I want to tell you about a topic that has been circulating in circles close to the royal family: the Duke of York’s alleged “unpleasant” comments about the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton. A well-known royal biographer, Andrew Lownie, revealed in his book Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York that these comments—although it is not known exactly what Andrew said—were motivated by jealousy. The curious thing is that Lownie confessed to being surprised, as he expected the Duke to show more respect for William and not be “nasty about his wife.” According to the author, these…

It seems that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have found a way to remain in Netflix’s orbit, albeit with a new twist. It is a “first look deal,” which means that the platform will have priority to view and decide on their future projects, but there is no longer talk of the millions of dollars that marked their first contract. A different step, perhaps more realistic, but one that keeps them in the game. In a statement issued to Newsweek, Meghan made it clear that they are excited about the idea of expanding their collaboration, now also with the As…

We now have the answer to the little mystery of where the Spanish royal family spent their summer vacation. King Felipe and Queen Letizia, along with their daughters Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia, headed to Greece. There was no official announcement—as usual—but following the Falcon’s trail was enough to discover that it landed in Athens on Wednesday night. For the second consecutive year, the Spanish royal family is spending their summer in Greece… and something tells me it’s no coincidence. Greece has a special meaning for Felipe, beyond its picture-postcard landscapes and turquoise beaches. It is a place with family…

Some books are born with gunpowder, and the new one about Prince Andrew seems to be one of them. Entitled The Rise and Fall of the House of York, the book reviews his most notorious scandals and recounts an anecdote that, if true, says a lot about family tensions in the palace. According to the author, Prince Harry went so far as to call his uncle Andrew a “coward,” and not just at any moment, but during a family party in 2013, after hearing that he had made comments behind his back. The episode, as recounted, was one of several…

If there’s one thing Kate Middleton knows how to do, it’s choose the perfect outfit for every cause she supports. During her recent visit to the Royal Foundation’s Early Years Center—to promote the launch of a series of animated shorts on child development—she proved it once again. The princess opted for a forest green ensemble by Veronica Beard: a ‘Kona Dickey’ jacket and ‘Marbeau’ wide-leg pants. She added an elegant touch with Trinity earrings by Cartier. A sober yet characterful look, very “working royal.” The occasion deserved it. The new shorts explain, in a simple and visual way, how loving…

Meghan turned 44 and, as has become customary, celebrated far away from anything that once had to do with royal protocol. No official photo shoots or messages from Buckingham Palace. Instead, she chose something much more intimate: a family day at her home in Montecito with Harry, Archie, Lilibet, and her mother, Doria Ragland. Hours later, she shared a simple and grateful image: “Blowing out the candles on a beautiful 24 hours…,” she wrote. She thanked her closest circle for the special day and, in a gesture not often seen from former royals, she also included those who follow her…

Although the spotlight seemed to be divided between her daughters and the queen emeritus, it was Letizia who once again made it clear that her connection to Mallorca is not just institutional. In the gardens of the Marivent Palace, the Queen opted for an Ibiza-inspired white dress, the kind that only works if worn naturally, and she did just that. The garment, designed by Ibizan designer Tony Bonet, belongs to the Arrels capsule collection. Made of embroidered batiste and with a flared skirt, the dress has structure, flare, and pockets. Yes, pockets. A detail that the designer himself considers “essential.”…

On a night marked by the royal family’s warmth and relaxed style, Infanta Sofia once again stood out with a look that combined youthfulness, freshness, and a clear nod to her generation: accessible, well-chosen fashion. For her first appearance at the traditional reception in Marivent, Sofia opted for a tie-dye satin midi dress from Zara that did not go unnoticed. The price—reduced to $9.99—was undoubtedly a smart and modern choice, perfectly suited for a formal summer evening. Accompanied by her grandmother, Queen Emerita Sofia, with whom she crossed the garden before greeting the guests, the Infanta provided a chromatic contrast…

There is something about the Mallorcan summer that brings out the most relaxed and radiant version of Princess Leonor. This time was no different. In her first appearance at the traditional reception at the Marivent Palace—an event that until now had been reserved only for her parents—Leonor took an important institutional step and wore one of her most talked-about outfits. Boho Summer Look: Princess Leonor Shines in Mallorca She did so with a dress that is not new, but very significant. It is a Desigual design that her mother, Queen Letizia, wore on this same stage in 2022. Printed in…

In the gardens of Marivent, the annual reception held by the King and Queen for Balearic society provided an image worthy of the institutional album this year, with Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía sharing the limelight with naturalness, confidence, and a closeness that was much talked about among the guests. It was the first time that the two sisters had participated together in this event, and also the first time that Sofía had joined the event. They did not just accompany their parents, but moved freely around the cocktail party, chatting with different attendees and making it clear that the…

Although the Sussexes have put down roots in California, it seems that Prince Harry is not ruling out his children having an educational connection to the United Kingdom. According to Grant Harrold, former butler to King Charles, Harry is quite interested in Archie and Lilibet receiving at least part of their education on British soil. It wouldn’t be right now, of course, but he does see it as a possibility further down the line. The matter, as expected, does not depend solely on Harry’s interest. Harrold suggests that much will depend on how the relationship between the Sussexes and the…

After several days without appearing in public, Queen Letizia, Princess Leonor, and Infanta Sofia reappeared in Mallorca with a plan that struck me as both simple and eloquent: an afternoon at the movies with the family. It was this Thursday at the Rivoli Cinemas in Palma, and I really loved seeing them like that, relaxed, enjoying something so ordinary away from the official spotlight. They chose to see In a Place of the Mind, a documentary with a lot of depth that addresses mental health, art, and social transformation, and which is part of the Atlàntida Mallorca Film Fest, the…
