Sophie Wessex

I LOVE this hat on Sophie.

Britain Commemorates The 70th Anniversary Of VJ Day

Sophie looks GREAT. (I presume this outfit doesn't end in hot pants and shower shoes.) As you know, I have a soft spot for events featuring dapper old veterans in their dashing hats. Let's turn to our friend Informative Caption, shall we? "Sophie, Countess of Wessex, meets veteran James Fenton during the 70th Anniversary commemorations of VJ Day (Victory over Japan) at St Martin-in-the-Fields Church... The event marks the 70th anniversary of the surrender of Japanese Forces, bringing about the end of World War II. Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh will join British Prime Minister David Cameron and former prisoners of war during services throughout the day as tributes are made to the the estimated 71,244 British and Commonwealth casualties of the Far East conflict. Japan formally surrendered on September 2, 1945 at a ceremony in Tokyo Bay on USS Missouri."

Camilla.

Per Informative Caption: "Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, dances with Jim Booth, Royal Navy Veteran aged 94 from Taunton, Somerset during the 70th Anniversary commemorations of VJ Day (Victory over Japan) at the Royal British Legion reception in the College Gardens of Westminster Abbey." There is NOTHING Camilla loves more -- or does better, from what I can tell -- than flirting with old dudes, and I have to say, I LOVE this photo. Not for nothing, but Jim Booth appears to still have some moves.

QE2 and Phil

In which Her Majesty appears to be sneakily OPENING HER HANDBAG.

There are some HATS in this picture. I love it.

Crown Prince Haakon

"Hello, everyone. Since literally every other royal dude is currently either on vacation, dealing with rhinos somewhere in Africa, or flying a helicopter, I've been asked to give the keynote speech at this month's meeting of the International Blue Suit Society. Today's discussion with focus on whether or not my tan comes from a bottle."

Royals Round-Up, August 21st 2015
Soon -- SO SOON! -- summer will be over for the royals of the world and Royals Round-Up will once again be fat and happy. This week, though, we've got a special Blue Suit Club appearance from Crown Prince Haakon, and some nice golfing form from Crown Prince Frederik, and a good hat on Sophie Wessex, so all is not yet lost. AND ELSEWHERE: You will enjoy this piece in Maclean's detailing Fun Facts about Queen Elizabeth's reign as she heads toward being the longest-reigning British monarch ever. TAKE THAT, QUEEN VIC. Rumor has it that Kate and Wills are going to be attending a state dinner in October honoring Chinese president Xi Jinping. You know what this means: TIARAS! (Hello!) Speaking of, let's all read about these lost tiaras. (The Court Jeweller) Let's eyeball what Queen Rania and her daughter Iman are up to. (US Weekly) Remember how Netflix is making The Crown, this VERY LONG and EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE series about QE2 and her prime ministers? They've started filming, and I have to say, it looks really good. (Although I was not wild about Claire Foy as Anne Boleyn in Wolf Hall. Here's hoping she nails the Queen. Er, metaphorically speaking.) (The Telegraph) Speaking of movies, Prince Albert hopes they cast Vin Diesel as him in Gary Marshall's new movie about Monaco's Olympic Bobsled Team. I....also kind of hope for that, actually. (People) Wills went to a wedding without Kate this past weekend, and because NOTHING ELSE is happening on the royals front, somehow this is a story. You guys, she probably just had food poisoning. Sometimes people are just barfing. (Vanity Fair) ...and, in fact, then it came out that she was never meant to go in the first place and RSPVed no. I can't wait for actual things to start happening again. Can't someone steal a tiara and go on the lam with her bodyguard? Are you a minor royal dying for major attention? DO SOMETHING NOW. WE NEED CONTENT. THIS IS YOUR MOMENT. (People) The Mirror has all the deets on Harry's upcoming to-dos. FYI, he's coming to Washington DC in October. I fully expect one of you to seduce him and report back, thank you very much. I WANT WEDGES ON THE GROUND, PEOPLE. I assume you want to see Prince Carl Philip in his race car outfit. (Royalista) Royalista also gets into the question of whether or not Crown Prince Vic is secretly pregnant. This is at the Daily Mail (I KNOW), but I promise it's worth a click: Tragedy of the other Prince William: How the dashing but doomed young royal's affair put the Palace in a spin. Tatler's Posh Name Generator is a hoot. I'm Jolly Mountbatten-Oppenheimer! Please, introduce yourselves.
