She looks so distinctly non-thrilled about this phase of her life. She REALLY just wanted a hamster, you guys. ## Prince Oscar of Sweden ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/05/GettyImages-534650730.jpg) Hee hee hee. This picture is GREAT. I think Oscar looks JUST LIKE Estelle. ## Christening of Prince Oscar of Sweden ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/05/GettyImages-534647886.jpg) I also LOVE this dress on Victoria. It's like the older sister to [Kate's Zimmermann dress, which is one of my favorite day dresses ever](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/well-replayed-kate-and-wills-at-wimbledon-07-2014/). Applause all around. Especially for Oscar, who just spent the entire time looking TAKEN ABACK. ## M-M and CPF ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/05/GettyImages-534655066.jpg) Is Mette-Marit wearing a very skinny headband? Sometimes her head-choices confuse me. ## Princess Madeleine and Princess Leonore ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/05/GettyImages-534652788.jpg) These shoes are obviously a snooze, but her dress is very delicately pretty, and Madeleine is SO lovely, isn't she? (On the other hand, Leonore DOES NOT LIKE THIS EVENT AT ALL. Her whole face just screams, "can I please take a nap now PLEASE??") ## Queen Silvia and King Carl Gustaf ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/05/GettyImages-534655018.jpg) It seems a delicate blush color was the choice of the day. ## Carl Philip, Sofia, Chris, and Prince Nicolas ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/05/GettyImages-534655666.jpg) Somewhere next to a swimming pool in Norfolk, Kate reads this post on her phone and nods approvingly at all these beige shoes. Here in Los Angeles, I approve of Sofia's Daytime Capelet. ## Crown Princess Mary and Prince Haakon ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/05/GettyImages-534653170.jpg) I enjoy that Crown Princess Mary seems to be reflecting upon how very very handsome Haakon is. And I must say, I LOVE this dress on her. ## Crown Princess Mary ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/05/GettyImages-534655840.jpg) That hat, the bag, those shoes, that dress? PERFECTION. ## Princess Beatrice ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/05/GettyImages-534434796.jpg) Over in the UK, Andy and the York Girls attended yet another Garden Party on Thursday. I like this dress on Bea a lot -- I'd love to see it without the little jacket -- and bless her for wearing a predictably slightly bonkers hat. It looks like a tiny, perfectly wrapped gift perched on the top of her head. ALSO, I think that structure behind her is where the BP swimming pool lives. We hardly ever get to see the backyard from this POV! ## The Yorks ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/05/GettyImages-534434740.jpg) This formal photo they take at garden parties -- usually; I didn't see one from the one Kate and Wills attended, although maybe I just missed it -- always makes me laugh. They're always so SERIOUS. My theory is that this is the photo snapped whilst God Save The Queen plays? But it always makes me want to say, "cheer up, darlings! It's a garden party, not a firing squad." ## Princess Eugenie ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/05/GettyImages-534434820.jpg) This blue is great on Eugenie, and I wish she had more of it around her face. (We have similar coloring and I want to sit her down and tell her that we look better with COLOR by our faces This isn't bad by any stretch of the imagination -- and her hat makes me giggle; it's like a feathered coaster -- but imagine how FAB this would be with a blue top.) ## The Emirates FA Cup Final ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/05/GettyImages-533305662.jpg) Wills popped out over the weekend to do his SoccerFootball President thingie, which involves a lot of shaking hands and making serious sportsfaces. ## Chelsea Flower Show ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/05/GettyImages-533769550.jpg) This photo came in late for me, after I'd already written my post about the Chelsea Flower Show. Allow me to share your Informative Caption: "Queen Elizabeth II visits the 5000 Poppies Garden at Chelsea Flower Show press day... The show, which has run annually since 1913 in the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea, is open to the public from 24-28 May. " This is GORGEOUS and I wish I were there right now! ## Credentials Presented At Buckingham Palace ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/05/GettyImages-534152918.jpg) Here, QEII meets with "Dr Rizal Sukma, the Ambassador from Indonesia, and his wife Hana Afija Satrijo." As ever, I love that they have coordinated for this visit. ## The Queen Celebrates 300 Years Of The Royal Artillery ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/05/GettyImages-534431386.jpg) Ahem: "The Queen stands in an open top Range Rover as she inspects weapons of the Royal artillery during a visit to Larkhill camp on Salisbury Plain as part of their 300th anniversary." Personally, if I were Queen, this is how I would roll up to EVERYTHING. Including, like, rolling up to Selfridge's to pick up a new packet of pantyhose or whatever. ## The Prince Of Wales And Duchess Of Cornwall Visit Ireland ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/05/GettyImages-534237914.jpg) Chaz and Cams are in Ireland right now, and this is Glenveagh National Park in Letterkenny. NOT TOO SHABBY. ## Zara Philips ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/05/GettyImages-534088518.jpg) Zara popped out to watch pro golf, looking casual, as one does. ## Barcelona v Sevilla - Copa del Rey Final ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/05/GettyImages-533487020.jpg) Felipe and Letiza ALSO went out to watch some soccerfootball this past weekend. ## Felipe and Letizia ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/05/GettyImages-534102014.jpg) It looks like they had a good time! ## Queen Letizia ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/05/GettyImages-533669844.jpg) I, in general, find Letizia a bit boring in terms of her wardrobe, but trust: I am ALWAYS into this fit-and-flare type dress on her. ## Queen Letizia attends the Opening of Madrid Book Fair ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/05/GettyImages-534658216.jpg) And this skirt is great. The top is a little balletic to me, but overall: a strong effort. ## Queen Letizia ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/05/GettyImages-534156500.jpg) But I will never NEVER sign off on those pants. (The shoes on the other hand? HELLO LOVERS.) ## Queen Mathilde ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/05/GettyImages-533776010.jpg) Am I crazy, or is this the best Queen Mathilde has looked in a long time? [Order of Splendor has a great shot of the dress, which is DVF](https://orderofsplendor.blogspot.com/2016/05/royal-duo-of-day-may-26.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). I love it on her. She looks so modern here. ## Jordan marks 70th Independence Day With Official Celebrations ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/05/GettyImages-534413372.jpg) Per Informative Caption, here Queen Rania "arrives with her family as they mark Jordan's 70th Independence Day." Does this skirt have some national significance, or is it a stylistic choice? It's very interesting. Tell me everything! [Royals Round-Up, May 27th, 2016So much to discuss today! Little Swedish Prince Oscar had his christening today, so we've got pictures from that, including my favorite dress on Crown Princess Mary EVER. We've also got hats! Dramatic gowns! Queens riding around sticking their heads out of sunroofs and looking at guns! So, you know. The usual. Earlier this week, we had plenty of royal shenanigans. In case you missed it: -- Wills and Kate and Harry went out to the Chelsea Flower Show, and so did half of their relatives. -- Wills and Kate popped out to one of the Buckingham Palace Garden Parties, and it was all Top Hats Ahoy! -- Also, if I may take a brief moment to self-promote, if you're looking for a book for your long weekend, may I suggest The Royal We if you haven't read it yet? I GUESS I JUST DID. And once June rolls around, prepare yourself: We will be knee-deep in royal doings, from Ascot to the Curly Feathered Joys of the Order of the Garter, to a bunch of random Kate engagements. ROYALS AHOY. Of interest elsewhere: -- At People, OH MY GOD. Remember how Heather and I saw the Fashioning a Reign exhibit when we were in Scotland, and it was awesome? The version that's going to be at Buckingham Palace this summer will have the Queen's coronation gown and her wedding dress. GO. GO AND REPORT BACK. -- Also at People, a very interesting look at the upcoming Season -- a phrase that feels so deliciously Downton. -- Prince Amedeo and Princess Elisabetta of Belgium had a baby and everyone looks happy and is cute. (Hello!) -- Also at Hello!, a retrospective of Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary's relationship. -- Fascinating at BBC: Elizabeth I dress: Altar cloth may be Queen's gown -- Whoa. Pippa just ran a marathon at the Great Wall of China and came in 13th of all women. DAMN. (InStyle) -- At Vanity Fair: Kate Middleton May Have Called Prince William “Babe”: What Does It Mean? Royals, they're just like us. -- The Duchess Kate blog has the latest on Kate's newest official portrait. -- And your social media bits of interest (scroll over the one from KP to get an opportunity to play the video.) .@fuggirls Observe the bad-assery of Queen Maxima's outfit, for it is swell. pic.twitter.com/5OnLMOcFoT — The Duchess Diary (@TheDuchessDiary) May 25, 2016 Here, mouse over to get the button to play this video: Thank you @landroverbar for the great footage of The Duchess taking to the waves with @BenAinslie and the team on the Solent!
