Welcome to the Dead Zone! The week when almost all our royal friends and frenemies are off LIVING on an island somewhere/in a drafty Scottish castle while we sit at this desk and wait for the weekend to start. Mid-August is well-know to be Silly Season for royals reporters, and frankly, I'm surprised no one has reported anything overtly crazy this week (beyond Samantha Markle claiming that Thomas Markle is starting a mens' clothing line, which is surely a bald-faced lie). The good news is, AT LEAST two people left their homes for us.

Elsewhere of potential interest:

Harry and Meghan are undertaking their first royal tour in October -- mark your calendars! They're in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, and the Kingdom of Tonga from the 20-27th -- and [Elle has logistical deets about where they might stay](https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/a22707878/meghan-markle-prince-harry-first-royal-tour-villa-del-mare-sydney/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). You know I love logistics!

Speaking of! On social media:

I love this dress:

I have no idea what's happening here, but it's vaguely sexy:
