Queen Sofia made royal history when she became the first queen consort to be given one of Spain's highest honours. She was given the Toison d'Or by her son, King Felipe VI, as the country marked half a century of modern monarchy. And no one could argue that Sofia is a very worthy recipient indeed.
It's the tiara everyone is talking about. And, let's be honest, no one expected this to be the royal gem statement of the year. But, here we are. Queen Camilla wore an emerald and diamond tiara that was given to the Royal Family by a very wealthy widow with no descendants. Oh, and it's only been seen in public once before. When it was worn by a royal bride whose name then got attached to it. And, let's face it, Camilla just blew that one out of the water. See why everyone is talking about it now?
The Crown of the Empress Eugenie was found beneath the Louvre after it was briefly stolen from the Paris museum in a heist that saw priceless gems taken.
She was the royal bride who came complete with popular nickname and now Fergie is going back to her origins. Prince Andrew is giving up his titles and so is his former wife. As of October 17 2025, the woman who was a duchess of York for almost four decades is Sarah Ferguson again.

The Queen chose blue, the First Lady chose yellow and put those two together and you can't not see something. Namely, the colours of the flag of Ukraine.
There's one word and that word is stunning. With just minutes to go until the US State Banquet, William and Kate did the royal version of 'get ready with me for' and the Princess of Wales won.
The US First Lady might just have beaten The Queen at a game she's used to winning - ultimate hat. Melania Trump chose a striking purple hat which had enough fashion forward thinking to put it at the head of the hat stakes.
The Duke of Kent and his children were surrounded by family as they said a final farewell to the Duchess of Kent.
The flowers on the coffin of the Duchess of Kent had a deep significance that represented her own passions and her royal life. As the Royal Family bade a final farewell to the Duchess, her coffin was adorned with beautiful blooms that told her life story in the prettiest way.

The Belgian king got the summer off from problems with his family but that was then and this is now. Philippe's far from quiet and retiring younger brother, Prince Laurent, has just given gossip columnists enough to talk about until Christmas with the revelation that he had a son with a previous partner before he married. And as that son, now 25, talks it raises the question of whether Belgium could be about to get a new prince.

It was the pressing question that ended the royal summer. Has the Princess of Wales gone a little bit blonder? The answer was revealed today as Kate started up royal engagements again. Absolutely, yes. What's more, it absolutely suits her.
When you're the longest reigning monarch in British history and feted internationally as one of the most successful leaders your country has ever produced, a change that makes it more likely one of your female descendants will get the same chances as you seems a no brainer. Which is why I think the latest headlines about Elizabeth II being ''lukewarm'' about the new succession laws that gave women equal rights with men are well off the mark.
Queen Camilla was back in Cornwall as her royal diary got well and truly under way for a new season. And she packed plenty in during a day spent in the county whose name she shared for so long.

The Royal Family always went all in on the full Scottish feel at Balmoral and now Queen Camilla has confirmed that she's keeping with the regal programme.

It's been quite the summer for the off licence nearest to Gatcombe Park, home of Princess Anne. Hot on the heels of celebrations for the engagement of the Princess' son, Peter Phillips, to Harriet Sperling, came news that Mr. Anne has been given a royal promotion by her brother, King Charles. A summer of sparkle indeed for the household of the Princess Royal.
A car once driven by Queen Elizabeth II has sold at auction. And the final price was more than double the estimate.
Spain's royals usually don't get through the summer without some kind of controversy and this year, it seems particularly avoidable. King Felipe and Queen Letizia are just starting three days of visits to areas affected by wildfires but there are plenty of cries of too little, followed by too late.
In case you missed it (and how?), Taylor Swift is engaged to Travis Kelce and we have royal approval. The most famous soon to be weds in the world did the 2025 thing and announced their big news with a joint Instagram post. And the royals they love to hang out with sent congratulations in exactly the same way.
The thing about royals having their own social media is that they get to control the narrative. Yes, you have to be on it and make sure the story you're telling is worth hearing and that can be hard. But it also provides open goals and if you're smart, like Queen Mary of Denmark, you take them. Hence Mary's Disney Princess phase.
Queen Mary's gone carefree and so have I. Usually I look for a smart headline for a piece I want to write but seeing Mary kick off her shoes and run through the sand while on an actual royal engagement means it's time for a rule change. The title says it all. I just love this.

Reached for the sensible shoes to match the weather.
William and Kate are in Balmoral for their Scottish summer holiday. The Prince and Princess of Wales were spotted arriving at church as the Royal Family came together for its annual gathering at the estate.

Queen Camilla in exile? It would be funny if such a silly rumour hadn't suddenly taken on such interest. An online video suggesting The King and Queen had fallen out and Charles had now booted Camilla out has led to a surge in queries about whether Her Majesty is out on her regal ear. The answer is absolutely not.
Princess Anne is the star of a new portrait and it's been taken for a very special reason. The Princess Royal turns 75 in just a few days' time and so there's a birthday photo. And it's very sparkly.
