Harry and Wills, on Wedding Eve

It is so exciting and neat for me to see these photos and think, "I was just there!" We, of course, just missed Wills and Harry, but still. 

Prince Harry

This was all when they went outside to greet well-wishers, which Harry and Wills also did together the night before Wills and Kate got married. Harry looks SO HAPPY. I feel like his whole face has just been alight for WEEKS now.

Manchester Arena Bombing Anniversary

On Tuesday, William attended -- and gave a reading -- at the memorial service at Manchester Cathedral marking the year anniversary of the Manchester Arena Bombing.

The Duke of Edinburgh Gold Awards presentation

This was yesterday (Thursday). Informative Caption says, "Britain's Prince William talks to award recipients during a day of DofE presentations at Buckingham Palace," but I like to think that he's giving all these people the gossip about what went down at Harry and Meghan's reception.

Wills Playing Polo

I'm also SUPER happy to inform you that White Polo Pants season is now officially open.

"Hi Kate! He's playing well. NO I'M NOT GOING TO REPORT ON HIS BUTT. HE'S MY COUSIN. DON'T BE GROSS."

QE2 at the the Chelsea Flower Show

It's the Chelsea Flower Show this week, and I am sad we weren't able to go while we were there. How nice does the Queen look, all coordinated with these roses? (Yes, Heather and I watched several hours of people talking about gardening on British TV, also.)

Princess Beatrice at the Chelsea Flower Show

This frocks is VERY Flower Show appropriate, but I wish she were carrying a more spring-y bag. (Like, say, that elephant bag behind her, which is Kate Spade and sadly sold out, because it is cute.)

Princess Anne at the Chelsea Flower Show

I saw an article saying all the Instagram influencers are going to be wearing these sunglasses this summer and if Princess Anne turns into an Insta It Girl hero, I'm going to be highly amused.

Sophie Wessex at the Chelsea Flower Show

I also love the idea of Sophie sweeping into the flower show in this dress. It's very romantic!

Sophie, Andrew, and Edward at Buckingham Palace

This was last week -- pre-wedding-- and I feel like Sophie's blazer was a mistake here. 

Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank

You two are next!!!! (Jack is the person who gave Fergie such an enthusiastic hug at the wedding. He seems like a good egg.)

Prince Edward and Princess Eugenie

Eugenie is ALL IN on florals right now. (This one is Alice + Olivia and it's SNAZZY.)

Princess Beatrice

This is pretty unassailable. 

Camz at the 21st Anniversary of 5 News

This is, per Informative Caption, "headquarters of Independent Television News Ltd (ITN)" and I feel like she's about to push a button that accidentally takes them all off the air.

"I wanted to wear this to the wedding, but Meghan said no!!"

Felipe and Letizia

This all-white look is very crisp and elegant on Letizia...

Queen Letizia

...with a surprising reveal at the back!

Queen Letizia visits Military Emergencies Unit

Sure! This is crisp and elegant!

Queen Letizia in Santo Domingo

Letizia is on tour right now, and so far has been to Dominican Republic and Haiti; here, she is with Dominican Republic First Lady, Candida Montilla de Medina, as they "visit a disability centre" for children in Santo Domingo.

Queen Letizia arrives in Port-au-Prince, Haiti

And here she is with Martine Moise, the first lady of Haiti. I feel like Letizia has worn those pants a LOT this week.

Letizia with Haiti's President and First Lady

This skirt is GREAT, and that red is great on the First Lady.

Letizia Visits Haiti

Here, Informative Caption tells us that "Sister Rosita Belizaire takes Spain's Queen Letizia and Haiti's first lady Martine Moise, on a tour of the school and hospital run by the Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul." I am impressed by anyone wearing white pants when they travel.

LOOK AT THIS BABY.

Queen Mathilde

This is the" bi-yearly Mariaprocessie or Marian procession" in Belgium and...is this ensemble culturally meaningful or is she just REALLY into stripes right now?

Queen Mathilde and King Philippe

Mathilde LOVES a floral skirt.

Prince Carl Philip

Here's a hot man walking around in a suit that seems like it might not fit.

Crown Princess Victoria and family

Here, the Crown Princess Victorias are meeting the Swedish national ice hockey team, and Prince Oscar is SO CUTE in his hockey jersey.

Princess Estelle and other people who are not Estelle

Look at Estelle doing her amazing handshaking!

Princess Estelle and Prince Oscar

"I get to keep this, right?"

Crown Princess Victoria visit to Bohuslan

I guess Crown Princess Victoria really digs Bohuslan.

Wax and Max in Luxembourgh

Willem-Alexander and Maxima are visiting Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxembourg on a State Visit and it's like there was a memo that went out about shantung.

Dutch royal visit to Luxembourg

Here we've got Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands, Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg, Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxembourg, Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume of Luxembourg and Grand Duchess Stephanie of Luxembourg  for their state banquet, and Maxima is all in on yellow for this trip. (She and Stephanie look pretty great, no?)

Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume and Grand Duchess Stephanie of Luxembourg

Speaking of Stephanie, this green is good on her, and it amuses me that Luxembourgh is using such a good rug at their airport arrival photo opps.

Queen Maxima

Oh, Max. You and your pants.

King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima

This look is VERY glam on Maxima; she really does formal well, to my mind. It's always so CAFTAN-y with JEWELS.

Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume and Grand Duchess Stephanie of Luxembourg

I believe Stephanie is wearing one of her mother-in-law's old dresses, and it actually REALLY suits her. In fact, Stephanie looks chicer on this visit than she has in the past; Maxima must be inspiring.

New Portrait of Crown Prince Frederik

Behold! The Danish royals with artist Ralph Heimans, and his new portrait of Frederik. The European royals, it feels like, are constantly unveiling one new portrait or another.
