She cannot stop buying them. HAVING SAID THAT: I do like this one. It's great for your second, garden wedding. Er, not that she's going to need it for that purpose. I ASSUME. I don't even mind the shoes with it. THIS TIME. ## Kate in Jane Taylor ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/06/GettyImages-540327922.jpg) I also love this hat. This whole thing feels vaguely 70s, in a way that is pleasant to me, rather than dated. ## Wills and Kate ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/06/GettyImages-540326786.jpg) Wills looks like he's telling some kind of complicated story here about how they had to ride in this carriage all the way down the street and they're also probably going to drive it home, while they've got it. ## Wills and Kate in the Royal Box ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/06/GettyImages-540327162.jpg) "No, sweetknees, I promise you. The Pimms station is over there. I *saw* it." ## Wills and Kate in a Carriage ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/06/GettyImages-540336182.jpg) I know one of our Fug Nationals got a great picture of Kate in the carriage today -- I hope it didn't rain on her too much! Let us know if you're in this photo! ## NAMETAGS ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/06/GettyImages-540328012.jpg) There is a big scene set at Royal Ascot in *The Royal We*, and I remember spending a LOT of time two years ago staring at far off photos of these nametags so we could accurately describe them. THIS SHOT WOULD HAVE BEEN USEFUL THEN, GETTY IMAGES. ## Wills and Kate ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/06/GettyImages-540326352.jpg) Whatever is happening here, Wills thinks it's funny. I assume Kate is trash-talking someone over their respective picks for the ponies. ## Wills and Kate ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/06/GettyImages-540330986.jpg) I downloaded a LOT of angles of this hat. Don't ever say I never did anything for you, hat lovers of the world. ## Prizes Are Awarded ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/06/GettyImages-540341968.jpg) Here, Informative Caption tells me, Wills and Kate are presenting the "Duke of Cambridge Stakes winners trophy to owner Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum." Well, it seems appropriate they would be presenting that particular one, yes? ## Kate and Anne ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/06/GettyImages-540327322.jpg) (a) Anne loves that coat; she wears it ALL THE TIME, and (b) I assume her latest tale of crime-fighting genius is a comic one. ## Crown Princess Mary and Sophie Wessex ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/06/GettyImages-540326966.jpg) Hey, look who's here! It's Crown Princess Mary, and this photo is a hoot. It's a Mutual Hat Admiration Society. ## Crown Princess Mary ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/06/GettyImages-540328092.jpg) She looks mostly great -- that dress is gorgeous, and her shoes are fantastic. The hat is debatable, as far as I am concerned. Does it seem like the rose is jammed in there too tightly? (EVERYONE is wearing giant flowers attached to her head this week!) ## Wills and Kate and Crown Princess Mary ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/06/GettyImages-540336392.jpg) "Have you purchased any new beige shoes lately?" "Oh, actually, yes! Let me tell you all about them." ## Fred, Mary, Sophie ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/06/GettyImages-540326456.jpg) I was never going to deprive you of Crown Prince Frederik. ## Sophie Wessex ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/06/GettyImages-540328206.jpg) Nor of another look at Sophie's wacky lid. This color is fantastic on her, though. ## Chaz and Cam ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/06/GettyImages-540328190.jpg) For once, it is these two who look as if they've accidentally left the cotton candy maker running at home. ## QE2 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/06/GettyImages-540326790.jpg) How nice of the flowers to coordinate themselves with Her Majesty. [Royally Played: Wills and Kate (and other people) at Royal AscotLots of firsts today: It's the first time Wills and Kate have come to Royal Ascot together, and we also learned today that Wills is July's cover model for Attitude magazine, making him the first member of the British Royal Family photographed for the cover of a gay magazine. Good on you, dude. (The cover is also good; you can see it at that link, and I'm sure I'll cover it in Royals Round-Up this week, as well.) It is also the first time Kate has worn these beige shoes wherein I have thought, "yeah, those might have been the right call." WONDERS WILL NEVER CEASE. In case you were wondering, this is the D&G dress Kate wore for the Queen's horsey Birthday Spectacular, which I HATED at the time, but which I actually think looks fantastic today, so that is also a first. And, ergo, onto Royal Ascot, where -- speaking of Royals Round-Up -- we also got a cameo from Denmark's Crown Princess Mary. \[Photos: Getty Images\]![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/bf/b9/bfb99790-924d-4e41-a7e6-5e3c6e04fe57/content/images/static-gofugyourself-com/uploads/2016/06/gettyimages-540326774.jpg)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/royally-played-wills-and-kate-royal-ascot-06-2016/)
