I just love this 80s inspired royal wedding dress and you will too

 

We know the 80s are back but now we have royal proof and I'm loving it. Princess Marie-Caroline of Liechtenstein, who was born in the mid 90s, got married in Vaduz in a dress that might have come straight from a Kate Bush video.

Yes, Princess Anne's husband really did get a royal promotion

 

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.

Queen Letizia face to face with criticism. Again

 

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.

Taylor Swift gets engaged and Kate sends very 21st century congratulations

Queen Mary goes Disney princess in her latest move

 

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.

I'm just loving the queen who went barefoot in the sand

 

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.

This future queen just wore trainers on a royal engagement and I am totally here for it

 

There's something instantly relatable about Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden's latest style decision. She turned up for a big jubilee party in a gorgeous cream coloured suit only to find herself in the middle of a hail storm. And so she did what many of us have done. Reached for the sensible shoes to match the weather.

The misfortune of Anne Neville

 

Richard III usually gets plenty of attention on the anniversary of his death, August 22nd. Whether he ever offered his kingdom in exchange for a horse is lost to the mists of time. Sadly, too, is much of the nuance of the story of his wife, Anne Neville. Anne was briefly Queen of England but her husband packed so much drama into his short reign that there's barely a whisper of Anne whenever his tale is told. I have to say I have always found Anne rather fascinating and rather sad in some ways. So my focus, on this anniversary of the Battle of Bosworth, is the misfortune of Anne Neville.

No, Queen Camilla is not in exile - it's silly season gone mad

 

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.
