WAVING IS FUN AND SO IS GETTING ON THIS WEIRD BOAT PLANE THAT I'M SURE THEY'LL LET ME FLY IF I ASK NICELY." ## GEORGE ![Wills and Kate and George and Charlotte Leave Canada](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-611848052.jpg) PS: FOR YOUR INFORMATION, THE DOUBLE-HANDED WAVE IS VERY HARD WORK. YOU'RE WELCOME." ## The Cambridges Wave Goodbye ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-611847916.jpg) Wills looks very handsome -- and if this afternoon has involved a LOT of child-wrangling; I love the bit in the video I posted where he basically has to restrain George from making a run for it. Kate's cream Catherine Walker coat is lovely -- I still regret not buying a cream coat I tried on at Banana Republic in like 2004 -- and I cannot complain about her shoes after the ones she trotted out this morning (coming later in the post; I couldn't resist starting with the kids). ## Kate and Charlotte ![Wills and Kate and George and Charlotte Leave Canada](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-611847960.jpg) Even Charlotte did a ton of waving; it was EXTREMELY cute. I think a lot of discussions about the importance of waving at the people who are staring at you have FINALLY sunk in, and how. These two are determined to be the WORLD'S BEST WAVERS. ## Wills and Kate and George and Charlotte Leave Canada ![Wills and Kate and George and Charlotte Leave Canada](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-611847948.jpg) Charlotte also did a lot of POINTING. She's become a very determined little lady. ## Wills and Kate and George and Charlotte Leave Canada ![Wills and Kate and George and Charlotte Leave Canada](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-611848160.jpg) "Honestly, Mother, what is even *happening* here?" ## Wills and Kate and George and Charlotte Say Goodbye to Canada ![Wills and Kate and George and Charlotte Say Goodbye to Canada](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-611848030.jpg) And this is the big farewell! George is CLEARLY already plotting what kind of adventures he's going to get up to when they get home. "YES, YES, EVERYONE KNOWS WE CAN WAVE. WE HAVE WAVED EXTREMELY WELL. NOW IT'S TIME TO GET INTO THIS INTERESTING PLANE NOW, PLEASE. IMMEDIATELY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH." ## Wills and Kate Visit Canada ![Wills and Kate Visit Canada](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-611810362.jpg) Rewind to earlier today. Oh, Canada (now you've got the anthem in your head), your kids are very cute. In case you're wondering, Kate's jacket is from Zara, her pants are...I dunno, pants, and the shoes are, as I mentioned, J Crew. ## Kate's J Crew Shoes ![Kate's J Crew Shoes](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-611838972.jpg) A pattern AND a tassel! Here's hoping this tour's slightly more adventurous shoe wardrobe turns into a trend. ## Wills and Kate Visit Canada ![Wills and Kate Visit Canada](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-611817728.jpg) Kate's outfit is a totally normal outfit that any normal person might wear on any Wednesday to her office and, as such, it's wholly inoffensive, but, you guys, if that's what it takes for Kate to believe that she can get away with patterned shoes, I'M FINE WITH THAT. As I said the other day, an exciting shoe wardrobe wasn't built in a day. This is PROGRESS. Let's give POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT to this choice! ## Wills and Kate Visit Canada ![Wills and Kate Visit Canada](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-611809130.jpg) I feel like George might have enough personalized jerseys now that he could wear one to school every day of his tiny life. (Don't worry; Charlotte got one, too.) ## Wills and Kate Visit Canada ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-611832430.jpg) "Aren't you glad we decided on coordinated but not matching jackets, poppet? And so many pockets. SO CONVENIENT!" ## Wills and Kate Visit Canada ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-611831182.jpg) Let's turn to Informative Caption, which informs us that this is "The Duchess of Cambridge on the tall ship, Pacific Grace, before sailing with members of the Sail and Life Training Society." Works for me. ## Wills and Kate Visit Canada ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-611832992.jpg) I just read that [Wills and Kate had a whole convo with this dude about his "magnificent beard](https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/canada-royal-tour-2016-live-8957342?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)," and that Kate told him "her brothers" are currently have a beard-growing competition. I had this moment where I was like IS THERE A SECRET MIDDLETON?!!?! And then I realized, duh. She meant Harry. ## Wills and Kate Visit Canada ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-611832976.jpg) "Thanks for briefly letting me abscond with this fantastic boat, Canada." ## Wills and Kate Visit Canada ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-611827948.jpg) Canada's like, "What can we say? It IS a really good-looking ship." [Royally Played: Wills and Kate and George and Charlotte Say Goodbye to CanadaFirst of all: At the first event of the day, Kate wore patterned shoes. I think I speak for all of us when I say: !!!! (They're by J Crew, which I knew immediately because I considered buying them last week before deciding that this heel is too short for me and will make me look like Dolores Umbridge.) I'm so proud, you guys. So so so very proud. It seems people can change. (Also: several of you recently pointed this out, but William's shoes have ALSO been kind of good on this trip. Canada, you have proven salubrious for royal feet.) Anyhoodle, Wills and Kate and the kids left Canada today, but before they left, they met with three charities dealing primarily with mental health issues, especially for kids, and then Kate stole a boat again. We just cannot take her anywhere. Then, they brought the kids out to wave goodbye and when I say the kids waved goodbye, I mean it. We got enthusiastic, double-handed waves from both of them, despite the fact the George was clearly very antsy to get on this groovy boat-plane. I mean, look at this: Prince George waves goodbye to Canada #royalvisitcanada https://t.co/NOeZSYszGh — Globalnews.ca (@globalnews) October 1, 2016 (I enjoy the part of that video, toward the end, where the photographer clearly knocks something over. Bravo for not cursing, sir or madam.) Adorable. And a very good ending for a fun trip. Pop into the slideshow for a look at all of the events of the day. And allow me to repeat: PATTERNED SHOES! \[Photos: Getty\]![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/bf/b9/bfb99790-924d-4e41-a7e6-5e3c6e04fe57/content/images/static-gofugyourself-com/uploads/2016/10/gettyimages-611848548.jpg)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/royally-played-wills-and-kate-and-george-and-charlotte-canada-farewell-10-2016/)
