I decided to just jam these two events together into one post because *why not*? We're all here. We can consider it a mini Royals Round-Up.

First off, Beatrice and her boyfriend who I mistrust for *literally* no real reason have finally announced their engagement; apparently they were betrothed in Italy last month. We've got the engagement pics -- snapped by Eugenie! -- in the slideshow and she does look gorgeous and happy, and her ring *and* her dress are lovely. ([It's this Zimmerman that I think looks better on a person than you'd think](https://rstyle.me/+IU14KPD-fyPe3xksxNxjSA?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).) Good luck and God bless! The wedding will be next year, and I'll be interested to see how much of a to-do it is in light of the competing facts that Andrew loves attention and that Andrew does not currently need/deserve any more attention.

As is her wont, Fergie is really hitting social media hard with her joy:

Second, Wills and Kate went to Birkenhead to christen a polar research ship, the RSS Sir David Attenborough, the ship that was *meant* to be named Boaty McBoatface. (Mr. McBoatface did eventually get his due, however.) I am disappointed to inform you that no one smashed a bottle of champagne over the bow directly, but Kate did get to push a button that, like, DEPLOYED champagne smashery. She's wearing a McQueen we've seen loads of times before over the last five years.

BOATY MCBOATFACE. Maybe *I'm* engaged to Boaty McBoatface:

I need to leave you with this:
