Wills and Kate and Harry
I have the video from this event embedded below, and you should watch it, as it's cute -- it's very Nick and Bex and Freddie. Let us also turn to Informative Caption: "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry are spearheading a new campaign called Heads Together in partnership with inspiring charities, which aims to change the national conversation on mental wellbeing. The campaign has the huge privilege of being the 2017 Virgin Money London Marathon Charity of the Year. " Also: Kate's sweater is from J Crew and I almost bought it when it came out a couple of months ago. We are like soulmates. Also: I decided Harry's headband came with hair attached.
Prince Harry
Harry also went to the marathon this past weekend, where he looked handsome and was charming as usual.
Prince Harry
I assumed that he is receiving a proposal here.

Per Informative Caption, "Prince Harry poses with Eliud Kipchoge and Jemima Sumgong after they won the men's and women's races during the Virgin London Marathon." I love how EVERYONE looks delighted here, and also how Harry almost appears to be photobombing them. (The only time you can photobomb a marathon runner is when you know for sure they are standing still.)
Prince Harry
Also on the Prince Harry docket this week, a "wreath laying ceremony and parade at the Cenotaph to commemorate ANZAC Day," which also involved all his shiny fancy medals.
Prince Harry
This event also brought Serious Faces -- rightly -- and handsome serious overcoats.
Prince Harry
"No, no, that Emma Watson thing was totally made up. Seriously, please tell everyone that's not true."
Prince Harry
I appreciate that Harry's middle medal matches the Dean of Westminster's vestments.
Prince Harry
Harry also went with the UK Invictus team to the BT Sport Industry Awards, which are, or so I read, "the most prestigious commercial sports awards ceremony in Europe."
Prince Harry
It's also a nice excuse for a tux.
Prince Harry
"Wait. SHOULD I shave it?"
Chaz and Cams Mark 400th Anniversary Of Shakespeare's Death
Meanwhile, "Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, listens to the children's choir of Holy Trinity Church on April 23, 2016 in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. Holy Trinity Church houses the grave of William Shakespeare and plays a key role in the 400th anniversary marking his death. " Also, obviously, it's HIDEOUS. We saw so many old buildings and churches when we were in the UK last week and I enjoyed them all. I never tire of old buildings and churches. I could go into all of them.
400th Anniversary Of Shakespeare's Death
With "Dame Judi Dench and David Suchet backstage following the performance of Shakespeare Live! from the RSC," of course, at which Chaz popped up to give a performance. I was watching this in my hotel in Edinburgh -- we were at the Balmoral, which is AMAZZZZZING -- but somehow missed this bit? I fear I had wandered into the bathroom for a restorative session with the magnifying mirror and my pores.
Camz Visits The Queen Mother Hospital For Small Animals
I could have downloaded 200 snaps of Camilla with these wee adorable dogs at the animal hospital. Look at this muffin!
Cams Visits The Queen Mother Hospital For Small Animals
This one has a sweater!
Sophie Wessex Visits England Hockey
"DON'T look at the Rugby Thighs, Sophie. STAY STRONG."
Queen Letizia
I wanted to start with the updo here. Letizia's hair people do good work -- she's for sure got faux pieces worked in here, and you can't tell at all. It's flawless.
Felipe and Leitiza
This suit is charming, but mostly I'm here for hand-holding.
Queen Letizia
I also have some thoughts about the fact that Letizia appears to be dressing to conceal something but I shall say no more.
Queen Letizia
The cape makes a new appearance!
King Felipe and Princess Leonor
Felipe took Leonor to a soccer match, which is all adorable and cute, but mostly I also want to admire this suit on him. Surprising!
Crown Princess Victoria and Crown Prince Daniel
I am meh on those shoes, of course, but I LOVE this dress on Crown Princess Victoria.
Queen Mathilde
For one long glorious moment, I thought the drum behind Mathilde was part of her hat.
Queen Mathilde
Is Mathilde...wearing...a jumpsuit?
The Japanese Royal Family
Informative Caption: "Japan's Emperor Akihito, Empress Michiko, Crown Prince Naruhito and his wife Princess Masako, Prince Akishino and his wife Princess Kiko, and Princess Mako stand on a hill to greet guests during the spring garden party at the Akasaka Palace imperial garden...The Japanese royal family hosts garden parties annually, once in the spring and another in the autumn." I hope they all just stand on that hill the entire time and wave at people from afar.
Dutch Royal Family
It was W-A's birthday this week and MUCH shenanigans ensued. All the expressions of the faces of the Dutch princesses here please me.
The Dutch Royal Family Attend King's Day
I decided they're looking at this. (I probably need these giant cardboard Max and Wax stand-ups, right?)
Dutch Royal Family Attends King's Day
OBVIOUSLY Maxima wore a giant hat.
Dutch Royal Family Attends King's Day
I have no idea what she's eating here -- an eclair? a hot dog? a churro -- but bless her, everyone.
