OBVIOUSLY, we’ve been covering the heck out of Wills and Kate’s Tour of Australia and New Zealand. Stayed tuned, because we’ll have updates over the weekend, at all hours of the night, just to keep us all on our toes. ICYMI:
- The arrival, AKA Kate’s red pillbox hat and George in his wee Queen’s Guards sweater.
- The playgroup, AKA OMG GEORGE YOU ARE SO CUTE.
- Wills and Kate In McQueen visit the war memorial, talk to children, flarg around with a vintage plane, sport a ponytail.
- In which a new portrait of The Queen is revealed, and Jenny Packham is modeled at a state reception.
- Yachts were raced! Twice! And Kate won both times. Sunglasses were worn and flirting was accomplished.
- A green coat was worn, Olympians were greeted, and much laughing occurred.
- There was rugby and wine-tasting and coats and like a really LOT of near-canoodling, as an Emilia Wickstead made an appearance in teal and The Hair was out in full force. This was the day on which I turned to Heather and said, so delicately….allow me to paraphrase… “these two are making sweet, sweet eye-love to each other all over New Zealand.”
- Red was worn as balls were whacked and I suggested we might have to send Pippa into orbit to save the world.
- THE RETURN OF GEORGE.
- THE RETURN OF GEORGE CONTINUES, as the Cambridges arrive in Sydney.
- Cliff-peering! Girl Guides! Lurking in trees! Laughing in cars! All in DVF.
- What better to wear to see giant gourds and pumpkins made in your likeness than white eyelet?
In other non-Wills, Kate, and George news: Other than The Queen, the rest of the British royals were kind of inside this week. I can only imagine they’re all watching East Enders and being like, “meh, no one even cares about us right now. It’s so relaxing. Pass me that giant wheel of Stilton. I want to stick my head in it.” I do suspect that we’ll get way more snaps for next week, when people pop out to church on Easter Sunday. As it is, you shall have to enjoy the Queen! Angela Lansbury (queen of my heart)! Cressida buying a smoothie! Pippa carrying, honestly, a really good bag! Princess Charlene on the cover of Hola in a shot that is going to give more evidence to those who suspect she is gestating, as we all ruthlessly speculated a couple of weeks ago!

– Also in People, they’ve got some great behind-the-scenes coverage of this current royal tour. People really does royals coverage right. (People)
–Here’s the resort where William and Kate stayed for their one night away from the baby in New Zealand. OH MY GOD IT’S HIDEOUS. By which I mean the opposite of that. We’re having the Fug Nation Retreat THERE. (Hello!)
– “Sources” that recently said Harry and Cressida were going to make it official are now saying that Cressida isn’t Royals Material. My personal theory is that the They’re Getting Married!!! Source was always someone on Team Cressida (perhaps her mother) and the Um, I Don’t Think So! Source is The Palace. (E! Online)
– More info about that Charlene cover, including deets on the tiara she’s sporting. (Hello!)
– The Danish royal family celebrated Queen Margrethe’s birthday this week in an event of which I could get no photos for us, so enjoy the work of Hello! magazine. (Hello!)
