Will and Kate did a tour of Scotland Generally, I'm not super interested in the second to second goings-on of royal tours. They are perfectly nice, but they are usually also INCREDIBLY controlled. So it's not a ton of fun to write about. Will and Kate did a tour of Scotland to coincide with Will's … Continue reading Weekly Royal Roundup
Meghan’s Mirror might have put Meghan in a sticky situation
For those who are unfamiliar with the website Meghan's Mirror, here is the Coles Notes: it provides almost instant IDs of Meghan's outfits when she makes appearances; it has a complete archive of Meghan's Instagram and The Tig posts; and it has #MirrorMegs, which are fashion options for people who want to emulate Meghan's style … Continue reading Meghan’s Mirror might have put Meghan in a sticky situation
Did Meghan try to upstage the Cambridges with this “unauthorized” photo of her and Archie?

(Mother's Day in Canada and the United States is in May). Royals marked the occasion with posts on social media, per usual. Here … Continue reading Weekly Royal Roundup
Harry and Meghan Q&A Session!
Any insight into why H&M don't see value in keeping family squabbles private? Aren't they doing what M's dad did--selling family relationship to press? I think this goes back to a point that was argued in Meghan's privacy trial over the letter to her father that Associated Newspapers bought and published. It was claimed by … Continue reading Harry and Meghan Q&A Session!

It's official. This morning (afternoon London time), Buckingham Palace released the following statement on Harry and Meghan's status as working members of the British Royal Family: Harry and Meghan's people were quick to put out a statement that was, in diplomatic terms, "a bit sharp": The patronages lost by either or both Harry and Meghan … Continue reading Breaking: Harry and Meghan are officially out of the royal family, have been stripped of patronages
