This Week in Princesses

With so many princesses in the news lately, I've decided to add a new feature to the Princess Palace: a photo round-up of the week that was.

JUNE 5, 2010

Kennedy at Arlington National Cemetery as Crown Prince Frederik looks on in Arlington, Virginia June 5, 2010.

Crown Princess Mary of Denmark replaces her shoe after getting it stuck in a crack during an official visit to Washington, D.C. That's not the Secret Service in the background--behind those dark shades is her husband Crown Prince Frederick.

I haven't seen Princess Stephanie of Monaco wearing headphones like this since she tried to be a pop singer in the 1980s. Does anyone remember "Hurricane"?

"Gee, your hair smells terrific!" Felipe Prince of the Asturias can't seem to get close enough to his wife Letizia. Nearly every public outing includes a snapshot like this.

Trousers in a church? Letizia Princess of the Asturias frequently wears pants, but they are usually paired with stylish high heels and beautiful jackets. This ensemble seems a bit less than divine.

Camilla Duchess of Cornwall might want to invest in some spiffier reading glasses when she needs to deliver a speech. These just don't sparkle like her bedazzled tunic does.

Here's a close-up of the super high heels Letizia Princess of the Asturias wore to an anti-child labor event in Madrid. Even with the extra inches she often adds to her shoes, the petite former news reporter is still dwarfed by her NBA-worthy husband.
