In Which We Celebrate Princess Charlotte on Her 5th Birthday

In 2016, Royal watchers knew Princess Charlotte was a big personality wrapped in a tiny little cardigan when the Duchess of Cambridge carried her into a children’s party for military families in Canada. Before waving to all the cameras (a move that comes naturally to fourth-in-line, and one she’d give again and again), Charlotte wasted no time running towards the balloon display, eager to bang her little hands against this fascinating new toy.

Princess Charlotte is Every Woman Struggling With Her Cardigan

It’s the struggle each woman faces. And while she might yet not have her own account on Net-a-Porter, Princess Charlotte endured this struggle today at a children’s party for military families in Victoria, Canada.

What should I do with my cardigan/blazer/jacket?

Royal Tour of Canada, Day One: The Cambridges Arrive In Style

Watching live CTV coverage of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s arrival in Victoria, Canada was exciting AF.

Cheeeeeeese.

You have to hand it to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge for pulling off a fantastic photo op just as the media was finished tearing Prince William apart.

Many have accused the Duke of being “workshy,” and shirking his royal responsibilities in favor of spending time with his family at their Norfolk, England home.
