This is like two headbands surprised in the act of making love. ## Queen Maxima ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/03/GettyImages-514477762.jpg) This entire outfit, in fact, is bonkers, and not in a good way. She kind of looks like she's in costume as the ballroom at a four star hotel in 1999. ## Queen Maxima ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/03/GettyImages-514193658.jpg) I misread the caption on this as saying that she is attending a "cape seminar." Sadly, it's only a health care seminar. BOOOOOORING. ## Queen Maxima ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/03/GettyImages-514307688.jpg) "Max, I HEART your new coat," buzzed a text from the Duchess of Cambridge. "THANKS. See you at the Houndstooth Emporium during the Wives of Heirs and Rulers Convention in August!" ## W-A and Maxima ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/03/GettyImages-514660456.jpg) How CUTE are these two? They're on a state visit to France, and this is a bench they donated to a hostel. I've literally never seen two people so thrilled with a bench. Did they MEET on a bench? Regardless: Carry on, you charming pair. I love you. ## Max and Wax Go to Paris ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/03/GettyImages-514765574.jpg) This coat on Maxima is totally wacky -- it's like FABULOUS UPHOLSTERY FABRIC and it's got a cape back, and I LOVE IT. Sincerely. This is not ironic love. It's WACKY and I would wear it. ## Wax and Max in Paris ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/03/GettyImages-514800438.jpg) Her dress underneath is totally normal. (It goes without saying that it's a very Maxima-y hat. Bless the European royals of the world for keeping hats alive. I hope whomever America's next first lady is, that she attempts to bring back the hat. \[This will not happen.\] \[Also, despite gender pronouns and use of the word "lady," this also applies to you, Bill. I want a fedora. Or a boater!\]) ## Maxima in Paris ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/03/GettyImages-514674112.jpg) Our photo service had this incorrectly captioned as "a model," rather than "Queen Maxima," and I think that just confirms how FOXY she looks in this. ## Maxima in Paris ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/03/GettyImages-514665980.jpg) FULL MARKS. ## W-A, Francois Hollande, Maxima ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/03/GettyImages-514667756.jpg) Also, this feels about right. ## Prince of Wales Attends Royal College of Music Awards ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/03/GettyImages-514612052.jpg) I appreciate that Chaz is wearing the colors of my collegiate alma mater. Go Bruins, indeed. ## Rita Ora and Chaz ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/03/GettyImages-514174324.jpg) In which Rita Ora dresses SO APPROPRIATELY for the occasion. (Sincerely!) ## The Duchess Of Cornwall Hosts Reception For WOW ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/03/GettyImages-514491046.jpg) Informative Caption tells me, "President of WOW, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, speaks with former Lord Justice of Appeal Baroness Butler-Sloss (L) at a reception for the Women of the World Festival (WOW) at Clarence House." But I ALSO want to to know who the woman standing between them is, because her outfit is amaaaazing. ## Princess Beatrice ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/03/GettyImages-514436768.jpg) This outfit is okay? (It's totally fine from the waist down, of course.) But only with her coat on. Because underneath it she is wearing a cropped sweater vest over an untucked white oxford and it's just no good, Bea. It's very Cher Horowitz after just waking up from a nap. ## Princess Beatrice ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/03/GettyImages-514476992.jpg) In which I thank god that no one is taking photos of me dancing at concerts. ## Credentials presented at Buckingham Palace ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/03/GettyImages-514451070.jpg) Here, per IC, "Queen Elizabeth II meets the High Commissioner for Antigua and Barbuda, Karen Mae-Hill," and Ms Mae-Hill's hat is lovely, and the color of the walls in this room is my jam. ## The Queen Meets the Queen ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/03/GettyImages-514289806.jpg) "See, she's the Queen Bee, Your Majesty, rather like you are the...well, you get the metaphor." ## Prince Philip opens The Prince Philip Barracks at MOD Lyneham ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/03/GettyImages-514804784.jpg) Per Informative Caption, "Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, Colonel-in-Chief, Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME), unveils a plaque to officially open and name the new home of REME 'The Prince Philip Barracks.' Prince Philip toured the barracks, visiting the technical training building to view the facility and meet soldiers, and went on to visit one of the refurbished hangars on the former RAF site." I want someone to count up how many TINY CURTAINS Phil has opened in his life. Like...it must be literally thousands of tiny tiny curtains. ## Princess Caroline ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/03/GettyImages-514444262.jpg) Princess Caroline popped over to Paris to see the Chanel show, as one must do, obviously. ## The Belgians Host Germany ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/03/GettyImages-514352540.jpg) And over in Brussels, Mathilde and Phillipe are hosting the president of Germany and his long-term girlfriend, Daniela Schadt. (He's technically been married to someone else since 1959? Germany seems okay with this? Please give us the scoop, German Fug Nationals). There are SO MANY SASHES happening at this dinner. ## The Belgians Host Germany ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/03/GettyImages-514292100.jpg) And here, so many chandeliers. I feel like I've never seen this many chandeliers in one photo. They're about to gain sentience and take over Brussels, I fear. ## Queen Mathilde and Daniela Schadt ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/03/GettyImages-514664324.jpg) I need to know more about Mathilde's shoes. ## Felipe and Letizia ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/03/GettyImages-514670622.jpg) Letizia is really into roomy coats lately. Like, REALLY. I am not implying anything. I'm just noting a trend. ## Princess Sofia & Carl Philip Meet With UN Ambassadors In Stockholm ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/03/FFN_Sofia_Princess_STELLA_031016_51993099.jpg) EVERYONE in blue suits! Even you, Sofia! [Royals Round-Up, March 11, 2016This week's Royals Round-Up is so PACKED, you guys. We've got new Wills & Kate! We've got GIANT hats! We've got turbans! We've got Maxima looking arguably the best she's ever looked! We've got literal Queen Bees! Please join us. If you missed it earlier this week: -- Wills and Kate released pictures of them and Prince George and Princess Charlotte on the slopes over the weekend. (There's a LOT of discussion in the comments, there.) -- They also had several engagements yesterday; Kate's dress is CUTE, and Wills looks hot wearing regular trousers for once. -- AND they were totally cute together today, as well. (We're going to get another does of them on Monday, along with Harry's reappearance.) And, elsewhere: -- I thought this was really interesting, at the Daily Beast: Inside Will and Kate’s Privacy Obsession -- The Telegraph ran a pro-Wills op-ed, and all I know is that, regardless, he for sure hates everyone talking about him this much. -- The Express had a piece on Royal Ski PhotoCalls In History. There are some SKI SUITS happening. -- The Duchess Kate blog has done two great posts predicting what Kate will wear on next month's tour of India and Bhutan (to which I am personally looking very forward). Here's a link to the most recent one. I also agree with the Fug Nationals who predicted earlier this week that she will probably wear Naeem Khan. Given my extreme love of Naeem Khan, I cannot wait for this to happen. -- Some text messages between Queen Letizia and, as The Telegraph terms him, "a businessman embroiled in a banking scandal" have recently leaked, and she's in a bit of hot water. My question is, who got Letizia's text messages, and how? That seems suspicious. -- Harry is staying with a local family when he goes to Nepal. Um, he is totally welcome to stay with me the next time he visit Los Angeles. (People) -- You guys. Idris got his OBE this morning. PREPARE YOURSELF FOR HOTNESS: @BritishMonarchy Made my \*Mum very happy today!! pic.twitter.com/JAkfN0arBa — Idris Elba (@idriselba) March 11, 2016 -- Harry's prepping for his trip to Nepal: This morning Prince Harry took part in a roundtable briefing with NGOs working on the ground in Nepal pic.twitter.com/C6YYvM2i8y — Kensington Palace (@KensingtonRoyal) March 10, 2016 -- Look at this baby! #PrinceOscar makes his photographic debut - photo released by Swedish Royal Court taken at Haga Palace pic.twitter.com/CBMFRJIBqu — The Royal Forums (@theroyalforums) March 7, 2016![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/bf/b9/bfb99790-924d-4e41-a7e6-5e3c6e04fe57/content/images/static-gofugyourself-com/uploads/2016/03/gettyimages-514477744.jpg)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/royals-round-up-march-11-2016-03-2016/)
