Kate Middleton Has An Almost Marilyn Monroe Moment [Photo]


Kate Middleton almost had a Marilyn Monroe moment during a public appearance in London on Wednesday, when a gust of wind lifted her dress.

The Duchess of Cambridge, who gave birth to the future King of England in July, was looking fit as she attended the charity event.

As she approached 9-year-old Tierney Potter and bent over to accept the girl’s bouquet of flowers, a strong gust of wind almost created an embarrassing moment for Kate Middleton.

Showing why she is revered as a fashion icon, Kate, who was wearing a lovely navy Orla Kiely outfit and matching suede shoes, didn’t miss a beat.

Never taking her eyes of the little girl, Kate Middleton continued to listen to what she was saying and used her left hand to hold the dress in place.

The moment made many think of the iconic Marilyn Monroe photo in which her skirts are flying up in the air while she smiles seductively.

Thanks to the candid photo, we can all see how fit Kate Middleton really is, especially considering she is a new mother.

Kate and her husband Prince William welcomed their firstborn on July 22 to the delight of millions in England and around the world.

Kate Middleton was attending the Place2Be Resilience and Emotional Strength in Schools Forum. She is a patron of the organization which provides mental health and emotional support services in the UK.

The event included experts that spoke on how to address teenage issues such cyberbullying and sexting.

“The Duchess was asking questions, and mentioned she was at a meeting yesterday when the issue of sexting came up as well.” Professor Tanya Baron told Mail Online.

Referring to Kate Middleton’s new status as a new mom, Baron added:

“She was interested in what we do and my colleagues’ work on addiction. She’s become a mother and wants to support us. Its like a gift. She’s a very bright woman. She said at one point when I was speaking she was telling the person she was with ‘I hope you’re writing this down’.”

The professor added: “Its not just a fly in and fly out. You can see this means something to her.”

Kate Middleton and her husband Prince William have become more involved in charitable causes following in the footsteps of his mother, Princess Diana.
