Without a doubt, a day in the life of Kate Middleton is more exciting than, say, the life of any of the rest of us. But! On occasion, some of those stuffy royal events the duchess is attending look, well, super boring. And once in a while Kate just can't hide her ennui. It's true! But honestly, can we blame her? Not at all. She may be a royal, but she's still human, after all ...

We understand, Kate. We know it must get boring sometimes. It's OK.

Trooping the Color ... Yawn!

Apparently when folks are royal, they can get glassy-eyed while sitting in a horse-drawn carriage in front of throngs of cheering fans. It's all relative.
