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…

The central theme of all the events will be the Queen Sofia Spanish Institute, an organization of which she is the honorary president. This is not a mere protocol visit; there is real substance behind it, and the three days are put to good use.

While Princess Kate had engaged in diplomacy in a Tolu Coker coat in the morning, in the evening, she upped the ante with a look that left nothing to chance. Windsor Castle hosted the state dinner that King Charles and Queen Camilla hosted in honor of the President of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu, and his wife, and Kate appeared in an emerald-green silk chiffon dress that, in itself, sent another message. Green is the predominant color on Nigeria’s flag, and choosing it for the official evening event after wearing a dress by a Nigerian-born designer in the morning makes the entire…

Princess Kate has a very special talent for using clothing to send a message, and she demonstrated it once again this Wednesday. On the occasion of the state visit of President Bola Tinubu of Nigeria and his wife, Oluremi, the Prince and Princess of Wales welcomed them to The Fairmont Windsor Park Hotel. For the welcome, Kate set aside her usual designer labels and wore, for the first time, a coat by Tolu Coker, a British-Nigerian designer and one of the most influential voices on the London creative scene. Choosing that piece for that specific event was no coincidence. What…

This morning, the Prince and Princess of Wales welcomed the President of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and his wife, Oluremi, at the Fairmont Windsor Park Hotel, on the edge of Windsor Park, before accompanying them to the city center for a formal meeting with King Charles and Queen Camilla. From there, the entourage toured Windsor in a carriage procession to the castle quadrangle for the ceremonial welcome. This is a historic visit for two reasons: it is the first visit by a Nigerian leader to the United Kingdom in 37 years, and it is the first state visit by a…

The Michelin Guide ceremony for France and Monaco took place this Monday evening, and Charlene appeared alongside Prince Albert in an outfit that was essentially a tribute in the form of an ensemble. She wore Giorgio Armani from head to toe, and there was a logic behind her choice that went beyond mere aesthetics. Armani designed her wedding dress, and since the designer’s passing, Charlene has used several public appearances to pay tribute to him through her wardrobe. What Charlene of Monaco wore to the Michelin ceremony The complete ensemble, made up of four pieces, costs over $14,000. The jacket…

There’s something about Queen Letizia that has always struck me, and it’s not just that she looks flawless at every event. The thing is, at 53, she has a physique that many 30-year-olds would envy. Toned arms, a strong back, and solid posture. None of that is luck or pure genetics. There’s a routine behind it, and it’s quite demanding. What sports does Queen Letizia do to get that athletic body? The Queen does a combination of different activities. Her daily routine includes stationary biking, yoga, Pilates, stretching, and strength training. But there is one activity that is more surprising…

Today is Mother’s Day in the United Kingdom, and like every year, social media was flooded with messages, flowers, and tributes. Unlike in other countries, the date varies in the United Kingdom because it is linked to the religious calendar of Lent. This year, Mother’s Day was celebrated on March 15, and among all the posts that circulated, there was one that made thousands of people stop scrolling. It was Prince William’s post, remembering his mother. What photo Prince William posted to honor Princess Diana The photo shows Diana sitting in a flower-filled meadow, wearing a pink sweater and looking…

What will happen to Infanta Sofia when Princess Leonor becomes Queen of Spain? This question has been around for a long time, and it’s becoming increasingly important. It is clear that Leonor has been preparing to become queen for years. But what role will Sofia play in that future? Infanta Sofia studies in Portugal, appears at events when called upon, and keeps a low profile—which, according to some experts on Spanish royalty, is not by chance but by strategy. Olga Pérez, Semana magazine’s royal family specialist, and journalist Ana Polo Alonso have very clear opinions on what awaits her, and…
