Kate Attends Coffee Morning At Family Friends

Royals Round-Up

I basically just included this because I want to add it to my collection of Royals Stuck In Trees.

Sophie Wessex

Royals Round-Up

This week marked Sophie's 50th birthday and she celebrated by looking FABULOUS.

Prince Edward and Sophie

Royals Round-Up

I enjoy Prince Edward sheepishly lurking behind her here.

Camilla and Chris Evans

Royals Round-Up

This is radio presenter Chris Evans, not -- OBVIOUSLY -- Captain America Chris Evans, and I never thought of it before this very moment, but I want Captain America Chris Evans to meet Camilla more than anything.

Prince Charles

Royals Round-Up

Informative Caption Time: "Prince Charles looks out at the gardens during a tour of the Jain Temple on January 22, 2015 in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, England. " I did not know this place existed, and it looks very interesting and beautiful.

Prince Charles

Royals Round-Up

Doesn't it?

Queen Elizabeth II

And finally in Great Britain, the Queen showed us all how to pop out of a Range Rover in a ladylike manner (pro top: hang onto the handle).

Prince Carl Phillip

Prince Carl Phillip popped out (not necessarily of a Range Rover) to look at some art.

King Felipe

Royals Round-Up

"My neck itches," Felipe thought. "Perhaps I should shave this beard." AND A NATION CRIED OUT IN FEAR.

King Felipe and Queen Letizia

Royals Round-Up

I thought this was a dress on Letizia. It feels ever so slightly less severe now that I know -- or suspect -- it's a top and skirt. (Felipe looks very Traditional.)

Queen Letizia

Royals Round-Up

Every time she wears this coat, I am honor-bound to note that I love this coat.

Queen Maxima

Royals Round-Up

I also love THIS coat.

Queen Maxima

Royals Round-Up

But I am really worried that Maxima is going to throw out her neck one of these days. This has to weight a ton!

Charlotte Casiraghi; Jerome Lambert

Royals Round-Up

I secretly am also really down for this coat.

Princess Caroline

Royals Round-Up

AND this one!

auline Ducruet, Princess Stephanie, Prince Albert

Royals Round-Up

But now that I've seen this, I'm never going to sleep again. THAT'S FINE.

Royals Round-Up, January 23rd, 2015
I am beginning to think that Maxima's resolution for 2015 was "wear the heaviest necklaces possible." That plus TERRIFYING CLOWNS, good sunglasses, and a couple of amazing coats. COATS! Here at GFY this week, Kate popped out for three engagements in a light blue coat and a patterned frock and OBVIOUSLY WE COVERED IT. And elsewhere: Per the BBC, Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah has died (at 90), and his obituary is interesting and educational. Trivia: this means that QE2 is now the oldest living monarch, a title I suspect she may enjoy for some years yet. Those are some spry genetics. Even better is the story of the time she drove him around Balmoral in her Range Rover, noteworthy on several levels. (Buzzfeed) I desperately want to go to this exhibit; if you're in London this summer, please go and report back. Via The Telegraph: How to make your own Wolf Hall garden: Henry VIII's horticultural manual revealed. From said article, "it tells gardeners that 'cucumbers shake with fear at thunder,' while a squash will bear fruit after precisely nine days if planted in the ashes of human bone and watered with oil." Maybe that's why my container garden always fails: insufficient human ashes. King Felipe is on the cover of RapGap, a Spanish magazine for the gay community, in support of LGBT equality. You are awesome, Felipe. (Logo) Tatler has a Which British Royal Are You? quiz. I got Kate (as if!), but I'm pretty sure I was one naked Vegas jaunt away from being Harry. Hello! takes a look at Sophie's "fashion transformation" on the event of her birthday (which I seriously kept thinking was last week). The Royal Hats blog also has, like, ALL of her hats. The current Jewel History up at The Court Jeweller is really interesting. (As it always is.) And I thought this week's Tiara Thursday at Royal Order of Sartorial Splendor was also really interesting! (As it always is.) Let's all get matching Vivienne Westwood shirts with Prince Charles's face on them. (Royal Central) You DO want to read this, over at Vanity Fair. I'll just give you part of the lede: "Of all the palatial London mansions of the British aristocracy obliterated, carved up, or converted over the decades—only one, Dudley House, is now a private home." LET'S LOOK INSIDE. I think you'll understand why I'm including this: A Map of Every Goat in the United States.
