Monday Tidbits for September 12: New Friends, Great Speeches

Here we are again:

--King Harald went viral with a speech he gave at a palace garden party on September 1st (I shared a photo of the family at the event last week). If you haven't seen it, it's worth your time. English subtitles for a portion of the speech are in the video below; the Royal Court has an English translation of the full transcript. [Kongehuset]

--Check out some rare photographs from inside the Winter Palace, residence of Tsar Nicholas II, before the revolution. [Russia Beyond The Headlines]

--Princess Mako made an official visit to Paraguay, and a lovely kimono was involved. [ParisMatch]

--Princess Madeleine shared a sweet snap of Prince Nicolas making a new friend last week, captioning it "Love at first sight."

--Click over for model David Gandy, stay for the Prince of Wales and his natty evening kilt attire. [Hello]

--And finally, over at the Jewel Vault: Her Maj does the Elie Saab thing before Elie Saab was doing the Elie Saab thing, plus one mega brooch that desperately needs to reappear.
