Olympically Played, Wills and Kate and Harry


well-played

Her striped top is adorable, but let’s get real: we really just think the three of them are totally cute and I like to watch them hanging out. ENJOY.

    Serious question now… does she do her eyebrows with a Sharpie?

    I would like to volunteer my..ahem..services to Harry, he probably needs help with that mission.

        I’ll volunteer as well, even though I’m afraid this might qualify me to be a dirty old lady.

      I’m embarrassed at just how much I fawn over Harry, probably more than any other male “celeb”–he is just so DAMNED APPEALING. I would put myself on the list right after you, pretty!

    1. I love that she is wearing some sort of pass with her picture on it in the last frame. AS IF EVERYONE DOESN’T KNOW WHO SHE IS/recognize the other people she’s with.

    2. In all of the photos where she’s ‘flirting’ with Harry, Wills isn’t even paying attention. Come on, Wills! Your brother is sharing his spicy gingerness with your wife!

      I know you put your “flirting” in quotes but sheesh – I totally interact like this with my brother-in-law ‘cuz, hey, I LIKE him (and not in the “wanna get in your pants way.) He’s fun and we have fun together.

      (I’m so annoyed by all this Harry loves Kate stuff. Argh! NORMAL HUMAN INTERACTION people!)

      Done rant. Thank you for your time. lol

        Thank you. I also find it a bit awkward. I am all for sense of humour but I am even more for healthy man-woman relationships – and I firmly believe they don’t happen more often because of our dirrrrrty minds. But hey, I get it is only a joke!!!

          I don’t ACTUALLY think he loves her. Well, scratch that — I like believing he secretly loves her, because it’s soapy. But seriously, I’m just riffing on it. I don’t think there is ANYTHING untoward about their actual relationship — I actually love how cute the three of them are together. And I don’t EVER get the impression that Kate loves anyone but William. It’s just fun to imagine the soapy drama of poor Prince Harry — formerly such a bad boy (kinda) — falling in love with his brother’s wife but UNABLE to do anything about it because: DUTY and FILIAL LOVE. And everyone else is just waiting for him to grow out of it. It’s classic Judith Krantz, which is why it is fun. And I do think Harry’s body language to Kate is somewhat besotted. But whose isn’t? I am also besotted with her.

        I think perhaps you are taking this too seriously.

        If the pictures were taken out of context, and you knew nothing about these people, you would assume that Harry and Kate are together. HOWEVER, I completely recognize that they AREN’T flirting, which is why it’s in quotations. IT’S A JOKE. This is a site where this is actually encouraged!

      Everyone has to wear a pass at the Olympics, even the athletes. You’ll notice that the swimmers are giving their passes almost immediately after getting out of the pool. My mom is there as a journalist (she was actually about 10 rows behind the Trio when these particular pics were taken), her passes were sent the last week of May. She was moving at the time and was terrified that FedEx wouldn’t find her. It’s a bitch to get those reissued. I love that Kate had to get the same passport-esque photo as everyone else.

    Please never stop doing these. Especially the ones where we get to “peek” inside Harry’s head.

    Seeing as none of us will ever get to peek elsewhere on Harry….oh yeah I went there.

    So, she doesn’t have extensions, does she? I go back and forth on that, but I think I’ve finally come down on the side of “no extensions.”

    • Gine

      If she does, they are very, VERY good extensions. It certainly looks real, and my stringy-stranded self is so jealous. She’s got, like, ten times the amount of hair I have.

      • Jessica

        I think she does have extensions, but I think they are VERY expensive and well-kept ones. I also think she has decent real hair. So the combo = MAGIC.

        • Steph

          So the moral of this story is: she isn’t using the same hairdresser at Britney Spears?

          I think they all look great in these shots. They’ve got that “casual yet sharp” look down perfectly. In addition to the “class in class” I wish Kate would teach, I’m hoping all three of them teach “casual yet sharp” too.

          Noooooo Does no one have their own hair these days?

          And seriously, Wills, if your wife has extensions, maybe you should visit her hair stylist, just for a consult…

        • yeahandalso

          I think we need another word for extensions when they are used to make hair fuller not longer. If these are extensions than she is doing it right

          My coworker (who couldn’t afford tri-weekly blow outs like Catherine reportedly gets) has hair like hers. It’s gorgeous!

    #2 cracks me up. I’m not sure Jessica is wrong with her caption there…
    #3 is even better!
    #4-look how adorable she is! Even more so than usual here. No wonder Harry is in love with her.
    #5-Seriously, her hair. I know people get tired of her wearing it the same way all the time, but if mine looked like that, I would wear it down like that and play with it all the time.

    I do hope Harry finds some sort of happiness, in the Olympic village or elsewhere. I adore him!

    I. want. her. hair.

    Seriously, anyone ladies (or gentleman) out there accomplished in curling hair who can tell me how I get my hair to look like this???

    • Kris M

      It depends on what you’re starting with. This probably isn’t a huge departure from her natural hair, which is probably thick and wavy. If you have stick straight hair, it’s not going to be easy to get a sustained bounce like hers. If you do have some wave or curl, blowdrying with a round brush will get you body and ends like hers. Using a curling iron to curl sections, then comb with your fingers might work well for the rest of it.

        My hair starts thick and wavy/curly, but no amount of styling will make it look like Kate’s. I am convinced it is done with sleakeazy potion, which was an engagement present from Hermione Granger.

          YES.

          In all seriousness: I saw a group of pictures from Kate’s university days and yes: she already had the fabulous, bouncy, shiny chestnut brown hair. Some people get all the luck!

        • jenny

          Yes, let’s just be clear that thick + wavy/curly does not equal anything like Kate’s hair without much work, special genes, or fancy magic. I have a lifetime of pictures to prove it.

    I was thinking of you guys today – there was a report on the radio that apparently a local man looks a lot like Prince Harry. He’s in London right now attending the Olympics and he keeps getting mistaken for Harry! I must seek him out when he returns. (BTW I live in Toronto so he doesn’t have a hot British accent, but I’ll take what I can get.) (Also what a bummer that it was a RADIO report so I couldn’t check it out for myself.)

          As someone who has four different colors of the same pair of sandals, bought over a three year period, I’d guess hers must be very comfortable.

      No wonder she and the Queen get on so very well, then. Nothing like finding shoes you LOVE!

    I love me some Harry, but he and Wills must be the only British servicepeople who aren’t guarding a venue, being made redundant or getting a gold in rowing.

    Oh man. That outfit she has on is too cute for words. I totally wore it’s significantly cheaper version to work like… last week. ROYAL HIGHNESSES: THEY’RE JUST LIKE US!

    God I hope I have a relationship with my in-laws like she has with Harry– when I grow up and actually have a husband, let alone a set of in-laws.

    My favorite part of the fount of awesomeness on display here is actually the security pass that’s visible around Kate’s neck in the last photo. Even royals need clearance!

    Unlike pandas, who never know that they are the cutest, most loveable things in the world, the royals must know that they are the pandas of the human world. NO BETTER COMPLIMENT EXTANT.

    I think it’s awesome that Kate has a go-to comfy yet cute shoe for things like this. She wears those navy espadrilles to all these sporty events. She’s just like real folk!

    I love that this post was basically a fanfic about Harry’s love for Kate. Never change, GFY.

      I can only agree, Harry & Kate fanfic is the best. Did you see the photos where he doesn’t get to sit next to Kate, but some dude is sitting between them and he’s next to Eugenie (or Beatrice? I don’t know which is which) and looks MISERABLE? Bring on the stories!

    The Guardian newspaper has also been tracking the young royals this week.

    She’ll always have the hair, and I know there’ll be more PYTs to follow, but right now I look at Middleton and think: It’s gonna be a tad sad when she ages.

    I’m going to this maudlin place because I just saw “Bonnie & Clyde” (inspired by a Warren Beatty link you’d posted a while ago). It’s actually not that good a movie, but Faye Dunaway’s face was once a g-d miracle. Kate Moss though was next in line for that face, and it’s lasted a little longer than Dunaway’s. So “logically” someday someone else will have Middleton’s youth face, and perhaps her hair, legs, and tiny hips as well. It’s all good.

    “Fact finding”. I can think of another word starting with f for that.

    You know, for some reason as I was flicking through these pics I wondered what fragrances they wear…….

    I am convinced she has a deal with the devil somehow to have SUCH great hair in every condition possible. Especially hair that stays so amazing through that somewhat constant London drizzle. My hair was a total disaster while I was there and I lived for the hood on my North Face rain jacket.

    I also love the striped tank top! She doesn’t wear many sleeveless things, does she?

    I am going to spend my entire life staring at you while you laugh at my brother. This is going to make an amazing mini-series in about fifty years.

    This IS perfectly Judith Krantzy, and all the better because I don’t believe it at all. What I love about their relationships is that it’s so clear that Wills & Kate are crazy about each other, and that Harry and Wills are really really close – and it’s wonderful to see that everyone’s perfectly happy about all of that, instead of the crazy melodrama where the brother resents the woman for stealing away his best friend, or some such crap. These seem to be genuinely healthy, loving relationships, and as someone who grew up on the tabloid hellscape that the previous generation of Royals endured because of their unhealthy, unloving, deeply broken relationships, THIS IS FANTASTIC and completely unexpected. Especially given that Wills & Harry lost their mother in all that; seeing them so close, and both seeming genuinely happy, is kind of amazing.

      Somewhere in that too-long comment I lost the point, which is that feeling so secure in the healthiness of these relationships allows me to snort with glee at these hilarious, soap-operatic posts. <3 these.

    There are pictures of the Trio at yesterday’s cycling on the Daily Mail website. William and Kate are actually hugging in one of them which is, frankly, too cute for words. And yes, there are some fantastic shots of Harry too *watches as rate of traffic to DM website accelerates to speed of light*

    I love this slideshows! I love seeing them through GFY Jessica’s eyes & soapy mind… It is endlessly entertaining! Plus, it’s obvious that they like each other & enjoy being together, which is so freaking adorable, I just can’t! And, OMG, Kate’s hair is about to become the bain of my existence… Going to the Beauty Salon today!!!

    I love everything you write – always witty, incisive etc. but this one time, the whole Harry loves Kate thing – found it a tad distasteful. I can see I am in the minority here going by the comments! Thing is, maybe it’s my traditional upbringing where the brother-in-law and s-i-l relationship is akin to that between a brother and sister! I know how appealing and romantic is the idea of unrequited love, I’ll love you from a distance, for ever etc. etc. but in this case, when Harry and Kate are related and seem such good friends and Kate and Wills seem so much in love, it’s too awkward to hint a something between the friends. There’s been articles on this “attraction” on that holy gospel the Daily Mail too. Okie, that was my gripe with this piece; that apart, I love your captions and love your coverage of the Royals :)

    I just wanna say I have looked at a lot of websites and blogs about the Royals especially the ‘trio’ and most people are just nasty but I love love LOVE your website. I love your comments, they make me laugh. It’s 4 AM right now in Thailand and I’m preparing for my exam and stressed out and your photos with the captions still made me laugh. This is the one website where people don’t seem ‘envious’ and therefore nasty towards the Royal Family. Love your website. It’s become a daily read for me :) . I love the way you write. Please, keep showing us more and more photos. Love, love and love.
