Tonight is a function across the road from us. All fancy wine, frocks and I am sure many a boring speech. Kates dress was a nice homage to NZ, a few diamonds at her wrist and her hair looked lovely. There was a portrait of the queen, all formal and stuff that looked a bit paint by numbers and we think they got the lipstick wrong. Too dark - not queenie looking at all.
Funny to think that all this is happening three minutes from our house, and you all are watching it on the news at your houses, all round the world. Did you know there are 450 press following them around on their Kiwi/Aussie adventure? Crazy huh? Wonder if they get to go upstairs after and put their sweatpants on, check on George and stream some Game of Thrones? Do you think they Skype Harry, Charles and Camilla?
Maybe they send the Queen a postcard? Came to Wellington, quite windy, wet and cool (you promised nice weather - we got here a week too late), no need for sunscreen. Got a case of wine for the castle. Borrowed some of your diamonds. Send cash. Love Wills, Kate and Baby G.
It's almost the weekend!!! Hope you all have some fun planned!

ReplyDeleteYour so clever....HeHe! :).

Pink would be nice...
And, Georgie is such a poser..If he wore a crown..It what keep falling off...He seemed to like meeting the other babies...Though one little girl did cry...After he hit her on the head with his fist....HeHe! :>).
Love your postcard quips. I'm sure that's just how it went, too. hahahaha!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day, ladies!
We are loving your awesome reporting of the royal couple. So exciting!
ReplyDeleteLovely and all full of grace! When Princess Margaret came to the US (a thousand years ago) she brought her cat with her and boarded it at our next door neighbor's cat boarding kennel. It was called The Meow Motel :).

That's so exciting! And I'm SURE they escape upstairs to put their sweatpants on after these functions...yup, they do. *giggle*
ReplyDeleteWe did get to see the little prince playing with the babies. He seemed to play well and share.

ReplyDeleteLove this post! Prince George is so darned adorable. And Kate looks gorgeous as always. William's taste in women is much better than his father's. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is pretty amazing that all this is happening so near to your house, Poppy! Wouldn't it be awesome if a royal saw you and gave you a pet?
ReplyDeleteOh Poppy, how very exciting and how very, well,...normal. It's probably the warm Kiwi hospitality that has put everyone at ease.
ReplyDeleteKate's dress selection was very
thoughtful and she looks very
formal yet relaxed.. We think
something is just a bit off about the Queen's mouth. A bit too long in the
upper lip maybe but still lovely.
We can't believe you are so close to
all of the action!
You are lucky. We can just imagine the excitement with everyone in NZ following the lovely royal couple! Your reporting is much appreciated. Meow, from Jessica
ReplyDeleteHeehee! I always wonder about the life of royals ;)

ReplyDeleteLove reading the posts and quips about the royal visit
