King Phil and Queen Til have arrived in Potsdam, Germany, for the annual Germany-speaking states diplomatic catch up and potluck supper. I'm not sure what Til has done to her hand but she's been wearing that wrist guard for the last week

Does Germany only allow those type of masks?  It feels weird not seeing her in a matching one!

[fairy]

Yes! No community masks only surgical or better yet FFP2 masks.

Yes! No community masks only surgical or better yet FFP2 masks.

Thank you!  I assume that's the case in Spain as well?

I saw that the palace commented last week that she “made a wrong move and hurt herself” but it wasn’t serious.

Looks like a thumb sprain. Been there….

Is her dress a variation on the flag of Germany? I love it! I would not ordinarily like a dress with a huge rick rack in the middle, but this is a statement of some sort and looks great.

It's really summery! No doubt if regs are different, there would have been some excellent, rick rack-trimmed mask matching

That’s my idea of an outfit to wear to be sworn in.  With coordinating mask as a certain nod to GQT.

Good King Phil visited the nature reserve at Vogelzang

I love him, but what an odd mash-up of patterns & colors in this outfit!

Looking amazing in bright yellow, Good Queen Til gave the opening speech at a high level UN/UNICEF/WHO/IRC event about the impact of violence on child mental health

We need to create environments where children in need are safe, where they know to whom they can turn for protection, and where they can easily access proper counselling and care. But we also need to invest heavily in their mental wellbeing, and in the prevention of all forms of violence and their dramatic consequences for children. We need to work with families, schools, communities, institutions, media, and the justice system. Under no circumstances can we justify or condone any form of violence by adults. Adults should, by definition, be the prime protectors and caregivers. We need to change the mindset.
