Beware of Faux Royal Drama

You walk down the isle of your local grocery store, and you see articles about a "feud" between Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. Maybe you believe the headlines, maybe you don't. But, here's the real facts, it's fake news. People are just assuming that there is tension between the two sisters in law. There is no proof, no clear fact we can point to with the assured knowledge it is what it seems to be. For, example, we don't know the real reason Meghan wasn't at Catherine's birthday party, or why the Sussexes are moving to Windsor. So, my message to the people who are creating the drama is to stop it. These are real people who you keep spreading rumors about, and even Kensington Palace, who rarely comments on these rumors, has intervened in an attempt to stop the drama. So, in conclusion, take everything you hear about a feud between Catherine and Meghan with a grain of salt, because you don't know the whole stor

The Cambridges Were In Scotland Today!

Today, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, (William and Catherine, otherwise known as Kate,) took a trip to Scotland, more specifically Dundee. They went to Dundee to open up a Victoria and Albert Museum. Apart from opening up the museum, the Duchess had a sweet moment with a girl in the crowd, and let her touch her hair. Fun Royal Fact: Catherine "Kate" Middleton and Prince William actually met in Scotland, at University of St.Andrews, not far from the capital city Edinburgh.  Fun Royal Fact #2: The Duchess actually rewore an outfit that she had previously worn to Scotland in 2012.

Why Do Royals Not Give Signatures?

What could be cooler than a signed letter, photograph, or object from your favorite royal? Well, in my world, that is high on my list of cool things. But, that is not going to happen for me, or you either. Why? Because the members of almost every royal family follow the universal royal code of don't give signatures. This is because of forgery reasons and to make it impossible to recreate and sign documents as them. Also, most royals aren't going to accept food from you either, because it is a safety and health precaution. But, if you want correspondence with a member of the royal family, write them a letter, you will eventually get a response! But, if you have something signed by Meghan Markle from her Suits days, let me know! You are one of the lucky few who will ever have Meghan Markle's signature!

A Royal Style Difference

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex have very different styles, but there is maybe a detail that you haven't noticed that divides Catherine's style from Meghan's in a not so distinct way. If you have been paying attention to the outfits the Duchess of Cambridge has been wearing since she came back from her six month maternity leave, you may have noticed that most of her outfits have been worn before. The Duchess of Sussex, however, rarely re-wears her clothing, at least in public. Perhaps the Duchess of Sussex hasn't accumulated as big a closet as the Duchess of Cambridge, so she feels it would be repetitive to continuously re-wear the same dress, or, more likely, she is buying new maternity clothes, because she is expecting her first child in the spring. So, stay on the lookout for the Duchess of Cambridge's style, because you might see her wear an old favorite dress! Images by: Tom Soper Photography and  Office of the G
