Fashionista Magazine: The Royal Review:

LOYAL ROYAL-WATCHERS, we at The Royal Review would like to thank you, our wonderful readers for helping make our blog the most popular destination for royal news on the net, but we’re not stopping now!

After the stunning wedding of Princess Stefania of Vinciguerra to soccer star Count Dieter von Thalberg, her brother Crown Prince Giorgio must have caught wedding fever. His office has announced the engagement of Prince Giorgio to American Renata Pavoni of Brooklyn, New York. The hunky prince met the stunning redhead when she was chosen to design his sister’s wedding gown. It now looks like she’ll be able to design her own wedding gown, fit for a crown princess.

This comes after the whirlwind wedding of Prince Giorgio’s French friend, Count Jacques de Brissard to his lovely Countess Lily. Countess Lily has been kind enough to give us the exciting news first—they are already expecting a boy bébé—the next Count de Brissard! Countess Lily says they will name him Henry Gérard—Henry for her late father, and Gérard for the Count’s late father.

With wedding bells literally ringing, Prince Giorgio’s old college chum Francisco Luís Gustavo Felipe Duarte, Duke of Santas Aguas, reportedly popped the question to his American girlfriend, Julia Cooper of Boston—and at Princess Stefania’s wedding, no less! A little birdie tells us that she was the One Who Got Away many years ago, so it’s no wonder he didn’t waste any time recapturing the affections of the petite brunette. Looks like her nursing skills brought his heart back to life! They have already set a wedding date for the end of August at the chapel at Santas Aguas, the Duke’s ancestral holdings in the heart of Portugal.

The bride-to-be was overheard telling a gal pal that the Duke had donated money for a new hospital emergency room not only in the hospital nearest Santas Aguas, but also on São Miguel, the closest hospital to his private island of Belas Aguas. The part of this that will make you say aww…the emergency rooms will be named in honor of the Duchess Julia Cooper Duarte das Santas Aguas. Rumor has it that the Duchess may work part time there since she loves her work so. Some brides get big rings, some get emergency rooms—whatever makes your heart go pitter-pat!

So, alas, poor single ladies, three of Europe’s most eligible bachelors are eligible no more. But you can be sure we’ll bring you all the juiciest inside scoop for the upcoming weddings of Prince Giorgio and Duke Francisco. With all these happy couples, we’ll be watching eagerly for the next generation to arrive!
