Royals Round-Up, February 2nd, 2018

Camilla

IT ME. This is, for those of you who come to me for INFORMATION, "Arkell's Bee's Organic Ale," which Cam is drinking on a tour of their brewery in Swindon. They've been making ale for 175 years, which is conveniently just as long as this week has felt.

This is the "Charles I: King and Collector" exhibition (Our Charles is viewing it with curator Desmond Shawe-Taylor.) I assume he's noting which paintings of this Charles are more pleasing to the NEXT Charles. (Himself.)

At this event, Informative Caption tells me, Camz "will visit the Royal Academy of Dance to meet students and staff and learn about the Silver Swans programme, an initiative which delivers ballet classes specially designed for over 55s." The Silver Swans are not, as you may have guessed, pictured here.

"Yes, friends. I TOO can work a cape." (Don't worry, the Queen was at church as well, and looked very spry; I just didn't have any pics where she wasn't slightly obscured by a car door, or a bush.)

Amanda Cook Tucker and Natasha Archer and all of Kate's STUFF. (Natasha is PA/Stylist/Married to Chris Jackson, Getty's Royals Photog, and the one thing I really miss now that we don't use Getty anymore; Amanda is the Master of The Hair.) I love seeing all these BAGS. In another photo, Natasha was lugging a hat box.

"You didn't bring the pen? I certainly don't have a pen." Informative Caption tells me that Edward and Sophie are -- who knew?! -- "on a four-day visit to Sri Lanka to participate as special guests at the 70th Independence Day celebrations of Sri Lanka on 04 February." Well, that should be interesting! I'll bring you pics if we get them.

Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank

This is a cute coat on Euj!

Princess Beatrice

And an excellent one on Bea, who is now sort of the Prince Harry Third Wheel in this situation. (Which is not always a bad thing. I've been the Third Wheel many a time.)

Queen Letizia and Princesses Leonor and Sofia

This is a VERY Informative Caption: "The Spanish royal family attend a meeting with the youth of Spain after of the Imposition of the Necklace of the Order of the Golden Toison to the Princess of Asturias, Leonor." I must turn to Wikipedia! The Order of the Golden Toison is also known as The Order of the Golden Fleece, and it's VERY interesting. "The Order of the Golden Fleece... is a Roman Catholic order of chivalry founded in Bruges by the Burgundian duke Philip the Good in 1430, to celebrate his marriage to the Portuguese princess Isabella." It seems sort of like the Spanish equivalent of the Order of the Garter? But a famous dwarf perfomed at the first ceremony, and there was a SCANDALE when they tried to give it to Napoleon. (In fact, it seems like Napoleon then was denied because people got all huffy and THEN they gave it to Wellington, which must have really stuck in Napoleon's craw.)

I might need to know more about her shoes.

Working visit to the Babyhuis

This is A LOOK.

Working visit to the Babyhuis

And this is a CUTE LITTLE NOODLE! Babyhuis is, as far as I can tell, and this is using Google Translate, but it seems to make sense: "The Babyhuis is a non-profit organization in Dordrecht that provides care, care and guidance to (expectant) mothers, and babies for whom parents can temporarily not provide care. In addition, the Babyhuis offers living space and guidance to highly pregnant and women [who have recently given birth]." That seems like a very good cause

Queen Maxima and King Willem Alexander

This is A LOT of look. I would expect nothing less.
