A magazine cover this significant could not have come at a better time. Just a few days after the horrible mass shooting that took 49 innocent lives in Orlando, Florida, the Duke of Cambridge has made history by covering the July issue of Attitude, the first royal to ever cover a LBGTQ magazine. HRH met…
Since she and Prince William traveled to Northern Ireland today, the couple were known as the Baron and Barroness of Carrickfergus (just like that lovely blond in The Sound of Music). The trip took them to a garden party at Hillsborough Castle in Belfast, Northern Ireland, which – according to the Daily Mail – is…
It’s one of the most famous races in the world, and nothing was going to keep patrons from attending what is arguably the most British activity ever – Royal Ascot. Also known as watching horses race while drinking champagne and wearing fancy hats. Day one saw a downpour of UK proportions come down upon racegoers,…
The June 12th shooting of 49 people inside Orlando, Florida’s Pulse night club is the worst mass shooting in U.S. history. As families and friends of the victims, LGBTQ+ allies and strangers alike mourn the tragedy, royal families across Europe have publicly sent their condolences to the country. Prior to attending a garden party in…
The Most Noble Order of the Garter is Britain’s oldest Order of Chivalry, and it only includes 24 members, plus the Sovereign. Today, I wondered when (or perhaps even if) Harry would be invited into the order, which was started in 1348 by King Edward III.

Maybe the best,” she wrote, describing the coat as “magical” and the overall look as…
As the rest of the audience sat quietly (I think) in the rows of St. Paul’s Cathedral, Prince Harry made the Duchess of Cambridge giggle. And it was great. One thing to know about the royal family is that they love when things go wrong at formal events.
Well, this is an interesting development. Though her mother went in 2011 as a guest of the Queen, the Duchess of Cambridge has never attended Royal Ascot, though to be one of the most significant days in the British calendar. According to royal reporter Katie Nicholl, William and Catherine will attend this year’s race as a sort…
Hurrah! We haven’t seen these Robinson Pelham acorn earrings since 2011’s royal wedding! On this rainy Monday, the Great and the Good gathered at Windsor Castle for the Order of the Garter service, the oldest and most senior Order of Chivalry in Britain, according to the monarchy’s website.
Hear ye, hear ye. The Duchess of Cambridge has left her lace and other recyclable couture at home for SportsAid’s 40th anniversary dinner at Kensington Palace. Join me, won’t you, as I celebrate a new number by Roland Mouret so regal (blue) and so elegant that it deserves pride of place in “Gorgeous Royal Ball Gowns” (coming…
