‘Malta’s First Lady’ Michelle Muscat aims high for Etoile and Soleil: Prince George
The Swarovski-crystal-encrusted evening bag which the prime minister’s wife sent to the Duchess of Cambridge. It’s off-the-shelf and not bespoke.
The website US Weekly reports the Duke of Cambridge as telling a guest at a reception in his honour, held in Valletta:
The Prime Minister’s daughter was very keen on meeting George, so we might have to bring him back so they can have a playdate together.
Well, you know how it is: what every seven-year-old girl really, really wants is a playdate with a toddler in a nappy.
As for the bag:
When Prince William, who went on a royal trip to the Malta in her place, arrived on the tiny European island on Saturday, Sept. 20, he was presented with many official gifts, including a sparkling clutch purse for his pregnant wife.
Selected by Malta’s First Lady, Michelle Muscat, the midnight minaudière, by Maltese handbag designer Sunita Mukhi, boasted countless Swarovski crystals and, appropriately, a white Maltese cross.
Don’t cringe. What’s the point? Just laugh. You majtezwel.

Thank heavens for small mercies – it could have had Kate emblazoned across it.
Ta’ cacu.
How embarrassing at every level.
Can somebody let one and all know that Michelle is NOT, repeat NOT, the first lady.
Thankfully, someone did in the comments below the article.
And yet, somehow, someone else wanted to refute that indisputable constitutional fact.
How and with what are you supposed to wear a bag like that?
A set of colouring pencils.
During the Medieval Mdina festival, when they play the act of the entry of Grand Master L’Isle Adam’s entry in the city. It would look terrific if one could wear it on a black Ghonnella, playing the role of a peasant.
When buying a loaf of bread from a van. Bag is clasped under the armpit.
On your head, at night, when it is raining
When is somebody going to ask Mr or Mrs. Muscat to show the doctor’s certificate that they went and got for their girls being absent from school while they were in New York?
A First Lady is the wife of the head of state, not the prime minister. Malta has no First Lady right now.
Awful fashion and gift sense.
And it’s only EUR630.36 if you’re lost as to what to buy your girlfriend/wife/mother this Christmas – gut bargejn ejjj
But whose money paid for it?
It is not a question of how much that bag cost, but of who actually paid for it.
Forsi xi hadd mil oppozizzjoni isaqsi min hallas ghal holiday ta Michelle Muscat u it tfal go New York . Ukoll min hallas gh al dak il famus handbag li Michelle bghatek LIl Kate . .
There a St John’s Ambulance First Aid kit in that bag.

“Maltese handbag designer Sunita Mukhi”. Indeed.
Sunita (the designer) was in Malta for many years as she was at school with me. Maybe that’s why she gave her that gift? I still agree with your way of thinking on Swarovski crystals etc.
In fact she (the designer) is Indian and not Maltese.
[Daphne – She’s Maltese. If she were born and raised in Britain and held British citizenship, you wouldn’t say that she’s Indian and not British.]
I’m trying to uncringe and force a laugh. I’m failing miserably.
I cannot imagine the elegant and understated Duchess of Cambridge ever carrying such a hideous bag.
The Duchess would not even consider wearing that bag for obvious reasons – one being that she has royal dress protocol.
The best model of the No black rule is the Queen herself. She has never worn black on official engagements other then funeral and remembrance services. Her daughter Princess Anne and her sister Princess Margaret all followed this rule to a tee. Sometimes you might see them in what looks like a black dress but in all likelihood it was a deep midnight blue rather than black.
One of the most famous royal midnight blue dresses was Princess Diana’s dress worn at the white house in 1985. Many mistook it for black but it wasn’t.
Apparently Hello magazine has dedicated a couple of pages on Prince William’s visit to Malta and there is a photo of him with the Prime Minister, Mrs. Muscat and the twins. Mrs. Muscat must be over the moon. She’s got her international 5 minutes of fame.
She still hasn’t made it to Cosmopolitan, nyark nyark.

Parents have told very clearly that children will no longer be excused for family holidays but will be marked as having taken ‘unauthorised absence’.
I really would like some newspaper to ask the prime minister how he and his wife explained their daughters’ recent absence from school for a trip to the United States. Will the social workers give them a call or pay them a visit as is happening to the rest of us?
