Ah, too bad. It wasn’t quite the shape of a shoe, but it was verrrry close. Also, it was not leopard print. But I think if you wait long enough, a lot of ridiculous things become normal, and a lot of normal things become ridiculous. ---

Hair. I say Kate will wearing it half-and-half. Not all the way up, but pulled up partially, and some bits left long and natural. ---

Didn’t like the Prime Minister’s wife’s hat-thing, but she’s lovely. Less than an hour now! ---

I was trying to avoid it but my roomie just turned it on. About 90% of the people interviewed are American or Canadian. Very odd. But… we may be a slightly rubbish country, but damn we do pageantry well. ---

I am overwhelmed. I am watching history. I do have to say, though, that William’s hair is soon to be a distant memory. If I hadn’t had that uniform described (and if he wasn’t with his brother), I’d have taken him for his uncle Edward. ---

That is a shit uniform. Very unflattering. And Harry looks like he got interrupted during a bondage game.
