This is "Ambassador Dr. Peter Wittig and his wife Huberta von Voss-Wittig of Germany" and it is amazing that the Queen can accept these letters and papers and whatnot from people every week for SIXTY SIX YEARS and still look just deilghted to get them.

Queen Elizabeth II visits the Lexicon Shopping Centre, Bracknell, Berkshire, UK - 19 Oct 2018
I love the idea that now the Queen has decided that she's going to pop into a pub on EVERY event she does. She surely feels more revived after a pint (My family has this running joke, which is surely kind of dumb to outsiders but delightful to us, which is to call the random snacks and drinks you have in the middle of the day on vacation "refreshments," but pronounced with a silly French accent -- like "refreshMON." I've decided that the Queen is now just bopping about the UK opening tiny curtains and having a LOT of refreshMON.)

Prince William hosts a reception today to recognise the extraordinary contribution made by British rescue divers and support staff in the successful search and rescue of 12 boys and their football coach from the Tham Luang Cave in Thailand. The Prince meets several of the British Divers who took part in the rescue which lasted many days ending finally on 10th July earlier this year with all of the boys and their coach had been successfully rescued from the cave. ( Two divers John Volanthen and Rick Stanton were unable to attend).
Wills had a good week meeting all kinds of interesting people -- he and Kate actually also held a reception for the finalists of the BBC's Teen Hero Awards at KP this week. Let's once again turn to Informative Caption: "Prince William hosts a reception today to recognise the extraordinary contribution made by British rescue divers and support staff in the successful search and rescue of 12 boys and their football coach from the Tham Luang Cave in Thailand. The Prince meets several of the British Divers who took part in the rescue which lasted many days, ending finally on 10th July earlier this year whe all of the boys and their coach had been successfully rescued from the cave. (Two divers, John Volanthen and Rick Stanton, were unable to attend)." These divers are Chris Jewell, Connor Roe, Jim Warny and Rob Harper, and I think I speak for all of us when I say WELL DONE, YOU.

Has Charlene always looked this much like Charlize? They both grew up in Benoni, South Africa and I've never seen them in the same room together. Is it possible this is all just a really deep-dive acting gig for Charlize?!?!?
