SO MUCH TO DISCUSS THIS WEEK. Well, mostly that Wills and Kate are having another baby! (Um, but Prince Harry got a good waxwork? That’s a good gift to the world, also.) There’s loads of Brits in the slideshow, but also I bring you Maxima! Letizia! Crown Princess Mary! And the following:
- Hello! brings us Windsor babies through the ages.
- Chaz hopes Kate’s having a girl. (The Mirror)
- Harry is ALSO delighted about the baby, because he “can’t wait to see [William] suffer more.” (Vanity Fair)
- Vanity Fair’s coverage of the royals is reliably enjoyable; they think Kate’s Malta trip may well be off. (They also are implying that Harry’s birthday is off, which is not going to happen, y’all. I mean, she’s on bed rest right now, so she’s probably not cooking it, but HARRY WILL PARTY.)
- Well, this is a relief: Archbishop of Canterbury likely to lead funeral of Richard III. Actually, I think that event will be highly fascinating. I am related to the Plantagenents, do you think I’ll get invited? I demand an invite. (The Telegraph)
- ITV has video of Harry announcing that he is delighted that he’s one head further from being King with this new baby on the way.
- Which Royal Baby Is This? (Radio Times)
- Oooh,Secrets of Britain’s Royal Jewels! (The Court Jeweller)
- Our friends at The Duchess Diary talks to Penny Junor, whose new book about Prince Harry seems to be both juicy and possesses a dreamy cover (I just got a copy this week!) about all kinds of Royals Reporter-type questions.
- This is an interesting take on the Scottish independence question, which I obviously cannot begin to pretend I really fully understand the intricacies of, noting that if Scotland does vote for independence, The Queen will be very VERY upset. (The Telegraph)
