I have some video of this completely delightful moment in the body of the post, but I thought you might need Informative Caption as well: "Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip feed Donna, an Asian Elephant, as they visit the ZSL Whipsnade Zoo...The Queen and The Duke will meet the Head Elephant Keeper and view the elephant team carrying out daily care tasks such as nail filing and mouth care.

Both of her Majesty's events this week were v. photogenic. Here, she's hanging out with the Yeoman of the Guard after the tradish Royal Maundy service. (That's Leicester Cathedral, if you're wondering.)

Official Ceremony For Victims Of Attacks in Stockholm

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN - APRIL 09: Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden attend the city of Stockholm's official ceremony for the victims of the recent terrorist attack on April 10, 2017 in Stockholm, Sweden. Four people died and fifteen were injured after a hijacked truck crashed into the front of Ahlens department store in Stockholm on April 7, 2017. (Photo by Michael Campanella/Getty Images)

Please excuse the tonal shift as we move over to Sweden, where Crown Princess Victoria and Daniel attended a memorial ceremony for the victims of the recent terrorist attack in Stockholm, Sweden. It is a distressing fact that this is the second such memorial in two weeks (the prior one being in London). Obviously, everyone here looks wholly appropriate; I think Victoria's hat is beautiful on her, though that's certainly not the most important point of any of this.

Princess Sofia and Prince Carl Phillip also attended, as did Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, though I wasn't able to get a photo of them. I hope all our Swedish readers -- indeed, all of our readers -- are well.
