The First Announcement
The entire world was delighted when Kate and William got engaged. Their engagement was announced on November 16, 2010. William proposed while the couple were on holiday in Kenya. Clarence House confirmed the engagement and the couple were photographed smiling from ear to ear.
Kate wore the now-famous royal blue dress by London-based designer label Issa. After appearing in the dress, Issa couldn’t keep the dress in stock. Women were clamoring for this gorgeous dress. This may have been the start of “the Duchess effect” but who knows for sure! Kate is undoubtedly stunning in everything she wears.
