Wills, Kate, and Harry Attend The Charities Forum

Let us begin with Informative Caption, which has been edited for clarity by moi: "[Wills and Kate and Harry] joined children from the charities they support at a creative industries-themed Charities Forum event, hosted by BAFTA and Aardman. Their Royal Highnesses [visited] BAFTA's in-house theatre, where Aardman [screened] the premiere of their next animated special, Shaun the Sheep: The Farmer's Llamas. Their Royal Highnesses [also] joined children [for] a Shaun the Sheep-themed model making workshop and craft activities session, and welly wanging." (They also went to a briefing, where I assume the bigwigs of whatever charity popped up and said, "we did good stuff this year, and here's some more good stuff we plan to do, so don't cut our patronage, THANKS."[ W&K&H, I mean. I assume they didn't make a bunch of kids sit through a meeting].)

ANYWAY. I really like this dress, like, a LOT. I ALSO really like llamas, so basically I'm into all the information presented here.

Here's your look at the pattern, which I love...

...and her shoes. I'd like to note that it's been QUITE SOME TIME since we've seen the beige shoes, and it has been a wonderful respite. I've probably just jinxed her feet for tonight, but, truly, I'm really just warming you up for the welly-wanging action shot.

And voila! I did not hear how successful Kate's Welly Wang was, but that VERY adorable child in the extremely cute Fair Isle sweater DOES NOT seem like he has high hopes for how this is going to go. I love an Unimpressed Child. "You may be a dab hand at field hockey," he thinks, "but your welly wanging is remedial at best, madame."

Whatever is happening here, it looks like fun, AND I enjoy that dress on that other woman AS WELL. It's all patterned day dresses so far. I APPROVE.

Everyone approves! My heart...it feels strangely warm. Is this normal?

All I know is, I hope he wears this to the Bond premiere tonight.

a) I LOVE this outfit on Kate. You guys know my feelings on patterns. b) The three of them are also attending the Spectre premiere tonight, so stay tuned for more shenanigans. I love it when the palace sends the three of them out together. I vote for Trio Shenanigans At All Times, please. c) This particular event -- which was a big to-do with loads of kids, and patients from the Royal Marsden hospital, was hosted by Charities Forum (which is the collection of all the charities that these three are patrons of, or work with) and BAFTA -- also produced a variety of entertainment for us, such as when they all did something called "welly wanging," wherein one wangs a welly at something to try and knock it over, which I decided someone obviously originally made up as a prank.
