We bring you much to discuss today, Fug Nation! We've got patterns! We've got a random wedding with a great dress! There's cheese! There's a poorly done cape! There's drinking! There's pointing! There's Meghan in a very cute leather skirt! ENJOY.

Earlier this week:

[Meghan wore a purple dress](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/duchess-meghan-goes-for-purple-upon-this-day-10-2019/) (and we had muuuucccchhhhh discussion about the ITV doc).

We took a look at [Kate's entire wardrobe from the Pakistan trip](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/royal-tour-recap-kates-pakistan-fashion-10-2019/)!

And the new Japanese Emperor was enthroned and[ it was VERY interesting and also sparkly.](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/the-japanese-enthronement-was-very-glam-and-interesting-10-2019/)

And we got a new trailer for The Crown --[ A REAL ONE, at last.](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/we-finally-have-a-real-trailer-for-the-crown-10-2019/)

Elsewhere of potential interest:

There's a lot of interesting Catherine the Great stuff coming out in advance of the HBO/Helen Mirren miniseries. At T&C: [Grigory Potemkin and Catherine the Great Have One of History's Greatest Love Stories](https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/a29355163/grigory-potemkin-catherine-the-great-affair-true-story/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

And, at Jezebel, [this great interview with the program's costume designer, Maja Meschede.](https://themuse.jezebel.com/dressing-catherine-the-great-1839241666?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Also at Jezebel, this story has been getting a lot of play on the internet but they don't mention that, uh, Diana's stepmother was....very mean. Having said that, you shouldn't push people down the stairs: [Princess Diana Once Shoved Her Stepmother Down a Flight of Stairs](https://jezebel.com/princess-diana-once-shoved-her-stepmother-down-a-flight-1839311548?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

If you think things are dramatic for the British Royal Family right now -- and THEY ARE! -- check this out: [Thai king strips 'disloyal' new royal consort of title](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-thailand-king/thai-king-strips-disloyal-new-royal-consort-of-titles-idUSKBN1X01GA?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)s. \[Reuters\]

I am surprised to be linking to Ask a Manager in Royals Round-Up [AND YET this week it was pertinent](https://www.askamanager.org/2019/10/is-wet-hair-unprofessional-i-got-in-trouble-for-photographing-the-royal-family-and-more.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

Even [the BBC is getting into this Harry/William thing](https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-50154033?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Just two years ago, Heather and I were saying to each other that the BRF had gotten boring. WELL. Boring no more, if nothing else.

Prince Andrew continues to be gross -- but I[ did enjoy that someone speaking out about him is GFY regular...Lady Victoria Hervey](https://pubx.co/QGvqr6?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). GO LADY VIC! \[Lainey\]

And, over on social media:

This is NEAT:

> Elizabeth I has returned to [#HamptonCourtPalace](https://twitter.com/hashtag/HamptonCourtPalace?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). To coincide with [#TheLostDress](https://twitter.com/hashtag/TheLostDress?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) display, [@pastpleasures1](https://twitter.com/pastpleasures1?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) have recreated Elizabeth’s dress in the famous Rainbow Portrait. With meticulous research & hand-stitching, they've crafted an accurate representation.

I LOVE this dress on Kate. ([It's this LK Bennett](https://www.lkbennett.com/product/CDGABRIELLESILKMIXMultiToffee%20Black~Gabrielle-Coral-Print-Midi-Dress-Black?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).)
