--Here's a precious snowy moment from three generations of Bhutan's monarchy: "Our April calendar features this photograph of His Majesty The King and His Majesty the Fourth Druk Gyalpo, enjoying a special moment in the unexpected March snow with His Royal Highness The Gyalsey." [Yellow.bt]
--More developments last week in the messy case of Delphine Boël, who claims that she is the illegitimate daughter of Belgium's King Albert II. She's been seeking legal recognition of her paternity claims, but her case was rejected. Her lawyers say she will appeal. [Flanders News]

[Hello]
Coming up this week: Family style at a confirmation in Denmark, and another state visit for our delight when Spain hits Japan.
