And the winner isā¦
Yesterday I asked if you like wearing florals, and 57 per cent of you said you do! It seems you share a similar style to Queen Camilla.
It wasnāt a poll question, but I did ask you to let me know if you had any remaining summer plans, and itās been lovely reading the comments and hearing what you're up to.
As I mentioned earlier this week, Iām off to Scotland this weekend ā although I doubt it will feel much like summer!
Poll of the day
As you will have read, a newly compiled list of surnames could mean that you have royal or aristocratic heritage.
I did have a read through the list, and unfortunately I donāt have any ties to Scottish royalty with my surname.
However, I ended up down a rabbit hole researching my last name, and apparently, āMacRobertā originated from a Scottish self-made millionaire called Sir Alexander MacRobert.
Iāll definitely be asking my family about thisā¦
So for todayās poll:
Iām so intrigued by this question, and you must let me know in the comments if weāre among royaltyā¦ or if you have any unusual connections to your surname ā those are always such interesting stories to read!
Picture of the day
As the summer season starts to wind down, weāre hearing the last of the remaining royal plans.
Excitingly, Queen Mary and King Frederik will board the Royal Yacht Dannebrog for a late summer cruise from 25 to 28 August.
Their trip will begin at Frederikshavn Municipality on the island of Jutland and conclude with a visit to SamsĆø Municipality on 28 August.
Iāve actually never been on a cruise, and while I think it would be fun to hop between different countries, Iām so afraid Iād get seasick or cabin fever.
Have any of you ever been on a cruise like the Danish royals?
Fridaysās puzzles
Thatās all for this week Royal Clubbers. See you on Monday!

Royal holiday habits: from Queen Victoria to the present day
I have never been on cruise would love to go on one around the British isles or Europe. Might have seasickness but it will be mighty ship so hopefully I will be okay.
I have been on a very small cruise ship, with about 25 passengers. It was in Fiji, the Blue Lagoon cruise through the Yasawa islands, back in the 1980s. Thoroughly enjoyable. I wouldnāt fancy a large cruise ship though!
