Hello, dear Royal Watchers!

‌

Like us, royals get an extra spring in their step when the weather gets slighly warmer and the sun peeks its head from behind the clouds.

‌

Take the Duchess of Cambridge. This week, Kate debuted a fresh haircut during her and Prince William's first-ever royal tour of Ireland. The fashion icon paired her new 'do (which brought out a few conspiracy theorists — more on that below ... ) with emerald green accessories and a gorgeous coat and dress. Check out some pics of the duchess below, enjoying the gorgeous weather on the Emerald Isle.

‌

And (drumroll, please!) the Sussexes are back in action! Maybe it's because they know they'll be independent in a matter of weeks, or maybe they are just happy to be out and about, but Prince Harry and Meghan Markle looked radiant as they made their way to the Endeavour Fund Awards in London on Thursday.

‌

The event marked the couple's first joint public appearance since they announced they were stepping back from being senior royals; and it was one of their last events before they become fully independent come April 1.

‌

Have a wonderful weekend, Royal Watchers! 👑👑

👑 Did You Know? 👑

The Duchess of Sussex made a secret trip to the Immersive Storytelling Studio at the Royal National Theatre in London on Thursday — a trip that wasn't made known to the public until Friday morning.

‌

Markle, who is a royal patron of the theatre (and will continue to be so after she steps down as a senior royal at the end of the month), wore a sheer white Topshop blouse and matching pencil skirt, according to The Evening Standard.

‌

The duchess is patron to five associations, including Smart Works, Mayhew, the Queen's Commonwealth Trust, and the Association of Commonwealth Universities.
