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

And the winner is…
In yesterday’s poll I asked whether you thought Princess Catherine had undergone a style evolution – and 83 per cent of you said she had!
As one Royal Clubber commented, she has become more elegant in style over the years – which I totally agree with – and it reflects her powerful role within the family.
Poll of the day
As you will have read, a new portrait of King Charles has been released.
I really like it as it shows him in one of his happiest places – Balmoral Castle. This royal residence is always associated with family and summer holidays for the royals, so it’s no surprise he looks relaxed and at peace in the picture.
I wonder what the royals do with new portraits… do they hang mini versions up in their home? Will it be the face of the 2025 Christmas card? It’s certainly still quite a summery photo, though, as it’s set in the garden.
But what are your thoughts on it…
Picture of the day
The British royals have been getting a lot of attention over a busy few weeks, so to end the week, here’s a new photo of Jordan’s Crown Prince Hussein, Princess Rajwa, and their daughters, Princess Iman and Princess Salma. What a gorgeous family!
The pictures were shared in celebration of their daughters’ birthdays, and I can’t help but notice how alike they all look! Not to mention how glossy their hair is – what products are they using?!
Given their striking looks, it also got me thinking of attractive royals, both past and present. I must say I am big fan of Sweden’s Prince Carl Philip. Let me know if you are of a similar mind in the comments (or provide your own personal favourite royal hunk or belle!).
