Hi Royal Clubbers, it’s Iona here.
You don’t have to be aspirant members of The Thursday Murder Club to notice something a little awry with this email. Yes, it’s arrived a good 15 hours later than it should have done. I thought I had scheduled it to send at the usual time so was rather disconcerted to see it distinctly unsent when I logged on this morning. I hope you aren’t too put out by the mishap, and I can ensure you it’s worth the wait! So without further ado, here’s the best of the royal coverage over on HELLO! YESTERDAY!.
Beaming Princess Catherine returns to royal duties alongside Prince William after 7-week break
Meghan Markle hints at new career move amid uncertainty over series 3 of Netflix show
King Charles comments on physical struggles after 70 as he issues update on cancer recovery
Queen Maxima's youngest daughter Princess Ariane confirms post-graduation plans
And the winner is…
On Wednesday I asked if you if you felt the royal children should use their titles at school, and the results were overwhelmingly conclusive. 95 per cent of you felt that the children shouldn’t use their titles.
William and Catherine have been very clear that they want their children to have as normal an upbringing as possible, and nothing says ‘unusual’ like ‘Prince George’ being called out in the class register!
Royal Clubber Chandra said: “They should be able to enjoy their time at school without too much publicity. They deserve to be comfortable and blend in with the other children.” I quite agree.
Poll of the (previous) day
As you will have seen, Princess Catherine debuted a striking new look today with a much lighter, blonde hue in her elbow-length hair during an outing to the Natural History Museum.
The summery look has divided royal fans, as some prefer the darker hair tone we are used to seeing from the Princess of Wales, while others welcome the change.
So for today’s poll:
I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Picture of the (previous) day
Queen Camilla had two little helpers from Dulwich Village Infants' School to open the new Artplay Pavilion at Dulwich Picture Gallery. They look extremely excited about the responsibility!

So much prettier with her gorgeous shining brunette hair. The blonde (and it isn’t really blonde) doesn’t suit her skin tone
No problem with the blonde hair I really understand her need for a big change that she controls after what she’s been through. I do think if she cut off about 3 inches her hair would look better with less weight pulling it down.
