Prince William and Duchess Kate visit Pakistan

Not content to take a backseat to his brother after Prince Harry’s own successful trip to South Africa, Prince William set off on his own royal tour of Pakistan in October with Duchess Kate in tow. The visit was a sortorial success from every angle: Kate wowed with her modest but modern wardrobe and Wills stuffed his usual suit and tie get-up to the back of the wardrobe and opted for a traditional Pakistani sherwani in a bold green shade.

Princess Anne goes viral
custom

The Queen’s only daughter, Princess Anne, set social media on fire during a routine gathering at Buckingham Palace for NATO leaders in December. She was caught on video apparently shrugging off her mum when asked to come say hello to visiting US President Donald Trump. Many interpreted it as her refusal to acknowledge Trump. Even funnier was the Queen Elizabeth’s stink eye throw her daughter’s way after the shrug. LOL!
