Prince Harry Attends ICAP Charity Trading Day In Aid Of Sentebale

Informative Caption tells us, "Prince Harry attends the ICAP's 24th annual charity trading day in aid of Sentebale at ICAP on December 7, 2016 in London, England. The Sentebale charity, of which Prince Harry is Patron, supports orphans and vulnerable children in Southern Africa." ICAP's charity trading day ALSO features other people in wacky outfits and celebrities doing trades, which, were I the shareholder, might stress me out. DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING, HARRY?

I do always enjoy the obligatory "two phones to the head" photos.

This is a HUGE Operation Game! If you can't do this, Harry, I worry for your hand-eye coordination.

Prince Harry Visits The Caribbean

Prior to that, though, Harry wrapped up his 15-day (!!) tour of the Caribbean by visiting Guyana, where, as I understand from Twitter, a bunch of royals reporters got stuck for several days. Look, no one wants to be stuck anyway\ at the end of a two-week long business trip, but the Caribbean's not the worst place to end up for a while.

Informative Caption says, "Prince Harry is presented with a headdress by dancers in Surama Village in the Guyana Hinterland." I feel like his face is ever so slightly saying "I DON'T KNOW IF I FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THIS. ARE YOU SURE IT'S COOL FOR ME TO HAVE THIS ON MY HEAD?"

"Shrug! It's a waterfall!" (It is, in fact, "the iconic Kaieteur Falls, the single largest freefall waterfall in the world, with a drop of 741 feet.")

"WHEE, they're letting me reveal a plaque!"

And this was a visit to the Joshua House Children's Centre, which is owned by the Moonies, which is..a religious cult, although apparently it's less cult-y now? An interesting decision on the part of the tour-planners, though.

I look forward to a tabloid using this shot for a glossy story about Harry Finding Love soon.

Madame Tussauds photocall

That IS a real corgi, in case you were wondering. Additionally: Madame Tussauds' Prince Philip is terrible, and so is their Camilla.

Investitures at Buckingham Palace

We hardly ever get to see photos of Wills knighting people -- which he does weekly -- but maybe they released them more widely as a way to show Princess Beatrice how it's properly done, given that she stabbed Ed Sheeren last week pretending to do so.

The Not Forgotten Association is "a national tri-service charity which provides entertainment, leisure and recreation for the serving wounded, injured or sick and for ex-service men and women with disabilities," and Anne hosted their holiday party this year and looked VERY FESTIVE doing so.

Here, Queen Elizabeth II meets His Excellency Dr Muhammed Sheriff, the Ambassador of Liberia, and his wife Mrs Sheriff, as he presents his Letters of Commission, and EVERYONE here looks super.

Sophie Wessex

Sophie ALSO attended Trading Day, and she looks...fine. I feel like she is a little more vibrant if she wears a pop of color.

Queen Rania

This dress is WACKY and also I love it.

Spanish Royals Deliver Golden Medals To Merit In Fine Arts 2015

Letizia looks snazzy. Is that skirt leather?

"Chanel Collection des Metiers d'Art 2016/17" in Paris

Turns out I'd totally watch a sitcom starring Pharrell Williams and Princess Caroline.

Charlotte Casiraghi

Breton stripes represent!

United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Inaugural Global Goals Gala: A Night For Change

And here we have Michelle Yeoh, Connie Britton, Padma Lakshmi, Prince Haakon of Norway, and Helen Clark, Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme. I feel like Haakon is usually way hotter than this. Maybe being in the presence of so many groovy ladies has somehow diminished him.

Informative caption tells me that this is "the television recordings of The Christmas Gala of the BZT Show," and that said gala "is co-organized by the Foundation for More Music in the Classroom, of which the Queen is Honorary President." More importantly, everyone here looks totally cute and festive.

So, Bea and Euj had an engagement at "the Teenage Cancer Trust's young persons unit at University College Hospital" today, and yay for them -- that's a very worthy caue, and they both look cute. INTERESTINGLY TO ME is that their mother accompanied them on this engagement. LET'S SPECULATE WHAT THIS MEANS.

I just thought this was neat. I'm going to give you all of Informative Caption: "Assistant Curator Louise Cooling poses with the earliest watercolour of King Henry VIII's Nonsuch Palace, at the Victoria and Albert Museum on December 9, 2016 in London, England. The signed and dated watercolour by the Flemish painter Joris Hoefnagel was made in 1568 and is one of only six depictions of the elborate palace in existence.

Also, great tapestry.
