Last Friday’s premiere of “Emily in Paris” on Netflix might have been nothing like Kate’s royal trip to the city of lights in 2017 (for one, I don’t think Patricia Fields, the show’s costume designer, edited HRH’s wardrobe). And yet, here I am flipping through a few of Kate’s looks and thinking how, like any…
There are certain moments when we are reminded that kings and queens can also be grandparents, and Queen Silvia of Sweden did just that last week. Her Majesty was watching the equestrian jumping event during the 2016 Rio Olympics with King Carl XVI Gustaf and the Dutch royals. Wanting to capture some of the highlights…
Just because William and Catherine sat this round out doesn’t mean that other royals were going to watch the Summer Games from the comfort of their homes. Queen Maxima packed up her chicest summer pieces, as well as orange pants for her husband, and brought her family to her native South America (Her Majesty originally hails…
Gin is a very British spirit, and one yours truly loves to enjoy as soon as the clock strikes gin o’clock. Imagine my delight when hotel and travel site Rebecca Recommends showed me a cocktail from The Goring Hotel’s summer bar. Which is a gin garden. With sheep. And hills of heather and wildflowers.

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…

Today, before they returned home to Prince George and Princess Charlotte, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge payed tribute to the late Princess of Wales in Agra, India. In February 1992, Diana had taken a solo picture on the same bench William and Catherine sat on today. Just months later, she and Prince Charles would…
Gang’s all here! The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived in Bhutan this morning after making one helluva landing. Paro International Airport, nestled in the Himalayan Mountains, is considered one of the most challenging airports in the world, and for that reason only eight pilots are qualified to land. William and Catherine were invited into…
This is friggin’ precious. Day 4 of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s India tour was easily the most entertaining, because BABY ELEPHANTS and BABY RHINOS. The morning kicked off with an open-air drive around Kaziranga National Park, a World Heritage site.
It’s just past 5am in in New Delhi, and here I am on Eastern Time writing up the happenings from day 3 of the royal tour. I think my favorite dress from the tour so far is Catherine’s Temperley London “Desdemona” lace dress, worn for a lunch meeting today with the Prime Minister in New…
