In addition to not looking her best in the subsequent picture, Kate is holding her hand in an extremely unroyal manner. If it had been shot a mere second later, we can only speculate as to what might have happened. There is no doubting that this is a blue-blooded princess based on the pearly earrings and her expression, but either the expectations have shifted or Kate has had enough.

Although Kate Middleton is well-known and cannot be mistaken for any other royal, at first glance she could be mistaken for Mrs. Parker Bowles.
