FIRST! This slideshow really does have everything: Adorable cousin shenanigans, donuts, Mail Robots, hideous pants, tantric sex practitioners, personalized trains, and horses wearing jewelry.

Second: [Kate paid a surprise visit to victims of the London Bridge terror attack earlier this week, in case you missed that](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/duchess-kate-kings-college-06-2017/).

Third: [Kate ALSO had an engagement this morning at which she wore pants that made me wax poetic about my own pants wardrobe](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/kate-sailor-pants-06-2017/)!

Finally, tomorrow, Saturday, is Trooping the Colour, so come back and check out our coverage if you're in the mood for some royal babies and people in giant hats.

Elsewhere:

- This was a great and fascinating obit:[ Patricia Knatchbull, a Grande Dame of Britain’s Elite, Dies at 93.](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/14/world/europe/patricia-knatchbull-countess-mountbatten-dead.html?%5Fr=0&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (AKA Lady Mountbatten; if you read[ *Daughter of Empire*, which I am always recommending here](https://amzn.to/2sxPMO8?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), she's the author's younger sister.)

I...am not sure they're going to be proven correct with some of these, but you never know!

LOTS of social media the week. The Belgians, for example, are ON IT:

\[For all of those, FYI, you can click on the tweet and it should take you to Twitter, where you can flip through the pics.\]
