I think I heard LC say thanks.

They really are a perfect looking family!

They do look good. But they need to get that boy out of that dress!

Saw this in the CNN newsfeed this morning. It's kind of a cool thing that Prince Harry is doing.



Walking With the Wounded is a charity that assists wounded war veterans.

Prince Harry --a member of Britain's armed forces, having served in Afghanistan and elsewhere -- has had a long association with this charity.

In several ways, he's been preparing for this latest mission for a long time. That includes taking part in a Walking With The Wounded expedition to the North Pole -- even plunging into the Arctic Ocean's freezing waters -- in 2011 before withdrawing to attend his brother William's wedding. More recently, he traveled to Iceland for training and even spent 24 hours in an industrial freezer in preparation for the South Pole race.

The three teams of seven participants each represent the United Kingdom, United States and the Commonwealth, which consists of several countries long affiliated with the British empire.

The plan was to trek more than 200 miles (322 kilometers) across the sparse continent, in temperatures as low as -35 degrees Celsius (-31 Fahrenheit).

While the competition was halted due to safety concerns related to terrain, the excursion is still underway.

I would do more for charity if my role in life was being spoonfed from birth with millions of pounds of taxpayers money.

Isn't there some kind of royal rule that one doesn't touch royalty? I ask because LeBron James was all over Kate at a game last night.

I was bored so I did some Googling...

I found this story about the queen, but nothing for the rest of the family.

I also found this story about specific rules for Kate-though I think she's broken most of them.

The Monopoly rule cracks me up.

Hope she gets her moms facial features!

I've never had much interest in the royals. I don't know why.

My mom does though. She told me the baby's name is Charlotte Elizabeth Diana. Pretty.

I like Charlotte.

Hope they don't call her 'Char'.

My mom and grandmother were very much 'into' the Royals and British history in general, so a lot has rubbed off on me through the years.

Named for Grandpa Charles, Great Grandma and Grandma
