Camilla is really being the workhorse of the British Royal Family right now! God knows where the rest of them are at the moment. Well, the Queen gets to stay home to protect her from germs; Andrew is in a crevasse somewhere; Edward is ???????; Sophie was in quarantine because she got exposed to Covid; Anne is probably doing something deeply sensible without photographers present; Wills and Kate have been locked in the basement by Charlotte during an overly enthusiastic game of hide and seek and still have not managed to reason their way out; Euj is busy gestating; and Bea is I dunno. Working on her Halloween costume with her new husband? Sure! Anyway, still plenty to discuss and at least one good coat in this slideshow, so have at it.

At VF: Prince Andrew Is Displaying a New “Level of Maturity”— But Don’t Count on a Comeback. A new level of maturity at 60 years old! (VF reports that Chaz’s take on Andy making a return to public life is, more or less, “not bloody likely.” Charles has been trying to push out the Yorks for years! As if he’s going to change his mind NOW.)
At People: Princess Margaret’s Grandson Arthur Chatto Is Now a Personal Trainer! (He’s also going to university.) He is very buff, as my mother would put it.
This is a fun logistical piece at BBC about how all the royal palaces handle the time-change on all their many many old and fragile clocks.
