I know this is hours late and we've moved on to Paris, but I had to say that I laughed out loud at the shade the KP twitter account was throwing this morning with this series of tweets:

I'm not seeing any shade- just a bunch of historical images related to today. What are you seeing?
Me too. Not shade per se, but more "hey guys, let's show some facts"I saw, in leading off with George V and including Edward, a response to the hysteria last year about "a hundred years of tradition" of Royal women handing out the shamrocks being carelessly tossed out the window by Catherine.
My first thought was "At least this event being embargoed and non-photographed cannot have any complainers"!Peter Hunt @BBCPeterHunt
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited the MI6 HQ this morning .

The couple's appointment was a private one, and followed the tradition of the royal family supporting the country's security services. Kensington Palace released a statement to HELLO! Online, confirming: "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited the Headquarters of the Secret Intelligence Services at Vauxhall Cross, London, on Wednesday 28th June 2017."
They added: "The royal family has a long history of supporting the security services and this visit was in that tradition. The visit was the Duke and the Duchess's second visit to the Headquarters of the Secret Intelligence Service. (They previously visited in 2012)." Little more is known about the top-secret visit, and William and Kate were not pictured arriving or leaving the central London headquarters.
In October and November, Prince Harry and The Duke and Duchess will undertake official visits on behalf of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Details of both visits will be announced later.
I think they (W&K) have an evening event this Friday ...maybe we will see something new from Kate.

THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE WILL ATTEND THE ROYAL VARIETY PERFORMANCE
Palladium Theatre, London
Friday 24th November 2017
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will attend the Royal Variety Performance at the Palladium Theatre in London on Friday 24th November.
The Royal Variety Performance takes place every year, either in London or in a theatre around the United Kingdom. The event is in aid of the Royal Variety Charity, formally, the Entertainment Artistes’ Benevolent Fund, of which the Queen is patron. The money raised from the show helps hundreds of entertainers throughout the UK, who need help and assistance as a result of old age, ill-health, or hard times.
The evening will be hosted by Miranda Hart and will include performances from the Killers, Paloma Faith, Louis Tomlinson and the Script.
The origins of the Royal Variety Performance date back to 1912 when King George V and Queen Mary agreed to attend a 'Royal Command Performance' at the Palace Theatre in London, in aid of the Variety Artistes' Benevolent Fund.
In July 1919, the second royal show was performed and was the first to be billed a "Royal Variety Performance". Held at London's Coliseum, the show was staged as a 'celebration of peace' and, as the official announcement expressed it, "had been commanded by The King to show his appreciation of the generous manner in which artistes of the variety stage had helped the numerous funds connected with the War".
On the night, Their Royal Highnesses will meet a number of performers as well as Royal Variety Charity and ITV executives, both before and after the show.
Yeah we are all getting shortchanged on tiaras...they wear them maybe 3 or 4 times a year if we are lucky!
What must Queen Mary being thinking!!
