Royal News Roundup: Kate’s Farm-Chic Fashion, the New Royal Fab Four & More

• Last Friday, Camilla Parker Bowles had a whirlwind day of events and left us wondering if she’s sending secret messages about her readiness to rule in the process. The 72-year-old Duchess of Cornwall popped into the HMP Downview female prison and learned more about programs encouraging inmates to pursue photography, fashion and manufacture training, literacy and cooking. She also visited Maggie’s Centre at The Royal Marsden, which provides free cancer support and information. It also should be mentioned the duchess wore royal blue for the occasion, the latest in an installment of royal associated colors she’s donned over the last year.

• Meanwhile, Prince William played a game of Jenga in honor of his new HeadsUp Weekends initiative, that aims to normalize mental health conversations.
