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

Princess Catherine's 'smoked suede brunette' hair is about to be the shade of the season
And the winner is…
On Friday I asked if your surname had any link to the royal family. Sadly, 84 per cent of you said no, but to the 16 per cent who said yes – can you reveal yourselves, or do we actually have royalty in our presence?
Don’t be disheartened if your name has no royal connection. After a lovely weekend in Scotland with my Granny, I’m very proud of my non-royal Scottish roots and wouldn’t change them for the world!
Poll of the day
As you will have read, Princess Catherine’s hair looked noticeably lighter over the weekend and a lot more blonde.
I absolutely love this honey-toned shade on Princess Catherine. It feels like the perfect time for a ‘new hair, new me’ moment, with her upcoming move to Forest Lodge and the end of summer approaching.
I’m all for the new hair – it really suits her and gives her that post-summer radiant glow.
So for today’s poll…
Do you ever change up your hair at the end of summer, or have any other TLC rituals?
Mine are always to clear out my wardrobe in time for autumn, tick off forgotten admin tasks (like booking the dentist), and definitely start scouring the shops for winter wear.
Picture of the day
Prince Jigyel Ugyen Wangchuck, the former heir to the Bhutanese throne, married Ugen Choden Namgyel in a romantic ceremony on 25 August. Here is the first released photo from the wedding at Dechencholing Palace, though interestingly it isn’t of the happy couple but of the groom’s half brother, King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and his wife, Queen Jetsun.
The Bhutanese monarchy has been quite private about the event, and I, for one, always find it fascinating to learn about other cultures and their wedding traditions.
Perhaps more pictures will be released in the coming weeks!
Do you have any weddings coming up this year? Let me know!
Monday’s puzzles

Yes, I do. I lighten my hair for summer and then in fall I will darken it.
