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…

Kate Middleton returned to the public agenda with one of those visits that combine protocol with genuinely human moments. Accompanied by William, she toured the Bermondsey Beer Mile, a route of independent breweries and craft bars in south London. They stopped by Borough Market, served coffee, put on aprons to hand out crumble with custard, visited the RNLI rescue station on the Thames, and even poured pints. It was a long, eventful, and quite revealing day. Why did Kate decline to try the beers during her visit to the Bermondsey Beer Mile? The most talked-about moment came at Fabal Beerhall,…

Every year, when the Royal Palace of Brussels opens its doors for the Changing of the Seasons concert, two things are certain: Mathilde will look flawless, and the music will be amazing. This year’s event was no exception. Nearly 500 guests from the worlds of academia, business, and culture filled the hall, along with King Philippe, Prince Laurent, and, of course, the Queen, who arrived ready to steal the show with a look that left nothing to chance. What did Queen Mathilde wear to the spring concert? This time, Mathilde chose a powder pink Elie Saab jumpsuit featuring a tulle…

The Spanish royal family has an unwritten rule for March 8: silence. International Women’s Day usually goes by without an official statement, as the Spanish Royal Family prefers to stay out of the political debate surrounding the date. That’s why it was surprising that the Princess of Girona Foundation, chaired by Leonor, decided to publish a message on that day. This move went almost unnoticed in the media, but royal expert Ana Polo Alonso didn’t hesitate to comment on it in Semana, stating bluntly, “I thought it was very good.” What the Princess of Girona Foundation’s message said on International…

While King Felipe was traveling to Lisbon for the inauguration of Portugal’s new president, Queen Letizia headed to Almería to visit the Cajamar Las Palmerillas Experimental Station, an agricultural technology center that also creates jobs for people with disabilities. Dressed in a white lab coat, the Queen toured the laboratories and greenhouses and actively participated in the entire process. It was the kind of visit where you can tell there’s genuine interest, not just an agenda. The red Carolina Herrera suit Queen Letizia wore in Almería For the occasion, Letizia brought back one of her favorite suits. It’s a deep…

Infanta Sofía is 18 years old, is increasingly present on the royal agenda, and has already held her first honorary presidency. Something is changing in how the Crown positions her, and it shows. But there is one thing she has not yet done: give her first public speech. In all these years, we have only heard her speak on two occasions: once during the pandemic, in a Royal Household video where she read excerpts from Don Quixote alongside Leonor, and once again at the Women’s World Cup final in Australia. For many, the absence of a young woman who already…

On March 9, Westminster Abbey hosted the Commonwealth Day service, attended by the entire British royal family. King Charles and Queen Camilla presided over the service, while Princess Anne arrived with Timothy Laurence, and Prince William and Princess Catherine entered to applause from the onlookers gathered at the entrance. Kate wears an Emilia Wickstead coat dress Camilla chose red and garnered her share of attention, but Kate won the award for best dress in a navy blue coat dress by Emilia Wickstead. Made from wool crepe, the design had everything that works for an event like this: a fitted bodice,…
