GQ has placed Prince Philip, the man who dutifully walks two paces behind his wife and long ago pledged to be her “liege man of life and limb,” at #12 on their best-dressed list, making him the sharpest royal in the entire family.

The Mountbatten-Windsor patriarch beat out his grandson, Prince Harry, who landed the 38th spot, according to the Telegraph. [Read more…]

18 Goals Prince George Hopes to Accomplish in 2016

One has just received Prince George’s New Year’s resolution list, and it’s…ambitious. That’s not to say it’s not doable, but one admires His Royal Highness for the goals he sets forth.

May I present, George of Cambridge’s goals:

In 7th grade I asked a stylist to give me the “Rachel” cut,  AND MY MOM ACTUALLY ALLOWED IT TO HAPPEN.

So when I read that the Duchess of Cambridge reportedly isn’t too “keen” on her bangs, I empathized.

According to The Sun, Catherine told friends that she’s not feeling the “mum fringe” celeb stylist Richard Ward created.

“I was a bit unsure about it,” Catherine allegedly admitted.  “I call it my mum fringe.”

Word has it that the Queen has made “gentle suggestions” regarding Catherine’s hair ever since seeing her “glamour girl hair do” at Wimbledon. [Read more…]

9 Times Kate Middleton Looked Absolutely Horrified

You’ve done it.  You’ve up and offended the future consort of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth realms, and now you must sit in time-out.

12 Times Prince George Regretted His Outfit Choices

Each day, His Royal Highness, Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge, puts another X on the “Days ‘Til I’m a King Like Simba” calendar. Then he probably sticks Legos into his little sister’s ear to see if it will come out on the other side. After that he’ll do the same thing to Louis.

Now, let’s go inside the mind of a young gentleman to discover what he really thinks of those outfits.

Pippa Middleton Writes Another Out-of-Touch Story, Does Her Image No Favors

I’ve tried to defend her against critics, but there’s only so much one can do when faced with a Workouts 101 story that belongs in an era when physical fitness was a brand new concept.

The Daily Mail had a whale of a time mocking Pippa Middleton‘s Waitrose Column on working out, where she doled out gems like “Working harder will increase your metabolic rate, not only during exercise but for a few hours after too,” and “Regular power walks at a moderate-to-high intensity will give you those wonderful endorphins – invaluable to staying positive and crunching calories.”

Prince Philip Drops an F-Bomb, Remains My Favorite Royal

If there is anyone who can say whatever he wants without the need for an apology, it’s the Duke of Edinburgh.  The man has earned his right to tell you when you’re dragging your feet.

Famous for his “gaffes,” Prince Philip, 94, has long been criticized for saying exactly what’s on his mind, regardless of whether or not it offends his company.  In fact, royal reporter Phil Dampier put together a delightful book of Philip’s zingers.  Philip is hilariously irreverent, and very smart, to boot.

Let’s not forget that this guy was born into a broken family, shipped off to different royal relatives around Europe and never once publicly complained.  He has served as a Naval officer, was a total dish in his day, and has always, always respected his wife. [Read more…]

People Send ITV Editor Tom Bradby Nasty Tweets Thinking He’s Tom Brady

Tom Bradby seems like a lovely bloke.  He is ITV’s political editor, an accomplished author, and a friend of the Duke of Cambridge.   Bradby is so lovely, diplomatic and trustworthy that the Duke and his then-fiance, Catherine Middleton chose him for their only engagement interview on November 16th, 2010.

Bradby and William met in 2005 when the journalist was working as a royal correspondent, and William needed to borrow some video equipment for a project.  Their friendship was an odd one, only because the royal family and royal reporters aren’t usually friends. [Read more…]

Remember when we all thought April was the busiest royal month?  What a lark!  Here’s what else you missed whilst wondering how Charlotte’s bonnet was put on upside down (it looked normal to me).
