Every year, I get the same feeling: British Christmas doesn’t truly begin when London lights up, but when Princess Kate appears at her annual Christmas carol concert. She has made it her own tradition, almost a ritual, to open the season and, in doing so, reaffirm her role within the Royal Household. This edition was no different. She arrived with the calculated style that has become part of her identity, and with the creative leadership that has made her the undisputed host of this event. What I love most about this concert is how Kate manages to blend worlds that…

At the Royal Palace, we witnessed one of those seemingly casual scenes that leaves questions unanswered. The King and Queen presided over a meeting of the Princess of Girona Foundation, and when they arrived, they were both wearing nearly identical gray suits, double-breasted and with visible buttons. They even matched their loafers. Sometimes clothing speaks volumes, and this could be one of those instances. Unity, teamwork… or perhaps a wardrobe coincidence, who knows? What look did Letizia choose for this official event? The Queen donned her Hugo Boss suit, a gray wool ensemble with a Prince of Wales check that…

Here’s one of those looks from Queen Letizia that seems simple at first glance, but when you examine it closely, you understand why it works so well. The event took place at the Royal Collections Gallery, during the opening of an exhibition dedicated to Victoria Eugenia, a significant figure in the history of the monarchy. What brought Letizia to the Royal Collections Gallery? The Queen debuted a black and white tweed two-piece with a houndstooth pattern – a fitted, clean look that stays true to the classic French aesthetic that always suits her so well. The fitted jacket, featuring a…

The possibility of William and Harry competing in the 2026 World Cup has already begun to create tension, even before the exact match venues are determined. They haven’t spoken since Queen Elizabeth’s death in 2022, yet both want to be in the United States to support England and the other British teams competing next summer. William plans to travel with Princess Kate and their three children, with George particularly excited about the prospect of seeing the Three Lions in action. From Los Angeles, sources close to Harry confirm that he also plans to attend several games, particularly at SoFi Stadium,…

On the first day of her state visit to Suriname, it became clear that Maxima doesn’t need grand displays to make an impression. From the moment she and King Willem-Alexander were welcomed at the Presidential Palace by Jennifer Geerlings-Simons and her husband, it was clear the day would be intense. The queen chose an outfit that conveyed both the solemnity and warmth required for an official reception in a country celebrating 50 years of independence. What did Maxima wear for the day’s first activities? For the start, Maxima chose a white Natan dress with eyelet embroidery, a fresh and neat…

This weekend, the Duchess of Edinburgh once again demonstrated why her style is so well-suited to equestrian events. Sophie attended the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury Racecourse, a classic event on the British calendar. After the race, she presented the trophy to owner Bryan Drew and jockey Tristan Durrell, but she had already captured everyone’s attention with her practical outfit that works so well for her. What the duchess was wearing Claire Mischevani’s khaki coat was the centerpiece of the look. The Duchess paired it with a plum-colored Roksanda midi dress, a combination that adds depth without sacrificing elegance. It’s…

Yes, the British monarch would be the guest of honor at a state visit hosted by President Donald Trump. The idea has been on the table for weeks, and both capitals are already working out the details. What we know about the meeting between King Charles and President Trump According to leaks from Washington and London, the plan includes a visit to the White House in late April. The goal is to make the anniversary a high-profile event before July…

Every December, I eagerly await the moment when St. George’s Hall unveils its giant tree, and this year it certainly doesn’t disappoint. The tradition has a long history, but what always surprises is how the castle manages to turn a simple fir tree into a spectacle. As Kathryn Jones of the Royal Collection Trust explains, the rooms at Windsor were designed to showcase these ceremonies, featuring soaring, gilded ceilings that frame the tree as if it were part of a royal setting. And it works, and how! Where the tree comes from and how it is installed The tree is…

After weeks of anticipation, the Air Force finally released the first images of Princess Leonor in training. Since September, when she entered the San Javier Air and Space Academy for her third year of training, we knew an intense period was coming. Now we see it clearly: the heiress to the Spanish throne appears focused, integrated into her group, and facing the new challenges that mark this new military chapter. What is Leonor doing in her SERE training? The photos show Leonor as an officer, actively engaged with her colleagues. In the photograph, everyone is gathered around a laptop receiving…

Princess Kate’s visit to the Anna Freud Centre for Children and Adolescents presented an image many had hoped for since her return to official duties. I always say that her style almost functions as a parallel message to what she wants to convey, and this time was no different. Although 2024 was a difficult year for her, we now see her with renewed energy, choosing events that fully align with her causes and displaying a more measured, yet highly focused, presence. What dress did Kate Middleton wear during her visit to the Anna Freud Centre On this occasion, she revisited…

Since September, Infanta Sofia has been attending her first year of university at Forward College, an international project that began in Lisbon and will continue in Paris and Berlin. The center was established in 2021 with the clear goal of educating students in small, flexible, and highly practical environments. And that very campus in Lisbon, where Sofia is studying Political Science and International Relations in her first year, has just undergone a complete renovation that is already making headlines. Infanta Sofia in Lisbon: What is the new Soriano campus like? Forward College shared a preview on social media with the…

At the Royal Palace, Queen Letizia once again brought out a piece of jewelry that completely transforms the tone of a gala dinner: the Cartier tiara. I know many remembered it from afar, as it’s been seven years since we last saw it on her head. The occasion called for it. It was the official dinner in honor of German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife, Elka Büdenbender, and Letizia chose to bring back a piece that is part of the Royal Household’s emotional history. What does it mean that Letizia wore the Cartier tiara? The tiara has a fascinating…
