Royal Wedding Watch

With baby fever taking over the United Kingdom (and the world, for that matter), let us not forget about the other Princess who knows how to make a powerful fashion statement: Princess Beatrice. Ever since her “hat moment” at the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s nuptials two years ago, she’s upped her style game by hiring a stylist (that would be Charlie Anderson) and wearing some of the biggest names in British fashion (like Roksanda Ilincic and Jonathan Saunders). Click through to see what she’s been up to.

Royal lovers, turn your attention away from baby-fever Britain for a second and give it up for a new Queen in town—literally. The Netherlands welcomed their new king and queen yesterday, as Queen Beatrix abdicated her position after 33 years on the throne, to make way for Beatrix’s son Prince Willem-Alexander. By marriage, the woman at the top is Argentina-born Princess Maxima, who the Prince married in 2002. They have three children together and one powerful future, which we hope is filled with lots of diamond-covered tiaras, epic estate jewelry, and fabulous European fashion.

Time has flown by! We can’t believe it’s already been two years since we saw Prince William and Catherine Middleton walk down the aisle at Westminster Abbey and say their “I Dos.” And their lives (and ours!) haven’t been the same since: The gown Kate wore by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen became a museum piece, her maid of honor Pippa Middleton shot into the spotlight thanks to her backside that very day, the Duchess became a style icon with her her every move tracked (and eventually selling out), and finally, the love keeps going now that the blissful couple now have a baby on the way. But it all started April 29, 2011. Click through the gallery to remember the glorious day.

It’s been over a year, and people are still talking about That Wedding! In a new special airing in the United Kingdom next week, Prince William admits that he barely slept the night before he walked down the super-long aisle at Westminster Abbey to wed his bride Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. ”[The crowds] were singing and cheering all night long, so the excitement of that, the nervousness of me and everyone singing—I slept for about half an hour,” he said, Us Weekly reports. Knowing millions of people would be watching around the world, we’re not sure we would’ve caught any ZZZs, either! Tell us: Did you sleep before your wedding day or did adrenaline take over?
