When we think of the richest royals in Europe, we tend to imagine Kate Middleton, Princess Leonor, or even Prince William at the top of the list. But no. The name that really leads this conversation is Lady Charlotte Wellesley, and what’s surprising is that her enormous fortune doesn’t come solely from her lineage. Lady Charlotte, daughter of the ninth Duke of Wellington and Princess Antonia of Prussia, is a direct descendant of Queen Victoria. Born in 1990, she grew up in the imposing Stratfield Saye House and studied at elite schools and universities, including Oxford, where she graduated with…

This summer, if anyone knows how to navigate luxury, social events, and camera flashes, it’s Victoria Federica. After being photographed aboard a yacht in Mallorca, the daughter of Infanta Elena reappeared at the Starlite Gala in Marbella as if the photocall were her second home. Some Spanish and international media outlets have reported on this comeback, with some using words like “sublime” or “sensational.” Victoria Federica’s style at the Starlite Gala For the charity event, she opted for a long black dress with thin straps and a carefully calculated front slit that showed off her figure to its best advantage.…

Following Princess Beatrice’s 37th birthday, it seems like a good time to discuss the role she will—or rather will not—play under Prince William’s future reign. Former royal butler Grant Harrold, who worked with King Charles, says that although Beatrice has been gaining presence and responsibilities, he does not see her becoming an official member of the royal family with full duties. Harrold says Beatrice is well respected within the family, especially by Charles and Camilla, and that although the celebration will be intimate, the king will not miss the opportunity to honor her. “The King will be eager to celebrate…

Princess Victoria has reappeared on her official schedule with a fresh look that betrays her recent vacation. More tanned skin, minimal makeup, and that naturalness that, far from being casual, has become one of her hallmarks. Although the Swedish Royal Family does not give details about her days off, everything points to her spending them with her family in some quiet corner of the country, enjoying nature and away from the media spotlight. Her first official engagement after the summer break was at the Royal Palace in Stockholm, where she presided over the meeting of the Foreign Affairs Committee alongside…

Visby awoke to a solemn atmosphere and a floral touch. Crown Princess Victoria arrived at St. Mary’s Cathedral, in the heart of Gotland, to celebrate its 800th anniversary, and she did so wearing one of her favorite designers: Camilla Thulin. The dress, with a floral print that seemed to dialogue with the Gothic stained glass windows, had just the right drape to move naturally between the central aisle and the official greetings. This is not the first time Victoria has chosen Thulin, but here there was an extra detail: she combined the look with accessories that are almost a language…

I’ve been hearing whispers around Windsor that William and Kate might be itching for a little more elbow room. Yes, Adelaide Cottage has its charm — four bedrooms, close to Lambrook School, and it’s where Kate quietly recovered from her cancer treatment — but apparently, the Waleses feel they’ve outgrown it. One name keeps popping up in the chatter: Fort Belvedere. Now, this isn’t just any house tucked away in the park. We’re talking 59 acres of lawns, gardens, stables, lakes, and even a tennis court (which, let’s be honest, would make Charlotte very happy). The place is steeped in…

They say that there are neighborhoods that seem tailor-made for a new chapter in someone’s life. In the case of Infanta Sofía, that place is called Chiado, in Lisbon. A corner with a bohemian soul, cobblestones that tell stories, and cafés where time seems to stand still. There, among century-old bookstores and the aroma of strong coffee, she will begin her university studies at Forward College in September, with her sights set on politics and international relations. The life of Infanta Sofía in Chiado, Lisbon Chiado is not just any neighborhood. It has been a meeting place for artists, writers,…

I don’t know if you noticed, but Meghan Markle’s highly anticipated new wine didn’t fly off the shelves like many of us thought it would. The second edition of her Californian rosé, As Ever 2024, is still available days after its release. This, coming from someone with the ability to sell out in a matter of hours—as happened with the first batch—is striking, to say the least. And of course, the wine is still beautiful, summery, with that pale pink hue reminiscent of the Provençal style that is so popular on Instagram. Meghan herself described it as “delicately balanced,” with…

Although they had already fulfilled their most institutional engagement in Marivent, the King and Queen and their daughters treated us to one last appearance on Tuesday—very unexpected and quite revealing—before ending their summer in Mallorca. The reason? A private visit, albeit one that was thoroughly photographed, to the Paysage Miró exhibition at the Llotja in Palma. And as is often the case in these situations, the excuse was art, but fashion also played its part. Queen Letizia’s style Letizia, who had dazzled in Ibiza white the day before, changed her look completely and opted for a pink dress by Hugo…

Just when it seemed that the reception at Marivent would be the final touch to the King and Queen’s summer stay in Mallorca, the royal family gave us one last gesture that, although discreet, speaks volumes. This time there were no institutional flashes or speeches, but there was art, and a family portrait that reminds us why culture continues to be one of the most consistent themes on their agenda. Felipe VI, Letizia, Leonor, and Sofía were seen at the Llotja in Palma visiting one of the exhibitions of the great Paysage Miró project. It was a private visit, without…

In her most recent appearance at the Atlàntida Mallorca Film Fest, Queen Letizia once again made it clear that her style does not need flashiness to shine. This year, for the closing ceremony of the festival, she opted for a white linen dress, simple at first glance, but with details that reveal a refined taste. Queen Letizia’s Summer Style at the Mallorca Film Fest It is a short-sleeved piece with an asymmetrical sash that frames the waist and a midi length that was perfect for a summer night in Palma de Mallorca. The special touch came with the jewelry. Letizia…

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but during these Scottish summer days, King Charles has once again been seen at one of those rural events he loves so much, the Mey Highland Games. At first glance, everything seemed normal. Tartan kilt, smiles, greetings to the public… but there was one detail that did not go unnoticed: the walking stick. King Charles at the 2025 Mey Highland Games Yes, Charles III appeared with a walking stick in his hand, and of course, that was enough to reignite rumors about his health. But according to sources close to the palace—and reported by…
