IN-LAW IN-JOKE

While preparing to take on more solo royal engagements, Kate shared a laugh with the Queen – and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall – during a March 1 appearance at a tea party marking the regeneration of London's Piccadilly neighborhood. The Queen, who did not share the same bond with William's mother, Princess Diana, has reportedly said she sees "immense potential" in Kate, according to the Daily Mail.
