"  Kate Middleton attended an event at the National Maritime Museum in London this morning, promoting efforts to find, and fund, a team of British sailors prepared to take part in the America&amp;#039;s Cup competition \u2014 and, ideally, win the trophy back. (Despite being a competition introduced by Queen Victoria over 150 years ago, Great Britain has never been victorious in the sailing race.) If you&amp;#039;re wondering why this is such a campaign all of a sudden, it&amp;#039;s because KMid wants to use the Cup as a gravy boat:  At the museum, a little girl in a cute red and white striped dress was supposed to give Kate some flowers, but she decided she&amp;#039;d rather nap on her father&amp;#039;s shoulder (pictured above) because she just couldn&amp;#039;t be bothered. And really, KMid did phone in her appearance, in a simple white Jaeger dress with black panels on the shoulders and waistline. It&amp;#039;s a nautical-themed event; the least Kate could have done is wear a sailor&amp;#039;s cap and/or some stripes. She loves a good Breton stripe! Even the weather was unimpressed, leading to this awkward photo:  In the interest of fairness, I should note there are also more than 20 photos of KMid&amp;#039;s hair billowing just perfectly in the breeze. But we&amp;#039;ve seen that before. Besides, at least now if Kate and Taylor Swift were friends, they could tweet each other about swallowing their own hair. (But they&amp;#039;re not friends, because of that one time T-Swift totally tried to flirt with Prince William, a stunt Kate will never forget). Also, in more interesting KMid news, someone made her out of Legos:  This is part of a new Lego sculpture at LEGOLAND, featuring members of the royal family at Buckingham Palace. On the palace balcony, left to right, is Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, Queen Elizabeth, and KMid. Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, Zara Tindall, and Kate&amp;#039;s mom Carole Middleton are also featured. A royal milliner specially made all their hats, by the way.  Follow Alex on  Twitter.
