Looked like the Duke of Wellington took quite the tumble on the chapel stairs. Hope he's okay!

Whether it was a case of schadenfreude or simple embarrassment, the Queen was unable to hide her giggles as the Duke of Wellington took a tumble on the steps of St George's Chapel today.

The Queen laughed at his misfortune.

I can hardly believe that she really laughed about him - he's
94 and it's embarrassing for him, so I could imagine that it's
been a more automatical smile..


Here's a nice pic of Sophie, Countess of Wessex

EEK! What's with the funky hats?

If you mean the hats worn by the people in robes, that would be tradition.

Colin Firth as George R VI in Garter Star and Sash

At this link is a great photo of Firth in uniform wearing the Garter Star and sash (as was correct then, a lighter blue than today's Garter Sash) and many other medals/decorations. According to the article, the filmmakers went to great lengths to be sure the uniform was correct in every way.

Lots more pictures in the GettyImages gallery. Catherine looks lovely, as does Sophie (and she's smiling, unlike yesterday.)

 

[QueenRachel]

awww Catherine looks gorgeous...but wasn't she in the same carriage with William? I can see just Camilla with her

 

[Lumutqueen]

The members of the Garter arrive separately to guests I believe.

Yes, everyone looks great
I can't wait to see more pictures and some videos too
And about Sophie ,I think maybe the yesterday's weather (raining...) have a influence on her mood IMO

I imagine William was beside her as you can see Camilla is opposite. (I am guessing this because Sophie was beside Edward.) I am sure we'll see an image of them side by side at some point.

Perhaps!

 

[soapstar]

William and Charles were in the same carriage as Camilla and Kate.

 

[QueenRachel]

you're right..here they are yfrog Fullsize - http://yfrog.com/h4fdznoj

 

[muriel]

Camilla looks lovely as well - she has recyled a coat dress she first wore at Ascot (in 2006 or 2007?) and then again at the ToC the following year.

 

[soapstar]

Thanks for the photo, QueenRachel.

I really like Camilla's hat.

 

[Lumutqueen]

Camilla looks lovely as wwell - she has recyled the hat she wore at her wedding to Charles, and also at the Trooping on Saturday.

Different hat

Kate looks very excited in the pictures. Not sure about Camilla's yellow coat. Was Prince Harry also there?

 

[soapstar]

No, Prince Harry didn't attend.

 

[Molly2101]

I love seeing the family chat with one another, especially if they are seen laughing. Always fun to see. I like Catherine's satorial choice today, Camilla's however...it suits her, as does the hat, but I am not sure on the colour.

I wish we had a fullshot of Sophie's outfit. I love her fascinator, even if it is a repeart of 2009's Garter Service.

The Duchess of Cambridge was all smiles today as she took part in the Garter Day celebrations.

Despite her heavy schedule of late, Catherine remained bright and fresh-faced as she showed off her third hat in as many days.

Waving from a carriage at Windsor Castle, the radiant newlywed wore a Philip Treacy head piece, matched with a light blue-grey dress and matching coat.

I echo the sentiments that Andrew has looked a bit glum as of late.

I agree...he's up there in years and my first reaction would have been one of concern...but maybe HM was simply embarrassed and that's where the laugh was coming from.

He looked really confused. Poor old fellow.

I love, LOVE the DoC's entire outfit and look...STUNNING.
