I really loved the dress until I got to the bottom of it and instantly realized that Vampire's Wife got the best of me again. Looks like they've gotten some new patterns, though, and I love the fabric. She looks a lot more genuinely happy than Kate does at the moment.

The Queen was brimming with excitement and joy today as she arrived at the Royal Windsor Horse Show - one of her favourite events of the year - despite ongoing mobility problems forcing her to miss the State Opening of Parliament this week. The 96-year-old monarch, wearing sunglasses, pink lipstick and dresses casually in a white blouse and dark cardigan, looked in good health and spirits after she wound down her window and chatted animatedly to fellow festival-goers having never missed the event in the past 79 years. But after missing the Queen's Speech on Tuesday on doctor's orders as she struggles to walk or stand for long periods, Her Majesty chose to stay in the passenger seat of her Range Rover, where she spoke to passers-by and watched horses in the parade ring. It came after made a secret trip to see her own horses this week as she missed the first day of the event yesterday. 14 of her animals will be taking part over the coming days, and the monarch was visibly delighted to see them today. The Royal Windsor Horse Show was also beloved of her husband, Prince Philip, who died last April at the age of 99, so attended today will be both a poignant and a happy memory of their 73-year marriage    www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10812857/Queen-smiles-arrives-Royal-Windsor-Horse-Show.html |

She looks thrilled to be there, it makes me wonder how hard she had to fight to be allowed to go. It's clearly something she very much enjoys and at this point in her life she should allowed to do these kinds of things freely.

I love the dress, but her face is frightening.

 Dame Deborah James has thanked Prince William for "going above and beyond to make a very special memory" in visiting her family home to confer her damehood. Podcaster Dame Deborah, 40, revealed last week she was receiving end-of-life care for bowel cancer, adding the five days since had been the "most surreal, mind blowing, humbling" of her life. She has raised nearly £6m for cancer research since revealing her prognosis. "Can't quite believe im actually a Dame!" she wrote on social media. Dame Deborah has received widespread praise for her no-nonsense approach to talking about her cancer publicly - particularly as co-presenter on the BBC's You, Me and the Big C podcast - and has shared her experiences of treatment and daily life with her social media followers since her diagnosis in 2016. The Duke of Cambridge visited the mother of two at her parents' home, where she is spending her remaining time with her family, on Friday to present her with the honour. Writing on Instagram, Dame Deborah said: "My family are being amazing and as emotional as it all is, we are finding so much to smile about in the sadness." She explained she was "getting weaker and more tired" and had been "running off pure adrenaline" over the last few days. "But my word, I always said I wanted to slide in sideways when my time is up, with a massive smile, no regrets and a big glass of champagne! Still my intention!!!" She launched the fund - to pay for research into personalised medicine for cancer patients and to support campaigns to raise awareness of bowel cancer, on Monday - with an initial goal of £250,000. It came after she revealed she did not know how long she had left to live after stopping treatment and moving to hospice-at-home care. After Prince William conferred the damehood on Friday, the former deputy headteacher wrote: she was "utterly honoured" at being joined by him for afternoon tea and champagne, adding he had "spent a generous amount of time talking to my whole family". "It's quite surreal having a royal pop in at home, and yes you can imagine the cleaning antics and preparation went off the scale - but it was all irrelevant because William was so kind and he put us all at ease," she added. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-61450225 |

Her strength and attitude are amazing. It was really lovely of him to do this, even if it was planned for some positive optics for the royal family, and I'm only mentioning that possibility before someone scoffs - planned for whatever reason, he seems to have handled it with kindness and a generous spirit.
So, this time - well done, Wills.

Another day, another carriage driving in Windsor - Interestingly the Traveller families near me do a very similar sport but with traps & not carriages.

The poor Queen looks like she is well under 5' now.
