King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima

These are "celebrations marking the 200th anniversary of the kingdom of The Netherlands," and I love this dress of Maxima's -- we've seen it before -- and it's just like her to show up in a GIANT CRAZY WHIMSICAL HAT.

Crown Prince Frederik and Princess Mary of Denmark at a wedding

This is the "wedding of actress, Flora Montgomery to Soren Jessen" (a Danish restauranteur) in London. WHAT IS FRED WEARING? Mary and that bird on her head are pretending it's not even happening.

Queen Mathilde

Back to the 200 Years of The Netherlands. I hope Mathilde and Maxima had a convo about what brand of crazy hat they plan to wear. Maxi is all, "giant urban sombrero" and Mathi is all, "wacky head bandage."

2Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxembourg and Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg

And Maria Teresa of Luxembourg is all, "how about a WACKY structural thing that also gets DirectTV?" and everyone was all, "super, because it's the US Open right now!"

Queen Mathilde Of Belgium

Queen Mathilde had a big week this week, too -- here, she's taking Princess Elisabeth to schoo.

Crown Princess Victoria

Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden here attends the "Junior Water Prize Ceremony" and I don't know what that is, but I am supportive of her leaving the house more often, AND I quite like this dress, although the skirt might be looney, length-wise.

MAJOR show props, though. MAJOR.

Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden and Prince Daniel

Bonus points for intriguing neckwear. I am happy these two are out and about so much lately. See you guys at the Brunette Princess Party! (I'm going to be working the bar.)

The Prince Of Wales Visits HMS Duncan

This is, per Getty, a visit "to the French warship La Motte-Picquet," and goodness, everyone looks sharp! (The ship is in dock for the ongoing NATO summit, for which Charles also hosted a reception.)

Royals Round-Up, September 5th, 2014
I am very excited to inform you that summer is nearly over, and many people (MAXIMA!) are back to work, although things won't REALLY get going until next week (which will include, among other things, the reappearance of Harry and Kate and Wills). AND YET: This slideshow brings you HATS and CHILDREN and HIDEOUS WAISTCOATS and HATS AGAIN. ALSO: The Finale of I Wanna Marry Harry awaits thee! Elsewhere: The Royal Hats blog has an interesting look at Crown Princess Mette-Marit's new pillbox, which was recycled out of a whole other hat. It's like Inception with hats. It's Pierre Casiraghi's birthday and Hello has Facts and Photos. Wills and Kate went out last weekend and there were many reports, like this one from Vanity Fair, including details of what they ate (food!) and drank (drinks!) and wore (jeans!) and did (CANOODLED!) There are rumors that W&K will be taking a trip to China next year, which would be great fun for those of us tasked to covering it in detail (ME.) Harry turns 30 on September 15th (don't worry; we will celebrate as expected, with Goat), and the Telegraph has details of what he's going to inherit on this birthday. (Spoiler: a bunch of money from Diana's estate, and also her wedding dress, which...I assume he will just wear about the house?) History Extra has a very interesting look at Henry V this week. Here's Harry in his rugby gear. (And Hello! has a picture of him playing what they CALL rugby, but it's absolutely not: It's Wall Game, this wacky Etonian game where faces are shoved into walls. It's very entertaining and it plays a part in The Royal We.) Gizmodo has a fascinating and theoretical look at what could happen to the Union Jack should Scotland vote for independence. Great news! Our Twitter friends at The Duchess Diary now have a proper website! And it is a delight.
