Kate's 'Trudeau face' was internet gold during the royal visit.

Vancouver photographer Andrew Chin snapped the shot above of Prince William's wife, Kate, looking coy while on the royal couple's visit to B.C. this week. It almost didn't make the cut when he was submitting his day's work, but he said he thought it was "cute" and sent it to Getty Images despite being "technically imperfect." Some 95,000 people on Facebook are surely glad he did.

U.S. Congress overturned a presidential veto but quickly regretted it.

Democrats joined with Republicans Wednesday to hand Barack Obama the first veto override of his presidency, voting overwhelmingly to allow families of 9-11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia in U.S. courts for its alleged backing of the attackers. But even as the vote was going on, 28 senators raised the alarm over "unintended consequences" of the "hastily drafted" bill. Here's Obama boarding Air Force One in Virginia on the day of the vote.
