In front of the Sydney Harbour Bridge

Well, this will surely be another leg of the trip that is not at all full of glorious vistas and fabulous backdrops. People wonder what good these visits do -- not here at GFY, but in general -- and one of the answers is surely TOURISM. Because this looks awesome and I already want to go here, too. Can we have a Fug Nation Retreat: Sydney, too?

Kate and George and Wills

This is the traditional, "let's all do this without falling" nervous peer down the staircase. George appears to be considering deplaning by, like, just rolling headlong.(Everything proceeded without incident.)

Kate and George and Wills

"Hello. I suppose I shall allow you to greet me." (I enjoy that he's in full-on Classic Smocked Baby Outfit; it's very Tiny William. Additionally, in looking for that photo, I totally found one of Diana and Charles and William from the same shoot and they've got, like, nine bottles of gin lined up behind them. Brilliant.)

William and George

"Perhaps I shall gnaw on this finger. Move me closer to this finger to let me gnaw on it MOVE ME CLOSER TO THE FINGER DADDY."

William and George

Then the baby performed magic, to the delight of all the Muggles.

Kate and William and George

I will note that, as much as I really like the dress -- and I really do -- Kate is not excused from my usual complaint about nude shoes. I have not gone THAT soft. Imagine a metallic! Like gum, that would have been perfection.

William and George and Kate

This is the Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove giving George an ENORMOUS WOMBAT. I think he likes it. (I think William wants it for himself.)

On the Steps of the Opera House

This pose is referred to, in professional circles, as the Hey Guys! What's Up?

Kate and Wills

"And then, when we go over THERE, I'm going to wear my OTHER blue suit."

"That's great, honey."

Wills and Kate

This is ostensibly to show you the back of her dress.

She Speaks For Us All.

Also, what she said. Somewhere in the depths of Kensington Palace, Harry just shoved another Cadbury Creme Egg into his mouth. "I hate everyone," he muttered to his laptop. "I still don't know why they didn't let me come along. Just look at this. I could have made friends. It would have been DIPLOMACY IN ACTION."

Well Played: Kate, Wills, and George’s Royal Tour of Australia and New Zealand, Day Ten, Part II
Part one involved puppies and George and bracelets, and then we moved from New Zealand to Sydney, which involved more George, but no puppies. As you will see, both Kate and Cheeks (as they call him over at What Would Kate Do? It's VERY APT INDEED) have changed; William has not. Just once, Wills, I want you to pop out of the plane in a pale blue seersucker. Come on. Make an American's day. I've very supportive of you. It's really the least you could do. Before we get back into it: I must note that one of the reasons this trip has been so fun for us is that a lot of Fug Nation hails from all over New Zealand and Australia, and getting all your reports from the road (and getting to chat with y'all on Twitter and here on GFY when I am up in the middle of the night) has been really awesome. (I told you this tour is making me soft. Don't worry. Some asshat will wear a coffee cup bra and I'll snap right back.) Kate's dress is Roksanda Ilincic, which is a pretty au courant choice; we just saw Anne Hathaway and Jessica Pare and Shailene Woodley wearing her. It's nice to see Kate in something a little more unusual (the yellow is, of course, apt for Australia), and she was smart to wear a frock that wouldn't blow up over her head. I do think they're both slightly miserable without sunglasses -- it's so bright there! Not to mention the fact that everyone...well, you know. UPDATE: I've added more photos since last night.
