Sophie Wessex at the Royal Norfolk County Show

Sophs had A DAY at the Royal Norfolk County Show. She had a beer!

She took a shot!

She met a dog! (Named Gilpin!)

She presented a cow with an award!

She accessorized this look weirdly! A big day, as I said.

Camz visits HorseBack UK

I told you there were a lot of animals in here! Camz is meeting "Levi Reid, 14, from Aboyne Academy with Pinky the pony," and Pinky is like, "WHO CARES about this lady? I KNOW WHERE THE CAMERA IS."

QEII

And this is at the "Out-Sourcing Royal Windsor Cup Polo match," a very poorly named event that still made the Queen smile when faced with her favorite thing: A horse.

with Peter and Autumn Phillips

This was the final day of Royal Ascot, and Autumn looks VERY dramatic in that jumpsuit.

Faith Groups Reception at Buckingham Palace

Here, Her Majesty is chatting with Valentine Nkoyo, Anna Dyson, Rachael Cox, and Nighat Khan at an event "to celebrate the work of UK faith and belief groups in bringing local communities together," which is a great cause. I assume the woman with her back to us is explaining why she decided NOT to wear a print.

QEII, High Commissioner of Pakistan Mohammad Nafees Zakaria, and his wife

The Queen is really going all out with her spring/summer wardrobe and also I'd like to draw your attention to how totally random the furniture in this room looks at the moment. If people sat down on any of those chairs or that sofa, none of them would be able to look at each other!

QEII and the Ambassador of Dominican Republic, Mr Hugo Guiliani Cury, and Mrs Laura Messina

And NOW all the furniture has been moved slightly to be on a different angle!

Wills visits to the Albert Kennedy Trust

"And here's....another tiny plaque!!!" (This was a trip to the Albert Kennedy Trust in London "to learn about the issue of LGBTQ youth homelessness and the unique approach that the organisation is taking to tackling the problem." It is also where Wills said that he and Kate obviously would not care at all if any of the kids turn out to be gay. He also said he might be concerned that the public would be dickheads about it, but that was about it. Uh, that's a massive paraphrase.)

Prince Albert

Informative Caption tells us that "H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco attends the second Meeting of the Grimaldi of Monaco Historic Sites" and I do not know what that means but it seems to involve ravioli? So I'm in.

National Day, Luxembourg

Meanwhile, it was National Day over in Luxembourg. I really REALLY wish someone would take Stephanie under their stylistic wing and do something with her. She looks so boring most of the time.

National Day, Luxembourg

She looks so great in red here, and with that lip. Lean into this, Steph!

Crown Princess Mary of Denmark

And Crown Princess Mary of Denmark popped by to see the Macrons - I wish I had a better shot of them, but they all look cool, especially given how steamy it is in France at the moment.

IOC session candidates for Winter Olympics 2026

Crown Princess Victoria's Business Lady outfit here is VERY appealing to me. (Sweden did not get the 2026 Winter Olympics -- it's going to be in Milan.) 

Queen Maxima

This all seems very on brand for Maxima, and that includes the part of the military cap behind her that I thought was attached to her own hat.

No Limits riding school opening

I did not lie when I told you there were a lot of animals in this post.

Queen Letizia

Meh. I like the dress but the accessories are, to me, a bit of a snoozero.

Queen Letizia

I appreciate that this photo makes it look like everyone is applauding her choice of summery trousers.

Royals Round-Up, June 28th, 2019

In which at least one royal takes a shot.
