Royals Round-Up, January 26th 2018

So much happened this week! We have a great deal to discuss!

First of all: Another royal wedding is afoot! Princess Eugenie and her longtime boyfriend Jack are engaged.

Wills and Kate are off to a trip in Norway and Sweden next week, and I picked some potential looks for Kate.

Also, Kate visited a school this week, and also opened a hospital.

ELSEWHERE:

People reports that Harry is currently in Botswana visiting various conservation charities. (Meghan is at home, presumably trying to figure out where everyone is supposed to sit at their reception.)

Meghan’s very good friend Priyanka Chopra has spoken a bit about the aforementioned royal romance; she is so charming but doesn’t really say anything shockingly dishy. [W]

As usual, Town and Country has good royals dish: Chris Jackson talked to them about photographing the royals, and the woman behind DeMellier London talks about how exciting and crazy it was when Meghan carried one of their bags. (THOSE BAGS ARE SO GOOD.)

Our friends at The Court Jeweller pose a very important question: THE SPENCER TIARA FOR MEGHAN MARKLE?

And, on Social Media:

The Duke of Cambridge this morning delivered the keynote speech at the Charity Commission's Annual Public Meeting. "Supporting charities is at the heart of what I – and the whole Royal Family – do… Some of my earliest memories relate to times that my parents spoke to me or – even better – showed me what it meant to have both privilege and responsibilities. I remember being taken by my mother to a homelessness shelter at a young age, her explaining to me why the people I met there matter; why no society can be healthy unless we take other people seriously… As a young child, I recall evening after evening my father's diligence and compassion as he applied himself to answering thousands of letters and reading endless reports in order to stay on top of his ambition to do all he could to help the underprivileged." Read the full speech on The Royal Family website.

In Congleton town centre, The Prince of Wales found his namesake pub – The Prince of Wales! TRH stopped by to say hello to the staff, and also to the crowds outside who had bought flags made especially for TRH’s visit. At the Town Hall, TRH were received by a Guard of Honour from the @aircadets, @armycadetsuk, @scouts and Guides. TRH met several community groups within the town hall, before saying thank you to the town’s residents, and unveiling a plaque. . . . #ThePrinceofWales #TheDuchessofCornwall #Congleton #Cheshire #TownHall #Army #Scouts #Cadets
