Y'all, we have SO much to cover today. Max and Wax are in India, with glamorous results! Philippe and Mathilde (they need jaunty nicknames too. Maybe a portmanteau: Phililde? Mathilippe?) are visiting Luxembourg. The Queen came out and opened Parliament and looked very cranky about it. AND OTHER THINGS.

Wills and Kate finished up their trip to Pakistan, [and you can catch up with all of that here](https://www.gofugyourself.com/tag/royal-tour-wills-and-kate-pakistan?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

Oh, also Meghan and Harry came out this week for the WellChild awards, and[ she re-wore her engagement dress](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/meghan-repeats-her-engagement-announcement-dress-for-the-wellchild-awards-10-2019/)!

Other interesting things to divert you:

I enjoyed[ this piece about royal tour fashion](https://www.macleans.ca/royalty/william-and-kate-walk-the-fashion-line-between-diplomacy-and-dress-up/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), at Maclean's.

This was fun, at The Kitchn:[ I Ate Like a Member of the British Royal Family for a Week and Here’s What Happened](https://www.thekitchn.com/royal-family-food-queen-elizabeth-22942651??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Really interesting, at The Telegraph: [How Norman Hartnell changed royal fashion forever](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/fashion/royals/norman-hartnell-changed-royal-fashion-forever/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

I enjoyed this at Glamour: [A Brief History of Royals Wearing Denim](https://www.glamour.com/gallery/best-royal-denim-outfits?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

This is the content we want, at Marie Claire: [Prince Charles’s Former Harpist Anne Denholm Shares What It’s Like to Work for the Royal Family](https://www.marieclaire.com/celebrity/a29451262/prince-charles-anne-denholm-royal-harpist-interview-2019/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Harry and Meghan [filmed a documentary while they were in South Africa](https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/culture/story/prince-harry-meghan-open-documentary-life-spotlight-66330020?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io); it's airing in the US on October 23rd. It seems like they talk a bit about their current emotional state in it (although I assume the bulk of the doc is actually about the work they did in South Africa; the personal parts are always going to be what gets pulled to get people to watch it). Here's part of the teaser:

> "Not many people have asked if I’m ok ... it’s a very real thing to be going through behind the scenes."

I have huge sympathy for her -- I think marrying into the British Royal Family is probably culture shock, *at best*, under the best of circumstances, and these have been far from the best of circumstances for them; Harry, relatedly, seems to be having a lot of anxiety, which is covered in another teaser for this piece. I honestly would not be surprised if they chose to move to California, at least part time. (I understand why they married as quickly as they did -- and it was hugely romantic, of course -- but I also think they're *both* suffering from the fact that Meghan didn't really know what it would be like to be part of this family until after she'd already joined it. ) I will be interested to see how this goes over in the UK.

And, on social media:
