I just saw the pictures from Harry's graduation. They were great! And the Queen must be very pleased with Harry -- usually, even with her grandchildren, she looks so stiff when she's being photographed. (A friend just gave me an old book on the Queen and it had some pictures I had never seen before. It really surprised me because she was actually interacting with her children (playing with them or showing them something) rather than posing for the camera.)

I am really excited for Harry too.

’And what do you do?’ The question Britons don’t ask their queen


LONDON - What is the point of an 80-year-old queen with no real power? It’s a question the majority of Britons don’t ask, such is the extent to which Queen Elizabeth II has become part of the national furniture.

The Countess looks so slim and elegant!

Seems, Sophie has lost some weight. I like her clothes, although I´m generally no fan of her style.
Is it William on the backseat with Charles and Camilla? I can´t detect exactly.

What a cool cake! Nice to see Charles and Harry together, it's not every day we get to see several of the Wales's out and about.

It feels a bit strange to see Harry in a suit, so smart and handsome like this, after all the paparazzi pics we usually get to see... A good PR move as well perhaps, I guess Harry needs to improve his image.

 

[ysbel]

Its good to see Charles and Harry on an engagement together. The BRF does a lot of individual events except for husband and wife teams but I think the royal family makes more impact as a family when they do events together.

Nice pictures.
Thanks for posting!

Im guessing that the Princes Trust Concert at the Tower pics will be posted here since there are many members of the Royal Family attending. Its intresting that the concert is going up against Eurovision but I dont think Eurovision is that popular in the UK.

No that is Natasha Hamilton, glad to see Dame Edna in attendence.

 

[LadyK]

I sure hope that is Kate.... or we may have something new to talk about...
Fanletizia (or anyone else who knows), what does it mean when you say that HM QEII is the "sovereign of the Order of Bath" and that HRH P Charles is the "Grand Master?" Who is really in charge?

 

[runaway princess]

I don't know if people know this but NBC Dateline will play a interview for the first time together of Prince Harry, Charles and Wils.....it's at NBC @ 7!!

 

[Saragli]

Is this tonight. Like in 13 minutes tonight.

 

[Saragli]

P. William didnt kiss her on the mouth as you can see in the other pics. It just looks like that and Im sure the tabloids will use it to their advantage. The Queen is Soverign and all powerfull of the order and Charles is like the prime minister of the order but with no power.
