Diana, Princess of Wales, was the most famous woman of the late twentieth century, and August 31 is the two-decade anniversary of her death. Consequently, the media business on both sides of the Atlantic plans to spend the next few weeks in a total, shameless scramble for ratings.
If Prince Charles would like to add another title to his impressive pile, perhaps he would consider accepting the billing of “Prince of Transylvania.”
Have you talked to grandpa since he got back from Italy? Yeah, sounds like he and Camilla had a great time.
Yum, does that taste like old English tea?
Ryan Murphy is still working hard at his goal of turning FX into a gayer version of The History Channel, as it’s just been announced that the second season of his anthology series Feud will explore the fraught relationship between Prince Charles and his late wife, Diana.
As Prince Charles understands, a towel has great practical value.

Queen Elizabeth II visited a grocery store yesterday. There have been weddings less thoroughly documented than this 90-year-old woman’s weekday stroll through a Waitrose.

To mark Queen Elizabeth II’s 90th birthday tomorrow, she sat for a portrait with her heirs, her son, grandson, and great-grandson, who was styled like a schoolboy circa 1906 and standing on a stack of what appear to be foam blocks wrapped in a very nice ribbon.

On this day in 1981, Princes Charles officially announced his engagement to the beautiful, 19-year-old Lady Diana Spencer. Sadly, we know how it all turned out, but there’s no question it launched a thousand tabloid pages.
To no one’s surprise, despite being by all accounts a fond grandfather, Prince Charles has not changed a single diaper since the arrival of his wee Edwardian descendant George. Obviously.
Either a very devoted Princess Di fan or an adventurous eater purchased a slice of cake from the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer in 1981. Though Los Angeles-based auction house Nate D. Sanders had estimated $4,000 for the sale of the 34-year-old cake, it ended up going to a buyer for $1,375. What a…
You’ve probably heard a lot of folderol about how Will & Kate & Harry are so hip and stylish and young and generally the most media-friendly thing that’s happened to the monarchy in years.
