Prince Charles is starting to look a bit brighter in his dress!
The Prince of Wales returns to royal duties after Covid diagnosis | Daily Mail Online
The Duchess of Cambridge was officially welcomed to Denmark by Queen Margarethe II this morning as she embarked on the second day of her whirlwind two-day solo visit to Denmark to promote her work in early childhood development. Later today she will meet with Australian-born Crown Princess Mary, 49, and visit one of the royal's projects.
Kate later spent the morning at a Danish kindergarten forest school.
Like Kate, the Danish royal, 50, wasn't born into royal life. Crown Princess Mary was raised as Mary Elizabeth Donaldson and came from a very different place to her husband, Crown Prince Frederik; in Tasmania, Australia.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were joined by their eldest son Prince George when attending England's Six Nations match against Wales this evening. The eight-year-old appeared in great spirits as he stood in the stands alongside his parents, dressed in a red and navy jacket, while his mother Kate, 40, oozed elegance in a houndstooth £449 Knightsbridge Coat from Holland Cooper, and his father Prince William, 39, appeared dapper in a red tie and black jumper combo. Today's match at Twickenham Stadium will be the first Kate has attended since becoming patron of Rugby Football Union (RFU) after she took over the role from her brother-in-law Prince Harry, who used to enjoy cheering on England before he was forced to give up the patronage as part of the Megxit agreement. Prince William, who has been patron of the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) since 2016, and Kate are known for their rivalry during sporting engagements, with the duchess, who grew up watching rugby with her family, having gamely taken on her husband in everything from dragon boating to wind buggy racing. Their appearance comes after they today tweeted their support for Ukraine in a rare political comment - insisting they 'stand' with the people of the war-torn nation, who 'bravely fight' for their future.
Yes RnR Kate is in the thick of it with her boys! LOL
Did you notice the news a few days ago about Kate in the Rugby fields?
The Prince of Wales (pictured right) will formally present the legal document which entitles the change of status, the Letters Patent, to Southend's mayor, Margaret Borton, at a council meeting on Tuesday (Pictured main: Workers put up a sign reading 'Welcome to the City of Southend-on-Sea' ahead of royal visit). Charles will present the documents on behalf of the Queen and will be joined by his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall. Sir David (pictured inset right), who had served as Conservative MP for Southend West since 1997, was killed during a constituency surgery at Belfairs Methodist Church in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, on October 15. The 69-year-old had campaigned tirelessly to make Southend (pictured inset left) a city. Mayor Mrs Borton said on Tuesday: 'Formally receiving city status from His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales will be a special moment for Southend-on-Sea, and we are hugely honoured to receive a royal visit from Their Royal Highnesses on what is sure to be a momentous day for our new city.'
A never before seen portrait of the Princes of Wales will go on display at Kensington Palace as part of a royal photography exhibition tomorrow
ROBERT HARDMAN: Even for a Nobel Prize-winning leader of the free world, this had been one of the great nights of his life. Back in his suite at Buckingham Palace, Barack Obama simply wanted to savour the moment. He had just been honoured with a state banquet given by Queen Elizabeth II. It wasn't the Midas-like display of George IV's gold and silver tableware collection or the quality of the delicious Échézeaux Grand Cru 1990 Romanée-Conti which had made this such an exceptional occasion. It was the rapport he had formed with a host who could talk with such authority about so many of his predecessors. Obama had been enjoying himself so much that the Queen had eventually taken the Chancellor of the Exchequer to one side to ask if he might, very discreetly, let the U.S. President know that it was bedtime. 'I just said: "Yes, Ma'am",' George Osborne recalls. 'I could see Obama with a drink in hand, and I was thinking: What do I do? I couldn't just interrupt and say: "Oh, the Queen wants you to go to bed".' Fortunately, he was saved by the Queen's private secretary, who gently nudged proceedings to a close. Still buzzing, the President summoned his two closest aides, including senior speechwriter Ben Rhodes, for a modest after-party in the Belgian Suite, where the Queen accommodates her state visitors.
Queen Elizabeth has hosted her first in-person event since catching COVID-19, meeting with Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at Windsor Castle.
The monarch, 95, didn't use her walking stick for the engagement inside the Oak Room and appeared in fine form, smiling throughout.
Her Majesty made a show of support to the people of Ukraine with a large display of blue and yellow flowers featuring prominently on the table between the pair.

Trudeau said the Queen was "insightful" as ever when he met her on Monday, adding that she was very interested in what was going on with regard to Russia.
"I can tell you in my conversation with her this morning she was as insightful and perspicacious as ever, very interested in what's going on," he told a news conference in London.
"I was able to talk about the situations we are facing and draw on her long experience from having seen so much over these past decades."
Canada's PM is in Britain for talks on the war in Ukraine with Boris Johnson and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte.
Last week it emerged the Queen had made a "generous donation" to support people fleeing the conflict in Ukraine.
Members of her family — lead by Prince Charles — have spoken publicly in condemnation of the war in recent weeks.
"I must say my wife and I have been deeply moved by everything we have heard today during our visit and above all by the extraordinary bravery, generosity and fortitude of the Ukrainian community in the face of such truly terrible aggression," the Prince of Wales said during a visit to the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral in London last week.
ROBERT HARDMAN: The Queen's temperament, calmness in crisis and sense of humour have helped her endure for so many decades in her role as head of state. Megxit, the implosion of Prince Andrew, even the death of Prince Philip have failed to stop the Queen carrying on much as she has always done - because she genuinely enjoys her role and has the correct disposition for it. Among those who have worked with (or for) her, it is the Queen's quiet but steely determination which stands out. 'She has a duty to something greater than herself. It's timeless,' says former U.S. president George W. Bush, who revealed that Her Majesty once asked 'Are you the black sheep [of the family]' at a lunch when his father was in the White House in 1991.
Bet that was fun for her!

The Duke of Cambridge, 39, arrived alongside his six-year-old daughter at Il Pagliaccio in Fulham last Sunday, walking through the restaurant before shaking hands with the owner.
Princess Märtha Louise of Norway shared the image to her Instagram page yesterday, with Durek posing with the royal and her three children, Maud Angelica, 18, Leah Isadora, 16, and Emma Tallulah, 13 (left). The Shaman was quick to share a gushing comment on the post, writing: 'I love our family.' (inset). Märtha Louise, the only daughter and elder child of King Harald V and Queen Sonja was married to Ari Behn. Ari took his own life on Christmas Day in 2019 (right).
