The Duke and Duchess Of Cambridge Visit India and Bhutan - Day 7
This just seems like a very iconic, very touching moment, and I appreciate that they coordinated for it. (Even Wills's pants match Kate's shoes. That's a couple that's in sync.) Additionally, Kate's hair looks AMAZING here. Which is a good thing, when you know you're about to take a series of photos that will more than likely be literally everywhere in about two minutes.

Quick rewind to their departure from Bhutan earlier in the day. (Basically, they left Bhutan, flew to Agra to visit the Taj, and then are heading back to England.) Me, I'm just happy to have another entry for my collection of photos of dudes carrying umbrellas for their ladies, and I've always liked this Alexander McQueen on Kate (she wore it on their trip to Singapore in 2012). Her necklace, fun fact, was apparently a gift from the Queen of Bhutan.

Cue the chorus of approving angels as we are given our Naeem Khan, at last. She really made me wait for it, but my god, this dress is a slam dunk, and utterly perfect for this event. I love it, and I want it, and I applaud it, nearly as much as I applaud the fact that I thought she was reaching out to gently smack his butt here. (She is not. AS FAR AS I KNOW.)

"Just like another hour, and then we can change into matching sweatsuits for the plane ride home. I can't wait to watch several Step Up movies."
"You watched all the Step Up movies on the way over, Wills."
"Well, I want to revisit some of the nuances."

I just realized this is basically exactly the same photo that I JUST showed you, just closer. What can I say? I love a good gaze, and this dress deserves the admiration. Not for nothing, but I also appreciate how perfectly it coordinates with her ring.

I love this photo of them, presumably with the guide who showed them the Taj Mahal. This is totally his Facebook profile picture now.

And there's your money shot. The photo credit of this picture actually is a man called Money Sharma, who does a lot of work for National Geographic, and who is a very well-known photographer, who I suspect hears that joke EVERY DAY OF HIS LIFE. But, honestly, this is a wonderful photo. The detailing on Kate's dress so beautifully echoes the detailing on the building. It is just a fantastic picture.

Sigh. This was a fun trip. Let's take another one soon, shall we?
