Weird cake toppers! Hats! Gowns! Tiaras! Ceremonial ensembles! Kate's beige patent LK Bennett heels, albeit not on Kate (whom I assume is still sitting on the sofa at home yawning with her hair in a ponytail while the baby tries to stick priceless artifacts in his mouth)! Fatigues! A question about cows! Additionally, big thanks to those of you who recommended [*The Heir Apparent: A Life of Edward VII, the Playboy Prince*](https://www.amazon.com/Heir-Apparent-Edward-Playboy-Prince/dp/1400062551/ref=sr%5F1%5F1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1399593102&sr=1-1&keywords=the+heir+apparent&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) in the comments last week. I'm reading it right now, and it's fascinating and excellent. Queen Victoria comes across like a total pain in the bustle. Read it so we can discuss! For your reading pleasure elsewhere: \-- The Memphis Wedding that Harry and William attended last weekend sounds like quite a party. [The Telegraph's story uses the word "twerking" ](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/prince-harry/10808038/Prince-Harry-twerks-as-Prince-William-sings-in-crazy-night-at-Guy-Pellys-wedding.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)and apparently William got up on stage and sang, which we know he has a tendency to do, both[ from that time he got up and sang with Bon Jovi ](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/fugs-fabs-and-fines-of-the-winter-whites-gala-11-2013/)and also from that scene [in the amazing/boring Wills and Kate Lifetime movie I recapped three years ago](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/fug-the-fromage-william-and-kate-04-2011/), and stumbled upon yesterday when I was looking for something else. (If you are bored, a re-read may prove entertaining.) William apparently really had a good time. He likes a good wedding. \--[*People* has an excellent recap of the weekend's shenanigans. ](https://www.people.com/people/package/article/0,,20395222%5F20813529,00.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)You know I love how *People* always tells us what people ate at every turn. Thank you for indulging me, *People.* \-- Although [Wills looks a bit cranky at Graceland](https://www.hellomagazine.com/royalty/2014050318566/prince-william-prince-harry-princess-beatrice-princess-eugenie-graceland/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), probably because (a) the press were everywhere in Memphis and it was *insane* (b) one of girls they're visiting Graceland with seems like a pain (she's not in those photos, but I saw snaps where she's pretending she's going to flash the paparazzi her bra; like, calm down, sister, you're not helping), (c) *People*, as seen above, reported that he ate nachos on his lay-over and now Kate knows he's cheating on his diet, and (d) everyone got to wear Elvis glasses but him. Heavy is the head that wears the crown eventually. \-- [*Hello!* also has loads of snaps of the weekend](https://www.hellomagazine.com/royalty/2014050418572/prince-william-harry-guy-pelly-wedding/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). So many snaps. \-- [William took economy for part of the trip](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2621361/Prince-William-flies-economy-class-journey-home-American-wedding.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Can you imagine trundling onto that plane and stumbling past him? I would have been like, "HI I JUST HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS DO YOU MIND?" (That's from *The Daily Mail I KNOW)* \-- The Express thinks [that part of the Cressy/Harry bust-up stems from...one of the new shows on Bravo this season.](https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/473933/Reality-TV-show-row-behind-Prince-Harry-and-Cressida-Bonas-split?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) ANDY COHEN STRIKES AGAIN! \-- Tom Sykes over at the *Daily Beast* has a very interesting piece theorizing [that part of the reason for the break-up was a discussion about Cressida's red sneakers](https://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/05/05/who-would-want-to-be-a-royal-princess-not-cressida-bonas.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \-- and what they represent. (There's more to it than that; it's an interesting read, in part about how Kate is very skilled at picking her battles in a way that another person might not be.) \-- Prince George [is getting a flower named after him](https://www.royalcentral.co.uk/cambridges/prince-george-to-be-honoured-at-chelsea-flower-show-29598?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). AS WELL HE SHOULD. The Grand Snugglenoodle SquashyThigh Rose. (Royals Central) \-- Speaking of babies, [Mike Tindall took baby Mia out onto the rugby pitch](https://www.hellomagazine.com/royalty/2014050418575/mike-tindall-baby-mia-rugby-game/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) and if you're interested in muscular sportsmen toting infants, this is for you. (Hello!) \-- The Court Jeweller counts down [ten of the world's "maddest tiaras."](https://thecourtjeweller.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-top-ten-maddest-tiaras.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) And it's so fun. \-- Tatler has a piece about [fabulous outfits at British racing events](https://www.tatler.com/news/articles/may/racings-best-turned-out?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), which I am sticking here and not in Fugs & Pieces because half of the mentioned are royals. There's a shot of Diana looking delighted and Charles looking cranky as hell; he must have lost some cashola. I LOVE old photos of people at the races! So very many hats. (Tatler) \-- And speaking of Royal Ascot,[ Pippa's penned a guide for *Vanity Fair.* ](https://www.vanityfair.com/society/2014/06/pippa-middleton-photos-royal-ascot?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)I am surprised that she only went for the first time LAST year, though I guess Kate has NEVER been, sooo. Anyway, it's rather fun and instructional. To wit: "one of the most entertaining parts of Royal Ascot is spotting the extraordinary hats, which last year included everything from a serving of Mr. Whippy 99 Flake ice cream to a full English breakfast to a fanciful turban, a three-tiered cake, a macaroon stand, and a black swan."
