THE BEARD ABIDES. Also, Maxima, what are you wearing?!

And, elsewhere:

\-- [European Queens Waged More Wars Than Kings](https://nymag.com/scienceofus/2016/01/european-queens-waged-more-wars-than-kings.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), says The Science of Us. We ladies like to get things done, what can I say?

\-- *People* explains [what was involved in some of the religious ceremonies performed by Prince Albert and Charlene this past week](https://www.people.com/people/package/article/0,,20395222%5F20982826,00.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

\-- Also at *People*,[ Pips just did this major ski race, and celebrated afterward with fondue.](https://www.people.com/people/package/article/0,,20395222%5F20982259,00.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) I support that.

\-- This is an interesting piece in *The Telegraph* about th[e work Camilla is doing for charities devoted to helping victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/life/the-peoples-duchess-camillas-quiet-support-of-domestic-violence/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

\-- One of QE2's former press secretaries recently died, and[ his obit -- also in *The Telegraph* \-- is very interesting](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/12118279/Robin-Ludlow-royal-press-secretary-obituary.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). I love him for this alone: "With better locations \[for press covering a royal event\], the photographs and copy might have been more interesting." THANK YOU FOR THINKING ABOUT OUR COPY, SIR.

\-- *The Sun* has this whole piece -- and, you know, grain of salt and all -- about how[ Prince Harry is totes bummed now because everyone he knows is getting married and having babies and he's all byyyyyy himseeeeeeelf.](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/6884061/The-party-is-finally-over-for-Prince-Harry.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

\-- This is from the *Mail (I KNOW)*, but you probably want to read [all about the auction they're doing of the Duchess of Devonshire's estate](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-3411684/Duchess-Devonshire-s-possessions-hammer-700-000-sale.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). WHAT SHALL WE BUY? (Also, it's really random that Madonna gave her a signed copy of *The Year of Magical Thinking*, which, by the way, MADONNA DID NOT WRITE. I get it, but...that's a strange gift. "Hey, I put a super chipper note inside this book that's SUPER UPSETTING." I mean, that is a great book but it's also a total bummer and full of people dropping dead, so sort of tone-deaf to give to, like, a 95 year old woman who's lost so many people in her life.)
