## Thames River Pageant; Kate with Umbrella

"Hello! Isn't everyone so much more entertained by the Royal Family since I threw the best wedding ever? You are welcome, everyone! If only I could control the weather."

## Barging It Up

One of the reasons I enjoy reading books about English People Having Romantic Problems During Olden Times is that sometimes said people pop onto a fancy, fancy barge. And then sometimes, someone might get shoved OFF a barge, but generally only when they have it coming.

## Kate in McQueen

Kate is wearing McQueen -- Sarah Burton really IS Kate's go-to for big events, and rightly, as this is simply lovely and totally appropriate (and also possibly nicely warm, given that it looked rather cold in London yesterday). The hat is designed by the same person who did [this Maple Leaf Chapeau](https://gofugyourself.com/mostly-well-played-wills-and-kates-canadian-adventure-07-2011/the-duke-and-dutchess-of-cambridge-north-american-royal-visit-day-2?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Apparently, [Kim Kardashian recently wore a sleeveless version of the same dress](https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/who-wore-it-best-kate-middleton-or-kim-kardashian-201236?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), which is why Kim Kardashian woke up in the Tower this morning.

## Charles and Camilla

I just love all the dress uniforms at these things. Camilla also looks quite nice. She occasionally looks like she found whatever hat she's wearing buried at the back of her wardrobe (so, you know, actually IN Narnia) but this one is rather smart, no?

## Princess Anne

Speaking of Rather Smart, and Dress Uniforms. I don't think I've ever seen Princess Anne IN her uniform, but it kind of rocks.

## THE QUEEN

One of my favorite statements from the BBC A coverage of the barge ride today was, "this is the Queen's FAVORITE barge." It's awfully thoughtful of them to not force her to barge it up on her most HATED barge. She also looks lovely and adorable in this coat/hat. I am totally going to start trying to talk my grandmother into wearing more hats. By which I mean, "any hat." She would, like the Queen, look terrific in them.

## Princess Eugenie

This, of course, shall go on my new Tumblr: Royals Taking Camera Phone Pics.

## Pippa and James Middleton

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2012/06/145647195_10.jpg)

The Middleton Boy really gets no press in the United States, although apparently he is also [Somewhat Scandalous](https://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2011/05/06/james-middleton-kates-bad-boy-brother.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Regardless: he and Pippa both look very smart and totally appropriate today. HOLD YOURSELF TOGETHER, YOU TWO. YOU'RE ON THE QUEEN'S BARGE.

I especially like the dude behind James, photobombing them. "I'm ON A BARGE," that guy is thinking.

## Her Madj and Camilla

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2012/06/145653538.jpg)

"Do shut up, Camilla. I should think I know how to wave."

## Kate, Chuckles, Phillip, Wills, Harry, Herself

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2012/06/145653536.jpg)

There are few things I enjoy more than photos of the Queen lurking around behind other people (one doesn't stay on the throne sixty years without being able to accurately lurk behind others, eavesdropping)...

## Harry, Kate, Wills, THE QUEEN.

...other, of course, than Harry giving what I've decided are finger guns, behind her back.

## Kate and Camilla

Apparently, a good time was had by all. I expect nothing less on THE QUEEN'S FAVORITE BARGE.

[Queen's Jubilee Fabs and Fabber: The Thames FlotillaIn general, I feel we don't have enough Flotillas (flotillae? Flotillii?) in our lives. Americans NEVER get a flotilla. We have to just enjoy the flotilla of our British brethren. \[Photos: Getty\]![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/bf/b9/bfb99790-924d-4e41-a7e6-5e3c6e04fe57/content/images/static-gofugyourself-com/uploads/2012/06/145650191_10.jpg)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/queens-jubilee-fabs-and-fabber-the-thames-flotilla-06-2012/)
