Um. Harry hauling wood in a tee shirt to build houses for people makes me...feel things. This edition of Royals Round-Up has *a lot* of forearms.

Also here at GFY, in case you missed it, [Wills & Kate hosted a cocktail reception at Kensington Palace ahead of their trip to India and Bhutan](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/royally-played-wills-and-kate-india-reception-04-2016/), which kicks off on Sunday and which promises to be very photogenic.

And elsewhere of interest:

\-- This is [ a really great piece in *The Guardian* about the way the Queen dresses,](https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/apr/03/queen-fashion-statements-public-women?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) tied to a new exhibit of her clothing through the years (which, actually, I think Heather and I will get to see when we're in Scotland this month, so expect a full report!).

\-- In *The Telegraph*,[ they're also revamping bits of Windsor Castle in the upcoming year. ](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/04/04/queen-approves-27m-windsor-castle-revamp-as-90th-birthday-approa/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)We're also going to be THERE this month, but nothing will have happened yet. We'll make mental notes. They appear to be putting in a cafe in this room that they discovered after the fire, that we got to see when we were there researching *The Royal We.* Always good to be able to sell people crisps on site.

\-- Norway's royals -- who are in this week's slideshow! -- [are in a bit of hot water over their spending habits. ](https://factuallyroyal.com/norwegian-royals-criticized-over-spending-transparency/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)(Factually Royal)

\-- This is fun, at The Court Jeweller:[ Jewel History: Robes and Jewels of Titled American Women (1911)](https://www.thecourtjeweller.com/2016/04/jewel-history-robes-and-jewels-of.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

\-- And this is fascinating, over at Order of Splendor: [There's a goat on this tiara.](https://orderofsplendor.blogspot.com/2016/04/tiara-thursday-queen-geraldines-diamond.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

\-- *People* is prepping for the India and Bhutan tour by telling us [What's Inside Princess Kate's Suitcase for India (and Why It Likely Includes a *Kira*) ](https://www.people.com/people/package/article/0,,20395222%5F20997443,00.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)AND [who all's in their entourage for the trip](https://www.people.com/people/package/article/0,,20395222%5F20997666,00.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). You KNOW I love royal logistics.

\-- BEHOLD this coat:
