Because her athletic prowess is as strong as her button game, Catherine suited up for a spin on the open seas with Sir Ben Ainslie and the Land Rover BAR team as they ran a training circuit ahead of the 2017 America’s Cup. [Read more…]
Good heavens!
JK, everyone calm down. It’s fine. The Duchess of Cambridge may or may not have confused fans last night at the Royal Windsor Horse Show when she paired a bohemian white lace Dolce & Gabbana dress with a red Zara cape coat.

First off, this coming Friday marks five years since the royal wedding.
To celebrate the union of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, it’s key that we remember moments leading up to and during the greatest live event of our time.
Fans (me) were insatiable when it came to wedding plans for April 29th, 2011.
Who would design Catherine’s dress? What would her and William’s titles be? Are there really going to be trees inside Westminster Abbey (my father’s question)? [Read more…]

It was a week jam-packed with visits, from feeding elephants to playing cricket and nearly everything in between.
It wasn’t a completely flawless trip – The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s press officers argued with the media about filming their Bhutanese hike, which highlighted their constance request for “private visits during the tour,” – but overall, it was success. [Read more…]
