I think it's really clever how the detailing here vaguely (almost abstractly) echoes the feather in Wills's cap. (Which I do not have a photo of him wearing this year; for some reason, I don't have any pictures of the actual Garter procession.) ## Wills and Kate at the Order Of The Garter Service ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/06/GettyImages-539885774.jpg) WILLS: Are you SURE I don't look ridiculous in this? KATE: Weeeellllllllllll......I think you bring, er, great *personal dignity* to whatever you do, honey. ## Wills and Kate at the Order Of The Garter Service ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/06/GettyImages-539885746.jpg) WILLS: That seems awfully diplomatic of you. KATE: Did I mention that Harry said he would have nachos waiting for us when we get home? WILLS: Are you changing the subject?! ## Wills at the Order Of The Garter Service ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/06/GettyImages-539883552.jpg) I like to think that, in secret, everyone who wears this cape twirls it around in order to do a classic Dracula imitation. ## Kate in Catherine Walker ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/06/GettyImages-539876676.jpg) It would be remiss of me not to mention that Kate is THANK GOD not wearing beige pumps with this. I cannot even believe it. It feels like a miracle. (In all honestly, while I actually really like these shoes, the whole thing is a little match-y for me, but to say so outside of a parenthetical felt ungrateful.) ## Kate in Catherine Walker ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/06/GettyImages-539882572.jpg) Here's your complete look. I am relieved to note that she does not lack a bracelet -- although she might not actually need one. I KNOW. I'VE NEVER SAID THAT BEFORE. ## Kate, Camilla, Sophie ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/06/GettyImages-539885156.jpg) And here are the rest of the ladies for your perusal. I always feel like the ombre effect of that coat on Camilla could be better done, but obviously I always feel comforted by the presence of a huge-ass platter on her head. And while I generally like that Alexander McQueen on Sophie, for some reason it feels really fussy today. I think it works better [the way she wore it to the Chelsea Flower Show, with more of the pattern obscured](https://www.gofugyourself.com/royally-played-wills-and-kate-and-harry-and-a-bunch-of-other-royals-at-the-chelsea-flower-show-05-2016/chelsea-flower-show-press-day-2016-6?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Also, is she wearing white tights? Soph, I have notes. [Royally Played: The Duchess of Cambridge at The Order of the Garter Service in Catherine WalkerFirst of all, in case you missed it, we had some royals coverage over the weekend you might be interested in eyeballing. First, Saturday was Trooping The Colour, which brought us both Charlotte and George, and Sunday was the Patron's Lunch for QE2, which brought us The Trio riding around in an open-topped Range Rover and the Queen getting photobombed by an enterprising bird. Today is the British Royal Family's day to dress up in foofy costumes and test the depth of their beloved's passion because, as I say every year, if you can look at bae in a giant velvet hat with feathers and still think he's dreamy, you really think he's dreamy. PS: If you think Kate's red Catherine Walker ensemble looks familiar, it's because she wore it when they visited Canada in 2011\. Her hat -- which I misidentified as new, originally (sorry) is also a recycle: She wore it with her red McQueen at the Queen's jubilee in 2011 (a red ensemble that I prefer to this one, overall, actually.) \[Photos: Getty Images, Steve Parsons/PA Wire, Peter Nicholls/WPA Pool/Getty Images, Matt Dunham/WPA Pool/Getty Images, CHRIS JACKSON/AFP/Getty Images\]![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/bf/b9/bfb99790-924d-4e41-a7e6-5e3c6e04fe57/content/images/static-gofugyourself-com/uploads/2016/06/gettyimages-539882614.jpg)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/royally-played-the-duchess-of-cambridge-at-the-order-of-the-garter-in-catherine-walker-06-2016/)
