I shall begin with this, from Informative Caption: "A member of staff poses with a 1992 Catherine Walker green silk velvet evening dress with velvet and diamante buttons worn for Diana's Vanity Fair photo shoot with Mario Testino in 1997 during a preview for the forthcoming 'Diana: Her Fashion Story' exhibition at Kensington Palace...On August 31st this year it will be 20 years since Princess Diana died in a car accident in Paris. As part of the events commemorating her life, Kensington Palace are showing a number of her dresses in a new exhibition 'Diana: Her Fashion Story' which opens to the public on February 24th." I believe some of these dresses are part of their permanent fashion collection -- we saw this dress in particular when we were there last year -- but many of them are new. If you go see this exhibit, please report back! All of the fashion exhibits we've seen at all of the Royal Palaces have been GREAT, so I'm sure this one will also be good.

Whilst in Brixton, Cams visited "the Ebony Horse Club riding centre to celebrate the club's 21st anniversary... The Duchess became President of Ebony Horse Club in 2009 and during her visit will meet young Brixton riders taking part in activities teaching them about horse welfare, grooming and riding." She's also going to wear my favorite of her coats to visit them, and this young lady who escorted her around looks super cute in her sweater and boots.

This was great -- Camz attended a tea party that also involved swing-dancing, and got up and cut a rug with a variety of people. Here, she's dancing with Arthur Edwards, who is a very well-known royals photographer. I love her for dancing with a member of the press pool. (She is famously the nicest to them, as well.)
This was also a day where she met with survivors of domestic abuse, and cried with them. I know there are those of you who have never forgiven Charles and Camilla, but I truly think she is doing a very good job representing the royal family out in the world.
