There are events on the royal calendar that serve as a barometer. Easter Sunday at St. George’s Chapel, Windsor, is one of them. This year, against a backdrop of scandals and a rather tumultuous period for the British royal family, the sight of Kate Middleton arriving with Prince William and their three children was, without exaggeration, a visual relief. After two years without appearing at this event—first due to her cancer diagnosis in 2024 and then with a very cautious return after confirming that the disease was in remission—this comeback carried its own weight. Kate Middleton’s Style on Easter Sunday…

Spanish singer Rosalía is taking the world by storm with her LUX Tour, and Madrid was no exception. Four sold-out nights in a row at the Movistar Arena, familiar faces in the audience, and an atmosphere that, according to everyone who was there, was fantastic. Among the thousands of fans, there were three attendees that no one had on their radar. Queen Letizia, Princess Leonor, and Infanta Sofía were in the crowd, mingling with the rest of the audience, just like any other family out to enjoy a concert. How everyone found out that the royal family was at Rosalía’s…

Easter Sunday brought the British royal family together at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor, and as always, the ceremony conveyed much more than met the eye. King Charles III and Queen Camilla presided over the service, a development that is already being viewed as entirely natural. Indeed, since Elizabeth II stepped down from that central role, the transition has been remarkably smooth. Camilla provides support without needing to assert herself, and Charles assumes his role with composure. That’s how things work at Windsor: everything continues as usual, even though the faces are no longer the same. The presence of the…

This week, Queen Mary of Denmark went to Christiansborg Palace to welcome two new horses to the royal stables, the first additions since King Frederik X took the throne in 2024 following the abdication of his mother, Queen Margrethe II, after 52 years on the throne. Queen Mary greeted the horses with apple slices and petting. No protocol, no distance. That’s who she is. What Queen Mary was wearing at Christiansborg For the occasion, Mary chose a carefully considered outfit. At the heart of her outfit was a herringbone wool blazer with patch pockets from Ralph Lauren, a piece from…

Princess Leonor’s military training at the General Air and Space Academy in San Javier has reached its most technical and demanding phase. As a fourth-year cadet, it’s no longer just a matter of keeping up with the daily military routine; she now needs to master something much more complex: the airspace. Her goal is clear: to earn her pilot’s wings, which will certify her as an officer in the Spanish Air Force. And to achieve that, she still has a long way to go. How many flight hours does Princess Leonor need to earn her pilot wings? According to the…

This year, the Easter service at St. George’s Chapel will be marked by two notable absences. Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie will not attend the family gathering led by King Charles III at Windsor, and the reason is not just a scheduling conflict. According to palace sources, both princesses decided to make “alternative plans” for that day, although the same sources were quick to clarify that the princesses will indeed attend future family events. For her part, Beatrice will spend Easter Sunday with the family of her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. Andrew scandal and the Epstein files The decision comes weeks…

Some revelations come late, but they completely change the way you look back. Royal historian Hugo Vickers has just published a book on Queen Elizabeth II in which he reveals something that was kept secret for years: Prince Philip was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in June 2013, at the age of 91. Prince Philip lived with the disease for eight years, until his death in April 2021 at Windsor Castle, just two months short of his 100th birthday. What science says about Prince Philip’s cancer Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers there are. According to Cancer Research UK,…

Infanta Sofia has been living in Lisbon for seven months, where she is studying Political Science and International Relations at Forward College. She has spring break from April 3 to 12, so she will most likely spend those days with her family, as they usually do each year around this time. The Royal Household hasn’t announced any official events for Easter, but that’s almost a tradition in itself, because when they do appear, it’s by surprise. In 2023, they went to Chinchón to see the Passion of the Christ; in 2024, they attended a procession in Madrid; and in 2025,…

King Charles III has more money than many people realize. According to the Sunday Times Rich List 2025, his personal wealth is around $850 million, placing him at number 238 among the richest people in the United Kingdom. To put this into perspective, his wealth exceeds that of the Beckhams and is on par with that of Rishi Sunak and his wife. And that’s just what is known, because part of his finances never see the light of day. Sovereign Grant, Duchy of Lancaster, and Private Investments The first thing to understand is that royals who actively work for the…

This week, the Royal Palace hosted an important diplomatic event. This week, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia hosted the President of Senegal, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, at a gala luncheon attended by nearly one hundred guests. During his speech, the King announced that Senegal has become the first country in sub-Saharan Africa to become a strategic partner of Spain. What Queen Letizia wore to lunch with the President of Senegal For the occasion, Queen Letizia chose a Felipe Varela ensemble that fans of her style will undoubtedly recognize. It’s that blue cheviot two-piece suit, hand-embroidered with thread, which features a…

Sometimes, genetics surprises us. Today, we’re going to talk about the resemblance between Infanta Sofía and her great-aunt Irene of Greece. I’m not talking about a vague resemblance; when you compare photos of Irene from the 1940s with current images of Felipe and Letizia’s youngest daughter, the effect is almost like something out of a movie. A round face, big eyes, a turned-up nose, and full lips. The House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg prevailed without question. Neither Bourbon nor Ortiz. Pure Greek blood. The resemblance between Sofía and Irene of Greece What I find most interesting isn’t their physical appearance, but the…

When Queen Elizabeth II passed away in September 2022, she left behind four corgis: Muick, Sandy, Candy, and Lissie. The question of what would become of them was quickly answered: Sarah Ferguson, her former daughter-in-law, offered to keep them. At the time, it seemed like a nice, almost emotional gesture. Now, according to the Daily Mail, there is another side to the story. Apparently, Sarah Ferguson’s plan was not exactly sentimental. According to the report, the former Duchess of York had considered using the dogs for business from the start, whether through a TV show, by breeding them, or by…
