The royal couple are on a three-day trip to Germany that includes visits to Berlin, Hamburg and Heidelberg. (Photo by Bruce Adams-Pool/Getty Images) I'm going to begin with the boat race, even though it happened later in today's events, because I don't care about such things as the constrains of space and time, and also it was cute. (All of today looked VERY fun, I have to say.) The Cambridges are at their best when they get to be sporty competitive. ## Wills and Kate Visit Germany ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2017/07/GettyImages-819481244_master-1500568731.jpg) HEIDELBURG, GERMANY - JULY 20: Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William, Duke of Cambridge compete as they cox rowing boats in a friendly race between the twinned town of Cambridge and Heidelberg on the Neckar River during the second day of their visit to Germany on July 20, 2017 in Heidelberg, Germany.

Let me turn to Informative Caption: Wills and Kate "compete as they cox rowing boats in a friendly race between the twinned town of Cambridge and Heidelberg on the Neckar River during the second day of their visit to Germany...The royal couple are on a three-day trip to Germany that includes visits to Berlin, Hamburg and Heidelberg." And Heidelberg CAME OUT to see them today -- the crowds have been huge on this trip in general, but I think the whole town popped out for a look-see at the race. ## Wills and Kate Visit Germany ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2017/07/GettyImages-819481284_master-1500568753.jpg) HEIDELBURG, GERMANY - JULY 20: Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William, Duke of Cambridge compete as they cox rowing boats in a friendly race between the twinned town of Cambridge and Heidelberg on the Neckar River during the second day of their visit to Germany on July 20, 2017 in Heidelberg, Germany.

Everyone in this photo looked DELIGHTED when the keg was tapped -- again, as they should be. ## Wills and Kate Visit Germany ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2017/07/GettyImages-819417242_master-1500568659.jpg) HEIDELBERG, GERMANY - JULY 20: Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge celebrates with a beer after participating in a rowing race between the twinned town of Cambridge and Heidelberg and against Prince William, Duke of Cambridge on day 2 of their official visit to Germany on July 20, 2017 in Heidelberg, Germany.

Bless the Polish and the Germans for not being stingy with the booze.) ## Wills and Kate Visit Germany ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2017/07/GettyImages-819384200_master-1500568479.jpg) HEIDELBERG, GERMANY - JULY 20: Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge receives a medal after participating in a rowing race between the twinned town of Cambridge and Heidelberg and against Prince William, Duke of Cambridge on day 2 of their official visit to Germany on July 20, 2017 in Heidelberg, Germany. (Photo by Chris Jackson/Getty Images) I can't believe we haven't even discussed Kate's shirt yet. Obviously, as a stripe lover, I approve -- and I have been that person who has defended the purchase of ANOTHER Breton stripe because the stripes are TOTALLY DIFFERENT COLORS than the shirts I already have. DUH. ## Wills and Kate Visit Germany ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2017/07/GettyImages-819494334_master-1500568830.jpg) Britain's Princess Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, is pictured prior to a rowing regatta boat ride during a visit to the southern German town of Heidelberg on July 20, 2017\.

Sans priceless engagement ring and $$$$$$ watch, of course. ## Wills and Kate Visit Germany ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2017/07/GettyImages-819369940_master-1500568428.jpg) Britain's Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and his wife Kate, Duchess of Cambridge pose for a picture on the Old Bridge in the historic center of Heidelberg, southern Germany on July 20, 2017\.

([It also has a long and very fascinating history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heidelberg?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).) ## Wills and Kate Visit Germany ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2017/07/GettyImages-819411328_master-1500568562.jpg) HEIDELBERG, GERMANY - JULY 20: Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge accompanied by Baden-Württemberg's Minister President Winfried Kretschmann (Alliance 90 / The Greens, 3.v.l) and Michael Baumann (r), Chief Scientific Officer of dkfz, Michael Milsom during a visit to the German Cancer Research Institute on day 2 of their official visit to Germany on July 20, 2017 in Heidelberg, Germany. (Photo by Marijan Murat - DPA Pool/Getty Images) Right, right -- other stuff happened today, as well. Earlier in the day, they visited the German Cancer Research Institute, where I hope they decided to buy Charlotte a microscope of her very own. ## Wills and Kate Visit Germany ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2017/07/GettyImages-819334674_master-1500568349.jpg) HEIDELBERG, GERMANY - JULY 20: Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge attempt to make pretzels during a tour of a traditional German market in the Central Square on day 2 of their official visit to Germany on July 20, 2017 in Heidelberg, Germany. (Photo by Chris Jackson - Pool/Getty Images) They also took "a tour of a traditional German market in the Central Square," in Heidelberg, which involved making pretzels AND candy AND seeing a huge cake. I enjoy how seriously Kate always takes these things. She is going to make this pretzel and she is going to do it correctly! ## Wills and Kate Visit Germany ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2017/07/GettyImages-819333130_master-1500568328.jpg) HEIDELBERG, GERMANY - JULY 20: Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge attempt to make sweets during a tour of a traditional German market in the Central Square on day 2 of their official visit to Germany on July 20, 2017 in Heidelberg, Germany. (Photo by Chris Jackson - Pool/Getty Images) And who doesn't enjoy making candy? This seems like a good place to note that I enjoy that Wills has pulled out this blazer for this trip, but his father would have added a pocket square. ## Wills and Kate Visit Germany ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2017/07/GettyImages-819336930_master-1500568385.jpg) HEIDELBERG, GERMANY - JULY 20: Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge during a tour of a traditional German market in the Central Square on day 2 of their official visit to Germany on July 20, 2017 in Heidelberg, Germany. (Photo by Chris Jackson - Pool/Getty Images) Kate's dress is Jenny Packham and it is pretty. It feels bit bridesmaid-y to me, but not in a bad way? ## Wills and Kate Visit Germany ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2017/07/GettyImages-819298084_master-1500568298.jpg) HEIDELBERG, GERMANY - JULY 20: Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William, Duke of Cambridge arrive for a visit of the German Cancer Research Center on the second day of their visit to Germany on July 20, 2017 in Heidelberg, Germany. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will meet researchers including Nobel Prize winner prof. Dr. Harald zur Hausen, and visit the stem cell research lab. The royal couple are on a three-day trip to Germany that includes visits to Berlin, Hamburg and Heidelberg. (Photo by Thomas Niedermueller/Getty Images) Those wedges, though. They don't look terrible here, but after so many interesting shoes lately, these old soldiers feel like such a bring down. I'm not even anti-wedge! I love a wedge, in fact! A wedge is MUCH EASIER to walk in and I get it. I just long for a NEW WEDGE. Or even a sandal with a chunkier heel, for similar ease of walking. [What about this navy sandal? ](https://www.stuartweitzman.com/products/sohogal/blue-suede/?DepartmentId=360&DepartmentGroupId=1&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)It's even on sale!!
