Will She or Won't She?

 I am talking about Catherine and Trooping the Color. It's barely over a week away and will she/won't she decision is leaning toward not in public media.

Well that was not exactly a Quiet Interlude

 Seriously.  It was not. Sudden trips, surprise awards, a cooking event, not much forward momentum in rebranding while elsewhere was profound loss, missed scheduled events and a few more warning shots over the bow about "truth" and be careful what you push for.
