Prince Harry and QE2 at the Chelsea Flower Show
"You want to kick off the annual Spring Windsor G&T Drinkathon HERE, Gran? At the Chelsea Flower Show? Hell, you're ON."
Prince Harry and QE2
This is rather sweet.
Prince Harry at the Chelsea Flower Show
And the rest of the photos, from the day prior, of Harry examining his garden at the flower show (somehow, not a euphemism) are kind of hilarious. This feels so, "ah, someone please bring me a lager." (Actually, someone, please bring ME a lager.)

"Can you believe Kate won't let me call dibs on Charlotte's dance lessons? LOOK AT MY FORM!"

This feels very much like your extremely dim but hot friend who is transfixed by leaves whenever he gets high. (#NoDisrespectToPrinceHarry)
Prince Harry Visits New Zealand - Day 8
And this is from the tail end of Harry's trip to NZ -- you need to see this amazing shot of him scoring a soccer goal, if you missed it; I added it late to last week's round-up -- and I could not resist. PEOPLE ARE SO WEIRD. (In a good way.)
Prince Harry Visits New Zealand - Day 8
This is the aftermath. He looks like the cat that got the cream.
The Duke Of Cambridge Meets Women Team Ahead Of FIFA Women's World Cup 2015
Speaking of soccerfootball. I love this. Informative Caption tells me that Wills "receives an England football shirt for daughter Princess Charlotte of Cambridge from Captain Steph Houghton as he meets the England Women's Football Team" ahead of the Women's World Cup. I hope Charlotte grows up to be a monster on the pitch. (Wills looks tired. I assume 25% of his household is currently screaming at all times.)
Tusk Trust 25th Anniversary Dinner
ARGH. I love it when they have events in St George's Hall at Windsor Castle. It's SO PRETTY. There's a very pivotal scene set here in The Royal We -- and in the room next door -- and I am bummed we didn't have a party set happen here too because LOOK AT IT. So ripe for drama and romance! Anyway, William is giving a speech here about wildlife conservation. At home, I assume Charlotte is screaming, George is surreptitiously eating the dog food, and Kate is drinking heavily.
Queen Elizabeth II Hosts Garden Party at Buckingham Palace
SO MANY TOP HATS HERE.
Eliza Doolittle at the Buck House Garden Party
Eliza Doolittle at the aforementioned Garden Party. I honestly love this. It's very her but also still appropriate and perky.
Queen Elizabeth II Attends Audience With Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada
A WONDERFUL distraction from the carpet is provided by Dudes in Kilts. And also many many piano photos.
QE2 at Royal Windsor Horse Show
"MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH IT'S GOOD TO BE THE QUEEN."
Prince Charles and Camilla Visit Ireland
Charles and Camilla are on a historic tour of Ireland and Northern Ireland this week -- they even visited the village where his uncle, Lord Mountbatten, was killed by the IRA. He's been talking a lot about peace and reconciliation, which is something we could probably all do with a bit more of. On an equally serious note: This is certainly a hideous vista isn't it? It's confusing to me why I am not in Ireland in a good coat right now, frankly.
Prince Of Wales And The Duchess Of Cornwall's Irish Trip
This is Mount Stewart and it's just been restored and I feel like it probably should be added to the list of places we shall visit on the fictional Fug Nation Booze and Cheese World Tour.
Prince Charles and Camilla Visit Ireland
This was in Galway, and I appreciate that SOMEONE has recognized that Camz likes a tipple. Also, I want to drink this.
Prince Charles and Camilla Visit Ireland
This is St Patrick's Church in Belfast, Northern Ireland and it looks lovely. Also I think Charles is the only person in the world who can really carry off the double-breasted suit, probably because (I assume) they're all bespoke. There's a reason Vanity Fair put him in their Best Dressed Hall of Fame like 25 years ago.
Prince Of Wales And The Duchess Of Cornwall's Irish Trip
Obviously, at one point, a cake was stabbed with a sword.
Sophie Wessex
Back in the UK, Sophie Wessex CRUELLY THREATENS little Savannah Phillips with her ice cream cone. (Not really. Everyone is laughing in the next picture. Sophie is not an ICE CREAM MONSTER.)
Fergie
And then Fergie showed up. (At Cannes. She doesn't look bad, though I am not a fan of the choker.)
Queen Maxima of The Netherlands and Queen Mathilde of Belgium
True Detective Season Three?
Queen Maxima Of The Netherlands Opens Kentalis Research And Education Centre
"Aw, it's Maxima's coffee filter hat!" I said aloud to my laptop.
Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary Visit Germany
CPF and CPM went to Germany this week on a tour, at which point I realized that CMP attends a lot of events where they make her cook.
Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary Visit Germany
But at least she gets to have a snack every now and then, and this jacket is cute.
Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary Visit Germany
Here, they're visiting the Historical Furniture Shop of...well, honestly, I think it's just a regular furniture shop.
Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary Visit Germany
AND THIS IS A JUMPSUIT. MARY. MARY. Mary, NO.
Spanish Royals Attend Leonor's First Communion
I'm delighted that Letizia is continuing to wear her bob curly like this -- although I'm sure it will prompt even MORE "Shit, did you remember to turn off the curling iron?" facial expressions between her and Felipe -- BUT....
Spanish Royals Attend Leonor's First Communion
...her shoes. Are clear. Plastic. I CANNOT.
Princess Leonor and Princess Sofi
But how CUTE are these two?
Spanish Royals Attend The New Royal Guards Flag Ceremony
This dress is saucy. I DO love a pattern.
Queen Letizia
And I LOVE these shoes and, in fact, everything about this.
Felipe and Letizia
These two are leaving, per Informative Caption, the "scientific monologue international contest final" which sounds exciting and also THOSE shoes are good. Maybe Letizia can call Kate and they can talk shoe wardrobes!
