Don’t look so baleful, Harry. We love you. Also in this week’s post: MANY Easter ensembles and one very fancy desk.
Here at GFY, we more fully covered Harry’s arrival for his month in Australia here.
We also have a tremendously exciting royal week on a personal front in that our novel, The Royal We, is finally in stores and online and ready for you to read! It’s even a pick in this week’s People magazine, which is basically the most exciting thing that ever happened to me. Actually, that’s not true: The most exciting part is getting to talk to you guys about the book in a real and non-theoretical way. Heather and I have been living with Nick and Bex for over a year and a half now, and we’re SO EXCITED that you guys know them now, too. Thank you all so much for all your amazing support of us, and of the book. I honestly can’t thank you enough.
