It turns out Meghan Markle has sold nearly a million jars of jam. Yes, you read that correctly. Neither she nor her brand, As Ever, had disclosed the actual figures, but a technical glitch on their website revealed what no one expected to see so soon. According to data that was mistakenly revealed, only 130,000 units remain in stock out of an initial order of one million. That means 87% of what you ordered has been processed. Not bad for someone who launched this less than a year ago. Each gift box with its “Signature Fruit Spread” costs $42, so do the math. We’re talking…

This week, Queen Máxima of the Netherlands gave us a masterclass on how to look impeccable at official events without becoming monotonous. On Monday, January 12th, she welcomed hundreds of Dutch guests at the Royal Palace in Amsterdam, and the following day she repeated the ritual with foreign diplomats and representatives of international organizations. Two consecutive receptions, two completely different looks. And both, of course, are worth analyzing. For the first event, she chose a burgundy ensemble, pairing it with her Max Mara coat in the same flattering shade. She wore the Gianvito Rossi shoes we’ve seen her in before,…
Leonor’s appearance on January 6th may be one of the last we see for quite some time. Zarzuela is clear that the heiress needs to focus on completing her military training without distractions, so don’t expect to see her at official events until June or July. The strategy is simple: maintain a low profile until she completes her training at the General Air Force Academy in San Javier, Murcia. Sources close to the Royal Household confirm that Leonor has no public engagements scheduled for the coming months, unless an exceptional circumstance or an internal royal family event arises. The goal is…
On Sunday, January 11th, Queen Mathilde of Belgium attended the Cathedral of Saint Michael and Saint Gudula, dressed elegantly and appropriately for the occasion. She was present alongside King Philippe for the pontifical mass that inaugurated the cathedral’s 800th-anniversary celebrations. Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican’s Secretary of State and papal legate, presided over the ceremony. For the occasion, Mathilde chose a Meer Couture coat over a Natan dress, her classic combination that never fails. The outfit’s details were well thought out. She wore her Jimmy Choo Romy 85 in navy blue suede, a Christian Dior bag, and a Fabienne Delvigne Chambella…
After four years away from British soil, Meghan Markle may be about to end her absence. The Duchess of Sussex plans to accompany Harry to Birmingham in July for the 2027 Invictus Games countdown event. But there is a significant “but.” It all depends on whether the security they are requesting is approved. And that’s where things get complicated. Harry has been fighting for years to receive police protection funded by British taxpayers when he visits the country. He lost that automatic right when he stepped down as an active royal in 2020 and relocated to California. Last year, he lost his legal battle…
When Letizia Ortiz agreed to marry Felipe de Borbón, she didn’t just join the Spanish royal family. She also had to go through something much less romantic: signing a tough prenuptial agreement. We’re talking about a very restrictive document, with specific clauses covering divorce, death, potential remarriages, and children. Spanish monarchist Pilar Eyre describes it this way on her blog, Lecturas. The most disturbing part is that, after she signed it, the lawyers tried to console her by saying that if they separated, she would be “better off than Lady Di.” What a consolation, right? Letizia’s arrival at the Royal Household was…
The Royal Family’s Christmas holidays are over. On the morning of January 6th, the Feast of the Epiphany, Felipe, Letizia, and Leonor reappeared at the Royal Palace for the Military Easter. And it was Leonor who captured everyone’s attention. Having just turned 20 and dressed in the Air Force uniform, where she has been training in San Javier for months, the heiress demonstrated the poise she has been gaining with each public appearance. Her parents supported her every move, but she no longer needs as much help as she once did. Queen Letizia begins the year with sophisticated black and white attire…
Mary went all-in on white and gold for the last New Year’s reception at Christiansborg, and the result was a pure visual spectacle. The dress isn’t new; she had already worn it a year and a half ago in Greenland, but it works perfectly for an occasion like this. It’s formal, yet has a wintery touch: long sleeves, a shirt collar, and a metallic gold brocade that adds just the right amount of shine without being overdone. Given that Copenhagen’s streets were covered in snow this morning, the choice makes perfect sense. Mary literally dressed like a snow queen, and the…
Will King Charles see his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet, in 2026? Harry wants it to happen, and according to sources close to him, he is doing everything possible to make it happen this year. The Duke of Sussex is reportedly eager for his father to travel to California to meet six-year-old Archie and four-year-old Lilibet at their home in Montecito. The last time Charles saw them was in June 2022, during Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee. Since then, nothing. Harry hasn’t returned to the UK with his children or Meghan because he’s been fighting with the Home Office for years over the police…
The Princess of Asturias Foundation has issued a statement to stop the use of Princess Leonor’s name for fraudulent purposes. It appears that in recent weeks, fake profiles have surfaced on social media, impersonating both the institution and Princess Leonor herself to solicit money. The modus operandi is classic: they offer financial aid, subsidies, sweepstakes, and all sorts of monetary proposals that are, of course, a trap. The serious issue is that they are exploiting the heiress’s name and image as a lure, taking advantage of her public profile and the trust her persona inspires. The Foundation made it clear on…
Prince Louis went viral on TikTok, and it’s impossible not to melt. The video captures him during the royal family’s traditional Christmas walk to church at Sandringham, greeting the public with his natural charisma. The post garnered 319,700 likes and 4,000,000 views, with the caption “Louis is so cute I can’t.” And yes, I understand completely. In the clip, Louis is heard saying “hello” to someone in the audience whom Prince William recognizes and calls “John,” while George says “Merry Christmas” and Charlotte replies “Happy Christmas.” Louis also has a toy dog wearing a Santa hat. The moment becomes even more endearing when…
The Royal Family has once again measured its popularity through its new approach to social media communication, and the change is evident. Like last year, they published annual compilations of each family member on Instagram. This is no coincidence. It’s a much more deliberate digital strategy aimed at organizing and strengthening the family’s institutional image on social media. Zarzuela’s Instagram account has surpassed one million followers, demonstrating its significant reach. From Zarzuela, they are focusing on content that provides context and showcases the year’s work in a visually appealing and accessible way. The compilation of King Felipe was released first, followed by…
