凯特王妃产后首次公开露面
Usually when the Duchess of Cambridge steps out in recycled outfits, women across the country look on with admiration and think, 'maybe she is like us after all'.
英国王妃、剑桥公爵夫人凯特29日出席了安格尔西岛马拉松开赛仪式，这是她自7月23日抱着乔治小王子亮相后的首次公开露面。
But after Kate made her first public appearance since giving birth five weeks ago, those approving looks will probably be tinged with a little bit of envy.
Yesterday the Duchess, 31, stepped out in a recycled jacket and blouse, and, sensationally, her pre-pregnancy trademark skinny jeans（紧身牛仔裤）, revealing just how quickly she has managed to snap back into shape.
As well as the £180 jeans by designer Paige, she wore a £39 sleeveless patterned blouse by Zara – last worn when she was just a few months pregnant – with a £570 Ralph Lauren hacking jacket and her favourite £80 Pied a Terre wedges.
The Duchess hadn't planned to step back into action so soon, with her first official engagement not scheduled until September 12.
But earlier this week sources indicated that she was considering joining Prince William to officially start a marathon on Anglesey, where the couple have lived for two years.
Kate is understood to have been keen to thank locals for their support and discretion before the couple return to London after William's search and rescue RAF posting ends next month.
In the end a decision wasn't made until just a few hours before the event yesterday morning, after aides were told that 'little rascal' Prince George, as his father likes to call him, had given his parents a relatively peaceful night.
While speaking to locals at the event, the Duchess revealed that her mother, Carole – or granny as she called her – had come up to North Wales to babysit.
'He's doing very well. He's with granny at the moment. He's sleeping well but I know these things suddenly change at a minute's notice,' she told fellow mother Sarah Bingham, 38.
