10 photos in galleryHe’s back, he’s pointing at people, he’s wearing a suit, he’s cavorting with adorable children. It’s like someone in the Royal Family’s press team realizes that the key to recouping Prince Harry after Naked Vegasville is just to have him do all the things Fug Nation loves most. Also, perhaps they’ve realized that just running around starkers isn’t exactly the worst thing anyone has ever done. It isn’t even the weirdest thing his immediate family has ever done. Although, in Charles’s defense, he had no idea that his phone was tapped and that one day we’d all hear him tell Camilla he wished he could be her tampon so he could always be in her pants (although if you read the actual transcript of that conversation, he is clearly basically joking. Also, that conversation is equal parts GET A ROOM and also sort of sweet in a weird way if one ignores the fact that at least one of them was still married at that point). Also: Kate looks great.

I have to say, that’s not my favorite outfit that Kate has ever worn. You nailed it when you said she looked like a very stylish flight attendant. I sort of expected her to hand the medal recipient his medal and a little packet of peanuts. And all the royals do seem to be great pointers-at-things…
It’s basically a uniform though, so I think she gets a pass on it personally.
Prince Harry? Overly CHEEKY? Oh, I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE.
That woman is about the size of a minute–how did they manage to find a skirt that’s too tight on her?
OK, on Charles’ tampon-gate, that was just the right mix of sexy and dirty. Lucky Milla.
Welcome back, Harry! Kate, I’ll take a ginger ale with very little ice, thank you.
Harry’s suit pants look oddly voluminous. (Are they pleated?) Like they’re trying to cover him in as much fabric as possible to make up for the nakey pics.
My thought exactly.
I thought Sophie Wessex looked very pretty in her red jacket and white skirt. Sure, she may have been a little overdressed but better than looking sloppy.
She also has the flight attendant vibe going though. Except for Virgin, not Delta like Kate.
THIS!!!
So glad to see Harry again
The whole naked thing is stupid.
I agree on Kate’s FA suit, not her best look. But lets be honest, does she ever look BAD? I think not.
i’m just so happy harry’s back. but what of wills? i was looking for a re-hashing of their sordid olympic – and, i might add, imagined – love triangle.
Wills hasn’t been out since the 30th. I think he is back at work.
I still think naked Harry is about the best thing the royal family has ever done.
And I want my hair to look much much more like Kate’s hair.
Thoughts:
1. Harry’s charismas and grin more than make up for his Saville Row Hammer pants.
2. I’m bored of the espadrilla wedges (espadrillidges?)
3. Sophie Wessex is secretly awesome and aging well. I think she looks really nice in her red blazer and her kids are cute, too.
agreed on all points. Sophie puts it together very well, and I think her kids are adorably “normal”. I hate everything here that is happening on Kate AND Harry, which seriously i don’t think i’ve ever thought…? The pants are too big, the jacket is too long, and what, did someone pick Kate’s outfit from the children’s bin? Is that is 3T skirt??
That pic of Harry with the two kids sticking their tongues out…that may be the cutest pic ever of him.
Hrmm. Possible, but the competition is stiff.
Possibly Jessica and Heather need to do a retrospective photo gallery and poll so we can make a proper decision. You know, for science.
This may be the best idea I’ve ever seen. I second this. For science.
^ ^ THIS!!
I just snarked coffee out of my nose whilst reading your post. Again. At least it didn’t hit my keyboard this time.
I have an inappropriate love for Harry. The Vegas escapade made me love him more, if that’s possible.
Ditto. In fact, the only thing that disgusted me about the whole ordeal is the fact that I live here in Vegas… and missed him! Again! I need stalking lessons apparently.
I still enjoy Kate and Harry, but I am pretty much royaled out at this point.
I’m sorry, orgies in Vegas? Not cool. And, while pointing at things is okay, pointing at people, especially right in their faces, is just rude. I never got the Harry love, he skeeves me out. He just gives off a general douche vibe, and I guess now we know the reason why.
Yeah, they let Harry out of the dungeon!
I hate flying but if Kate would bring me a pillow and a People magazine I just might let go of the armrest.
Since that transcript is of a private phone conversation that was recorded without the prior knowledge and consent of either participant, Charles and Camilla technically already DID have a room. Two, in fact., as they were in their respective homes. That whole thing was seriously squicky; not because of what they said, but because of the massive invasion of privacy.
Anyhow, I’m glad to see that Harry is allowed out in public again and he’s never more adorable than when interacting with kids, which he obviously loves to do.
Wow, in that last picture of Kate (great picture!), she looks so much like Mary Louise Parker. I’ve never seen that resemblance before.
True, both Charles and Diana had their share of squicky scandals but that was in the age before the internet. Harry should be slightly savvier.
Two things:
1) That teeny tiny viscount is going to trip on his Olympic pass.
2) Kate’s hair, while not even close to messy, is a bit messier than I think I’ve ever seen it. It gives me just a bit of hope for my own hair.
Becca, I think that may actually be Kate’s version bed-head.
I love that every publication that featured Harry in a photo from the Wellchild Awards captioned it something like, “Prince Harry, pictured here wearing clothes….” as tho he parades around naked all. the. time. Oh, if only….
When I saw the thumbnail, I thought that the doorman was Prince Andrew, all kitted out in a military uniform.
Oh my god, how is Louise so grown up?! I feel ancient. I would comment on the clothes, but instead I think you guys need to check your records because I’m pretty sure Louise is a baby and James hasn’t even been born yet.
In the last picture Duchess Katherine looks a bit like off-duty Wonder Woman. What was her name? Diana Palmer?
Diana Prince.
Can there possibly be in this world another rich/royal person who has so much fun being rich/royal as Harry?
Please don’t tell me his hair is going the way of Wills’s at the back.
Also, I love Kate’s outfit. It’s particularly perfect for a flight attendant or possibly a pilot. Just add a cap.
I read somewhere that the song “Bare Necessities” from the Jungle Book was on the playlist for the children’s event. If true, FANTASTIC!
The Prince Harry posts were especially funny.
I’m on Team Harry. Yeah, a little skanky (in particular the girls/women), a little poor judgment, a little let’s-hope-he-doesn’t-make-a-habit-of-this, but otherwise, so what? He’s a young guy, after all. I especially love that royal servicemen and others have been taking au naturel photos of themselves and posting them in a sign of support.
Separately I admit that I always thought that he suspiciously bore no facial resemblance to anyone in the House of Windsor. Then I saw an eyes-half-closed shot of him in the Daily Mail and was hit on the head with the resemblance to Prince Charles. It’s in the eyes – sort of too close together.
Kate/Catherine’s outfit is nice enough, but the shoes seemed mismatched.
Why do I always think that Harry looks like a young John McEnroe?
If Ryan Lochte shows up, I want you to kill him.
That made my day. So, so funny.
Harry looks great! Much better in a uniform or suit than naked. Further evidence of the reason God created clothing. (Ryan being the exception that proves the rule.)
I do love the last picture of Kate, so thank you for including it!
I love Harry – though he does tend to get tangled up in things he ought to think twice about. But I still love him anyway.
