Hello, friends! This week’s Royals Round-Up is bringing you many patterned skirts. ENJOY!

PS: If you missed it earlier this week, Kate and Wills had an outing. She wore blue.

And, elsewhere on the internet:

– I KNOW you’re going to want to read this at Town & Country, although I guess it’s not TECHNICALLY royal-related, but…whatever: Newly Discovered Photographs Reveal Life at the Real Downton Abbey

– At Vanity Fair, how Kate may have celebrated her 35th birthday on Monday.

– Princess Margaret’s husband, Lord Snowdon, has died. The Independent has quite a good obit, and by “good,” I mean “juicy.” It includes being temporarily blinded, mistresses killing themselves, many many affairs, polio, very bad behavior towards one’s spouse, secret illegitimate children, and — on the other side of the coin — excellent work on the behalf of the disabled.

– This week’s Tiara Thursday at Order of Splendor is VERY interesting.

– Japan Times reports that Crown Prince Naruhito may take the throne on Jan. 1, 2019.

– Hello! reports on the ways Princess Diana will be honored this year, the 20th anniversary of her death.

– How CUTE Princess Madeline’s kids are! [People]

And, finally, some bits and bobs from Royal Social Media:
