    Yes, we may have been more than a little excited at the prospect of tea towels bearing the name “Hermione, Countess of Muggleton.”  Instead, we took the high road and chose not to believe Woman’s Day‘s claims that Emma Watson and Prince Harry had been on “secret dates.” This morning, Watson gently put those rumors…

    ByKelly February 21, 2015October 27, 2024

    I first noticedk Duchess of Cambridge’s penchant for an impeccably tailored bit of magic in June 2011, when Catherine visited Victoria Barracks in a navy Alexander McQueen coat.   Ranking the coats was a challenge, and it’s difficult not to review my decisions time and time again.  There are those that didn’t make the cut, which…

    9 Kids Who Had No Regard For Royal Protocol

    ByKelly February 4, 2015June 1, 2021

    This is why I love walkabouts. Kids are hoping for a Disney princess in a glittering gown, but instead they get a regular — albeit lovely — woman with beautiful hair wearing a nice-looking coat. 1. This little lady in red. View image | gettyimages.com

    ByKelly February 1, 2015February 25, 2020
