Prince William and Prince Harry host a reception to officially open the 2018 Illegal Wildlife Trade Conference at St James' Palace in London
Illegal Wildlife Trade Conference, London, UK - 10 Oct 2018
The 2018 Illegal Wildlife Trade Conference is the fourth such international conference bringing together heads of state, ministers and officials from nearly 80 countries, alongside NGOs, academics and businesses, to build on previous efforts to tackle this lucrative criminal trade. The conference is being hosted by the UK Government from 11th - 12th October 2018.
This photo really makes me laugh. Technically, Wills are Harry are having "a reception to officially open the 2018 Illegal Wildlife Trade Conference...the fourth such international conference bringing together heads of state, ministers and officials from nearly 80 countries, alongside NGOs, academics and businesses, to build on previous efforts to tackle this lucrative criminal trade." But it LOOKS like someone just said something HIGHLY OFFENSIVE to them both, like, "I think the Queen is DUMB!!!"

Here, Wills is introducing Harry to Kenya's First Lady Margaret Kenyatta, and everyone looks SO delighted! I decided that the Kenyattas sent Harry and Meghan a REALLY good wedding gift.

Uganda Bilateral meeting at Buckingham Palace, London, UK - 11 Oct 2018
Wills did A LOT of work this week. Here, he's "meeting the President of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni, for bilateral talks at Buckingham Palace." I assume they're discussing Her Majesty's floor coverings.

The Duke has worked with Lord William Hague of Richmond to convene the financial sector to join the fight against the illegal wildlife trade.
This is, per Informative Caption, "the signing ceremony of United For Wildlife's Financial Taskforce Declaration with Lord William Hague of Richmond....The Duke has worked with Lord William Hague of Richmond to convene the financial sector to join the fight against the illegal wildlife trade." But they look like two newcasters about to discuss a very serious story about elephants.

Wedding of Duke of Huescar in Madrid, Spain - 08 Oct 2018
That is a TRAIN! Apparently other people got married this week, too. Information Caption tells us: "Duke of Huescar, Fernando Fitz-James Stuart y Solis, and his wife Sofia Palazuelo pose for the photographer after his wedding...The Duke of Huescar is the oldest son of current Duke of Alba, Carlos Fitz-James Stuart, and the heir to the dukedom of Alba." And gossipy Wikipedia tells me NOTHING scandalous about EITHER of them, so I have to just note that they're both VERY good-looking and leave it at that.
