WHY ISN'T LIFE ALWAYS LIKE THIS?!" ## Maxima and W-A ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/04/469827308_master.jpg) Let's turn to Informative Caption. This is "a Gala Dinner at Christiansborg Palace on the eve of The 75th Birthday of Queen Margrethe of Denmark," and royals CAME OUT. Maxima, of course, looks MAXIMAL in so much fringe. ## Queen Mathilde and King Phillipe ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/04/469827334_master.jpg) I feel like Mathilde's face just says, "holy shit you guys my knee hurts why didn't I just let Phil wheel me in??? Also, is this too much pink?" ## Princess Marie of Denmark and Prince Joachim ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/04/469827352_master.jpg) I appreciate that this is a Full Tiara Event. ## Prince Joachim of Denmark and Princess Marie ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/04/469920092_master.jpg) This was the next day, after lunch festivities for Queen Margrethe's b-day. I am not sure if I'd wear a broach if I knew I'd ALSO be wearing some kind of...ceremonial pin item. But I am not invited to these things. ## Felipe and Letizia ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/04/469827354_master.jpg) I believe this is a new tiara on Letizia -- I'm linking to a piece about the jewels on this event below -- and I LOVE this dress on her. ## Felipe and Letizia ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/04/469296018_master.jpg) This is not particularly riveting BUT I love this cut on her and everyone needs a good LBD. ## Queen Margrethe II Of Denmark ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/04/469848446_master.jpg) ALL of Queen M's pictures from her birthday delight me. She is having THE BEST birthday... ## Queen Margrethe II Of Denmark ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/04/469887166_master.jpg) "Hi Denmark! IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!" (I also love her red lip.) ## Queen Margrethe II ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/04/469934016_master.jpg) "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!" I think all of us, when we reach 75, should get to go out on a balcony and flings our arms about with joy. I LOVE this. ## Queen Silvia of Sweden ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/04/469949656_master.jpg) Queen Silvia here just made me think, "Why don't I have a purple cape???" It's a salient question. Additionally, did you know the following bit of trivia, per the Collection of Delicious Royal Tidbits that is Wikipedia? "In celebration of the forthcoming wedding of the King and the soon-to-be-Queen, Silvia, the internationally famous pop group ABBA performed the song Dancing Queen on Swedish television the night before the ceremony, although the song was not actually written for Queen Silvia." TECHNICALITIES. ## Crown Princess Mette-Marit and Crown Princess Victoria ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/04/469949622_master.jpg) I assume these two planned their matching outfits the night before. ## King Harald V of Norway with Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/04/469893830_master.jpg) M-M's hair has NEVER looked better than it does her. (Also, she is totally thinking, "he is so dreamy.") ## CPM and CPF ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/04/469954042_master.jpg) You may be surprised to hear this, but I actually LOVE this on CMP. It's so slinky and METALLIC. ## Crown Princess Mary and Crown Prince Frederik ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/04/469827356_master.jpg) I even prefer it to this one, although this tiara is delightful. ## Crown Princess Mary ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/04/469949666_master.jpg) And you all know I LOVE this coat. ## The Crown Prince Family ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/04/469950924_master.jpg) Princess Josephine continues to be a scream. PLEASE DON'T PITCH YOURSELF OFF THE BALCONY, JO. [Royals Round-Up, April 17th, 2015TIARAS! BALCONIES! WAVING! Elsewhere around the internet: I am not above reminding you that our new royals-centric novel, The Royal We, is out and about and available and just waiting for you to read it! We were a People's pick last week! iBooks just called us irreverent, hilarious, and charming and named us one of their books of the week! All ebook versions are currently on sale for $9.99! Exclamation points! (And if you're not the US or Canada, our friends at the Book Depository, which ships free internationally, are back in stock.) Over at The Duchess Diary: The Court Jeweller Shares Her Favorite Royal Tiaras. These are all things that I love! The Court Jeweller is ALL OVER the jewels of Queen Margrethe's birthday. And Order of Splendor has great, comprehensive coverage, including pics I didn't have available to us. We wrote a piece for Cosmo enumerating the 25 things we'd have missed most if Harry didn't exist. Here's to The Spare! Per The Mirror, it appears the staff at Windsor Castle is going on strike. This is amazing. This week, Kate and Wills are (possibly) going to have Baby #2\. Eight years ago this very week, all the tabloids were full of stories about their break-up. Also, holy cannoli but William looks hot in that picture of him graduating from flight school. You just never know, you guys. (From Berkshire to Buckingham) I love that People has a feature about Kate's favorite local pub. (And that it's called The Old Boot. I assume that's how she refers to Princess Anne in private. I KID. Anne would have her tarred and feathered.) Kate recently told a very cute story about George going to look for Wills in the china cabinet (while William was in China, not because he, like, regularly holes up there or whatever.) (The Daily Beast) Princess Charlene had a week of engagements and she seems very happy to be out of the house.
