We had lots of royals coverage this week, in case you missed it. (A lot is coming up this upcoming week, too!)

Harry and Meghan did another engagement and held hands and were very charming together.

We got new pictures of Princess Charlotte!

And Wills and Kate and Philip went to church together this weekend.
