  1. This looks like it was such a fun day! Cooking and rowing and a nice garden party in the afternoon- what’s not to like! The Duchess looked very nice, too. That yellow dress suits her perfectly and the evening sheath looked very comfortable. Even Prince William was wearing a tan jacket! Everyone looked like they were having a good time. Lots of smiles about, which is a sure sign this trip is turning out to be a success!
