So much to cover today! Wills and Kate had an event which we dealt with earlier in its own post. Also: Mathilde and Phillipe are visiting Japan! Letizia wore an amazing suit! The Spanish princesses were cute! A pretender to a throne (!!!!) got married!
And in case you missed it earlier this week:
Wills and Kate and Harry came out to ride the London Eye.
And Kate took her first solo international visit, to the Netherlands.

– Order of Splendor has fascinating coverage of the Albanian “royal” wedding. (Can you use the word “royal” without air quotes when the groom is a PRETENDER TO THE THRONE? Which is also one of my favorite phrases, also.)
Some great looks from Queen Rania this week:
