Catherine, Princess of Wales had another faux pas while celebrating her anniversary with William, Prince of Wales. For their 14th wedding anniversary, the royal couple visited Scotland, which is a sentimental place for them — they initially met in the country at St. Andrew’s University before tying the knot in 2011. They promoted their visit with a video posted to X. “We’re excited for an inspiring two days here celebrating the power of community and connection,” they wrote. On April 29, Kate Middleton and and Prince William were photographed visiting the town of Tobermory on the Isle of Mull. The couple visited multiple vendors while walking along the streets of the town, and that is where the embarrassing moment for Kate unfolded.

Close-ups of Kate showed that she had something stuck on the right side of her teeth. It was unclear when it happened, but it was not the type of food chunk that could be easily dislodged with her tongue. To fish out that speck between her teeth, Kate would have had to employ a floss stick or toothpick — which would seem a rather un-queenly gesture to perform in front of a crowd.
Fortunately, the stuck food blemish may have gone mostly unnoticed at the time. Maybe onlookers were distracted by her and her husband’s coordinated outfits. Both of them wore blue button-ups, with William sporting a gray checked blazer and dark blue pants. Meanwhile, Kate opted for a brown tweed blazer with gold buttons and mocha-colored skinny jeans. She accessorized with stacked gold necklaces and a pair of sunglasses. But unfortunately for the Princess of Wales, food being stuck in her teeth is not even the most embarrassing moment Kate has had captured on camera.

Kate Middleton’s wardrobe malfunctions
Not long after they were married, Kate Middleton and Prince William visited Calgary as part of their Canada tour in July 2011. It included a trip to meet members of the military at the airport. During that expedition, Kate made an ill-advised dress choice that led to a wardrobe malfunction.

On the summer day, she wore a lightweight yellow dress that was suitable for the sunny weather, but ill-suited for the windy conditions. The skirt of Kate’s dress flew up while she met members of the Canadian military, and photos captured her desperately grabbing to get the skirt back in place. Jenny Packham, who designed the slinky number, spoke about the international outfit mishap. “Well, I didn’t know it was going to be worn on a windy runway,” she told The Standard in September 2012, through laughs. “But I did think maybe in future I will put in more weighting, just in case,” she added.
Perhaps additional weights in the skirt are what helped Kate save herself from a full-blown wardrobe fail when she suffered a similar experience while attending the wedding of Princess Eugenie in October 2018. For that occasion, the Princess of Wales wore a fuchsia dress by Alexander McQueen. As members of the royal family were making their way to St. George’s Chapel for the ceremony, they struggled with the wind. Luckily for Kate, she was able to quickly grab her skirt before the wind blew it up to reveal her knickers, which downgraded the moment from embarrassing to just slightly awkward. That time around, Kate’s quick acting led to her raised skirt only showing a little extra leg.
