Hot Harry on a horse, with the children, and a fangirl

So much goodness going on in this set of photos... First of all, it’s always good when Hot Harry is on a horse. And it’s even better when Hot Harry spends time with the children. And it’s hilarious when Hot Harry is in the presence of a fan girl who cannot handle his ginger sizzle. Full Story
The family supports Hot Harry

Harry was busy yesterday. He and his brother visited with injured service personnel in Tidworth -- click here to see those photos if you missed them -- and then he was in London at the Chelsea Flower Show in support of his Sentebale charity’s forget-me-not garden. Full Story
The Royal Bond Girl is honoured

There are more photos of this event to come in the next article but the Queen deserves her moment alone, don’t you think? Especially when she’s receiving an award for a change instead of handing one out. And an acting award at that! The Queen was presented an honourary BAFTA award yesterday for her support of British film and television but, really, let’s be honest, it was for her performance as a Bond Girl at the Olympics.

Katy Cambridge’s 3 out of 4

Princess Catherine stepped out again today on official royal duty, her third appearance in four days, this time at the side of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh at a visit to Baker Street underground station. Not that there was any doubt about it but this reaffirms, obviously, that Her Majesty is very fond of her granddaughter-in-law, and perhaps more so because she’s (re)productive. Full Story
Katy Cambridge comes to the party
By helicopter. But first... How was 2012, Your Majesty? Mostly good, if not great, right? With the exception of that ginger grandson taking off his clothes in Vegas, this was a very strong year for the Queen, and a wonderful follow-up to 2011 when Prince William married his Catherine as a prelude to her Diamond Jubilee.

Commander Kate

Kate Winslet was made a Commander of the British Empire today in London at an investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace with the Queen. Let’s Photo Assume Her Majesty: Her Majesty seems fond of Ms Winslet, non? Good welcoming body language, leaning towards her subject, not grimacing as she’s pinning her. Full Story
Let Harry be with the children

Prince Harry stepped out in public for the first time since his Vegas adventures a couple of weeks ago - at the WellChild Awards last night in London and at the Paralympics today (more on this later) but not before the UK tabloids printed an interview with a woman, Carrie Reichart, who claims she was one of the people randomly selected to go up to his suite.

The Royal Seating Plan at the Paralympic Games Opening Ceremony

If you are able to, definitely check out the Opening Ceremony for the Paralympics. I’ve been streaming it for the last couple of hours. It’s goose pimply and fist pumpy and it would make most people cry, but not Her Majesty of course because this is not how we express emotion in public, is it? The Queen was in attendance tonight. Full Story
Harry’s day of reckoning
Hot Harry who was caught on camera cavorting nude in Las Vegas has returned to London. As I first reported yesterday - click here for a refresher - the heat is now on his protection officers for completely cocking up the assignment. Again, it’s not that they could have corrected or prevented the behaviour but that they failed to conceal it. Full Story
Olympic Countdown!

Very, very soon...you ready? The London Games Opening Ceremony is happening in a few minutes and the Queen is supposed to be present. But first she had to host a party at her house. Here’s Her Majesty at a reception for Heads of State and Government this afternoon, including Michelle Obama. Full Story
The Cambridges are also the Strathearns

Prince William was made Knight of the Thistle in Edinburgh. In Scotland then, he and his Catherine will be known as the Earl and Countess of Strathearn. She had a plaid scarf with her to mark the occasion. The Queen and Prince Philip were also there, along with Princess Anne, except today they keep calling her the Princess Royal which, obviously, is her proper style except it’s a mystery to cultural pigs like me why they seemingly arbitrarily use one and not the other and vice versa and when. Full Story
William, Catherine, and no nude heels

The Queen was accompanied by her grandchildren today in Nottingham while Prince Philip continues to recover. Prince William and his Catherine coordinated their clothes. But, as you can see, this time Kate decided to go with a pair of black pumps instead of her usual nude ones. The British tabloids were bitching all last week about how often she wears them. Full Story
The Queen & Her (only) Heirs

All I remember reading in advance about the balcony appearance and flypast was that the Queen would be accompanied by “senior members of the Royal Family”. Senior means only the Waleses? There’s always something new to learn, see? Just Charles with his wife and children, the heir and the heir’s heir and his spare. Full Story
The Rise Of Camilla and the Family Wales

Obviously this is not the portrait we expected in 1981 looking ahead 30 years. And those of you loyal to Diana would say that it disgusts you to see this woman who caused Diana so much grief be embraced the way she’s been, so much so that she was invited today to sit next to the Queen in the carriage.
