Ahem. All my ranting aside, I really do love this coat. Double-breasted! Shiny buttons! Velvet trimmings! Delicious.

Here's the back of her coat, and this photo has taught me that I don't know that I've ever really seen the back of this hat. It's so whimsical!

I know we're often wondering what she's wearing under these Coat Only events and here's a peek. I'm sad it's not a cotton shift covered in the Queen's face, Andy Warhol-style.

It's not St Patrick's Day if the regimental mascot Irish Hound doesn't ALSO get an enormous shamrock. This particular dog is deeply unimpressed. "I can't even look at you," he thinks. "Also, I want to eat this plant."

"How did I never notice this uniform had spurs?" Kate seems to be thinking. "As if he could ride off on a horse at any time. I'd like to see him try it."

Same coat here for Kate as they arrive in Paris, obviously, but I must say I'm delighted to see that Kate's decided to go Full Hair Charm on the French. No better way to deal with a PR kerfuffle than by using your most powerful asset.
