We are BACK IN BUSINESS, royal-watching friends!

If you missed it earlier this week:

Kate opened a garden for kids in Surrey with MARY BERRY! and it was charming.

Meghan launched her capsule collection with Smart Works and it was also charming.

Oh! Meghan also came out to the women’s final of the US Open on Saturday.

Here’s some other stuff you might want to read:

At Vanity Fair, Kate Nicholl reports on Harry and Meghan’s upcoming trip. I’m looking forward to this trip; it promises to be interesting and educational and full of piano pictures.

At Town & Country, very pertinent to our interests: Looking Back at King George V, Queen Mary, and Princess Mary—the Real-Life Royals in the Downton Abbey Film. Apparently, the movie is based on a true story, a bit.

At Tatler:  The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to collaborate with Richard Curtis. On a movie! (Not really.) (I don’t think.)

This is very good, at the New York Times: Misha Nonoo, Close Personal Friend of Meghan Markle, Speaks

Lainey’s got the latest on what’s happening with Prince Andrew and the Epstein scandal. (Andrew actually had a few events this week and I did not spend my money on those photos for obvious reasons. I cannot BELIEVE he’s still GOING PLACES. JESUS.)

Vogue runs down Meghan’s weekend in New York.

And LOOK, social media things!
