Michelle Obama has become America’s latest national treasure, for she has divulged secrets of the royal family that her predecessors would have shrugged off as non-newsworthy soundbites.

It’s a well-known fact that Britain’s royal family would prefer the company of horses and dogs to humans, and several people close to the Queen have said that if she weren’t the sovereign, she’d be living a quiet life in the country.
In February, Prince William was accused of living like a “gentleman country farmer,” since he and the Duchess of Cambridge opt to spend a majority of their family life in Norfolk, 120 miles from London.
Prince Philip once famously said of his daughter, Princess Anne’s love for horses, “if it doesn’t fart or eat hay, then she isn’t interested.” [Read more…]
Today, His Royal Highness Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge issued an official statement in response to part two of Prince Harry’s interview with Good Morning America.
While speaking with journalist Robin Roberts, Harry admitted that he was looking forward to having children
“I can’t wait for the day. So, you know, it will be fantastic,” he told Roberts.
“I’ve got a kid inside of me. I want to keep that. I adore kids. I enjoy everything that they bring to the party. They just say what they think.”

Dear Diary,
It’s only February and already I regret not getting a Smythson.
Why on earth did I listen to James and get the gauche Hermes? I should have shopped local. Kept it British. Let George do the selecting instead.
What am I writing about? Right, the trip to Edinburgh for Place2Be and tennis fun with Andy’s mum.
Tash had my Sportmax coat neatly kept since I wore it on Christmas Day, so I paired that with a knit and a lovely skirt by Le Kilt.
Going north of the border is a bit of a buzz kill because of the title downgrade. No wonder Sophie cozies up to granny so often. “Countess” gets you nowhere, and it must be a dreadful cross to bear all the time. [Read more…]
The moment I saw the OK! Magazine cover, I knew it was only a matter of time before my mother asked, “Is Kate pregnant?”
As others in my field know, being asked about Catherine and pregnancy occurs on a weekly basis.

My answer never changes: Unless it’s confirmed by Kensington Palace via social media, the Duchess of Cambridge is not expecting. [Read more…]
I’m not one to promote PDA, and I usually make a face if in the presence of touchy-feely smug marrieds.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, however, are exempt from this sour attitude towards love because…well…theirs is the kind most of us only dream of having. [Read more…]

Good God in Heaven, some little girl had a Cinderella moment with an actual prince and didn’t bat an eyelash.
Years from now, she’ll gather new friends in her freshman dorm room and trade cans of beer for tales from “Harry and My Wellie: (Almost) A Love Story.”
The Fug Girls found this friggin’ delightful video of Prince Harry in Lancashire, England, where he thanked soldiers for their efforts in aiding villagers affected by major flooding. [Read more…]

Over the weekend, Australia’s New Idea dreamed up a relationship involving Prince Harry and his distant cousin, 19-year-old Princess Maria-Olympia (who goes by “Olympia”) of Greece and Denmark.
It was once common practice for royal cousins to marry one another, whether out of love or to form alliances.
Queen Victoria married her first cousin, Prince Albert; Elizabeth II and Prince Philip are third cousins.
The tabloid is quite certain that love hath blossomed for the new generation of royal blood. [Read more…]

A relatively long time ago in a land not-so-far away (Home Counties. Lovely area), a commoner named Catherine Elizabeth Middleton was born at the Royal Berkshire Hospital.
Fast-forward 34 years, andh ere we are, thanks to a clever mother and the kind of self-confidence people would trade their first-borns for.
The Duchess of Cambridge’s wasn’t necessarily a rags-to-riches tale, but it’s hard to imagine that her ancestors were poverty-stricken coal miners. [Read more…]
