It may be a fairly ordinary task if you're doing it in your kitchen. But standing in the middle of the street on what was only her third official engagement, Kate Middleton could be forgiven for feeling a little shaky. On a surprise visit to Belfast, both Prince William and Kate attempted the difficult flip for a charity fundraiser to mark Shrove Tuesday - Pancake Day. William tossed his pancake with aplomb leaving Kate under pressure to perform.

　　距威廉王子與未婚妻凱特在威斯敏斯特教堂的大婚典禮可以用“指日可待”來計算了，這位準皇室夫婦非但沒有“積極”籌備婚禮，反倒進行他們的“政治使命”前往北愛爾蘭貝爾法斯特進行非正式訪問。誰也沒有想到，還沒有正式嫁入“皇室豪門”的凱特，已經迫不及待嘗試廚房內的“烹飪絕技”，試圖在告訴大家，她才是真正的王妃，也是威廉的妻子。據悉，凱特與威廉在參觀某慈善機構時，被要求“拋煎餅”（當天是煎餅日）來慶祝當地的節日，看得出凱特在拋煎餅的時候承受著巨大的壓力，幸好，煎餅沒有落地，一切安然無恙。

The Royal couple are touring the UK ahead of the wedding in April and by the looks of things, there is little doubt that she is settling into her new role with confidence and ease. And for a refreshing change, Kate opted to wear an on-trend ?650 Burberry trench coat with skirt detailing, a notable contrast to the more formal attire we have seen over the last two weeks - swapping her flat boots for high-heel courts. Perhaps Kate, 29, has been taking note of the fashion critics who have called for the future Princess to adopt an edgier, younger look.

　　雖然4月的婚禮已經“迫在眉睫”，但是近在咫尺的皇室身份并沒讓凱特十分適應，在陪同威廉訪問貝爾法斯特的途中，凱特表現得十分不自然，還沒有表現出完全的自信。在正式場合中，凱特選擇身穿一件價格高達650英鎊的巴寶莉新款米色外套、腳踩黑色高跟鞋示人。有人猜測，也許凱特是聽從了時尚評論員的建議，最近的著裝打扮偏年輕化，展現出了29歲女性的特有風采。

　　There have already been reports that Kate has decided to have her wedding dress designed by Alexander McQueen's avant-garde protegee Sarah Burton - a welcome choice in the fashion world. And although the rumours have been heavily denied, it seems Kate's slight but bold sartorial adjustment today is a statement that she intends to make conscious fashion decisions when it comes to her wardrobe.

　　關于凱特在婚禮中所選擇的“嫁衣”一直是媒體們好奇、并想要探聽的秘密，據悉，凱特有可能選擇時尚大師“亞歷山大·麥昆”的作品，而被亞歷山大·麥昆器重的設計師莎拉·伯頓 (Sarah Burton)也是凱特的選擇之一。也許對于凱特的嫁衣的猜測不到最后時候都不會公布，但是從今天在北愛的著裝上可以看到，凱特還是有可能會選擇“穩重”“端莊”的穿衣風格。
