## Wills and Kate and George and Charlotte in Canada

![Wills and Kate and George and Charlotte in Canada](https://storage.ghost.io/c/bf/b9/bfb99790-924d-4e41-a7e6-5e3c6e04fe57/content/images/static-gofugyourself-com/uploads/2016/09/gettyimages-610197132.jpg)

As ever, the Cambridges are coordinated in their blue -- except for the red stripe in William's tie, which I assume is a shout-out to Canada. (Yeah, yeah, I know it's one of his Meaningful Regimental Ties, don't @ me.) Let's all give Kate props for choosing a skirt which was NEVER going to blow up inappropriately, as that airport in Victoria is apparently quite blustery.

I appreciate that Kate is wearing her maple leaf brooch -- well, it's not hers. It's the Queen's. But it's been loaned to her in the past; thank God QE2 didn't get in a snit and refuse to let her borrow it this time. Also, note the maple leaves in her Lock & Co hat. You know I love Royal Sartorial Shoutouts. Also loveable? THAT BABY. I appreciate that she, at least, is not wearing beige shoes. Look to your child for footwear inspiration, Kate! (I also, for a moment, thought Kate's pin was a GIANT WACKY ring and was momentarily so thrilled.)

Reports have it that George got distracted by a helicopter that was landing at this point, and certainly his little face seems to say, "EXCUSE ME DADDY BUT I NEED TO STOP AND WATCH THIS HELICOPTER FOR AT LEAST TWENTY MINUTES BEFORE WE WALK DOWN THOSE STAIRS. I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU EXPECT ME TO WALK DOWN STAIRS WHILE A HELICOPTER IS RIGHT THERE. PLEASE WAIT FOR ME TO FINISH WATCHING THIS HELICOPTER. THANK YOU."

"HELLO EVERYONE. I AM DEFINITELY NOT PLANNING ANYTHING WHATSOEVER BUT THANK YOU FOR ASKING! ANYWAY WHY DON'T YOU JUST LOOK OVER THERE FOR A WHILE RIGHT NOW, PLEASE? IT'S SO INTERESTING OVER THERE RIGHT NOW. NO NEED TO BE KEEPING AN EYE ON GEORGE!"

In case you were wondering if Wills and Kate have their hands full with these two kids or not, the answer lies with Little Lord Side-Eye here. (Additionally: Kate's updo is amazing. I wish I could do that with my hair. Also amazing: how good she is at squatting in heels whilst holding a baby and then standing up without falling over.)

"EVERYONE! LOOK AT MY SOCKS! AREN'T THEY TREMENDOUS? THANK YOU! YOU'RE WELCOME!"

I forgot I haven't really talked about Kate's look yet -- beyond congratulating her for Wise Weather Wrangling -- and the truth is that I like this. It's very business-like, but also pretty, and the back of the collar is neat. Obviously, I wanted her to come out wearing shoes with goldfish swimming in the heels but I never get what I want.

## Oh, Canada!

I guess Canada talked about it, and they decided: FEDORAS. Fedoras are the way to go! The woman in olive green is Sharon Johnston, who is married to David Lloyd Johnston, the Governor General of Canada, who was RUDELY cropped out of this photo. She looks sharp, I think, and also a little bit inspired by the Von Trapp Family's Traveling Costumes in the last bit of *The Sound of Music*, which, as you know, is high praise from *moi*. I like Sophie's dress but is it weird to wear two different shades of purple? Justin Trudeau continues to be WAY HANDSOME -- in a vest! -- and you're lucky to have a hot PM, Canada. (There was a photo of him kneeling down to chat with George that was SO CUTE and which I haven't gotten for our use yet, but I'll update when I do.) Informative Caption didn't tell me who the woman in red is, but I'm sure one of you knows and can tell me. She was BRAVE to wear red and risk matching with Kate. I enjoy your moxie, Lady in Red.\*

Fug Nation has informed me that she is Premier of British Columbia Christy Clark. Thanks, guys!

## The British Columbia Legislature

The Official Welcome Ceremony for this tour was held here at the British Columbia Legislature in Victoria and OBVIOUSLY it's SO HIDEOUS. MY EYES.

## Wills and Kate in Canada: Part II

And THE GAZING HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN. It's like the Royal Tour Equivalent of lighting the Olympic torch.

[Royally Played: Wills and Kate (in Jenny Packham) and George and Charlotte Arrive in CanadaOooh, this royal tour is going to be so fun. Both kids, and the added frisson of Justin Trudeau and his dreamy head and easy way with children. Already, the pics are cute and they only just got here. There. Whatever, I'm just happy we're all operating in my time zone for this one. Let's settle in and enjoy the many many pictures of George that I downloaded. What? He's very expressive. (Note: as ever, I'm sure more pics will trickle in after I publish this; if I miss anything super good, I'll plonk it in the post last, or in tomorrow's coverage!) Don't you want to see some video? I know you do: Video: So sweet! George needs a helping hand (first mummy's skirt then her hand) as he clambers down the steep plane steps.#RoyalVisitCanada pic.twitter.com/WfrIuVvRhf — Emily Andrews (@byEmilyAndrews) September 24, 2016 I like this one because it's a glimpse of what it would look like if the four of them were ever forced to stand around and wait for the valet: A gorgeous Royal wave from Prince George as he arrives in Canada with sister Charlotte and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at 433 Squadron, Victoria, at the start of #RoyalTourCanada. Too much cute! Kate looked elegant in @jennypackham and @lockhatters and, as predicted, the Queen's diamond maple leaf brooch A video posted by Emily Nash (@emilynashhello) on Sep 24, 2016 at 4:26pm PDT And, finally: This was QUITE a large and enthusiastic greeting, Canada. You guys are friendly! I know that we had at least one Fug National in the crowd. We can't wait to hear your Reports From the Field! Prince William and Kate walk the red carpet to cheers from thousands gathered #royalvisitcanada https://t.co/tegMSpS6mz — Global BC (@GlobalBC) September 25, 2016 \[Photos: Chris Jackson/Getty Images, Karwai Tang/WireImage\]![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/bf/b9/bfb99790-924d-4e41-a7e6-5e3c6e04fe57/content/images/static-gofugyourself-com/uploads/2016/09/gettyimages-610197132.jpg)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/royally-played-wills-and-kate-in-jenny-packham-and-george-and-charlotte-arrive-in-canada-09-2016/)
