Now, I just know this is going to make your day, but finally the official website to the upcoming British royal wedding is now online.
The website is quite nice and has a lot of features including videos and links to Clarence House’s official Twitter page. The site also has key information about the service, procession, reception, and other inane crap.

On March 1, 2011, the future Princess of Monaco, Charlene Wittstock, enjoyed the afternoon on the slopes in Gstaad, Switzerland with her friends. Meanwhile, HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco was no where to be found. Why? He was on his way back to sunny Monaco to prepare for his upcoming trip to Fort Myers, Florida. So what’s the upcoming trip all about for the Prince? Well, it’s a semi-important gig that no one cares about called The Art of the Olympians (I mentioned it about a month ago which you can read here.) But, that doesn’t matter.
🙂
Moving on, Charlene and her friends continued to enjoy themselves in the snow as well as partaking in a cozy carriage ride (poor horse.) It is unknown, as usual, how long the happy future Princess of Monaco will stay in Gstaad, but one thing is for sure… she’ll be back in Monaco or South Africa sooner than you think.
Now, I have to say this because it is so sad. It seems that there are a small group of people who say that Charlene is hamming it up/attention whoring it for the cameras whilst in Gstaad, but I disagree. I see a normal woman having fun like any other sane person on planet Earth. I mean, who wouldn’t? She’s on vacation with friends, FFS, whilst being photographed by the paparazzi.

With only months to go before their princely wedding in Monaco, HSH Prince Albert II and his lovely fiancée, Charlene Wittstock, enjoyed a quick getaway in beautiful Gstaad, Switzerland.
The couple, along with their friends, enjoyed a day on the slopes this past February 26, 2011. It is unknown how long they will stay in Gstaad, but one thing is for sure… they looked as if they were having fun and Charlene remains better than you while doing so.

It was announced this afternoon, February 28, 2011, that HIRH Prince Georg Friedrich of Prussia will marry HSH Princess Sophie von Isenburg on August 27, 2011. The wedding ceremony will be held at the Friedenskirche in Potsdam, Germany.
At this time it is unknown who will attend the wedding ceremony; however, one could deduce that many of the non-reigning royal and princely houses in Germany will attend along with several reigning royal houses.
Stay tuned for more information about the upcoming wedding.

I thought I would share this bit of information with all of you. Starting on March 19, 2011, there will be a new exhibit opening at the magnificent Château de Versailles entitled Thrones in Majesty.
Per the official website for Château de Versailles:
Approximately 40 emblematic thrones from different periods and civilisations are on display in the Grand Apartments of the palace of Versailles. They will help visitors better understand the universality of the seated representation of religious or political authority.
Thrones in Majesty features exceptional pieces on loan from the Vatican, Beijing’s Forbidden City and royal palaces in Madrid, Warsaw and other European capitals. Emblematic chairs, including those of King Dagobert, Napoleon, the restored king Louis XVIII and Pope Pius VII’s sedia gestatoria are on display with Taino, African, Chinese, Thai and other thrones in a fitting setting.
Here is a small clip detailing what visitors can expect to see: Video
So if you happen to be visiting France, or perhaps you live there, between March 19 through June 19, 2011 it would definitely be worth checking out this exhibit at Château de Versailles.
