Historic honour for Queen Sofia and no one has done more to merit it than her

 

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.

The most talked about tiara of the year: why did Queen Camilla wear emeralds used by a royal bride?

 

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?

No one cuts a cake quite like Queen Camilla

 

There are several things that non royals never really need to master but that actual royals need to be really rather good at and cake cutting is one of them. Most of us slice into a sponge on birthdays or at Christmas and it doesn't actually matter if we smash the thing to pieces while carving it up and it ends up in jam covered crumbs on a plate. However, if you're royal, this simple task comes with added pressures. It must be done slowly enough for people to take photos but quickly enough not to bore them to tears and you have to make it look effortless. There is little doubt that Queen Camilla is the royal cake cutter to end them all.

A brand new royal baby and she's got a very medieval name

Queen Sofia remains the ultimate draw for the Spanish royal family

 It was the birthday of one of Spain's two queens but she wasn't the one getting the superstar treatment. As Queen Letizia turned 53 on September 15 2025, she was nowhere to be seen. But there were plenty of people who wanted to see her mother in law, Queen Sofia, who was given a superstar welcome on her latest appearance.

Could Belgium be about to get a new prince?

 

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.

Giorgio Armani created one of the most famous royal wedding dresses ever - and I think it's perfect

 

Princess Charlene of Monaco on her wedding day, July 2nd 2011

There was perhaps never more pressure on a royal bride to pick the perfect dress. When Charlene Wittstock married Prince Albert II of Monaco on July 2nd 2011, she wasn't just walking down the aisle and into royal life. She was wearing the dress that was a sequel to one of the best known royal wedding gowns ever. Charlene was choosing a dress to wear to become the Princess of Monaco - just as Grace Kelly had done 45 years earlier. That gown is a royal legend. Charlene's dress was always going to get a lot of attention. And so she went to a designer who was more than ready for a royal close up. Giorgio Armani, who has died at the age of 91, was the man who made one of the most famous royal wedding dresses of the 21st century.

Kate's back and yes, she really has gone (a bit) blonde

 

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.

I think it's obvious Elizabeth II was all for a big law change in her reign and the latest revelations don't alter that

 

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 back in the duchy whose name she shared for so long

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

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

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.

William and Kate join King Charles at Balmoral

 

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.

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.

Sophie to undertake hugely important tour for King Charles

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.
