Yes, she appears to be a keeper.

A fekkin' boxlock?? Is that Willie pointing the closed gun at her bum?

Finally, a classy dame back in the Monarchy.

A true Princess!

I must agree with Bill, A boxlock???? Where's the Purdy or the Holland & Holland we are talking Royalty here:eek:

If she would be holding an H&R single barrel she would still have my approval.

Reason number 9 why I am completly smitten by her.

I have a fur hat almost exactly like the one she is wearing. I wore it a couple of times the last time I went shooting in Scotland. A number of people took my picture in it, but Kate does a lot more in hers than I did in mine. The best looking woman on my trip remarked the first drive I wore it on; "I absolutely LOVE to see a man wearing a fur hat with some style that's not a State Troopers hat!" I swore she won the Catherine Zeta-Jones Look-Alike contest. Eightbore knows the one.....

Is that Michelle O in the back ground? Oh wait... no, never mind. I've never thought much of the Monarchy but this makes me like it a lot more.

Let's not knock the Duchess' boxlock - it could be a 16 ga. Westley Richards droplock or a Mackay-Brown 20!

Yes. - when I saw the action I was hoping she showed up at Balmoral with a classic Scottish piece. But let's face it, she is most likely shooting what was available from the arsenal that fit. And that is no slam on the young lady's being willing to give it a go.

I was thinking the same thing....Hmmm...gave her the cheap gun...

Have just come back from a weekend of teaching Hunter Ed. I used this picture as an example of good and bad practices.

BTW, had an interesting experience. One of our students was a young man who is legally blind. He shot, and even broke one of the clay targets we were thowing. Not sure who was more excited, him or me.

I believe she is friends with the lady in this article:

It seems she is (was) a stocker with Purdey.

Hey fellow Parker guys!

Let's consider that some of you are blasting Kate for shooting a boxlock. Don't we all shoot boxlock Parkers?

Now, I do own and appreciate the great American sidelock, LC Smith. Parkers have however superceded them in my collection. I also have a fondness for AH Fox boxlocks and Lefever sideplated boxlocks.


There is nothing wrong with a good boxlock.
