Summer Is Just Getting Started, but For the Royal Family, It's Already Lit

Just as we pass the halfway point in 2016, it's time to take stock. In the context of the royal family, this year has been really remarkable. From last month's family affair at Trooping the Colour to Kate and Will's monumental tour through India and Bhutan in April, it's hard not to live vicariously through the British royals. But even if you just take a small slice of their year, it's clear the family is having picture-perfect moments on the regular — it's practically day to day. To prove our point, we're recapping the royal family's best pictures from their Summer.
