Here are some new photos of Kate Middleton and the Duchess of Cornwall at the “Trooping the Color” event today, Saturday. “Trooping the Color” is, from what I understand as an American, just some pomp and pageantry with the royal family and royal guards where everybody does their formations and waves politely. Prince William was with the Irish Guards, wearing his red and black, plus a fancy new-looking bear-skin hat. In case you ever wanted to know what William would look like if he got himself a fabulous black afro toupee, here you go:

It kind of works, right?

Anyway, the “Trooping the Color” event today was for the Queen’s official birthday, but the Queen gets to celebrate her birthday, like, five times a year, so don’t ask. As for Kate/Catherine/Waity, she chose to deck herself in a rather spectacular white coat. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I love when newlywed women wear a lot of white. I find it sweet and appropriate, but I think I love it so much because I just love women in white. I don’t know who did the coat, but the cut is beautiful. As for Kate’s hat… ugh, I’m not a hat person. Sometimes, Kate can pull off a smart hat. I don’t find this one all that attractive, though. It looks like a giant satellite dish stapled to her head.

By the way, at that ARK charity gala that Kate and Will attended Thursday night, Kate was overheard telling guests that she was enjoying married like. A source revealed: “Kate said she was ‘loving it’ when asked what married life was like. She added that it was surreal sometimes but that’s to be expected. She said she was totally and blissfully happy and her eyes lit up whenever William’s name was mentioned. The pair are clearly so in love.”
