Hi Royal Clubbers, it’s Iona here.
First up, here’s the best of the royal coverage over on HELLO! today.

King Charles and Queen Camilla to travel to the Vatican next week - all the details
And the winner is…
Apologies yesterday for the no poll (I’m blame it on a Substack poltergeist given we are approaching Halloween) – however, if you didn’t catch the news a very (very) bizarre souvenir from Queen Elizabeth’s wedding is going up for auction.
The fact that a piece of wedding cake from Queen Elizabeth’s 1947 wedding still exists is quite the story. I’m still intrigued to know your thoughts on this – would you keep a slice of royal history like that?
Poll of the day
As you will have read, King Charles and Queen Camilla are travelling to the Vatican next week.
I’ve never been to Vatican City – or to Rome – though it’s very high up on my solo trip list! I think it would be such an interesting and culturally rich place to explore, so I must admit I’m a little envious of Charles and Camilla getting a bit of winter sun before the year’s out…
I’d love to know – have any of you been to Rome before? If so, what were your favourite sights or hidden gems?
Picture of the day
I thought this made for a cheery Friday picture – Prince William was out and about today, visiting the London Ambulance Service (LAS) in Waterloo.
It’s lovely to see how engaged he is in conversation with the first responders, and he certainly seemed to be in good spirits!
Friday’s puzzles
See you on Monday, Royal Clubbers!

I was a Nannie there for the manager of the Gritti Palace in Venice.
It was an extraordinary occasion during the Pope's visit and we were caught up in the crowds of onlookers.
