Sophis looks great here -- for a moment, I thought she was wearing a kicky denim jacket -- and I appreciate Ed's devotion to a kilt.

This was at the Glenfiddich Whiskey distillery, so bottoms up! I admire Sophie's attachment to her half-assed hair clip. This is literally what I do to my hair when I'm cleaning out the fridge.

Sophie's clutch is cute, but I actually think Edward takes this one. The tartan of his kilt is so pretty.

Chaz is in Wales to celebrate it being 50 years since his investiture as Prince of Wales -- AKA, "Wow, Your Mom Is Long-Lived!!!!!! And We're Glad" -- and he really unveiled this plaque with FLAIR.

Here's your Informative Caption about these very busy horses: "Prince Charles, patron of The British Horse Loggers, visited Tyn-y-Coed Forest and met horse loggers, learned about the work they have been doing in the forest and handed out Prince Charles Trophy to the winner of the British Horse Loggers Woodland Management Award." Both those horses look like they're thinking, "ugh, let's get on with this. We've got stuff to do."

Japanese couple princely began a few days visit in Poland. Prince Akishino of Japan visits Poland, Warsaw - 28 Jun 2019

Polish President Andrzej Duda and his wife Agata Kornhauser-Duda are greeting Prince Fumihito and Princess Kiko of Japan on a trip to Poland. Fumihito is the Prince Harry of the Japanese Imperial family, if I understand correctly -- well, technically, I guess he's the Princess Margaret, since his brother JUST became Emperor. Well, okay, so maybe he was the Prince Andrew? Whatever, he's the younger brother of the new Emperor of Japan. Kiko is SMART AF -- she has a PhD -- and they've been together for a long time. Apparently, his grandmother (who by all accounts is A REAL PAIN) thought Kiko was too common for him. It's all worked out!

The visit of the members of the Japanese imperial family in Poland is related to the 100th jubilee of establishing diplomatic relations between Poland and Japan. Japanese Princely couple visits Poland, Lowicz - 30 Jun 2019

Informative Caption tells us that here, " the folk artist Maria Stachnal (R) taught the royal couple how to do paper cutouts. The visit of the members of the Japanese imperial family...is related to the 100th jubilee of establishing diplomatic relations between Poland and Japan." This dress on Kiko is much more interesting than the previous one.

## Queen Maxima

Ten Rotterdammers live and work in the fictional Superstraat. They were born, raised in Rotterdam, moved there or fled there. The residents of the street symbolize the many cultures and more than 170 nationalities that the city has to offer.

The entire vibe here appears to be "WHEE!!!" Also, Informative Caption was v. useful here: "Queen Maxima opens the Superstraat exhibition...in the Wereldmuseum in Rotterdam. Ten Rotterdammers live and work in the fictional Superstraat. They were born, raised in Rotterdam, moved there or fled there.
