:previous:Is it just me, does everyone look a little uncomfortable in those pictures? William looks like he'd rather be off camera (not unusual, since he's not attention/photo op hungry).

It was apparently pouring down rain and rather windy for the entire match. So maybe the discomfort is in that.

Makes perfect sense! Being out in wet attire is not exactly ideal for any situation, let alone for photographs.
 
William looks in great form riding his horse.
 
:previous: He does indeed. He has a very regal presence when riding, especially during Trooping the Colour.
 
I didn´t know where to post it,here´s an article from hello magazine-they wrote about how much money the wedding exhibition raised for charity (there are also nice pictures!):

"The gown has now no doubt secured the royal seal of approval after raising an estimated £10 million.Money raised from the exhibit will go to a charity set up by her and Prince William"

Kate Middleton takes on first royal patronage - The Times of India

"We believe that it will provide a unique opportunity for us to use our privileged position to make a real difference in the future to many areas of charitable work," the Daily Express quoted Prince William as saying.

"We feel passionately that, working closely together with those who contribute to our foundation, we can help to make a long-lasting and tangible difference," he added.

:previous: I'm glad to see them starting to make more appearances! And this definitely sounds like another worthy cause.

William went on, "it is a place of sanctuary....a place of quiet pride in the selflessness and sacrifice of those who have gone before."

Thanks for the preview photos. This gown looks like it has possibilities, so I can't wait to see more pictures. And I'm loving what I can see of that diamond drop earring, and in the full-view photo that could be the diamond bracelet Kate wore at the charity dinner at CH. Hopefully we'll see closeups of that as well to confirm.

That dress

For those who watch Project Runway in the US, that dress looks remarkably like one of the losing entries several weeks ago- was thought to look too much like the Statue of Liberty! I'm sure Kate's gown is lovely though-looking forward to a better picture.

Thank you, Ghost Night, for taking the time to do this. It's much appreciated.

I was wondering about the bracelet as well - it looks really nice
 
The Mail photo (first one) looks like it's the same one.

Love the earrings...the gown is hideous. Sorry, but that is just awful! The makeup is over the top, as well. Sigh...
 
Kate must be devastated that Will is leaving for the Falklands in January for six weeks, but she's a military wife and has to expect that. She also knew in advance that this was going to happen, so she's had time to prepare herself. But it's still hard, I'm sure.
