Princess Leonor

I have been closely following Princess Leonor’s final stage of military training at the General Air Force Academy for weeks, and I can tell you that she is currently undergoing one of the most demanding phases of her entire journey through the three branches of the armed forces. This phase in San Javier is neither symbolic nor purely theoretical. This is where endurance, focus, and discipline are put to the test – precisely what she will need as the future head of the Armed Forces. And yes, her current schedule is nothing like what we usually see at official events.…

Meghan Markle's Letter to Her Father

Something is stirring in the air around the Sussexes. After a long and highly publicized estrangement, Meghan Markle reconnected with her father, Thomas Markle, upon learning that he had undergone an emergency amputation. The news broke a few days ago and, unsurprisingly, raised many questions about Meghan’s reaction and the severity of her father’s medical condition. How did Meghan manage to contact Thomas Markle? According to Meghan’s spokesperson, she made several calls, sent emails that never arrived, and searched hospitals in the Philippines before finally locating him and sending him a letter. “With the support of reliable and trusted contacts,…

Princess Victoria’s Style at the 2025 Nobel Prize Ceremony

Every year, I follow the Nobel Prize ceremony with the same curiosity. I know it’s a solemn event, but I also know that the Swedish royals use this stage to showcase some of their most memorable choices. And this year, Princess Victoria once again reminded us why her style is so widely discussed. She didn’t resort to anything new or experimental. Instead, she did something that has become a hallmark of her style: she opened Queen Silvia’s wardrobe and selected a piece with history. Why did Victoria choose a dress from her mother? The heiress appeared in a pearl-gray Jacques…

This year, the Chassé Theater in Breda once again resonated with music, thanks to performances by hundreds of schoolchildren and the participation of artists such as Simon Keizer, Hannah Mae, Karin Bloemen, and Ammar.

What outfit did…

Queen Letizia’s Style at the Cervantes Institute Meeting

Each time Queen Letizia attends the annual meeting of the Instituto Cervantes, she makes it clear that she understands the symbolic weight of this event. This year, held at the Royal Palace of Aranjuez, was no exception. The mother of Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia once again opted for a look that embodies the essence of the institution: understated, meticulously crafted, and effortlessly elegant. What exactly was Queen Letizia wearing? For this occasion, she chose a Carolina Herrera blouse with jacquard initials, a piece that speaks volumes on its own. She paired it with black pants, a Hugo Boss belt,…

Prince William Celebrates 20 Years With Centrepoint

Today, I want to reflect on an anniversary that speaks volumes about Prince William’s character. It’s been two decades since he decided to join Centrepoint, the British organization that works with young people experiencing homelessness. It was his first official sponsorship, a step he took in 2005, following in the footsteps of Princess Diana, who had supported the organization since 1992. William was very young at the time, but he already knew he wanted to get truly involved: he spent days volunteering and learning about the realities faced by the children they cared for. How did William celebrate his 20th…

Infanta Sofia in Lisbon

I have been closely following Infanta Sofía’s university experience in Lisbon for weeks. Three months after graduating from UWC Atlantic College, she is already immersed in her first year of Political Science and International Relations at Forward College, a young, international, and highly experimental institution. And that’s where her most recent challenge emerged: a project on how to build a better future. Yes, it’s that ambitious. The university itself explained it on social media with a question I loved: “How can we design better futures?” Ver esta publicación en Instagram …

Queen Letizia was in Salamanca to preside over the Royal Board on Disability and present the National Disability Awards. While the occasion was formal, her appearance generated the most attention. In the images, her hair appeared slightly lighter, just enough to make us wonder if she had a new look or if the morning light was simply doing its magic.

Radical Changes Are Expected Under Prince William's Reign

For weeks now, I’ve been reading something that, frankly, no longer sounds like a mere rumor: Prince William is preparing significant changes for when his time comes. And I’m not talking about minor adjustments. The leaks suggest “radical reforms,” a complete redesign of the institution that could leave much of the current model behind. For many, this confirms that the current heir has a very different vision from his father’s. Eliminate royal titles? Yes, that’s the idea The most striking aspect of this plan is the possibility that William will strip family members who do not officially work for the…

Did Queen Letizia Debut a New Hazel Hair Color?

At one of her most recent events in Salamanca, many fell in love with Queen Letizia’s red leather jacket. I noticed something else. Her hair looked different, softer, as if the chocolate brown that had been with her for years had given way to a hazel brown that gave her a more luminous air. There was no need for her to say anything; the change was immediately apparent. Did Queen Letizia change her hair color? Here comes the question many are asking: “Is it a new hair color?” The answer isn’t so clear. That hazel tone can result from a…

Kate Middleton's New Tiara

Gala dinners at Windsor often produce images meant to last, and this time the focus was on Princess Kate. The visit of the German president and his wife brought together the British royal family for an intense agenda, culminating in the year’s final state banquet. The atmosphere was already special, with the castle decorated for the Christmas season and a spruce tree over seven meters tall illuminating the main hall, a detail that reinforced the solemnity of the meeting. The entrance of the Prince and Princess of Wales was the most talked-about moment of the evening. Kate surprised everyone by…

Welcoming a head of state always creates moments that speak louder than protocol, and Princess Kate once again demonstrated this during her meeting with the German President and his wife in London. The couple landed at Heathrow to begin their official visit to the United Kingdom, and the first to greet them were William and Kate, who traveled to the airport before their transfer to Windsor. From the start, it was clear she had prepared a look full of meaning, with a direct nod to Princess Diana’s memory. The blue coat, designed by Alexander McQueen, was the focal point of…
