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…
Let’s start by addressing my royal error in yesterday’s newsletter, as I was so torn up about it!
If you didn’t read the newsletter, I mistakenly identified the photo below – taken by Cecil Beaton – as Queen Elizabeth, when it was in fact Princess Margaret on her 21st birthday.
My poll of the day asked whether you liked this portrait of Princess Margaret, and 89 per cent said yes. As one commenter pointed out, the dress was very extravagant for its time…
Eagle-eyed Royal Clubbers were quick to spot the mistake – and I also fell down a rabbit hole looking at early photos of the two royal sisters. While different in personality, they certainly looked very similar – so do forgive me.
Poll of the day
As you will have read, King Charles is a fan of a certain sweet treat – more specifically, Walker’s shortbread.
The King is just like one of us, having his favourite types of biscuits – and you know what, sometimes you just need a sweet treat! My favourite biscuits are either dark chocolate digestives or white chocolate-covered Oreos with a cup of tea (of course) – a real treat.
Shortbread was a staple biscuit in my Scottish household growing up, and I have memories of trying Walker’s shortbread on special occasions. The Scots are well-known for their sugary delicacies, including Scottish tablet, which my dad is an expert at making. I wonder if King Charles has ever tried that…
Now for the poll of the day (no royal name mix-ups today):
Let me know in the comments – is your go-to sweet treat a pudding after dinner, or a particular biscuit dunked in a cup of tea?
Video of the day
Princess Catherine and Prince William visited the Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service today. It sounds like they had a fun day out – and you can read about Catherine joking that she wanted to drive with the sirens on. I can’t say I blame her…
I also liked that she re-wore one of her staple coats from back in 2022 – it’s always nice to see that she re-wears key pieces during the winter season, especially when one feels the urge to revamp their entire wardrobe!
Tuesday’s puzzles
See you tomorrow Royal Clubbers!

I like drinking tea. I drink tea all the time. I'm only allowed one biscuit because I have diabetes type 2, so I have to watch everything I eat, and that I'm only allowed not more than 60 carbs per meal, but the biscuits taste good.
Sincerely yours,

Everyone needs a break from the pace of the day. A biscuit and a tea or hot chocolate make the day a wonderful one. Enjoy people and forget about the ones who do not know how to enjoy a peaceful day.
