Harry, Kate, Wills
Like I wasn't going to lead with this one. Neither Kate NOR Wills appear to be listening to poor Harry. LISTEN TO YOUR HOT BROTHER, WILLS. Also, is that a margarita you're drinking? This IS going to be a good party. Also also: Kate's day dress is very pretty. Also also also: I love that this picture is being photobombed by some Royal Crotch right over her head.
Queen Elizabeth II
This might be my favorite outfit of hers ever.
King Mswati III of Swaziland and Inkhosikati LaMbikiza of Swaziland
These two were standing right behind the Queen at the parade yesterday, and I deeply appreciate LaMbikiza's color coordination with Her Madj. In fact, I think I am officially into (this particular) Queen of Swaziland. Per Huffington Post, "While King Mswati III of Swaziland has multiple wives as per Swazi cultural tradition, Inkhosikati (Queen) LaMbikiza is seen most often representing her country alongside her husband at diplomatic events." She's known as a fashion plate. I am all about her fascinator.
Inkhosikati Lambikiza of Swaziland
And these shoes. Actually, I think this dress is amazing, too. I feel like she is the woman at this event that you see across the room and think, "I need to go become friends with this person."
King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden and iPhone
"Dude, I can't wait to upload these to Instagram."
Princess Charlene and Prince Albert
She looks kind of great here. Maybe she's planning to secret herself into a nook in Westminster Abbey and claim sanctuary and is feeling gleeful about being in country which might not ship her back to Monaco.
The Prince of Monaco and Princess Charlene
She looks downright gleeful here, compared to the usual (also, very tasteful. I like that blue on her).
Charlene and Kate
"Yes! And then I'll just swim the Channel into France! They'll never find me there! COME WITH ME KATE. COME WITH ME."
Actually, all these pictures make it look like Kate and Charlene had a great time chatting it up. Now I kind of hope that England gives her asylum when she flees Monaco and it turns into a totally romantic international incident.
Queen Rania of Jordan
She's dressed pretty flawlessly, as usual.
Queen Rania
...and apparently, I just jinxed her.
Princess Lalla Meryem of Morocco
The Princess of Morocco held her dress up like this throughout the event. Girl, it's cool. Let your train down. No one will step on it in this crowd. This crowd is FULL of people who are train-trained.
Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani and Sheika Mozah bint Nasser Al-Missned
This is the Emir of Qatar and the second of his three wives. Apparently, their fathers were big rivals. She, per Wikipedia, "has been a high-profile figure in her nation's politics and society, actively involved in Qatar's government," which is apparently not typical in Qatar, and indeed, her Wiki page makes it seem like she does all kinds of interesting things, seemingly because the Sheikh here is allegedly pretty progressive (he DID marry the daughter of his father's rival, I guess). This entire family is quite interesting, in fact -- I had no idea he owned Al Jazeera and he also deposed his own father in a bloodless coup, although I don't know if that was before or after marrying his father's rival's daughter.. Additionally: I enjoy her headwear.
Hassanal Bolkiah, the Sultan of Brunei and wife, Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Hajah Saleha
Wikipedia tells me the Queen of Brunei has a fish pond and enjoys badminton, in addition to her obviously fondness for patterns. I think this ensemble is very fetching on her. I also hope she has a high tolerance for people making, "oh, YOU'RE the Sultan of Brunei. WOW, I have a lot of questions I can't ask in polite company" faces when people met her and the spouse at royal events. I hope Harry has a good poker face.
The Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg and The Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxembourg
This picture is so funny. "Come on in to my fabulous party! Sorry the place is such a mess -- we are crazy trying to get ready for the Olympics. My new granddaughter-in-law would be so much more helpful if she weren't always deep-conditioning her hair. Go get a Pimms Cup! I'll come find you after I talk to the Sultan of Brunei about his brother and that harem. I do NOT want them even LOOKING at Pippa. You KNOW what will happen." I love Maria Teresa's coat.
The Queen of the Netherlands
"Liz! WHAT UP! The Netherlands are here to PAR-TAY!"
Princess Srirasmi of Thailand
Princess Srirasmi is very pretty; I wish I had a better shot of this dress, because it seems potentially awesome. Like Kate, I believe she was also a commoner before she married the Prince of Thailand. Unlike Kate, "On 12 November 2009, a home video was released to Wikileaks showing [the Prince] and a topless Princess Srirasmi celebrating the birthday of the Prince's poodle dog." In fairness, though, how else are you supposed to celebrate a dog's birthday?
Princess Eugenie, Princess Beatrice, Princess Sabeeka of Bahrain
Look how well behaved and social Bea and Eug are being. Princess Beatrice totally looks like she's thinking, "what can I ask the Princess of Bahrain NEXT?" Ask her why she doesn't have a Wikipedia page, dude. I love obscure facts about royal personages. I NEED MORE.
