Hi Royal Clubbers, it’s Iona here.
First up, here’s the best of the royal coverage over on HELLO! today.
Prince William's impressive grades and more royal GCSE results
Princess Beatrice's stepson Wolfie to join summer family tradition
'Nail in the coffin' for King Charles' 775-room home
Queen Camilla pictured shopping with granddaughter during Highland holiday
Queen Mary offers tour of 'wild' garden at private home amid rare TV appearance
And the winner is…
Sixty-eight per cent of you voted no to wearing heels – and you know what, fashion is a choice – I can’t argue with that!
I do enjoy reading your comments on the polls of the day, so keep sharing your thoughts.
Poll of the day
As you will have read, Princess Beatrice’s stepson, Wolfie, is headed to Balmoral for the summer break.
The array of outdoor activities at Balmoral (which would amuse a nine-year-old such as Wolfie) includes wild swimming, cycling, and presumably a lot of scenic walking.
To be honest, on my last holiday in Portugal, my friend and I did try to be adventurous – and both times, things went wrong.
We booked canoeing, but when we arrived we were advised to cancel due to gusty winds.
We also went to a water park, but the slides were so fast we had zero energy after about two of them.
That said, if I were truly forced to, I’d do outdoor activities – as long as they were on the ground and didn’t involve heights. Maybe I wouldn’t survive a summer at Balmoral, by the sounds of it…
So for today’s poll:
Picture of the day
I think it’s very cool (and rather modern) of Queen Mary to be starring in a Danish TV show about gardens.
So for picture of the day, here’s a preview photo of the royal on the television show Søren Vester’s Garden – Biodiversity and Castle Gardens.
Wouldn’t it be great if British royals made more appearances on TV?
Let me know in the comments if there are any favourite shows you’d love to see a royal make a cameo on!
Wednesday’s puzzles
That’s all for today Royal Clubbers. See you tomorrow!
