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 …

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…

Gala dinners at Windsor often produce images meant to last, and this time the focus was on Princess Kate.

Queen Maxima's Yellow Dress by Natan in Suriname

I don’t know about you, but every time Queen Maxima embarks on an official trip, my fashion radar goes off.

Princess Leonor's phone

The Spanish Royal Family is currently experiencing a period where discretion is once again setting the tone. Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia’s personal growth has prompted the Zarzuela Palace to adjust its communication strategy to avoid the impression of constant scrutiny. The two sisters continue their studies like any young woman their age, though with much stricter protection than in previous stages, when every academic achievement ended up becoming public knowledge. In Lisbon, where Sofia is pursuing a new educational endeavor, this cautious approach has been evident from day one. No photographs or videos of her routine have been released,…

Kate Middleton's Message During Addiction Awareness Week

Princess Kate delivered a powerful message during Addiction Awareness Week, a campaign she has continued to support since helping to launch it in 2021. Her speech was not merely another expression of institutional commitment. It sounded sincere, direct, and even urgent. And she focused on something we often overlook when discussing addiction: the individuals. The princess urged society to show “compassion and love” to those struggling with alcohol, drugs, medication, or even gambling. What struck me most was how she emphasized that addiction is neither a moral failure nor a bad decision. She defined it as a complex mental health…
