The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge meet veterans for tea

Per our photo source, "The Duke & Duchess of Cambridge meet veterans for tea before attending the Commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the Normandy Landings at Gold Beach in Arromanches." I think those are also the medals Wills wore in New Zealand, the ones the Queen gave him at her Jubliee (and People confirms this with their coverage of the event).

Here's your full-length look. The hat, we most recently saw (I THINK) when she christened that boat. (That's a sentence you really only type for VERY SPECIFIC people.)

The 70th Anniversary Of The D-Day Landings

Because I know there is always at least one of you who'd like to see what's happening with the back of Kate's hair. Very simple, which seems wise.

"And then George ate the entire thing. I know. I haven't figured out how we're going to tell the Queen yet. It was her favorite tiara. So, that's what's new with us, I guess. How've you been?"

Well Replayed, Wills and Kate at the D-Day Anniversary Events

If you think, "Hmmm, I've seen that coat before," you are CORRECT. It's the same blue McQueen she wore in New Zealand, when they were laying a wreath at a war memorial, so perhaps this one is filed under Coats: Solemn Occasions, right between Coats: Sassy Events and Coats: Tiresome Meetings. The hat is also a repeat (the thought behind repeating both on an occasion like this being, I've read, that it prevents her clothes from drawing too much focus from the event, although, you know, good luck with that. But I think the sentiment is correct, and on an event as big as today, actually probably does work to an extent). And if I recall what I read correctly, Wills's tie is the stripe associated with the Queen's regiment. Obviously, he also wore his favorite pink seersucker formal shorts suit, as I am sure some of you had in the pool. [Photos: Splash]
