Wills and Kate

I only included this because it makes me laugh. This is TOTALLY going to be the cover of an unauthorized and highly cheesy biography of their relationship called, like, FOR THE LOVE OF A PRINCESS or something, which I look forward to reading on a plane with the dust jacket off. (I was reading an actually quite entertaining William and Harry book as research for The Royal We during Fashion Week and I had to take the cover off of that, even. It wasn't even a bad cover. I just could not brook with being seen in public taking notes in the margins of a book with Prince William on the cover for fear of seeming totally cracked out.)

Pippa Middleton Lunches In London

Even the woman behind her is like, "yeah, that bag is cute." I also like the coat.

Cressida Bonas Grabs A Smoothie In London

Cressida's entire demeanor is like, "well, this is tiresome."

Charlene on HOLA

This just coos, "I MIGHT secretly be pregnant. I might just have a jones for high quality sheets. You don't know. Just look at my tiara!"

Queen Maxima

Whatever is happening to Queen Maxima here, she is MOVED AND TOUCHED. I am touched by her cute skirt (the rest of it, I have notes).

Daniel Day-Lewis

So, this dates from last week BUT I didn't realize until Kristen from MA told us in the comments that DANIEL DAY-LEWIS was at the most recent state dinner and I knew you'd want to see him. (That's also the back of Judi Dench's head, yes? The fact that I can ID that slightly disturbs me).

Queen Elizabeth II

We've also got the tail end of the Irish President's state visit. Obviously, we see her without a hat now and then but it always makes me feel like she's forgotten something. This picture amuses me. It's very, "HAHAHAHAHAH farewell."

Queen Elizabeth ll and President Michael D Higgins

I LOVE her in a pattern, and that REALLY hardly ever happens. This kind of reminds me of this dress of Kate's (William, I swear, just wore that suit this week), as well as her floral Erdem. Maybe Kate agreed to slightly lower hemlines now and then if QE2 agreed to break out a pattern.

Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II

This is at a concert by Royal College of Organists. I hope one of them is making a very cheeky "organist" joke, and I am SURE that they are. I wonder if the Queen's hat closet is organized by color. It has to be, right?

The Queen & Duke Of Edinburgh Attend Royal Maundy Service At Blackburn Cathedral

Per Getty: "Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh leave Blackburn Cathedral after attending the Royal Maundy Service on April 17." This picture is SO COLORFUL and spring-y.

Angela Lansbury

This is her Dame Commander (DBE) medal, which she got from the Queen at Windsor this week. LET'S ALL HAIL JESSICA FLETCHER. She is a treasure and her hat a delight.

Royals Round-Up, April 18, 2014
OBVIOUSLY, we've been covering the heck out of Wills and Kate's Tour of Australia and New Zealand. Stayed tuned, because we'll have updates over the weekend, at all hours of the night, just to keep us all on our toes. ICYMI: The arrival, AKA Kate’s red pillbox hat and George in his wee Queen’s Guards sweater. The playgroup, AKA OMG GEORGE YOU ARE SO CUTE. Wills and Kate In McQueen visit the war memorial, talk to children, flarg around with a vintage plane, sport a ponytail. In which a new portrait of The Queen is revealed, and Jenny Packham is modeled at a state reception. Yachts were raced! Twice! And Kate won both times. Sunglasses were worn and flirting was accomplished. A green coat was worn, Olympians were greeted, and much laughing occurred. There was rugby and wine-tasting and coats and like a really LOT of near-canoodling, as an Emilia Wickstead made an appearance in teal and The Hair was out in full force. This was the day on which I turned to Heather and said, so delicately....allow me to paraphrase... "these two are making sweet, sweet eye-love to each other all over New Zealand." Red was worn as balls were whacked and I suggested we might have to send Pippa into orbit to save the world. THE RETURN OF GEORGE. THE RETURN OF GEORGE CONTINUES, as the Cambridges arrive in Sydney. Cliff-peering! Girl Guides! Lurking in trees! Laughing in cars! All in DVF. What better to wear to see giant gourds and pumpkins made in your likeness than white eyelet? In other non-Wills, Kate, and George news: Other than The Queen, the rest of the British royals were kind of inside this week. I can only imagine they're all watching East Enders and being like, "meh, no one even cares about us right now. It's so relaxing. Pass me that giant wheel of Stilton. I want to stick my head in it." I do suspect that we'll get way more snaps for next week, when people pop out to church on Easter Sunday. As it is, you shall have to enjoy the Queen! Angela Lansbury (queen of my heart)! Cressida buying a smoothie! Pippa carrying, honestly, a really good bag! Princess Charlene on the cover of Hola in a shot that is going to give more evidence to those who suspect she is gestating, as we all ruthlessly speculated a couple of weeks ago! Elsewhere: -- Marie Claire Australia has interactive Kate paper dolls! (Marie Claire) -- Jenny Packham talks about what it's like to work with Kate. (Grazia) -- More deets about their winery visit! (Grapefriend) -- People Great Ideas has all kinds of good info (and recipes) about what Wills and Kate drank and ate at their winery visit last week. I love them for always indulging my need to know the menus for everything. (People) -- Also in People, they've got some great behind-the-scenes coverage of this current royal tour. People really does royals coverage right. (People) --Here's the resort where William and Kate stayed for their one night away from the baby in New Zealand. OH MY GOD IT'S HIDEOUS. By which I mean the opposite of that. We're having the Fug Nation Retreat THERE. (Hello!) -- "Sources" that recently said Harry and Cressida were going to make it official are now saying that Cressida isn't Royals Material. My personal theory is that the They're Getting Married!!! Source was always someone on Team Cressida (perhaps her mother) and the Um, I Don't Think So! Source is The Palace. (E! Online) -- More info about that Charlene cover, including deets on the tiara she's sporting. (Hello!) -- The Danish royal family celebrated Queen Margrethe's birthday this week in an event of which I could get no photos for us, so enjoy the work of Hello! magazine. (Hello!)
