Harry and Meghan have been out of the royal family for six years, but their recent trip to Jordan felt like an official tour, as they visited a hospital, a youth center, and an organization dedicated to distributing food in crisis areas. They traveled at the invitation of the Director-General of the World Health Organization, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, met with Jordanian leaders and senior health officials, and participated in a WHO roundtable. Why the trip is seen as a not-so-subtle message to the Prince and Princess of Wales Author and royal researcher Ingrid Seward offers an interesting take on…

Rumors had been circulating for months, but now there are images. Victoria Federica and Jorge Navalpotro appeared together at Paris Fashion Week, which in the royal world is tantamount to a public declaration. It was the first time they were seen as a couple at an event of that level, and their connection was evident. For months, there had been rumors that the daughter of Infanta Elena had been dating the owner of a famous concert hall in Madrid. What is known about Jorge Navalpotro? Jorge Navalpotro is no stranger to Madrid, although he has so far managed to stay…

Prince Harry’s long-standing lawsuit against Associated Newspapers, the publishing group behind The Daily Mail, reached a tense moment in the High Court this week. The 41-year-old Duke of Sussex claims that several articles published between 2001 and 2013 about his private life were made possible by the interception of voice messages. In total, their lawsuit concerns 14 articles. Harry is not alone in this; he is also suing the group, including Sir Elton John and his husband, David Furnish, among others, alleging that journalists hired private investigators to listen to calls, hack voicemails, and obtain private records through illegal methods.…

This Sunday, Princess Kate and Prince William released a joint video to celebrate St. David’s Day, the patron saint of Wales. Nothing extravagant, just a brief and warm message from home. A symbolic gesture, consistent with Kate’s gradual return to the public eye. But of course, the look generated the most conversation. Kate Middleton wore an Alessandra Rich dress again The princess chose a dress by Alessandra Rich, who has been one of her favorite designers for years. Interestingly, the piece is not new at all, as it is from the spring/summer 2020 collection and was first worn in May…

It’s well known that Princess Leonor arouses curiosity within Spain. But what I find fascinating is what’s happening on the other side of the Atlantic. In the United States, videos of her military training went viral, and that was no coincidence. Erin Vanderhoof, the culture and royalty editor at Vanity Fair USA, explains it bluntly. This phenomenon signaled that the future of the House of Bourbon would embody values we could admire, such as public service, precision, and a sense of fun. Why Princess Leonor particularly resonates with Latin American millennials In Mexico, the situation is different. Alejandro Ortiz, content…

The British government confirmed this week that it will release files related to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s time as the UK’s trade envoy. Pressure came from the Liberal Democrats, who introduced a motion in Parliament, and Labour’s Chris Bryant, the Trade Minister, readily supported it. All this comes as Thames Valley Police continue to investigate Andrew, who was arrested on February 19th on suspicion of misconduct in public office for allegedly leaking confidential documents to Jeffrey Epstein. He was released pending investigation and has consistently denied any wrongdoing. Bryant didn’t just announce the publication. He went much further. In the House of…

Princess Leonor’s training extends far beyond aircraft and helicopters. While she continues her military training at the General Air Force Academy, a parallel program is designed to prepare her for another front: language and diplomacy. According to sources close to the Zarzuela Palace, Leonor is studying Arabic and Mandarin Chinese, two languages chosen for their importance in today’s global economy. According to the same sources, English and French are already like native languages to her. This is not a minor detail. The goal is for the future head of state to be able to participate independently in international meetings without…

For years, Queen Letizia has been a prominent supporter of Tous, the Spanish jewelry firm founded by Salvador Tous and Rosa Oriol. But during her visit to Huesca on Tuesday, the nod was a bit more specific. The mother of Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia unveiled earrings from Suot Studio, a project launched a couple of years ago by Marta Tous, the daughter of the company’s founders, as her own creative laboratory. The chosen design featured a green chalcedony from the Half Cut collection, set in vermeil silver and finished with an 18-carat gold plating. The rest of the look…

No one expected them, yet they still stole the night. Prince William and Princess Kate made a surprise appearance at the BAFTAs on February 22nd. She wore a lilac Gucci dress with a burgundy velvet belt, and he wore a matching burgundy tuxedo. A coordinated look that immediately sends a clear message: a united front. Body language expert Judi James summarized it this way, noting that the matching outfits “radiate messages of being one bonded unit and a royal power couple.” But beneath all that elegance, there was something more. James detected “subtle signs of suppressed or masked tension” in…

Princess Leonor has already flown solo. In December, she successfully completed one of her major challenges during her training at the General Air and Space Academy in San Javier, Murcia, where she serves as an officer cadet. It wasn’t just a symbolic gesture or a pretty photo; she completed theoretical training, simulator exercises, and real flight time in the Pilatus PC-21, the advanced training aircraft currently used by the academy’s students. The Palacio de la Zarzuela confirmed this in detail, adding that Leonor “pilots jets just like her peers.” No privileges, no shortcuts. Now, the next step is to Granada.…

The Prince and Princess of Wales were not on the official guest list, but they made an appearance on Sunday night at the Royal Festival Hall in London for the BAFTA Awards, walking the red carpet. Prince William is the honorary president of the academy, so it’s not entirely surprising. What was unexpected, however, was the prince’s confession on the red carpet that his wife, Catherine, had watched “Hamnet” on Saturday and ended up crying her eyes out. The princess herself confirmed it without hesitation. She said watching it was a very bad idea because she ended up with very…

When the U.S. Department of Justice’s files on Jeffrey Epstein came to light, the names of Sarah Ferguson and former Prince Andrew once again became central to the story. In that context, the former Duchess of York made a decision that did not go unnoticed: she left the United Kingdom and settled in Paracelsus Recovery, a rehabilitation clinic in Zurich, according to the Daily Mail. This is not the first time Ferguson has been linked to this center. She has recorded promotional videos for them and wrote about the clinic in The Telegraph. So, the choice was not random. A…
