So the ceremony for the Order of the Bath is every 4 years and the last one was 2022, the Thistle is every 2 and there's one this year, and the Garter is every year... which means in 2026 William will have to wear robes 3 times 😂 thoughts and prayers with him 🙏🏼
LMAO poor William but good for all of us 🤪 also, the Bath will have its 300th anniversary in 2025 so they might have a service held next year too

Tumblr media
Riley walked the secretary of finance to the door of her office, “Thank you, Lord Herron,” she ushered him out as he nodded and tried to continue the conversation.
She pushed the door closed and leaned on it, breathing out a sigh of relief. Lord Archibald Herron was a lot. Like, really a lot. He was at least ninety years old, and would not retire. He talked a lot, had outdated ideas, and took forever to tell a story.
She was exhausted from the encounter and stressed the fuck out. She glanced up at the ornate Lewisburg wall clock on her wall. She had time to kill before her next appointment.
She knew exactly how to relieve her stress.
She pulled the door open to peer into the outer office. Her eyes landed on Max, who was rifling through a file cabinet for something.
“Max!” She called out, “Come in here, now! I have something to dictate to you!”
Max looked up from his filing, “Oh, um, yes, okay, coming!” He swiftly grabbed a steno pad and pencil from his desk as he walked past it.
“Hold all my calls,” Riley told the receptionist as she stood back and let Max through then she pushed the door shut and turned the lock. It was Max’s birthday and she had something special planned.
Max, completely unsuspecting, took a seat in the chair in front of the desk and flipped the steno pad open, “Okay, what are you dictating?”
Riley sauntered across the room and pulled herself up onto the edge of the desk, crossing her legs as she did so. One hand moved up her thigh, sliding her skirt up, revealing thigh-high stockings, “To whom it may concern, the queen needs to be…handled.”
Max glanced up at her, then back down at the steno pad clutched in his hand. He blinked then his head jerked back up as he realized what she was saying.
When his eyes found her again, she was sitting on edge of her desk, dangling a pair of handcuffs from her fingertips.
His eyes dipped down to trace up her legs, taking in the top of the stocking and the attached garter belt before making their way up her curves to lock on her face. His mouth went dry, “How may I be of service, Your Majesty?”
“You can get over here and let me cuff you. Now.”
The sharpness of her command sent a frisson of excitement through him as he bolted out of the chair, steno pad and pencil falling forgotten to the ground as he hurried to do her bidding.
“Turn around.” She ordered.
He complied without a sound, spinning to place his back to her and bringing his wrists together. He felt the cold metal encircle both wrists and heard them click as they snapped into place.
She tugged on each one making sure they were snug but not too tight. “Spin.”
When he turned back to face her, she was wearing a seductive smile and twirling a very familiar collar in her hand. It was black studded leather with an O ring in the front and a locking buckle in the back. He vividly remembered the day she had placed it around his neck for the first time. The day she had collared him had been the happiest day of his life.
A collaring ceremony is just as meaningful as a wedding ceremony in many circles. It meant he belonged to her, but more than that, it meant that she made a commitment to him. The collar was as symbolic as a wedding band and having her place it around his neck in front of witnesses had brought him a sense of belonging and security.
The fact that she was dangling it in front of him as he stood in her office in the middle of the day with his hands cuffed behind his back told him that she was ready to play. A shiver ran through his body as he let his eyes dip down to her legs and trek slowly back upward again.
“Kneel,” she commanded.
He made and held direct eye contact as he lowered himself to his knees in front of her, “Yes, my queen.”
A shudder of pleasure ran through her at the way he made the honorific sound so sexual, “Good boy,” she crooned as she placed the collar around his neck.
He bowed his head so she could buckle it, “You’re every wish is my fervent command, Your Majesty. I live to please you.”
“Glad to hear it,” she told him as she slid the hem of her skirt higher, revealing her lack of panties, “Your tongue between my legs would please me very much right now.”
He crawled forward on his knees and, unable to use his hands which were cuffed behind him, nudged her legs further apart using his head and lapped a soft, warm line up her center.
Her fingers twisted in his hair as she scooted closer to the edge of the desk and wrapped her legs around his neck, “God, yes….” The day’s tension melted right out of her body.
Max on his knees in front of her never disappointed.
His tongue was warm and soft as it twirled and flicked at her center, trailing sparks in its wake as it worked. Up and down, side to side, in and out, round and round, not a single spot was neglected.
Heat suffused her body as tension coiled and tightened inside her. She tried to push his head back to draw it out, but he surged forward forcing her over the edge. Her body arched off the desk and into his mouth as her repressed screams filtered out as moans and gasps. “Fuck, yes, Max!” Her fingers tightened in his hair as she pulled him closer, losing herself in the crashing waves of ecstasy as he licked her through the orgasm.
When she was done, she gently pushed him away as she scooted back on the desk, tugging her skirt back into place. “Good boy,” she told him as she slid off the desk, “Now stand up, I have something for you.”
She helped him to his feet since he couldn’t use his hands to help himself. She laid gentle kisses along his back as she uncuffed him.
“What is it?” he rubbed his wrists, an anticipatory thrill slipping through him.
“Did you think I had forgotten it’s your birthday?” She smirked at him as she rummaged around in the oversized tote she had brought to the office that morning.
“N-no…” he replied carefully, “We have plans for dinner tonight and we’re going to the peacock show tomorrow….”
“Oh, but you haven’t had your birthday spanking yet, have you?”
Max closed his eyes and groaned as a shiver of eager excitement ran through him, “No my queen, I have not.”
“Well, we have to correct that,” she told him as her eyes ran up and down his body with a predatory glint, “so drop those pants, turn around, put your hands on the desk, and bend over.”
He locked eyes with her as he slowly unbuckled his pants, “Yes, Your Majesty,” he hooked his fingers under the waistband of his pants and underwear, pushing them down to tangle around his ankles, then he turned, leaned over and placed both hands on the top of the highly polished mahogany executive desk.
Riley laid several implements on the desk in front of him. A slapper paddle with cut-out hearts carved into the leather, a flogger with soft metallic silver fronds, a crop with a split tipped top and textured handle, a black leather whip, and a small satin and leather spanking paddle.
Max felt his cock stiffen as his eyes swept across their toys. Riley’s fingers ghosted across his back as she leaned down, put her mouth to his ear, and whispered, “Your choice, my sweet, perfect, subby boy toy.”
“Fuck!” Max sucked in an audible gasp as he felt his dick throb. Precum oozed out of the tip as his heart rate spiked.
“Well? Which one?”
His eyes moved from one to the next. Each implement had its draw. The slapper paddle would make a loud, satisfying noise, but didn’t do much in the way of delivering the sharp sting he craved. The flogger would sting nicely and leave pretty red welts to remind him of the encounter, but it was quiet. The crop was perhaps the best of both worlds, providing a satisfying whoosh as it moved through the air, a resounding thwack when it made contact with his ass and the welts would last for days. The whip was too much for the middle of the afternoon. He wanted to be able to walk normally when he left her office. The spanking paddle was entirely too quiet and entirely too gentle.
“The crop,” he decided.
“Are you sure?” She picked up the spanking paddle and ran the satin side across his rear.
He swallowed thickly, “I’m sure.”
“Hm,” she replaced the paddle and picked up the flogger, trailing the fronds lightly down his back.
A shiver ran through him as goosebumps erupted from head to toe.
“What do we say?” she prompted.
“Please,” he responded immediately.
“Please, what?”
“Please spank me, my queen.”
Riley replaced the flogger on the desk and hefted the crop in her hand, debating which way to go with it. A heavy hand or a light hand would deliver different results. She could create a multitude of sensations with the impact toy, from sensuous light caresses to sharp stinging bites.
“I know what you like, Max,” She purred as she leaned her body across his back and reached around to take him firmly in her hand, stroking up and down.
Max squeezed his eyes tightly shut, his entire body trembling, “Fuck, Riley, I’m so close already.”
She released him and stepped back, her free hand smacking him on the ass before bringing the crop down onto the tender flesh of his backside. It made a whooshing sound as it cut through the air.
He jerked as the leather bit into him, delivering its stinging kisses. His hands grasped the edge of the desk tightly, the wood digging into his palms. “Oh! Riley!”
Every thwack pushed him closer to the edge.
Thwack!
His fingers pushed harder against the desktop.
Thwack!
His teeth sank into his lower lip as he muffled a grunt of pleasure.
Thwack!
His erection throbbed.
Thwack!
Darkness clouded the edges of his vision as he lost the battle to stay quiet. A high-pitched whine started in the back of his throat.
“I love you, Max,” the words dripped like honey from her lips as she brought the crop down again.
Thwack!
That was it, his hands lost purchase and he toppled forward onto the desktop, guttural cries ripped from him as his body convulsed, his cock pulsing and spewing streams of milky wetness all over the front of the desk, the floor, and his own pants that were still tangled around his ankles.
A shiver ran down his spine, his whole body tingled, and pinpricks of euphoria erupted across his scalp. He slid off the desk onto the floor, kneeling on all fours as he gasped for breath.
Riley tossed the crop onto the desk and sat down next to him, drawing his head into her lap. She ran her fingers gently through his hair, “How are you doing, my sweet boy?”
“I’m doing great!” He relaxed, lying on the office floor, his mind blissfully blank as he reveled in the sensation of floating off into the ether.  
She moved his head from her lap so she could stretch out next to him on the floor, snuggling close to him. They exchanged soft kisses and loving caresses as quiet expressions of love were murmured back and forth.
“You stay there,” she told him as she stretched and sat up.
“Where are you going?”
“Nowhere, I’ll be right back.”
She stepped around the desk and returned a moment later with a small bottle in her hand. Max lay on the floor, chin propped on his folded arms as Riley tenderly applied a soothing aloe vera cream to his reddened bottom, “You should take the rest of the day off and go take a nice warm bath.”
“Mm-uh,” he shook his head, “I want to stay.”
“You want to stay at work on your birthday?” she laughed in surprise.
“I want to stay near you, my everything. Always.”
“All right,” her voice held amusement, but her eyes were filled with warmth as she recapped the bottle, “Have it your way.”
He heaved a sigh, “Speaking of work, I should get out of here before your next appointment arrives.”
“They can wait,” she told him as she stood, “What are they gonna do? I’m the queen!”
“Thank you,” he pushed onto all fours, climbed to his feet, and pulled his pants gingerly back up.
“You don’t have to thank me,” she smirked at him, “I got as much out of it as you did and it’s your birthday!”
“I’m still getting dinner and the peacock show though, right?”
Riley tilted her back as a laugh burst out of her, “Oh, my God, Max, yes!”
Without any spoken instructions or discussion between them, Max retrieved a towel from the attached bathroom and cleaned up the mess while Riley put away the toys. They worked quickly, falling easily into their familiar routine, even though they weren’t in their usual place.
When they were done, Riley ran a hand down his face, “Happy Birthday, sweet boy,” she whispered, bringing her lips to his.
Their tongues tangled together for a few brief moments then Max pulled away with a grin, “See you tonight!”
He was almost at the door when her voice stopped him.
“Max, wait!” Riley rushed to catch up with him, “You forgot to take off your collar!”
“Oh, this?” he grinned as his fingers slid across the supple leather at his neck, “I’m keeping it on.”
“You’re not worried about what people will think?”
“Since when have I ever cared what people think?” he scoffed, “Besides, they probably all heard me in here screaming like a little bitch anyway.”
“Those were very manly screams, Max,” she corrected him.
“Glad you think so,” he took the opportunity to pull her into his arms for one last kiss.
Riley giggled as she let herself be jerked forward into his grasp.
He nuzzled into the side of her neck playfully before bringing his lips to hers and melting into the kiss. An incredible sense of contentment spread over him.
He had an entire birthday weekend planned. Tonight was dinner with his closest friends and family, tomorrow was the peacock show with Riley followed by a huge party. Sunday he was spending the day with Liam. But even if there were no parties, no dinners, and no celebrations, this was already the best birthday he’d ever had.
It was his first birthday with Riley and the first one spent with Liam as a couple. He had the man that he loved and the woman that he loved and by some miracle, they both loved him back. There was literally nothing else on earth that he wanted or needed. He was happy, he was content, and he was beyond grateful for the life they’d built together.
He still wanted to see the peacocks though.

Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, GCVO, GCStJ, CD (born Sophie Helen Rhys-Jones, 20 January 1965)
20 January 2024
Today is a special day in the calendar of the British royal family as Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, celebrates her 59th birthday.
The Duchess of Edinburgh has earned herself many loyal watchers over the years as she has attended charity events, made visits to organisations that matter to her, and been spotted at historic royal events.
Prince Edward's wife has worn some supremely elegant looks over the years.
We are sure that as she enters her 59th year and her first full years as the Duchess of Edinburgh, she will continue to pull out the stops in all the public outings to come.
A Regal Vision
Tumblr media
The state visit of the president of the Republic Of Korea in 2023 was a momentous occasion.
The Duchess did not disappoint, in fact, she stunned in a glorious white Suzannah London dress.
The elegant gown featured a sheer embroidered panel on the shoulders and up the neck for an ethereal touch.
It also had long sleeves that were cuffed at the wrist. The royal styled the piece with the breathtaking aquamarine tiara and a modest silver clutch.
A Barbie Moment
Tumblr media
In June 2022, the then-Countess of Wessex stunned in a block colour moment next to her sister-in-law, the then-Duchess of Cambridge.
The royal ladies attended the Order of The Garter service at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, where Sophie stunned in a bubblegum pink A-line dress with long fluted sleeves and a rounded neck.
She paired the knee-length piece with a pair of nude heels, a beige floral and feathered fascinator, and a beige croc-print clutch.
Festive Blues
Tumblr media
The Duchess attended the Christmas Day church service at Church of St Mary Magdalene on the Sandringham estate in 2018.
She pulled out one of her numerous fabulous dress coats. Sophie rocked the cornflower blue belted piece with a pair of navy tights, black platform heels, and a pair of chic black leather gloves.
Peeking out from the top of the coat was a blue and black ditsy floral printed dress with a ruffled neckline. Her black netted fascinator completed the look.
A Bronzey Moment
Tumblr media
In 2021, Sophie once again embraced blue but in a totally different way.
The royal was seen arriving at the biennial Rifles Awards Dinner at the City of London Guildhall wearing a stunning aquamarine floor-length evening dress with a square neckline and cinched waistline.
The bronzed Duchess teamed the dress with a glitzy clutch in blue and black sequins and flesh-coloured shiny pointed-toe heels.
The perfect finishing touches were added in the form of a diamond-encrusted brooch and coordinating drop earrings that were shown off by her hair being styled in an elegant updo.
The Picture-Perfect Wedding Guest
Tumblr media
In 2021, Sophie was photographed alongside her husband, the then-Earl of Wessex, at the wedding of Flora Ogilvy, granddaughter of Princess Alexandra, to Timothy Vesterberg, at St James's Church in Piccadilly, London.
The Duchess looked stunning in a rosy pink shin-length A-line dress, which featured cinching around the neck and on the cut-off sleeves.
She coordinated the pink dress with a cream clutch adorned with pink raffia flowers, a pair of cream patent heels with a buckle around the ankle, and the pièce de résistance was a cream lace fascinator with a corsage detail.
Trendy Taupe
Tumblr media
The Duchess is known for getting out her best looks when she attends a special wedding.
In 2011, she was seen with her husband Prince Edward leaving the Hotel de Paris to attend the religious ceremony of the royal wedding of Prince Albert II of Monaco to Charlene Wittstock in Monaco.
The royal opted for a taupe aesthetic that with the 90s fashion revival we have seen over the last year and the wearing of trendy browns is a look that would go down well today.
The then-46-year-old Sophie paired the taupe piece with a cowl neckline with a coordinating feathered fascinator, ruched clutch, and peep-toe heels.
A Classic LBD
Tumblr media
In 2014, Sophie switched it up entirely and opted for a classic little black dress that exuded glamour.
The royal was pictured alongside Strictly host Tess Daly at the star-studded St John Ambulance Everyday Heroes celebration of the nation's life savers at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in 2014.
The Duchess's floor-length gown had a diamanté-encrusted halterneck and she swept her hair over to one side for an effortless look.
