The Duke Of Cambridge vsits the youth homeless charity Centrepoint

Royals Round-Up (1)

"Okay, so this movie is about this very very dashing prince and his troublesome younger brother who keeps getting into romantical scrapes from which he needs to be rescued, and this very pretty brown-haired girl who is actually a SORCERESS and we -- I mean, THEY -- THEY have adventures! ACTION!"

Prince William and Steven Gerrard

"So, Steve. Tell me more about your ab routine. Wait, I need a pen. Just one sec...."

King Willem-Alexander of The Netherlands and Queen Maxima of The Netherlands

Royals Round-Up (2)

Prince Albert is visiting the Netherlands -- sans Charlene, who is busy at home gestating, I presume -- and so they had a party. I LOVE this on Maxima, and clearly so does W-A. Bonus tiara!

The green Lanvin makes up for the fact that this jumpsuit MAKES ME WANT TO DIE. MAXIMA. MAXIMA. NO.

Sophie Wessex

Royals Round-Up (4)

The Countess of Wessex got the nod for this week's garden party. I like the skirt, and I like the fabric -- and I am amused by the hat, which is often the best use of a hat -- but I wonder if either the jacket or the skirt might be better more streamlined? Let's discuss.

Queen Elizabeth II Holds Garden Party At Buckingham Palace

Royals Round-Up (5)

Ever since one of you pointed out the The Queen's umbrellas match her outfits, I have been fixated on this. Additionally, you HAVE seen this outfit before. It's the same thing she wore that one time that one grandchildren of hers married that pretty brown-haired sorceress.

Queen Elizabeth Attends The Leonard Cheshire Disability Reception

Royals Round-Up (6)

As I believe we discussed last week, surely the best way to get the attention of the Queen at an event is to somehow bring your dog.

Princess Beatrice

Royals Round-Up (8)

This is two cute blazers in two weeks on Bea. Golf clap.

Princes Letizia and Felipe of Spain attend Principe de Viana award

Royals Round-Up (7)

This was their first outing after the abdication was announced. They both look a little dazed; Letizia's outfit feels a little thrown together, like, "aw, shit, am I going to have to wear skirts all the time now? I DON'T HAVE ONE THAT GOES WITH THIS BLAZER. I hate being Queen."

Prince Felipe of Spain and Princess Letizia of Spain

Royals Round-Up (9)

And, indeed, let's watch this space, but I suspect someone is going to start showing more leg. That said, this skirt is very cute. But there is NO REASON IN THE WORLD for beige shoes with it. You could literally wear any shoes in the world with this.

Royals Round-Up, June 6th 2014
SO MUCH ROYALS THIS WEEK. Obviously, the early part of the week was all people talking about the King of Spain abdicating for Prince Felipe -- I can't tell you the number of articles I've read trying to pretend that Kate and Letizia have the same personal style; anyone paying attention knows that's not true, as Letizia always wears pants and Kate only does for casual stuff. Come ON, people -- and then today and yesterday was full of fascinating D-Day events, which we have covered in their own post. In addition to all that, this slideshow brings HATS AND SHENANIGANS AND PANTS AND CLAPPING AND SHIRTLESSNESS. In addition to the D-Day post, we can also offer you: Wills and Harry playing polo and leaping off horses and whacking things and sarcastically clapping. Wills and Kate's D-Day activities. The Queen opened Parliament and there were MANY TIARAS. We continue to chronicle the trainwreck that is I Wanna Marry "Harry." To wit: "She says that people only have paparazzi photographers chasing after them if people know who they are. OR IF YOU ARE ON A FOX REALITY SHOW WHERE THERE ARE PRODUCERS DOING THINGS THAT ARE MADE UP HOW NAIVE ARE YOU PEOPLE ANYWAY. Then she says, 'Am I a complete idiot, or am I dating Prince Harry?' I CHOOSE DOOR NUMBER ONE." And around the internet: Richard Palmer, who covers the British royals for The Daily Express, wrote a really interesting piece about the Spanish abdication and the British monarchy. If you are interested in the Brits, I highly recommend you read it. The Telegraph hypothesizes that this signals the end of "the playboy prince." Rest easy, ladies: Katie Nicholl over at Vanity Fair thinks Harry and Cressy are 100% O.V.E.R, period, full-stop, end. VF has also eyeballed Harry chatting up YET ANOTHER blonde, this time at polo last week. WHAT OF EDWINA, HARRY? WHAT OF EDWINA. I am rarely able to get good shots of Crown Princess Mary, but the Daily Mail I Know does not have my problems and you totally want to see her dress here. Tatler brings you Ascot Hats Of The Past! There's a photo where Prince Charles looks deeply annoyed and Diana is like, having the best time (and, I think, pushing past him to go talk to someone else). James Middleton is still talking about his marshmallows empire, this time with The Cut. Ahem: "We haven’t yet had a marriage proposal on a Boomf marshmallow, which I want to have because I want it to be edible. Or, like, a secret message from the government that uses Boomf marshmallows to stop secret documents from being leaked — like, they’re put on a marshmallow and then the evidence is destroyed. Those are some of our brainstorming ideas. So, yeah, to the White House: If you ever need any paper that can be destroyed, like spy-style paper, we’ll do that." Although every time I read these things, I kind of want to eat one, so there's that. [Photos; Getty, Fame/Flynet, Pacific Coast News, PA Wire]
