Prince Charles and Camilla Duchess of Cornwall visit to the Tower of London, UK - 13 Feb 2020 Prince Charles and Camilla Duchess of Cornwall visit the Tower of London to mark 535 years since the creation of Yeoman Warders (Beefeaters) and joined a reception with VisitBritain/ VisitEngland to celebrate 50 years of the British Tourist Authority. The royals will be greeted by the Constable of the Tower, plus representatives of Visit Britain before joiningYeoman Warders for a photograph in front of the White Tower, the iconic landmark from which The Prince's standard will be flying. Their Royal Highnesses will proceed inside The Queen's House and visit the cell where Thomas More was imprisoned. Here, they'll move to the Ceremonial Chamber to meet Yeoman Warders in a small reception where they will cut a cake to mark the 535th anniversary since Yeoman Warders were introduced, using a Yeoman Warder's instrument (i.e-axe or Tudor knife). They will then inspect the Princes of Wales Coronet following 50 years since the Investiture of The Prince of Wales last year.

"This little dohickey is a ping pong ball!"

"Yes, you've said."

Informative Caption tells us that Chaz and Camz dashed over to the Tower, and therein "inspect[ed] the Princes of Wales Coronet," as they were there "to mark 535 years since the creation of Yeoman Warders (Beefeaters)." That's fun! This was a do with the British Tourism Board, and I think I read that the Tower is one of the mostly heavily trafficked tourist spots in London, which makes sense. (You should go, if you're there! It's interesting and fun.)

"And this, sir, is where Her Majesty said we should imprision you -- wait, what? That's OFF? Oh. Um...I mean, LOOK AT THIS BUTTRESS."

This photo makes it look like Chaz is considering moving in and is checking the building's structural integrity.

Maxima

She's back, and she brought some wide-legged pants with her, which is as it should be.

This photo is amazing. Felipe is tall, and many of these people are literal children, but the effect is that he looks like a GIANT here.

This dress is generally enjoyable.

Queen Letizia

This is suit, on the other hand, is a bit of a snore -- although I imagine Crown Princess Victoria is eyeing it with enthusiam.

King Philippe and Queen Mathilde are doing NYC this week -- please report in if you see them at Bed, Bath, and Beyond or something. Here, more solemnly, they're at "a ceremony at the 9/11 Memorial with the Belgian police officers that were involved in the terrorist attack in 2016 in Belgium and some of the victims." Mathilde looks very regal in this.
