The Cheltenham Festival - Day 4
Our photo service says the Royal Ear Pincher is "a friend." You have to be pretty close not to worry that grabbing the Royal Head might land you in The Tower. I enjoy how stoic Will is in the face of such impudence.
Kate at Cheltenham Festival
This coat is super cute, and I always approve of The Return of the Boots. I also approve of those cute guys in the background who are clearly all, "awwwww yeah KATE MIDDLETON IN THE HIZZY." I'm sure that's how be-suited Englishman talk, right?
Kate and Wills
I enjoy how old Wills looks in those glasses. I can imagine what he'll look like when he's middle-aged.

SOMEONE is getting some good gossip here. Also, we've seen that hat before. In fact, that entire look in that link is about to pop up again, as Wills and Kate made almost exactly the same St Patrick's Day visit this year as they did last. Behold:
Vistiing the 1st Battalion Irish Guards On St Patrick's Day
It must be a tradition to visit Aldershot Barracks on St Patrick's Day, and apparently it is a tradition for Kate to wear her green coat (which makes sense as it's probably her only green coat). Last year, there was a belt involved.

Different hat, though. And the modest/warm addition of a turtleneck.

I was never going to be able to resist sharing a photo of children wearing bearskin hats. That was just never going to happen.

Same for the picture of the dog. I included a show of Kate petting this dog in last year's St Patrick's Day slideshow and I will do it in next year's, I suspect, because I can't resist dogs in uniform.

They also took this photo LAST year. Eventually, it will be interesting to see, like, 50 of these in row. Because we'll get to watch everyone age. INCLUDING OURSELVES.

Speaking of how we're all aging, you're right, Will: time for a tipple.
