Wills and Kate in Cornwall

I am sure it goes without saying that I dig these sunglasses on Kate. Dear Lord, preserve me from buying another pair of sunglasses.

Kate looks perfectly lovely -- she LOVES this color -- but I feel like Wills is looking extra jazzy today. Is it just me? He's very fit lately, as the Brits say. One of you also recently pointed out that his having a bit of a tan also makes him look like he has more hair, and it's definitely true that getting some color is good for him.

This is a good pic of Kate, but also an excellent if sneaky look at the pattern on Will's blazer, which I love.

Kate's Shoes

Sigh. I actually love wedges in general, still, even if we're not supposed to (I don't know if we're not supposed to or what), but I personally have never really liked espadrilles and HEAR ME OUT: It's because I feel like the rope bits get dirty so easily? I know this is definitely a matter of personal taste, but I can't with them, as the kids say. I definitely get why she'd want to wear wedges for this day -- they have to walk on sand later -- but. Well, you know. I wouldn't be alive if I weren't complaining about Middleton's footwear. (I would have worn these, myself.)

Kate and a Baby

"Hello, little baby. I love your outfit! I have that same top at home."

I love how DELIGHTED all these construction workers look (there was a report in the DMIK that they catcalled Kate, which has been debunked by other reporters who were actually there; in actuality, I think they were just pleased to see them). I hope all of them go home and update their Kate Blogs about their thoughts about her footwear.

Do you think Wills and Kate have a deal that only one of them can wear sunglasses at a time?

I want to turn to Informative Caption here, in part because I always want Fug Nationals to know where to go to drink in any and all places of the world. "[Kate] has a go at pouring a pint as she visits Healey's Cornish Cyder Farm, a thriving local business celebrating its 30th anniversary and one of the area's top tourist attractions." (It does totally look cute and fun. It helps that I love cider and would probably get totally inadvertently hammered there. ["Inadvertently."])

Truly, this is also how I like to end MY days. Cheers! Except they went to the beach after this, so....

"Can we swing by that pub after this and get more of that cider?"

This is an event for a charity called The Wave Project, which helps kids manage their anxiety and confidence issues through surfing, which is a really neat idea.

It also looks totally fun. Surf's up, you guys!

Royally Played, Wills and Kate (in Lela Rose) Visit Cornwall

Wills and Kate are off on a mini-jaunt to Cornwall (which will be his duchy when he's Prince of Wales, and which seems beeeeeyoutiful, from the pics I've seen) and the Isles of Scilly, which I keep wanting to call Sicily, despite the the fact that I am well aware that's a totally different country. Today's outings were pretty standard-issue -- you know, pop by a cathedral, kiss some babies, wave at some construction workers, drink some cider -- but I am pleased to note that Wills is wearing another somewhat dapper sportscoat. I hope these last few outings are the first step toward them changing the narrative so that Wills is the fashion plate and that two years from now they'll have an excursion where she is wearing the same navy dress she always wears and he is sporting, say, purple velvet knickers and a plaid tam-o'-shanter. (Also, if you will excuse a wee bit of self-promotion, writing this it occurred to me that you might need a book to read this upcoming long weekend, and might I suggest The Royal We? I mean, you do what you want, obviously. I don't know your life! SELF-PROMOTION OVER.) [Photos: Getty, Fame/Flynet]
