Are you ready to look at some Royals Christmas Cards? Because I have some to show you. (They were not sent to ME.) I also bring you an enormous stuffed goose, Dominic West, Brianne of Tarth, and William wearing his eyeglasses.

We had three Royals-y pieces here at GFY for you this week, namely:

- [PLEASE LOOK GEORGE'S NEW PORTRAITS NOW PLEASE THANK YOU](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/william-kate-george-christmas-photo-12-2014/).
- Kate [went out in a hoodie and let some Beaver Scouts blindfold her.](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/kate-middleton-scouts-12-2014/) Tis the season!
- And [Prince Harry's photos from his trip to Africa earlier this month finally hit the wires](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/royally-played-prince-harry-3-12-2014/), and they're pretty great.

ELSEWHERE:

- READ THIS, over at Jezebel: [The Most Miserable Princess Ever: Sisi, Empress Elisabeth of Austria](https://jezebel.com/the-most-miserable-princess-ever-sisi-empress-elisab-1671950113?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)
- I admit it, I snickered: [Oblivious passenger nearly bumps into the Queen as she takes train to Sandringham.](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/queen-elizabeth-II/11301793/Oblivious-passenger-nearly-bumps-into-the-Queen-as-she-takes-train-to-Sandringham.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) LOOK. SHE HAS STUFF TO DO, OKAY? (The Telegraph)
- *Hello!* talks to Princess Charlene about her twins and [she says all the happy things one would expect of a new mother giving an interview about her newborn babies](https://us.hellomagazine.com/royalty/2014121622479/princess-charlene-first-interview/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). I believe they're still in the hospital, but it sounds like they're going home early next week. (I wonder if they're spending a little time in the NICU before heading home; she says she's looking forward to spending "more time in their presence," which could just be bad translation \[although Charlene's first language IS English\] or weird transcription, but it made me wonder if she's not getting to be with them 24/7 right at the moment.) I obviously can't wait to see them.
- Speaking of babies, those of you who wondered if [Princess Madeleine was of Sweden was expecting another one ARE CORRECT.](https://us.hellomagazine.com/royalty/2014121922537/princess-madeleine-pregnant-second-child/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (Like Fug National AnnieC!) (Hello! Magazine)
- [Wills and Kate went to a friend's wedding on Saturday, and the *Daily Express* has the pictures](https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/547121/Duchess-Duke-Cambridge-Kate-William-black-lace-gown?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). William is obviously wearing a New Jersey Devils hockey jersey under a man-fur and Kate is sporting denim short-alls and shower shoes.
- This is not technically royals-related, but I LOVE this stuff, and I think it will appeal to you, if you are reading this: Sotheby's is auctioning off -- well, just let me quote *The Telegraph*: "..[many of the personal possessions of the late Mary Soames, Sir Winston Churchill’s last surviving child. As a collection they chart Mary Soames’s life, from her childhood in Chartwell to her service in the army during the Second World War and her later public life](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/luxury/collectables/55679/sothebys-sale-daughter-of-history-mary-soames-and-the-legacy-of-churchill-at.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). The 255 lots, many of which featured in her Holland Park home, reflect the fond relationship between Mary and her father, allowing for a unique insight into the private side of Britain's greatest war-time leader. Also included is the most important group of paintings, 15 in total, by Churchill himself to come to market."
- Speaking of auctions, per *The Express*: [Princess Margaret’s jewels go for £40,000 at auction.](https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/543732/Princess-Margaret-s-jewels-Bonhams-auction-40k?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)
- Kate and George went to the Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park, semi-incognito. [*People*](https://www.people.com/people/package/article/0,,20395222%5F20882951,00.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)[, of course, has the scoop](https://www.people.com/people/package/article/0,,20395222%5F20882951,00.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).
- *People* also explains [why Prince George was wearing shorts in his official photos. ](https://www.people.com/article/prince-george-short-pants-tradition?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)(In short: because it's traditional!)
- [The traditional rumor that the Queen is going to abdicate in her Christmas speech is back again.](https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/30520643?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (She's totally not.) (Also, by the way, my cleaning lady is QUITE SURE this is actually going to happen, and she won't hear otherwise. If it turns out she's got a hotline to the palace, I'm going to regret not taking advantage of that earlier.) (BBC News)
