Infanta Elena in her much loved cream fedora first, to celebrate her aunt Infanta Pilar’s 80th birthday last weekend (Semana) and again later this week on vacation in Mallorca (Getty). We see Elena in a lot of fedoras but the one she wore yesterday in Mallorca is undoubtedly my favourite so far. That is some raspberry fedora goodness.

Acclaimed Canadian journalist Peter Mansbridge interviewed Peter and Autumn Philips in the days leading up to the Queen’s 90th birthday. I had meant to share this earlier (my apologies) and while some of the interview’s relevance has passed, Autumn gives a glimpse of what it’s like for a foreigner to marry in to the British Royal Family that’s most interesting.
