The Duke and the Duchess are going to represent the Queen at the Coronation of King George Tupou V of Tonga on Friday 1st August.
 
The Queen's pictures look so pretty - what is the insigniture she is wearing looks a bit odd on a mac
 
Doesn't she look terrific? Love the longer hair - still has a great figure! She looks better and better as she gets older -

Great to see the Duchess there again this year supporting the tennis - did she go all 3 days?

Yes she did go all the 3 days. It is according to the Court Circular on the British Monarchy Website. But i think the press might be focused on the players more rather than the Duchess.
 
Nice man ! good going so considering how far down in the Line of Succession he is and his age would we ever see a King Richard IV and Queen Bridgette?
 
The Gloucesters have always been a classy act --- very private and unassuming, yet extremely supportive of the Queen. No scandal, no gossip - the Duke gave up a very promising career in architecture when his elder brother was killed.
 
The Duke always reminds me of the generation that came before the present Queen. He has a certain "old school" quality about him. I like this couple as well.:flowers:

There's something about that picture that puts me in mind of Spain's Queen Sophia: perhaps it's the blonde hair and the serious expression.:flowers:
