Last year, Queen Rania of Jordan attended ARK. Is it becoming a tradition for royals to attend this event? Or has it always been this way?

With Catherine's appearance I think the biggest thing people will focus on will be what she's wearing. The designer/store should expect a mad dash for the dress, shoes, etc.
It might be a few years before Catherine moves beyond just being there and not saying anything. I don't think people had high expectations of Diana when she first came on the scene either. Give her some time, Catherine may surprise us just yet!
By the way, very interesting blog! :)
