The Cambridges and Harry

I could not resist adding some extra pictures from Trooping The Colour, especially given that we managed to get Uncle Harry in here. (How cute is George? I must admit that William's very hands-on behavior with both kids is also very dreamy to me. If he only were ALSO wearing his reading glasses! I would die.)

The Cambridges and Harry

We are inching ever closer and closer to Harry directly interacting with the kids in front of the cameras. I know they have to be saving this moment for when....I don't even know. It comes out that Wills&Kate have an open marriage with a bunch of arms dealers? WE'RE ALL WAITING, YOU GUYS.

Wills and Kate and Charlotte and George

Wills tickling Charlotte is giving me feelings. Happy Father's Day, everyone!

Camilla at Royal Ascot

"Hey, Kate, it's Camilla. Can I borrow your hat for Friday's Royal Ascot? You can just leave it on the stoop at Clarence House and someone will pop out and grab it. THANKS!"

No, it's not the SAME hat, but it is close. Everyone really IS wearing Hats With Flowers Jammed Under the Brim this week!

Harry and Zara

This ALSO happened earlier in the week -- somehow, I just missed Zara, and thank you to those of you in Fug Nation who alerted me to the fact that I needed to find her. This photo pleases me -- Harry ended up escorting Zara, arm in arm, up to the Royal Box, where she drank a ton of champagne and cheered her head off (there is photographic proof of this).

Zara

This frock is BONKERS but I love it. I would totally wear this crazy outfit.

Princess Eugenie

Fastfoward to Thursday. I love Eugenie's hat here at Royal Ascot...and guess what? I also love those beige shoes. IT CAN BE DONE.

Princess Eugenie

I find this hat terribly romantic on her.

Princess Beatrice

I wish I could say the same for Bea....

Fergie

Well, well, well. Look who snuck in to Royal Ascot on Friday?

Sophie and the Queen

This was from Wednesday -- you can see Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary in the background, there -- but it just made me smile.

The Queen!

OBVIOUSLY this dude was going to win on Thursday. Look how well he coordinated with Her Maj!

QE2 at Royal Ascot

I both love this color on the Queen AND the look of GLEE on her face.

Sophie Wessex

Royal Ascot always makes me wish we Americans had more Hat Wearing Events. I might just start wearing a hat, convention be damned.

Princess Michael of Kent (w. Frederick Windsor)

In case you've found yourself wondering if Princess Michael of Kent looks crazily dramatic this week...

Princess Michael of Kent

...the answer, my darling, is YES OF COURSE.

Camz

So, Chaz and Cams hosted a street party on Sunday for QE2's birthday, and this little girl attended, in her Casual Weekend Queen Costume. WHICH IS THE CUTEST.

Prince Of Wales Visits The Royal Ballet School

Here, Chaz -- a painter himself -- pops by an art class at The Royal Ballet School, which is a place I feel quite fondly toward, thanks to a lifetime of Noel Streatfeild books.

Princess Eugenie and Keanu

Meet Euj's new boyfriend, Keanu Reeves! (J/k. They just happened to be at the same event. AS FAR AS WE KNOW.) She looks fab in this dress.

Princess Anne

You guys! In a week full of Royal Wedding Re-Wears (Kate wore her wedding earrings on Monday, Camilla rewore the coat she wore to W&K's wedding on Monday as well), even Princess Anne got in on the action! She wore this to Wills and Kate's rehearsal dinner!

Al and Char

As ever, Charlene looks gorgeous and sad. At least her necklace is AMAAAAZING.

Al and Char

This happened about ten days ago and I just missed it until now -- they're going to a swimming event. This might be the only blue-and-white striped top I've ever disliked.

Princess Caroline

"Well, if Kate's wearing lace this week, I'M WEARING LACE TOO. SHINY LACE."

Max and Wax

These two are on, and I quote, "a regional tour of north west Friesland, " as well as a boat.

Max and Wax

And they are having a GREAT TIME. (W-A always seems so, so happy to be with Maxima. They make me happy.)

Queen Letizia

This is lovely. It's like the pink version of Kate's Wedgewood Coat (it's clearly not, but it is similar).

Felipe and Letizia

These leather pants. I cannot. This time, the photographers actually took a close up of the crazy zipper, as if to say, "WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE??!"

Queen Mathilde

JUST IMAGINE THIS WITH A JAUNTY PONYTAIL. I'm just saying.

Royals Round-Up, June 17th, 2016

We had SO MUCH ROYALS CONTENT this week, you guys. In case you missed any of it: -- Wills & Kate made their debut at Royal Ascot together, with special guest Crown Princess Mary and a variety of other royals. -- Wills & Kate went to a garden party in Northern Ireland, while Harry and his assorted royal relations popped by Ascot. -- Kate wore RED SHOES! at the Order of the Garter on Monday, whilst Wills wore a feather hat and velvet cape as usual. -- Wills, Kate, and Harry rode around with the heads sticking out of a Ranger Rover on Sunday at the Queen's Birthday Luncheon Event, and Eugenie and Beatrice both looked GREAT. -- Saturday was Trooping the Colour, which brought all the royals out en masse, including George and Charlotte, who were hilarious and adorable.
