Princess Charlene in custom Armani Privé

This dress is GORGEOUS, even if she does look like she's popping up out of a lily. And her earrings are INSANELY GLAM. I'm also impressed by her eye makeup.

Char and Al

Yes, yes, they look great, but I want to know more about the woman behind her, because she also looks great.

Al, Leo, Char

This dress is also really good -- high fashion black-and-white cookie. Full marks this week, Charlene!

King Philippe and Queen Mathilde

Mathilde is making it all up to me with this cuff.

Queen Letizia

I am here for ALL of this, from floofy dress to fab earrings to great shoes.

Queen Letizia

This dress is likewise GREAT. I might want that clutch.

Sophie Wessex Attends The New Forest Show

Over in England, Sophie put on a polka dot number she wears often -- I like it very much -- and met some livestock.

Chaz in Bristol

NO ONE is more delighted by accidentally being given twice the number of spoons needed to stir his tea than Chaz is.

Cams

Let us turn to Informative Caption for this: "Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, watches as Scouts fire a giant catapult they made as she visits the Poppy Pod Village at the Tile Barn Outdoor Centre...The Village stands on the site of a former First Word War Hospital and provides accommodation for service personnel and their families." SOMEONE might need this for his upcoming Christmas gift.

Chaz and Cams

"What? I thought YOU were going to turn off the chocolate fountain."

HEADS!

AHEM: These are "papier mâché models of the Royal Family made by pupils at Flitcham Church of England Primary Academy," and I LOVE THEM. I hope Camilla bought these -- she saw them at the Sandringham Flower Show -- and will put them in a little bowl on her dressing table.

Royals Round-Up, July 29th, 2016

And we are deeply in the portion of the year where most of the royals are on vacay. Thank goodness Charlene came out in some MAJOR JEWELS and one hell of a gown. If you missed it earlier this week, Wills and Kate came out in their matching Cambridge tops to support British yachting. Elsewhere around the internet: -- Wills and Kate are coming to Canada in September, allegedly WITH the kids. (Macleans) -- And Charlene and Al are coming to the US. (People) -- At The Duchess Diary, Pippa Middleton’s New “Title:” What Does It Actually Mean? -- At The Telegraph: Inside the Queen's wardrobe: Behind-the-scenes at the Royal Collection's exhibition of immaculate outfits -- This was interesting, over at Vogue: The Strange, Sweet Odyssey of Princess Tatiana of Greece -- Variety reports: ‘The Crown’: Peter Morgan Says Royal Family is ‘Very Aware’ Of Netflix’s Queen Elizabeth Drama -- I obviously enjoyed this piece in People about Prince George ordering his cake. It seems I may have his personality down?
