I'm still trying to sort through all this but I think I'll be around for most of the events though there is no way I'll be able to pull off the really early ones.

Osipi, if you have a reliable high-speed internet connection you should be able to watch just about any of the events you want. I'll PM you a few sites worth bookmarking via which you should be able to watch the BBC's coverage, among other broadcasters, if that's what you'd prefer.

Thanks! I'd really appreciate that.

EIIR, if you could PM the links to me as well, I'd really appreciate it.
Our channels usually show just the events we take part in - and there aren't too many of those.

I agree Mirabel...I would LOVE to see Equestrian events...fat chance of them showing more than a few min of it.

LOVE her sunglasses; they are really cool.
Great necklace too - and spot on, considering the occasion. I wonder whether it was a gift or Anne bought it herself.

I really like the necklace. Goes wonderfully with the whole look.

'Roughly 6:33pm'? Couldn't they be more specific? What are we saying, 6:33:15? Or 6:33:45?

(I'm being sarcastic, unless it's not obvious).

British Royals‏@britishroyals
Seems like the royals will take on a specialty sport: William with football,Kate with table tennis & judo, Harry with basketball

Wonder why Kate isn't taking on field hockey.

Hope my favorite basketball coach, the US coach whom I've actually met, gets to meet Harry.

This is a special event about training young people to be coaches. Perhaps field hockey isn't being done here. But she is watching the field hockey at the Olympics

that is too funny! Of course if they had left out the word "roughly" it wouldn't have been nearly as amusing

Thank you, cepe!

Are Will, Kate, and Harry going to teach young people how to be coaches or are they royal patrons, for lack of better words, for these sports in this endeavor?

You're welcome. They are patrons through their foundation. There is a lot about it on the BRF Current events thread (sorry dont know how to do shortcut)

Just seen the live pictures on the ITV news of the torch at Buckingham Palace and the Countess of Wessex plus Lady Louise and Viscount Severn were also in the crowds inside the palace forecourt waving at the torch bearer.

 

[MichelleQ2]

I think Will & Harry purposely picked different color shirts and pants so they wouldnt have 2 matchy photo ops in 1 day
