Friday at last! I have a variety of things to bring you — further bits and bobs from the Casiraghi/Borromeo wedding and King Felipe in shorts on a boat among them! If you missed it, we had coverage of the aforementioned Casiraghi/Borromeo wedding over the weekend and, you guys, it was SO PRETTY. It might have been my actual dream wedding.
As a reminder, in case you’ve been off on vacay for the last couple of weeks, The Royal We is now available on e-book basically everywhere.
