Camilla looks AMAZING this week. Plus: Two apologetic Dutch royals; some sensible coats; and at least one boat.
ICYMI here on GFY, Wills and Kate had an event earlier this week.
Also: Has new Prince Charles on The Crown Dominic West EVER looked like Chaz? WE INVESTIGATE!
And elsewhere:
We cover this a bit in the slideshow, but, at Vanity Fair: Dutch King Willem-Alexander Apologizes After Greek Vacation Scandal. Yikes!

This is a very interesting piece about a Black musician at the Tudor court, via Historic Royal Palaces.
Also at HRP, this is SUPER interesting: Zeinab Badawi on Sarah Forbes Bonetta and “contested history”. Sarah Forbes Bonetta is an Egbado princess who became Queen Victoria’s protegé — we talked about her a bit a few weeks ago.

Also at T&C, Heather and I are quoted in this little piece about Diana’s wedding gown! (They cut out the bit where we both noted we didn’t actually watch the wedding live, as we were too little.)

Here, Google Translate helps: “Crown Prince Haakon today visited the former Falstad prison camp in Trøndelag. 75 years have passed since the liberation of Norway. ’It is great that young people can come here and relive history. That way we are reminded of what freedom costs, because there were many who sacrificed a lot for us to have that freedom. We can not take freedom for granted,’ he said after the visit. Today, the Falstad Center is housed in the buildings of the former prison camp – a place that brings history to life for new generations.”
