛仔节活动后，威廉王子及凯特立刻换回传统服装。威廉王子换上他最习惯的蓝色西装及领带。凯特则再一次别上向英国女王借来的枫叶胸针。英国女王伊丽莎白二世还是公主时，于1951年首次访问加拿大，便戴着这只胸针。去年女王访加时，又戴着同一胸针。在加拿大访问的最后一天，凯特只戴着Catherine Walker出品的珠宝，镶在红色缎子及毛织外套上。
