The Duchess Of Cambridge at The Anna Freud Centre Family School

I am OBVIOUSLY opening with the drum circle. I could have downloaded like 20 photos of Kate and this kid in his Santa hat jamming and then hugging. THIS IS FESTIVE. (Apparently, they are drumming We Will Rock You, which is hilar. What Kate Wore has excellent coverage, as ever.)

This is the Anna Freud Centre Family School Christmas Party, and ergo, red DOES seem like the correct choice. (My first instinct was that she needed a brooch of some sort, but then I realized: It's inappropriate to get too blinged out for an event in the daytime at a children's charity.)

"This wind really helps blend in my fringe, AND shows off my discreet but nice earrings."

I'm not sure if I've ever gotten a really good look at the back of this; I LOVE this dress. It's one of my favorites of hers. I think it fits so nicely, and I love the red.

HIGH FIVE!

Royally Played, The Duchess of Cambridge in Alexander McQueen

First of all, I said this on Twitter, on Facebook, and in last week's Royals Round-Up, but that story about Harry and Pippa dating that is making the rounds this week? It is from OK. NOTHING OK HAS PRINTED ABOUT THE ROYALS HAS EVER BEEN TRUE. It is totally fiction. (It is in fact literally fiction, as this is a plot point in The Royal We. I kinda want a story credit from OK.) Believe The Daily Mail before you believe OK. Okay? Okay. ONWARD! So, this is one of my favorite McQueens in Kate's closet. It's making me feel better about the world, just a weeeee tiny bit. (You may remember it from the Flotilla at the Queen's Jubilee in 2012. I love a Flotilla; also, that post has some good Harry In Uniform.) All that, AND high fives. [Photos: Getty]
