On April 25, London came to a standstill to commemorate Anzac Day, one of the most significant dates on the Commonwealth calendar. This year, the day began at dawn at Hyde Park Corner with a ceremony led by Princess Anne, who laid a wreath of red poppies on behalf of the royal family. Hours later, Kate Middleton joined the events, participating in the floral offering at the Whitehall Cenotaph on behalf of King Charles III, followed by a service of thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey. For an event like this, the dress code doesn’t leave much room for flexibility, and Kate…

Just a few weeks before completing her training at the San Javier General Air Academy, Princess Leonor appeared this weekend at Barnuevo Beach in Santiago de la Ribera to participate, as an ensign, in the 25th edition of the inter-university canoeing regatta. Each year, the event brings together students from various universities, as well as students from the academy itself, and Leonor was paddling a canoe in the mixed category with her team. The finals kicked off with teams from the University of Murcia, the Polytechnic University of Cartagena, UCAM, and Rey Juan Carlos University also competing. Princess Leonor competed…

There is something that is no longer being concealed in the relationship between Prince William and Prince Harry. What was once a distance now seems like a firm decision. Since Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in 2022, they have not spoken, and that silence is not accidental. According to several experts, William has erected a sort of wall that he does not intend to tear down for the time being. How should this silence be interpreted? For some, it’s a strategy. “William’s silence isn’t a mystery. It’s a strategy,” sources close to the royal family say. Apparently, the heir to the…

Several months have now passed since Infanta Sofía arrived in Lisbon to begin her university studies, and we finally have a clearer picture of what that first step was like. Apparently, there were no shortcuts or visible privileges. The daughter of King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia followed the same path as any other applicant to Forward College, an institution committed to providing an international education in Political Science and International Relations. The process begins like that of any other student. Online application, submission of documents, and initial contact with someone on campus. Here’s an interesting detail. The university explains…

On Wednesday, April 22, King Felipe and Queen Letizia hosted a luncheon at the Royal Palace prior to the presentation of the 2025 Miguel de Cervantes Prize for Literature in the Spanish Language, which was held the following day in the Paraninfo Auditorium of the University of Alcalá. The award went to Mexican writer Gonzalo Celorio, and the event brought together representatives from the world of literature in one of those occasions where protocol coexists with relaxed conversation away from the cameras. For the occasion, Queen Letizia brought out her baby blue Hugo Boss Vrima skirt, a piece with quite…

For weeks now, Queen Maxima has been operating at a non-stop pace. After her visit to the United States, she returned to the Netherlands with an equally busy schedule. The occasion is King’s Day, which is celebrated on April 27, and the lead-up events are piling up. On Tuesday, April 21, she traveled to Arnhem, named SME City 2026 by the MKB-Nederland business association, where she visited the Clean Technology Park, a space where over 140 companies are working on solutions for the energy transition and the circular economy. For the visit, she opted for a look that cleverly combines…

Princess Amalia returned to Amsterdam, and that in itself is significant. The city where she had to leave her university life in 2023 due to threats from the mafia welcomed her this time in a very different context: a two-day official visit at the invitation of Mayor Femke Halsema, with an agenda packed with technology, sustainability, and nightlife. For her first appearance, she chose a burgundy three-piece suit by Mango, the same ensemble she wore at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Milano-Cortina. A complete, three-piece suit with an oversized silhouette and a flowing cut, with the tailored…

The Easter holidays gave Infanta Sofía something that life in Lisbon does not often allow: time with her family. From Good Friday, when she appeared with her parents and sister in a procession in Carabanchel, through the weekend, the Infanta had several days to take a break from university and reconnect with the friends she has seen less and less since moving to Portugal to study. Photographers caught her visiting her old school, the same institution where King Felipe and Princess Leonor studied before her. The photo ended up on the front page of Diez Minutos, and beyond the anecdote…

During her visit to Australia, Meghan slipped away from her official schedule to record an episode of MasterChef Australia as a guest judge, filmed in Melbourne. The announcement came via the show’s social media channels, which introduced her as “a passionate foodie with global influence.” This isn’t just any cameo, especially considering that on her Netflix show With Love, Meghan received quite harsh criticism for her cooking segments. Stepping back in front of the camera in that capacity carries a touch of quiet revenge. On the show, she joined the usual panel of judges, consisting of Poh Ling Yeow, Sofia…

Queen Letizia, accompanied by King Felipe VI, visited the José María de Llanos Foundation in Madrid to support the 25th anniversary of the Escuela de Hostelería del Sur. There, they not only listened, but also got involved. They toured the kitchens, took an interest in the students, and even tasted the dishes being prepared. This type of more intimate event always reveals a different side. Amidst it all, her style once again spoke for her. Letizia chose a practical, no-frills, yet carefully considered look. The mother of Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía opted for a blouse with a bow tie,…

A few days ago, a small but highly revealing gesture by Queen Letizia caught my attention. During an event marking the tenth anniversary of the Talento Joven program, she wrote two words on a blackboard: “Confidence and purpose.” Just two words, but as we know, in the world of royalty, details speak volumes, and experts are attentive to everything.

Harry and Meghan are in Australia for the first time since 2018, when they went on an official tour, announced Meghan’s pregnancy with Archie, and Harry competed in the Invictus Games in Sydney. This trip is different in almost every way. There is no real agenda, no British flag behind it, and the money does not come from taxpayers. The trip is being financed privately, which makes perfect sense given that since 2020, the couple has no longer received funds from the Sovereign Grant, the state mechanism that covers the Royal Family’s expenses. Harry explained it himself in his 2021…
