HMS Ocean, or the Mighty O as she is known throughout the fleet, has been sold to the Brazilian navy for £84m.
Informative Caption tells us, "Queen Elizabeth II waves to the ship's company as she leaves with the Captain of HMS Ocean, Captain Rob Pedre, after the decommissioning ceremony for HMS Ocean at HMNB Devonport in Plymouth.... HMS Ocean, or the Mighty O as she is known throughout the fleet, has been sold to the Brazilian navy for £84m." Good for you, Your Maj! Get that money for your ship! It's just like the rest of us selling our lightly worn flats on ThredUp.

Royal Maundy Service, St George's Chapel, Windsor, Berkshire, UK - 29 Mar 2018
As usual, QEII attended the Royal Maundy Service on Thursday -- this year's was at St George's Chapel at Windsor, where Harry and Meghan are getting married and, v. conveniently, two minutes from her house. Philip was supposed to come to this, but had to cancel last minute because his hip is acting up, apparently.

Rose Ball, Monaco - 24 Mar 2018
WEARING CHANEL SAME OUTFIT AS CATWALK MODEL *9327910aq
It was the Rose Ball in Monaco this week, and everyone wore Chanel, as ever. As far as I could tell, Princess Charlene did NOT attend -- she rarely comes to this, which plays into my own theory that Carolie and Stephanie are mean to her. Having said that, I believe Stephanie also ditched.

Her Majesty the Queen visits the Dossin barracks: Memorial, Museum and Documentation Center on Holocaust and Human Rights.
Apologies for the massive tonal shift: In Belgium this week, Mathilde went to The Dossin Memorial, which is a Holocaust and human rights museum. She looks very appropriate.
