Yesterday we saw a few photos of the annual Trooping of the Colour celebration which took place in London, England in honor of Queen Elizabeth II‘s 84th birthday and today we get to see photos from a different Royal celebratory event in honor of The Most Noble Order of the Garter. As I understand it, The Most Noble Order of the Garter is a pretty big deal in the United Kingdom, as is evident by the fancy dress worn by Queen Elizabeth and her grandson Prince William:
I have absolutely no idea what is going on but I believe this event goes all the way back to the 1300s. Fancy schmancy. But you may have noticed that young Prince Harry is not featured in these photos or the photos we saw yesterday … that’s because he is on an official visit to Botswana right now. Still, Harry found the time to do a little celebrating of his Queen grandmother’s official birthday. After the jump, check out photos of Harry in Botswana …
Aww … it’s a shame that Harry didn’t get to partake in all of the fancy dress-up fun … still, it looks like he had a fun time nonetheless at this garden party at the British High Commission residence in Gaboron, Botswana. It really looks like the Royal Family knows how to have a good time, don’t it?

I am so nasty…that bottom left picture of Harry…I imagined looking at up at him and him giving me the “O” face…WOW, that was magical!
This honour (Order of the Garter) is the highest honour you can get in the honours system, and you can only have 24 living people with it (i.e the only time you can give the honour to someone else is if a current member dies)
^wow…that was vauge, but yeah, it’s a big f***in deal as Biden would say
Harry Potter!
