Prince William and Kate's move

Royal moves always generate conversation, and William and Kate’s latest decision is no exception. We recently reported that the Waleses had their sights set on Fort Belvedere, a large house with 59 acres of lawns, gardens, stables, lakes, and even a tennis court. But now, there are other plans, and the entire British press is talking about it. Prince William and Kate’s move After two years at Adelaide Cottage, the couple has set their sights on Forest Lodge, a $21 million property within Windsor Great Park. This eight-bedroom house, with privacy enhanced by bushes and renovations underway, suggests that the…

Queen Mary's style at the Opening of the Headspace Center

After more than a month without an official agenda, Queen Mary reappeared in Tårnby with a look that perfectly sums up her style: elegant, relaxed, and practical. The occasion called for it: the inauguration of a new Headspace Center, a space designed to support young people aged 12 to 25 with mental health issues. What was interesting here was not only the event itself, but how Mary chose to present herself. She opted for a striped Polo Ralph Lauren suit with a belt at the waist that softened the formality of the outfit. These types of pieces are a classic…

Where are Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia this summer

Every summer, the same question arises: where are Leonor and Sofía when their parents disappear from the public eye? This time, the mystery is even greater. We know that Felipe and Letizia headed to Greece after their visit to Palma, but the curious thing is that there is not a single official clue about the princesses. No photos, no press releases, no casual references. Absolute silence. The most widely discussed theory is that the entire family has been staying at the villa of Máxima and Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands in Spetses. It is a luxury home with a swimming pool,…

Princess Leonor's Final Year of Military Training

I confess that Princess Leonor will not exactly have a quiet year. On September 1, she will begin her training at the General Air Academy, at the San Javier base in Murcia, to complete the final stage of her military training. Leonor arrives at this stage after a very family-oriented summer and an intense second year, which included her voyage on the training ship Juan Sebastián de Elcano and official events such as the Princess of Girona Awards. In San Javier, she will follow a curriculum adapted to her special schedule, as her time at each academy is shorter than…

Tension Between William and Andrew

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…

Meghan and Harry Sign First-Look Deal to Stay on Netflix

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…

The Spanish Royal Family's Private Summer Vacation

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…

Prince Harry and Prince Andrew

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…

Kate Middleton Green Suit by Veronica Beard

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 Markle Celebrates 44th Birthday

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…

Queen Letizia's style at Marivent Palace

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.”…

Infanta Sofia's Summer Style at Marivent Palace

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…
