This week’s RRU is mostly Maxima and Letizia and I can’t imagine that’s too disappointing. Stay tuned for this weekend, though, because Wills and Kate are going to the BAFTAs. And, in case you missed it earlier this week, Wills and Kate and Harry had a variety of outings — including a foot race! — that I suspect you will want to see.
Before we get to Interesting Things That Happened Around the Internet, I’m going to embed a few shots from Getty that — for REAL BORING logistical reasons — I couldn’t get otherwise, but I wanted you to see. The slideshow has lots of pics of Max and Wax frolicking about, but I didn’t want you to miss these lovelies:
A) Maxima looks amazing in this red caftan number, and her necklace is sublime.
B) That mustard and turquoise number is INSANE. Completely bonkers. She is a delight.
