Sorry, but we couldn’t resist publishing this photo! Tom Cruise has moved on to London for the Top Gun: Maverick premier and unfortunately for him, he was photographed with Prince William and Kate Middleton. We say “unfortunately” because in spite of his special shoes, the Royals do make him look short. That must be why Tom loves to make spectacular ego-boosting arrivals at his premiers in helicopters and fighter jets…

If anybody is steeped in tradition, it’s Queen Elizabeth, 92, and after all these years she still thinks a “hunt” is a good time. Imagine getting up at the crack of dawn with freezing temperatures, and trekking through the misty woods in search of birds to shoot. There are plenty of cute dogs around, but killing quail (or whatever birds these Brits hunt) just doesn’t seem like that much fun. The Queen (with a hood and walking stick) was having such a good time with her friends on vacation, however, that she didn’t even go home when the Duke had his driving accident. By the way, the Queen drove her own Range Rover to the shoot.

What IS this girl getting into? One of the harder parts of becoming a Duchess can be the Royal fashion rules – suddenly Meghan Markle won’t be able to have a mind of her own. Women are NOT allowed to wear pants for formal occasions and heels are required, but height of heel is optional. No sleeveless or short dresses. Nail polish must be neutral – no colors. Wearing black is discouraged in the daytime. Actually bright colors are preferred so Royals stand out in a crowd for security purposes. Meghan’s messy buns and tousled locks are a no-no – hair must appear “groomed.” Gloves are encouraged at events where Royals must endure many handshakes. Forget about jeans. Perhaps the toughest rule of all is pantyhose! They must be worn ALL THE TIME with those dresses! Of course all these rules apply to walking out in public – we assume Meghan can lounge around in sweats at home in the castle…

It’s a new generation of Royals: King Felipe VI of Spain, 46, just ascended the throne last June. His pretty wife Queen Letizia, 41, looks like a model, but actually she worked as a news anchor before they wed. Their two little girls Leonor, 8, and Sofia, 7, look like the Princesses they actually are. The previous Spanish monarchy was not as popular as the new family.

And to think the Brits accused Americans of getting too carried away about the royal wedding! They’ve come up with the ultimate souvenir of the highly anticipated event. GDHA, the distributor for G.E. appliances, in the UK has introduced the Royal Commemorative Refrigerator. The 5’9” appliance has larger than life size images of William and Kate, making every visit to the kitchen a special event.
