Oh my GOD, look at these little butterballs.
While Princess Charlene posed ever so elegantly, Princess Gabriella chewed on an ornament/apple and looked at something off camera…as you do.
Meanwhile, Prince Albert held Prince Jacques, who was likely in the middle of water color class when he was commanded to appear in the family’s 2015 Christmas card. [Read more…]

In 7th grade I asked a stylist to give me the “Rachel” cut, AND MY MOM ACTUALLY ALLOWED IT TO HAPPEN.
So when I read that the Duchess of Cambridge reportedly isn’t too “keen” on her bangs, I empathized.
According to The Sun, Catherine told friends that she’s not feeling the “mum fringe” celeb stylist Richard Ward created.
“I was a bit unsure about it,” Catherine allegedly admitted. “I call it my mum fringe.”
Word has it that the Queen has made “gentle suggestions” regarding Catherine’s hair ever since seeing her “glamour girl hair do” at Wimbledon. [Read more…]

She may do a lot of the work herself, but the Duchess of Cambridge has sought out sartorial help in the past few years.
Last December, it was revealed that Natasha Archer – or “Tash” as she’s known to Catherine & Co. (per the Daily Mail) – was hired as a personal assistant to the Kensington Palace team.
The Kings College graduate soon began advising on style, and was seen going into St. Mary’s Hospital in July 2013 after Prince George’s birth.

The Duchess of Cambridge loves making jam, and has been known to make a mean chicken roast. So, in the entrepreneurial spirit of Real Housewives everywhere, she’s turning it into a business.
According to the Mail on Sunday‘s Charlotte Griffiths, Catherine is “working on a plan to get the nation hooked on her wholesome organic food recipes.”
