Happy weekend, everyone!
Allow me to remind you, once again, that our book, The Royal We, is out and about and very appropriate for your Nearly Summer Poolside Readings, if you haven’t picked it up. If you’re still on the fence, by the way, those first seven chapters are still free. And, elsewhere:
– This is interesting, at The Hollywood Reporter: Cannes: What the Color of Your Badge Says About You
– Also at THR, ALSO intriguing: The Dark Side of Monaco, Uncovered: Murder, Tabloid-Ready Royal Marriage, Art-World Sting Among Newest Scandals
– Center Stage is 15 this week! It’s a sophomore in high school; next year, it will learn how to drive! Celebrate with EW.
