First off, in case you missed it, [we had some Prince Harry earlier this week,](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/your-afternoon-man-prince-harry-3-10-2014/) although this slideshow ALSO has EVEN MORE Prince Harry for you. It also brings you HATS and TIARAS and SHEEP and SANDWICHES and WEIRD STATUES HUGGING.

Elsewhere of interest, can I direct you to the following?

- At said Victoria/George's Cross event, [Prince Harry met (as one of you pointed out in the comments) the man who got shot three times during Princess Anne's kidnapping attempt in the 70s](https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/529124/Prince-Harry-Princess-Anne-Kidnap-Mall-Victoria-George-Cross-event?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \-- which is quite a story in and of itself. (The Express)
- *Vanity Fair* says that one of [Kate's personal assistants has taken over styling her](https://www.vanityfair.com/online/daily/2014/10/kate-middleton-stylist-natasha-archer?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), hence the slightly saucier looks of late. Katie Nicholl writes, "The Duchess, who is around 14-weeks pregnant with her second baby, wants to be seen as on-trend and fashion forward, and doesn’t want to look older than her age." WE'LL BE THE JUDGE OF THAT, KATE. (Hat tip to [our friends at What Kate Wore](https://whatkatewore.com/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) to tipping us off to this particular info.)
- You definitely want to see[ snaps of the state banquet celebrating W-A and Maxima's trip to Japan](https://www.hellomagazine.com/royalty/2014103021662/queen-maxima-king-willem-alexander-japan-state-banquet/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). There are gowns and tiaras! (Hello!)
- Also at *Hello!* [Princess Madeleine shared a photo of her new baby, Leonore,](https://www.hellomagazine.com/royalty/2014102721598/princess-madeleine-pumpkin-picture-leonore/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) at a pumpkin patch, if you like babies and/or pumpkins.
- This *Vanity Fair* article is old -- from 2011 -- and you may have seen it already, as it was linked in the comments last week. But if you didn't, it's[ FASCINATING and juicy, all about Blenheim Palace and the Duke of Marlborough ](https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2011/06/blenheim-palace-201106?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)(who died last week, hence the discussion).
- Full disclosure: I am about to link to the *Daily Mail (I know).* But you will want, at the very least, to see [these photos of Princess Margaret (and others) in Dior (and also the aforementioned Blenheim Palace again)](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/you/article-2806424/How-really-dress-princess-Sixty-years-ago-high-society-fell-love-Dior.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) in this article about the 1954 Dior fashion show.
- The Royal Digest[ took a look at Oscar de la Renta and the royals](https://theroyaldigest.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/royal-rewind-royals-oscar-de-la-renta.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), including some GREAT ensembles of Crown Princess Mary's.
- Our friends at [The Duchess Diary talks tartans](https://theduchessdiary.com/2014/10/like-duchess-tartan/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). I LOVE tartan. (I may have bought a [Black Watch dress on Boden ](https://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens-Dresses/Work/WH703/Womens-Isla-Dress.html?NavGroupID=4&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)simply because it reminded me of that McQueen Coat of Kate's and I don't regret it, because it's super cute.)
- We have [new details about the upcoming Swedish royal wedding!](https://www.thecourtjeweller.com/2014/10/swedish-royal-wedding-news.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (It's set for June, the same day at Trooping the Color, which means...I guess I'm working that day. Also: who will the Brits send? QUESTIONS! Our friends at TCJ predict it will be Sophie and Edward, which I agree with.) It's all VERY interesting. (The Court Jeweller)
- This is also very interesting indeed. Let me tease you with the lede of this piece: "Last January I stepped down from my position as a scribe and illuminator to Her Majesty the Queen to focus completely on my fine art. Before I close that particular portfolio [I thought it would be a good idea to talk a little about the work I did for those here, who may not be familiar with this particular art associated with the Crown](https://royalcentral.co.uk/royalhistory/the-queens-former-scribe-discusses-royal-letters-patent-38811?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)." It's totally fascinating. (Royal Central)
