If you like photos of Kate wearing a blazer, this post is for you! (Also: photos of great Christmas decorations, royals in masks, and, as always, coats!)

Around these parts, we covered [Crown Prince Haakon's wedding to Mette-Marit yesterday,](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/royal-wedding-rewind-crown-prince-haakon-of-norway-marries-mette-marit-tjessem-hoiby-12-2020/) and [our coverage of The Crown continues](https://www.gofugyourself.com/tag/the-crown?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

The New York Times wonders, [Why Do We Care So Much About Diana’s Dresses? ](https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/17/style/crown-diana-dresses.html?fbclid=IwAR2IPJ50NsJk9MSSWDc61fyWjJ58u1xqpXvvUZ94iQ9sHluU13sUHjIS3QE&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

I found this so interesting, and also sweetly funny at points, also at the NYT: [Lady Elizabeth Anson, Party Planner to the Royals, Dies at 79](https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/23/world/europe/lady-elizabeth-anson-dead.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). To wit: "Lady Elizabeth could handle protocol like a general — timing to the minute, for example, the arrival of this head of state or that king to a royal wedding. She knew that the queen liked her lamb well done, and that the queen should be served the first three slices of a roast. She felt that the secret to a successful party, along with easy access to the bathroom and to the bar, was to seat the boring people together; to her mind, they would never know the difference. It was a dictum so often repeated, Mrs. Webber-Jamieson said, that guests at a Lady Elizabeth affair began to wonder if they had been seated at the boring table."

At People: [Kate Middleton’s ‘Influential’ Work for Children and Families Will Likely Have a ‘Long-Term Impact’](https://people.com/royals/kate-middleton-work-with-children-and-families-will-have-a-long-term-impact/??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Good for Kate!

This is really interesting to me: [New title eyed for \[Japanese\] princesses after they wed so they continue duties](https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/13961414?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). \[Asahi Shimbun\]

And, in social media:

We have an organization called Paint Britain in [*The Royal We/The Heir Affair*](https://amzn.to/2VzHD8n?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), so I extra appreciate the name of Chaz's deal here:

I love this dress on Her Maj:

A lot of her Zoom Looks are in the slideshow, but not this one -- I love this jacket. (It's [Alexa Chung's collaboration with Barbour](https://rstyle.me/+-fl44g%5F3iS9dyoDSvmsvDA?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).)

This is really nice:

These are cute:
