Wills, Kate and Harry Attend Opening Olympic Ceremony 2012.

Kate Middleton wasn't on the ground at Olympic Stadium last night with the 10,000 athletes and thousands more volunteers, but she was there, watching all of the lights and fireworks and action with the rest of the royal family.

The Duchess watched with a giant smile on her face as the ceremony unfolded. She and Prince William, along with her brother-in-law Prince Harry and the rest of her husband's family, were shown many times during the telecast. Only the Queen was lucky enough to actually be featured in the ceremony. The matriarch was shown in a filmed bit with Daniel Craig!

The Duchess of Cambridge had a brief encounter with First Lad Michelle Obama who looked dazzling in an outfit by American designer J. Mendel. As the case may be for this occasion, Kate should seek fashion advice from Michelle who is also considered a style icon.

Many were eager to see what The Duchess of Cambridge would be wearing at the opening ceremony for the London Olympics 2012. But when Kate Middleton finally stepped out in an ice blue Christopher Kane dress, there were a lot of applause.

Royal trio William, Kate and Harry visit Olympic Athletes.

LONDON, ENGLAND - JULY 31: Kate Middleton, hubby Prince William and brother Harry visit to the accommodation for British athletes in the Athletes Village at Olympic Park in Stratford and then watche the Show Jumping Equestrian event on Day 4 of the London 2012 Olympic Games at Greenwich Park on July 31, 2012.

Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, also talked to Rebecca Adlington and the other athletes.

As if Olympians didn't already feel like winners. They got a triple dose of the royal treatment yesterday, when Team GB's foremost cheerleaders, Prince William, Kate Middleton and Prince Harry, descended into Olympic Village and met with members of the England squad.

The trio casually strolled into the atheles' village, with Wills going for sporty-chic in a kicky red Olympics hat and his official Team GB white polo, and Kate still in the striped-shirt-and-blazer attire she wore while cheering on royal cousin Zara Phillips to her silver medal win.

 

 

The duke and duchess met with Team GB cyclist Victoria Pendleton and greeted a whole slew of other athletes who were on the grounds. And those who weren't so lucky? They had gathered on their balconies overlooking where the trio were, waving to and cheering on the royals as they passed through the compound in London's East End.

Meanwhile, the royal rounds continued today, as Will and Harry served as spectators for the rowing event, turning up to their old school grounds, Eton's Dorney Lake, to watch the British women claim England's first gold of the games.

During the surprise visit, Harry also met with members of the Australian team and walked away with a stuffed kangaroo. Make that a stuffed kangaroo sporting boxing gloves. They also ventured inside, with Will and Harry touring the quarters of the women's handball players and engaging in the adorably obligatory brotherly ribbing over who knew less about the sport. (Advantage: Harry.)
