Prince Harry

What else did you think I was going to start with? This is in the running to be the cover of our hit coffee table book Royal Bums.

Prince Harry

Harry fell off his horse and tweaked his back and he had to do this before he got (literally) back on the horse. He's fine but I also volunteer to help him, you know, stretch or something if he needs the rehab. Massage, or whatever. You know. Whatever you need.

Prince Harry

I hope he buys this one and puts it on the piano. Given that Harry lives in the smallest apartment at Kensington, I imagine that his piano is more of an electronic keyboard where he practices His Sound, and doesn't lend itself well to Piano Pictures.

Prince Harry

I wish Kate would buy Harry some better sunglasses.

Prince Harry

This particular polo event, in fact, stretched over two days, and Harry rode in both. (Wills showed up on Sunday, as you will soon see.) I enjoy me some Casual Polo With Sweatshirts and Wistful Gazing Into the Middle Distance.

Prince William

"I still love you, don't worry. Just because I haven't been around as much and I let Harry ride you last week, you're still MY polo pony. Prince #1 gets the white horse. EVERYONE KNOWS THAT. Let's go find some apples, Elton John."

Harry and Wills

This is both very sweet and delightfully close to a headlock.

Harry and Wills

Wills does seem very happy to have his brother back in the country and I must say I always enjoy the two of them cavorting. BRING THE BABIES TO THE NEXT MATCH, KATE. COME ON.

Harry and Wills and Andrew Tucker (their Polo Manager)

Here, I can only assume that Harry is texting someone on Tinder -- where he goes by Ginge McPants -- something VERY inappropriate. I feel like Facepalm William is...something that happens a lot.

Harry and Wills

"Don't TELL HER THAT, mate!"

Wills and Boots

Hunters gave Charlotte some rain boots, which are very cute. (I love mine!) (Although mine are red. And larger. I got the travel ones. You can fold them!)

Wills, Hems, and Elsa

Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky (and their little girl) all came out to watch the Polo and chat. Elsa's facial expression is like, "OH GOD TELL KATE I LOVE HER I'M WEARING HER SHOES!!!"

Harry and Hems and Elsa and India

Here, I've decided that The Hems is ALSO in love with Harry. Can't Harry and the Hems hang out all the time? IMAGINE THE PHOTO OPS. INVITE CHRIS EVANS.

JOAN FREAKING COLLINS (and Camz)

And then Camilla hung out with JOAN COLLINS at "the Royal Academy Annual Dinner to celebrate the Summer Exhibition." This photo has everything. Including a lone flute of champagne, just waiting to be thrown into someone's FACE.

Camilla and Princess Alexandra

Camz and Princess Alexandra really Hatted It Up for a Buck House garden party this week as well. They both look a bit retro this go-round, like they could fall into an adaptation of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.

Sophie Wessex

I enjoy everything that Sophie's got cooking here.

Queen Elizabeth II Attends Centenary Annual Meeting Of The National Federation Of Women's Institute

Rumors of Her Majesty's demise have been extremely exaggerated.

Sophie Wessex

And Sophie's ensemble is terrifically glam. (With the usual caveat about her shoes.)

Sophie Wessex

Two Buck House garden parties in one week: Gold star for Sophie! You may remember that she wore this ensemble at last year's Ascot -- which is coming up, so brace yourself.

Prince Charles Visits Romania

Meanwhile, Chaz is in Romania, hunting vampires. I mean, "studying trees."

Queen Maxima in Canada

Here's Maxima in Toronto, where I think she looks DIVINE.

Maxima in the Oval Office

And here, in DC, where she also looks quite elegant. I LOVE this picture. Her face is like, "YOU GUYS. I'M IN THE OVAL OFFICE. OBAMA IS RIGHT THERE. THIS IS AWESOME."

Princess Caroline, Prince Albert

"Albert, we've got to do something about this garden show. Chelsea Flower Show is putting us to shame. Can't you at least do some impromptu ballet??"

Queen Mathilde and King Philippe

I don't LOVE this on Mathilde, but I like it more than I ought to. If that makes any sense.

Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary

This is for those of you who wanted a little CPF last week. I AM HERE FOR YOU.

Crown Princess Mary

And this is one of my favorites of hers. (With bonus points for the hat.)

Indian President Shri Pranab Mukherjee, Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Daniel

Indian President Shri Pranab Mukherjee is on a state visit to Sweden. That is A HAT on Victoria. I think she is a dish, but I'm not sure if this mauve does it for me.

Shri Pranab Mukherjee, and the Swedish Royal Family

Here, we've got Sofia Hellqvist, Prince Carl Philip, Queen Silvia, President Mukherjee, King Carl Gustaf, Crown Princess Vic, and Prince Daniel. CPV looks SUPER in the green, right? I wish Sofia were in something more colorful, maybe, but her head looks swell. And I don't know what Q.S is wearing but I MIGHT LOVE IT.

Victoria of Sweden Attends Volvo Ocean Race in Portugal - Day 1

CPV later popped over to Portugal for a couple of days, and let me just say: This frock is zippy.

And this one is ALSO fetching.

King Felipe Of Spain and Queen Letizia Of Spain Visit France

Meanwhile, these two are on their official visit to France, which -- you may remember -- was postponed several months ago in the wake of the tragic Germanwings plane crash. I am happy to report that Letizia looks GREAT the entire time -- this, in fact, is probably my least favorite look of the tour to date.

King Felipe Of Spain and Queen Letizia Of Spain Visit France

How GREAT is this SKIRT? IT'S SO GREAT.

King Felipe Of Spain and Queen Letizia Of Spain Visit France

And this is elegant, although I wonder if the black shoes were the perfect way to go. They're not WRONG, and it's not like she can do a pattern or a metallic, but maybe a dark grey?

King Felipe Of Spain and Queen Letizia Of Spain Visit France

I LOVE this suit on her. It is fantastic. I don't know who helped her style this trip -- and if they were like, "Paris? We better bring it" -- but she's looking better than ever.

King Felipe Of Spain and Queen Letizia Of Spain Visit France

I mean, come on. This is fab.

King Felipe Of Spain and Queen Letizia Of Spain On Official Visit In France : Day 3

Ah, the infamous leather dress. I approve.

Royals Round-Up, June 5th, 2015

Oh, this is one juicy Royals Round-Up! I bring you SO MUCH polo, plus TIARAS! And bums! A VERY chic Letizia. And JOAN COLLINS. All that being said: Although Maxima and W-A are here in the US currently, they haven't been well-covered by US media -- Getty Images, our primary photo provider (and, by far, the largest one in the world) didn't seem to send out a photographer, so I have very few shots of them, unfortunately. I'm bringing you what I've got, though, and they will be well covered in the links. I know some of you saw her/shook her hand/attended some of their events, so please give us the scoop in the comments! A reminder: We’re appearing at the Printer’s Row Lit Fest tomorrow -- Saturday --at 1pm, chatting with Elizabeth Fenner, Editor-in-Chief of Chicago Magazine. Tickets are required for all parts of the event, even the signing (contrary to earlier intel; we hugely apologize for any confusion) and they are $2. You can buy them here, although they may be sold out at this point: https://www.tribtix.com/e/printers-row-lit-fest-pass-event-go-fug/tickets That said: no-show seats become first-come, first-served, 15 minutes prior to the chat beginning, so if you find yourself in the area at 12:45 with some time to kill, pop on by and see what happens! We can't wait to meet you! And elsewhere: The Detroit Free Press has loads of snaps of W-A and Maxima in Grand Rapids; Maxima is obviously wearing A GIANT HAT. Order of Splendor has a great wrap-up of Maxima's wardrobe, as well, including this batty spider pin she wore. And this is a great first-hand story about meeting her, at The Block Club, with great photos, and written by a Fug National! This is honestly one hell of a story: The Queen is not dead: How a ‘prank’ BBC tweet sparked alarm. (Macleans) "The greatest scandal in the history of the British Parliament had everything: sex, cash for honours, a feud within the Royal Family, and more – and all long before Jack Profumo, or Lord Levy or the Princess of Wales was born. In fact, its bicentenary is just a few days away." (The Independent) Princess Charlotte's christening date is set for July 5th, at Sandringham. (People) This story in People, about Kate and George's recent Hyde Park outing, makes me laugh. "It looked like she was pretending to be a monster, flailing her arms about and chasing him." British Vogue tries to pick a bride for Prince Harry. All suggestions will be familiar to Fug Nation. I didn't get pictures of Prince Harry meeting Samuel L Jackson in my photo services this weekend, but he is INTO IT, and who wouldn't be? (Vanity Fair) Princess Beatrice, Pierre Casiraghi, and Beatrice Borromeo all went to a VERY fancy wedding in Rome this week. Hello! has the pictures. A former RAF Valley chef talks about Wills and Harry. (The fact that Wills is "a bit of a lasagne man" pleases me, mostly because of a bit we have in The Royal We.) (The Daily Post) Bless Tatler, for rounding up some of the best tiaras that have appeared in their party coverage...EVER. Hello also has a piece about Sofia Hellqvist's royal fashion inspirations. Prince Felix and Princess Claire of Luxembourg have released new family photos. (Hello!) This is an interesting piece in Politico about how Felipe (and Letitia) is improving the reputation of the Spanish royals.
