My four-year-old has invited King Charles over for ice-cream. Can someone please make it happen?
I suspect I might be issuing this plea on the wrong website but … is anyone here pals with King Charles III? Can you please tell his majesty to keep an eye on the post because my four-year-old has written the king a letter cordially inviting him to pop over to Philadelphia for ice-cream and 'a big hug'. I'm not banking on this request being fulfilled, but I'm trying this new thing where I put my hopes and dreams out there in the world and wait to see what happens. (One hopes a restraining order from Buckingham Palace is not what happens.) To be crystal clear: sharing ice-cream with aristocracy is not one of my personal hopes or dreams. I think the monarchy is ridiculous. However, I seem to have inadvertently raised a staunch royalist who has developed a fixation on King Charles. I blame Elsa of Arendelle from the film Frozen for this. Like many little children, my daughter had an intense Frozen phase, which led to her falling victim to the broader princess industrial complex. I then made the mistake of mentioning the fact that Britain has a royal family and showing her a clip from the coronation. She was not impressed with Queen Camilla (her dress wasn't frilly enough), but Charles and his fancy crown stole her heart. As a feminist and republican (not the American sort), I can't say I'm thrilled by all this but I'm letting the king-and-princess phase run its course while dropping subtle hints that doctors and sanitation workers add far more to society than people whose ancestors seized a bunch of land. I've also tried to gently explain that we live in the United States, a country traditionally hostile to kings. I say 'traditionally' because Donald Trump, who is off to visit Charles at Windsor Castle later this year, certainly seems to fancy himself a monarch. Melania is also keen on royalty; the first lady has said she is pen pals with Charles, and the pair have engaged in deep conversations. Perhaps the US will get a King Trump in my daughter's lifetime. It's certainly more likely than universal healthcare. Anyway, long live the (actual) king and all that. But I hope my kid's monarchy obsession is as short-lived as possible.

Elewana Collection revamps two safari icons in Kenya
NAIROBI, KENYA – Elewana Collection, an operator of award-winning boutique lodges and safari camps across Kenya and Tanzania, has unveiled significant renovations and refreshed culinary concepts at two of its iconic Kenyan properties: Elsa's Kopje Meru, and Elephant Pepper Camp in the Maasai Mara. Elewana, part of international hospitality group Minor Hotels, is known for its commitment to conservation, community, and classic East African hospitality. The latest enhancements exemplify that ethos, elevating the guest experience while remaining deeply rooted in each property's natural surroundings, cultural heritage, and distinctive character. Elsa's Kopje Meru: A Living Legacy, Reimagined Perched dramatically above the savannah in Meru National Park, Elewana Elsa's Kopje is a lodge steeped in history. Named after the orphaned lioness made famous by conservationists George and Joy Adamson in the 1996 film Born Free, the lodge is built into the rocky hillside above the Adamsons' former camp. Since opening in 1999, Elsa's Kopje has become an icon of responsible luxury and timeless safari charm. The latest renovations pay tribute to this legacy while enhancing comfort and design throughout the lodge. All guest suites now feature upgraded furniture, Nero-finished bathroom floors, and reimagined lighting that accentuates the lodge's organic architecture and expansive views. The expansive Private House has also been elevated with a luxurious new bath and redesigned outdoor shower. Communal areas reflect the same attention to detail: the main and private pools have been refinished with terrazzo tiles, offering a refreshed setting for relaxation between game drives. A new in-house sundowner space provides the perfect stage for evening G&Ts overlooking Meru's vast wilderness, with a new outdoor cinema screening the film, Born Free, set to be launched in the area within the month. The spa has been expanded, offering a more spacious retreat for wellness rituals. 'Careful attention has been paid to ensure the refreshed Elsa's Kopje still holds the heart and soul of what makes it so special,' said Callum Oliver, Operations Manager Kenya at Elewana Collection. 'Whether it's your first visit or your fifth, the updates enhance the comfort and elegance of the lodge without losing the deep connection to the wilderness and history of Meru.' The lodge's updated culinary direction celebrates Kenya's rich gastronomic traditions, blending comfort and authenticity. From slow-simmered local stews and grilled meats to elevated breakfasts featuring yoghurt parfaits, fresh pastries, and vibrant garden fare, each dish is a reflection of the land and its culture.
