What a WEEK! We had A LOT of Royal Events this week, and still plenty of stuff you haven't yet eyeballed in the slideshow. Pour another Pimms and let's get it on. I bring you turbans and George and tiaras and the deepest Wiki deep-dive ever, which somehow brings us new knowledge about the world's biggest yachts and also Putin? I don't know. These things just happen.

Here at GFY:

- We had [Prince Carl Philip and Sofia's wedding](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/royally-played-the-wedding-of-prince-carl-philip-and-sofia-hellqvist-the-bride-and-groom-06-2015/)!
- We also covered their guests,[ the Wiki-details of which were as diverting as usual.](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/royally-played-the-wedding-of-prince-carl-philip-and-sofia-hellqvist-the-guests-06-2015/)
- It was Trooping the Colour over in London, and all the Brits seemed mildly cranky, [EXCEPT for Prince George, who is a treasure](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/royally-played-trooping-the-colour-2015-06-2015/)
- Kate [took George out the next day for polo, and it was adorable.](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/royally-played-polo-in-the-park-with-george-06-2015/)
- Then Ascot began! [Here's our coverage of Days One and Two](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/mostly-royally-playeddays-one-and-two-of-royal-ascot-06-2015/)
- And [our coverage of Day Three,](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/fugs-and-fabs-and-royals-and-hats-royal-ascot-ladies-day-06-2015/) AKA Ladies Day
- And finally, if you read *The Royal We,* you might be interested in reading about how Heather and I tinkered with British history to shove the current group off to the side, and place our fictional Lyons dynasty on the throne, while still maintaining a giant chunk of history as we know it. [We get very detailed about it -- down to a family tree stretching back to Victoria -- over on our book blog. ](https://heatherandjessica.wordpress.com/2015/06/17/the-royal-we-rewriting-the-past/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

And elsewhere of interest:

- I've mentioned here before that Netflix is making a series about Queen Elizabeth and her many prime ministers (starring Claire Foy, who was recently Anne Boleyn in *Wolf Hall*, which should be...interesting) and they've got more casting news[: John Lithgow as Churchill (???) and Matt Smith was Prince Philip](https://www.hypable.com/matt-smith-new-netflix-series-the-crown/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), which..... I feel like a lot of my reactions to the casting of this series is just punctuation. I am not a *Doctor Who* watcher, but I feel like Young Prince Philip was REALLY HOT and Smith doesn't really ring my bell, so...we'll see. (Hypeable)
- Hard times when you are a princess who's ALLEGEDLY committed tax fraud: [Spanish Princess Sells Mansion To Pay Bail](https://news.sky.com/story/1504446/spanish-princess-sells-mansion-to-pay-bail?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (Sky News)
- *Hello!* has [loads of details about Princess Madeleine's new baby, wee Prince Nicolas ](https://us.hellomagazine.com/royalty/1201506175467/princess-madeleine-shares-first-picture-of-beautiful-baby-boy?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)(which we're taking as a shout-out to *The Royal We*.) This story also has perhaps the jauntiest thumbs-up I've seen in weeks.
- The outfit George wore at Trooping the Colour on Saturday [was previously worn by Wills AND by Chaz, and *People*'s got all the details](https://www.people.com/people/package/article/0,,20395222%5F20931337,00.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). I want an interview with the person in charge of Heirloom Baby Clothes Maintenance!
- *People* really KNOWS ME, you guys:[ Kate and Her Striped Shirts: A Love Story](https://www.peoplestylewatch.com/people/stylewatch/gallery/0,,20930779,00.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)
- Per *The Mirror*, [everyone went out and celebrated QE2's birthday last week at...a wine bar.](https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/kate-middleton-prince-william-celebrated-5878340?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) ALL OF THEM. Philip, too. At 94, dear God, PLEASE let me be tottering out to the wine bar.
- *People* says [Pips has been out buying presents for Charlotte.](https://www.people.com/people/package/article/0,,20395222%5F20930226,00.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)
- They've also got[ good scoop on the ins and outs of Royal Ascot's dress code](https://stylenews.peoplestylewatch.com/2015/06/16/royal-ascot-queen-elizabeth-hat-prince-harry/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).
- So [does *The New York Times!*](https://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/19/sports/at-royal-ascot-the-dress-codes-keep-the-crowds-elegant.html?smid=tw-nytimes&%5Fr=0&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)
- [Today was Harry's last day in the Army, which actually is very possibly why he seemed so glum this week](https://us.hellomagazine.com/royalty/2015061925873/prince-harry-ends-army-career/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). He's off to Africa for three months to work on conservations projects. (Hello!)
- That said, [the rumor that he and Jenna Coleman are dating (or possibly just banging) IS picking up steam](https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/a3323/prince-harry-dating-jenna-coleman/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). That should cheer you up, Harry! At least until you leave for three months. (Town and Country)
