Canadian author Margaret Atwood isn’t impressed with the Duchess of Cambridge, and thinks she’s failing to follow in the fashion footsteps of her late mother-in-law, Diana, Princess of Wales.
“I think she dresses quite uneventfully,” Atwood said, according to the Daily Mail. “I think she’s watching her back, I think she probably has people who pretty much tell her what is appropriate for her to wear.” [Read more…]
As my nana says, “nothing beats new life!”
What’s cuter than perusing photos of little royal whipper snappers throughout history who had no clue about their standing in this great big world.
These kids exude the whole “zero f**** give” mantra better than anyone I’ve ever met.

A few days ago I decided I would not go another day without trying to recreate one of Kate’s up dos. Knowing myself and the amount of tries that would lead to me sobbing into a $4 bottle of wine, I called on celebrity hair stylist Jonathan Colombini. Why? Because he knows what he’s doing, and he likes British television (the latter wasn’t exactly a pre-requisite, but isn’t that wonderful?)
Colombini is responsible for making Laura Prepon, Fergie and AnnaLynne McCord look hot-to-trot, and my hope is that he’ll one day work on Kate’s hair and confirm that it smells like lavender and loves a good G&T.
Ok. Up dos. Kate. Let’s do this: [Read more…]

After a pregnant pause, Prince George tells his grandfather that none of this matters and we’re all going to have to live on some other planet where the weather is twice as bad and there are no palaces to separate subjects from royalty. [Read more…]
In what will be her last set of engagements before welcoming Prince or Princess Alexandra/Charlotte/Alice/Philip/Spencer/Edward, the Duchess of Cambridge made sure that her greatest asset was on point.
And on point, it was. I don’t know if it’s the work of Amanda Cook Tucker, Richard Ward, Rossano Ferretti or a group of angels, but those curls were full of life. There was bounce, there was shine, there was volume. It. All. Worked. [Read more…]
London-based Dave Benett has been photographing celebrities and royalty since the eighties. While he initially stuck to news and sports when he started his career in the 1970s, Benett moved on to the highly entertaining world of the London party scene.
Benett told HELLO! that reps laid out the ground rules before giving him the go-head to snap their clients. “They said, ‘You have eight seconds to photograph them’, and that’s what we did. And they’re giggling and laughing and having a great time.”
His secret? [Read more…]

I’ve always admired Zara Phillips as much as I do her mother, The Princess Royal, who refused titles for both her children when they were born so that they could live as normal lives as possible.
Because of that, both Phillips and her older brother, Peter, have carved out lucrative careers as private citizens. They are, however, still in line to the throne as grandchildren of the Queen; Peter is 12th and Zara is 15th.

There’s Ascot, Cheltenham and Glorious Goodwood, but those races pale in comparison to one that determines the name and sex of royal baby #2.
According to Huffington Post UK, British betting firm Ladbrokes put on the first ever Barkingham Palace Gold Cup, showcasing ten corgis with names like Camilla, Spencer, James, Victoria, and Alexandra who would compete for the title. [Read more…]
