Kate visits school for M-PACT Plus
Our dear Kate Middleton made an appearance yesterday in Islington, north London, to the Blessed Sacrament School to check in on a project she and the Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry (could that name be any longer?) launched last year, M-PACT Plus. M-PACT Plus, which stands for Moving […]
Kate showed up for Trooping the Color
Trooping the Color went down yesterday. It marks the Queen’s official birthday—not her actual birthday, which was in April. Trooping the Color originated as a means to show soldiers their regiment flag, so they would recognize their flag while in battle. This was called, “trooping”, where they carried the flag down the ranks to show […]

Kate wears bright green for day in Canberra
We have reached Day 18, the penultimate day of the Royal Tour of Australia and New Zealand. Prince William and Kate Middleton spent their next-to-last day in Canberra—the capital of Australia. They visited the National Arboretum, where they planted a tree (and by “planted” I mean they threw dirt over and already planted tree) and […]
Kate tries DJ-ing while wearing a deep v-neck in Elizabeth/Adelaide
Can I just say, no royal should ever try DJ-ing. It was cringe-worthy when Charles did it and it’s cringe-worthy when Will and Kate do it. Please, royals, just stop. Granted, neither one really wanted to try it; they both kept insisting the other go first—they must have known how cringe-worthy they would look. For […]
Will and Kate visit Uluru (Ayers Rock)
Days 14 and 15: Church, Zoo, and a stroll around Governor General’s house
Prince George is the most interesting Cambridge. Will and Kate can take a seat; George is the STAR. All three Cambridges visited the Taronga Zoo (on Day 14 of their tour) where they opened the Prince George Bilby Exhibit. George got to meet a bilby that is named after him. Bilbies are a nocturnal, rabbit-like […]
