VineKate Middleton is a lot of things: She is beautiful. A loving wife and mother. Charming. Fashionable. Kind. The Duchess of Cambridge.
But guess what we found out this week? She's also the sassy queen of shade.
While sitting at the gift-wrapping station at the NYC Northside Center for Child Development, she stopped to speak to the child next to her. That's when someone yelled at her to to "keep wrapping!"
This was Kate's response:
That eye-roll right there? It's nothing but S-H-A-D-E.
We don't blame her, because how dare someone order the Duchess around?!
Anyway, this moment is just too good and too sassy to let die after this week is over, so we've put together a handy guide of online situations in which you could use this Kate GIF as your response. Feel free to right click and save as, because when you need to put someone in their place, this is the GIF to do it.
