## Crown Princess Victoria and Crown Princess Mette-Marit

These two are on something called a "Climate Pilgrimage" and I need to talk to Victoria about her pants. If she wants to wear them that length, they need to be skinnier at the ankles. But, basically, with those tennis shoes, that length is awkward as a top hat on a squirrel.

And here, is M-M wearing Keds? I dig flats with day-dresses, but she needs a little intervention here, I think. The dress isn't day ENOUGH for Keds. (Although it's very pretty.)

## King Carl Gustaf, Queen Silvia, Crown Princess Victoria, and Prince Daniel

This is "Radio Sweden's 90th Anniversary Celebrations" and for one long moment, I thought Queen Silvia had pulled her hose OVER her shoes, in the manner of a figure-skater.

## Prince Carl Philip

Prince Carl Philip has a new portrait AND THIS IS IT!

## Queen Maxima

What a delight to be reunited with Queen Maxima and one of her giant, dramatic hats.

And when she leaves them at home, I always imagine Queen Maxima arriving places smoothing her hair down and apologetically saying, "my hair is a MESS." She has very relateable hair. (I also suspect I like this dress. I am assuming it doesn't end in, say, bloomer bottoms.)

## Dutch Princess Felicia, Princess Anastasia, Prince Lucas, Prince Maurits, and Princess Marilene on their yacht

Prince Maurits is W-A's cousin and I am delighted to be given a photo of a Random Royal on a Yacht, because that means I get to look on his Wikipedia to find amusing details about him for you! For example:

a) He was [VERY HANDSOME back in the day.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Prins%5FMaurits%5Fals%5FLTZ3.jpg?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

b) The end.

I did also learn that Princess Marilene works at the Rijksmuseum. NO ONE has, say, accidentally dated the head of a cult, which disappoints me. Make your Wikis more interesting for next time, guys.

## Queen Rania of Jordan

Queen Rania is in Paris and the neckline of her dress is very complicated.

## Prince Albert

Meanwhile, Prince Albert has fallen into a time-traveling wormhole and now lives at the Bejing Olympics. (Fine. It's ALLEGEDLY the IAAF World Athletics Championships Beijing 2015, but I like my story better.)

[Royals Round-Up, August 28th, 2015Boats! Hats! Bottled Water! Medals! Elsewhere: THIS IS FASCINATING, at The Independent: The Princes in the Tower: Will the ultimate cold case finally be solved after more than 500 years? Crown Princess Mary opened a new hospital this week, and looked very nice doing so. (Royalista) At The Daily Beast, did you know that Rayanne Graff of My So-Called Life is now a British countess? It's a very Bex-and-Nick story, too, so I (obviously) approve. King W-A shared a cute pic of his eldest on her way to her first day at school and also asked the press to leave her alone. (I like to think this was a sub-conference at the recent Blue Suits International Meeting for Royals.) Good use of your social media, Max and Wax! (Royalista) PopSugar makes a SHAMELESS PLAY for your eyeballs by putting together a slideshow of Harry and Kate being charming together. I suspect it worked, right? Everyone, Cambridges included, is off to bop around Balmoral a bit during these last days of summer. People has a slideshow of historical pictures thereof. There is one of QE2 and her sons where Prince Andrew looks super handsome and, like, poor Edward has his eyes closed and obviously hates EVERYONE and Chaz isn't even looking at the camera and the Queen seems super peevish. It's great. Pips and Marshmallow are off in St Barts. Pipples has TOTALLY broken up with that handsome bounder Nico Jackson, right? Let's find her someone reasonable to romance. (Us Weekly) Princess Beatrice went to a wedding with her besties Ashton and Mila. (They seriously hang out a lot.) (Hello!) From Berkshire to Buckingham is speculating as to what Kate might wear to October's State Banquet; it's a lot of fun. And What Would Kate Do? wonders what Kate would buy at Banana Republic. Ooh, thank you Tatler: 6 dazzling royal tiaras Love this piece about The Cotes Peridots at The Court Jeweller. Wills wrote a real nice foreword to an upcoming bio of his Granny. (Hello!) At Mashable: I'm 23 and dressed as royal baby Prince George for a week And, finally, Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia are visiting Värmland, which is, per Wiki: "a historical province or landskap in the west of middle Sweden. It borders Västergötland, Dalsland, Dalarna, Västmanland, and Närke, and is bounded by Norway in the west." So many umlauts! I love it. They were not widely photographed by my sources, but as always, Twitter is here for you. I love Sofia in her wellies.
