Prince William visit to the Great Exhibition of the North

Wills is back at work, meeting people and shaking hands, and being forced to put things on his face and pose for pictures.

Prince William visit to the Great Exhibition of the North

"Your royal highness, we just really think a picture of you in a VR mask would be...well, it would be funny." "Sure. Fine. Whatever."

Prince William visit to Royal Mail's Worldwide International Logistics Centre

Here, Informative Caption tells me, "Prince William visits Royal Mail's Worldwide International Logistics Centre at Heathrow Airport to see how they prevent the trafficking of illegal wildlife products," and I must say, my heart thrilled at the words "INTERNATIONAL LOGISTICS CENTRE." I love logistics! 

Prince William visit to Royal Mail's Worldwide International Logistics Centre

Here, again per Informative Caption, "Prince William watches as a UK Border Force shows off various items found recently, including snake skin, ivory and plants that are not allowed into Britain." I want to go to the International Logistics Centre! TELL ME ALL YOUR LOGISTICS.

The Perfect World Foundations event

Then Fergie fell into a bush. Not really. Well, not as far as I know. Informative Caption tells me that Fergs is in  Gothenburg, Sweden w. David Attenborough for "The Perfect World Foundations" dinner. Not as, like, a date. AS FAR AS I KNOW.

Annual Garden Party, Hillsborough Castle

This is Northern Ireland's Annual Garden party at Hillsborough Castle, and that is Princess Anne, in bright blue to strike fear into the hearts of all miscreants.

Whately Manor International Horse Trials

Start 'em young.

Chaz, Cams, Princess Haya of Jordan

Here, Chaz and Cams are taking Princess Haya of Jordan to "visit the newly refurbished 'Maiden' yacht." This is not just some rando yacht -- the internet tells me that it is the yacht that was used the first time an all-female crew took part in the Whitbread Round-The-World Yacht race, in the 80s. (I believe they came in second.) Princess Haya financed the yacht rehab, and it's going to be used for something to do with girls' education? (Their website is a little unclear, or rather, is written as if it's being visited by people who already know.)

The Braemar Highland Gathering

Earlier in the week, Chaz and Anne (and Mr. Princess Anne) were all up in Scotland with the Queen, watching men chuck giant logs at each other at this event.

The Braemar Highland Gathering

"Look at that man! HE can really wear a kilt!"

Prince Albert at the UArctic Congress, Oulu, Finland

Then Prince Albert fell into a river in Finland. (Not really. AS FAR AS I KNOW.)

Citizens Annual Picnic, Monaco

NE'ER have two children looked less impressed with their traditional garb than Jacques and Gabriella of Monaco.

Belgian royal children return to school

Here, Mathilde is doing the school run with Belgian Prince Gabriel (who, Informative Caption tells me, is starting "the 4th year of secondary school," whatever that is) and Princess Eleonore, who is in "the 5th year of primary school." Everyone looks PROFOUNDLY NORMAL HERE.

Queen Mathilde

I feel like Mathilde borrowed this from Maxima.

Queen Rania

Here, "Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah met with a group of female artisanal food producers from various Jordanian governorates to thank them for their efforts in improving the quality of homemade traditional Jordanian foods and hear about the challenges they face in marketing their products." And also to wear a shirt with a person on it!

Queen Rania of Jordan visits the Alibaba Group headquarters

This is a very good coat.

XIN Philanthropy Conference,

Rania is really into outfits with items on the front of them this week.

Letizia and Felipe

I always love, as you know, a good shirtdress. (This one is by Hugo Boss, and it's not insanely expensive by royal standards.)

Letizia and Felipe

"No. We are NOT buying any more livestock."
