Spoiler: Gwyneth ruins everything.

Cage Match: Kate Middleton vs Charlene Wittstock vs Nicolas Cage

Royals have to know how to rock a hat. It is rule number one in the “How to be a Royal” guidebook. But gasp, Kate Middleton sported a hat over the weekend that is reminiscent of one Charlene Wittstock wore several years ago! Did she skip that page in the guidebook? Tsk. Tsk.

9 Reasons Why Charlene Wittstock Is Cooler Than Kate Middleton

9 Reasons Why Charlene Wittstock Is Cooler Than Kate Middleton

I may be in the minority on this one, but I think that Charlene Wittstock is a bajillion times cooler than Kate Middleton. Kate always seems a little frigid and uncomfortable as a princess in waiting, while Charlene seems to really be enjoying her life as the future princess consort of Monaco.
