Prince William and Kate Middleton are in Malaysia for three days as part of the diamond jubilee tour. I first read they were coming in Vanity Fair (which has a great article on Kate BTW -- go get it) and have been scouring the web trying to figure out when they would have a public greeting. So much of their time is taken up with private teas and visits to charities and such.
So once I found out they would be at KLCC at 10am today I rearranged my schedule so I could get their early (with the boys at school). I had to cancel the second day of my teaching the Burmese refugees (man I feel so bad! but I promised them I would spend extra time with them next week). Hello when else do you get to see the future king and queen of England! Surely they will understand (?)
So I met this British guy while I was waiting and it turned out he was the head of security so he told me just where to wait to get the best view. He also said the key to gettting to shake their hand is not to have a camera in their face. So when they come close, put your camera down, and cheer and put your hand out.
You can tell these photos are too close they are so blurry. Right after this I put my camera down and he shook my hand. He is seriously so handsome in real life. And I know the tabloids make such a big deal about his balding spot but in real life it is really not a big deal--you don't really notice it.
Prince William is cute but my husband is way cuter...
So then Kate came along and I was just about dying. She is just so elegant in real life, plus it was cool to see her with her hair up as she almost always wears it down. It was a smart choice since it was hot out.
She was wearing a gorgeous white dress with sheer sleeves. I love her style because she is all about being gorgeous while being modest and not flaunting skin everywhere like most celebrities. I have already told Mike that I want her wardrobe
I was practically in tears when I shook her hand which was kind of embarrassing. Then last, they drove off to a private lunch and I was left standing there surrounded by a bunch of sweaty Malaysians but seriously in awe.
Bye Kate and William!
