The Spanish royals have been working. Leti looked smart in her navy Hugo Boss separates. Heading north, Max visited a grocery store and waste management plant – never say the royal life isn’t glamorous! Especially when Max gets to pose next to the Corona display. See it all here.

- There will be a mini Trooping the Colour for the Queen’s Birthday.
- The Countess of Wessex is on the cover of the Sunday Times supplement. If anyone has a subscription and wants to summarize for us, we won’t object. Hey good lookin’! That applies to both the lady and the little of the interior of Bagshot that we can see.

Tiara Sighting
We aren’t getting many tiara wearings these days. This is the first sighting of this whopper in sixty years, so it’s doubly exciting. Not much is published about it, but it is a Big Gun by any definition. As always, the fabulous Tiara Mania spotted it.

Charles and Camilla Carry On
Charles gave an interview to Sky News, talking about the effect social distancing has had on families, and on him personally. LiL asked why he kept looking around, and then we realized he was trying to include the camera operators in the conversation.
In his most wide ranging interview about the pandemic and the post-Covid recovery, this was an answer I never expected to get. #PrinceCharles telling me video calls with his family are no replacement for a hug, & that he misses his father Prince Philip #AfterThePandemic @SkyNews pic.twitter.com/nnFshtwquG

It was Volunteer Week last week in Britain, and Camilla recorded a video in support of the cause. She gave a us a new background to analyze, too. She is ever so kind.
William has been volunteering, too, at a national crisis hotline. He and Kate lent support to all volunteers with this video.
Sweden’s National Day
It was Sweden’s National Day last weekend, and the royals were photographed in folk dress. I am loving Estelle’s version here. Per Handbaggie Polyscias, “Estelle’s dress is from Skedevi (it’s the summer dress) in her duchy Östergötland. Oscar is wearing the costume of Ingelstad in his duchy of SkÃ¥ne. Victoria’s dress is from her duchy Västergötland, Vadsbo village.”
To celebrate the Swedish National day tomorrow the Duchess of Västergötland, the Duchess of Östergötland and the Duke of Skåne have been photographed wearing traditional costumes from their respective duchies. Dad wore a suit.

A change of costume, into the national folk dress for Estelle and a mini-Daniel outfit for Oscar. I don’t know if it’s the angle or what, but mercy, their smiles are exactly the same here.
Every National Day, a very large number of visitors tour the Royal Palace, which offers extended hours and different activities. This year, the Castle is closed. In lieu of the in person experience, Victoria filmed a series of shorter digital guided tours of a number of selected halls at the Castle. Swedish June light and Scandinavian interiors? It’s all wonderful, and it’s all on Instagram.
What did I miss?
