Word of Mouth
Aside from watching 5 straight hours of gymnastics and obsessively checking the Olympic Medal Count (U-S-A! U-S-A!) on our phone every 40 minutes, our favorite part about the Olympics is parsing through photos on the Internet of all the royalty that attend the games.  It's like the Royal Wedding all over again!  Like Mr. Mickey, we're pretty fascinated by these blue bloods and even more so when they're not wearing sashes and medals and crowns and are in jeans and polo shirts instead.  When we recently stumbled upon this cuckoo photo of Queen Silvia and King Carl Gustaf of Sweden (below), we became inspired to find more like it -- sort of a "Royals: They're Just Like Us!" moment (eg. jumping up and down when someone scores, trying to -- and failing at -- The Wave, tinkering with binoculars, and enjoying a diet beverage).  The result?  Our 15 favorite photos of royals looking like dorks at the Olympics.
