Hollywood descended on the South of France this week, but that's not where all the action was. Wildlife bloomed everywhere from England to Iraq. Both Michelle and Barack Obama kept a steady stream of engagements. And royals from Queen Elizabeth II to Princess Letizia of Spain mingled with admirers, while Prince Harry wrapped up his US tour. Travel around the world with the best photographs of the week.

Just like an eager college freshman, Michelle Obama went back to school with a new hairdo today! The first lady showed off some freshly styled sideswept bangs during her commencement speech at Bowie State University. On a more serious note, Michelle offered some solid advice and perspective for the class of '13 at the historically black university in Maryland. "Just think about this for a moment — for generations, in many parts of this country, it was illegal for black people to get an education," the first lady said. And while she's pals with Jay-Z and Beyoncé, Michelle lamented that too many young people fantasize about "being a baller or a rapper."

"In short, be an example of excellence for the next generation," implored the first lady, who also received an honorary doctorate of laws. She's set to give one more commencement speech this graduation season, after already speaking at Eastern Kentucky University. Next up tomorrow is Martin Luther King Jr. Academic Magnet High School For Health Sciences and Engineering at Historic Pearl High. See pictures of the first lady's academic look from today.

Sex-fueled title Beautiful Bastard is heating up the New York Times bestseller list, practically making Twilight-inspired erotica its own genre. Just like E.L. James's Fifty Shades of Grey, the book follows two Edward and Bella inspired characters who just can't keep their hands off each other. Racy novels, now often dubbed "mommy porn," might seem like a recent trend, but in fact, erotic writing dates back at least two millennia to the Greek poet Sappho. If you want to give steamy reading a chance, here are seven titles to try besides the fan-fiction incarnations.

Armed with iPhones, American girls have come out in droves to spot Prince Harry, who wraps up his US tour today. The man third in line to the British throne (that is, until Kate Middleton has her baby) has been participating in loads of all-American activities. He's mingled with cheerleaders, tested out his American football skills, played baseball in New York City, spent time with First Lady Michelle Obama and military families, and sang happy birthday to Olympic gold medalist and adorable teen Missy Franklin. Much of that time, Prince Harry has had an audience of "Harry hunters," the unofficial term given to wide-eyed girls who aspire to be Kate's sister-in-law one day, if only in their dreams. Before Harry hops back across the pond, let's send him off with a look at all the admiring female fans who came out for his visit.

In her moving op-ed today, Angelina Jolie revealed that she had a preventive double mastectomy after learning she was at high risk for breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Other women who might be at risk motivated the actress and activist to speak out about her private health decision. Angelina wrote: "Cancer is still a word that strikes fear into people's hearts, producing a deep sense of powerlessness. But today it is possible to find out through a blood test whether you are highly susceptible to breast and ovarian cancer, and then take action."

As Angelina's message of prevention and empowerment spreads across the Internet, she's not the only famous woman to generously share her health struggles. Christina Applegate and Wanda Sykes have discussed mastectomies. Others like Beyoncé Knowles and Nicole Kidman sacrificed some privacy to add to the conversation about miscarriages, while women like Gwyneth Paltrow and Brooke Shields have helped increase acceptance of postpartum depression. Whether about mental illness, fertility struggles, or cancer, when recognized and accomplished celebrities open up, it helps raise awareness and understanding about the health issues that impact women. Read through for quotes from some of these brave women now.

Could this be the fairest prince of them all? Prince Carl Philip of Sweden, third in line to the Scandinavian throne after his sister Victoria and baby niece Estelle, is both handsome and talented. Did you know, for example, that he won a design competition for the logo of Martha's Vineyard Museum after entering under a pseudonym? While Prince Carl Philip isn't as well known as his British counterparts Prince William and Prince Harry, in the looks department, he reigns. And like Prince Harry, he has had a brush with party-boy controversy. In 2012, he was involved in a nightclub brawl in Cannes, France, although it was characterized as an unprovoked attack on the prince. While this prince charming blows out 34 candles for his birthday today, we're presenting 34 of his most dashing photographs and a few fun facts about him. Everyone gets a present today!

This week's episode of Mad Men ends with Pete Campbell's dementia-suffering mother waking him up to tell him that "they shot that poor Kennedy boy." Pete rolls back over, thinking his mother is having a flashback to JFK's 1963 assassination. But in fact it is June 5, 1968, and Bobby Kennedy has just been shot at LA's Ambassador Hotel, as we see when Megan Draper sits glued to the graphic TV footage.

RFK's assassination is just one historic event referenced this season — and even this week — on Mad Men. Earlier in this week's episode, we hear the Draper neighbors Dr. Arnold and Sylvia Rosen argue about their son, who is in Paris in the midst of violent student riots. And already, this season has dealt with the Vietnam War and the death of Martin Luther King Jr.

The season-six premiere of Mad Men found Don Draper ringing in 1968 in bed with his neighbor's wife, Roger Sterling mourning the death of his mother, and Betty Draper showing off a darker side. And we suspected that the inevitable upheaval in the characters' personal lives would also be set against a very tumultuous year. And so far, it is. Take a look at the major political and pop culture moments of 1968 that will help you spot the references this season.

Happy Mother's Day! To celebrate, we asked our readers and our fellow POPSUGAR editors to share pictures of their moms with a piece of advice she's given them. From don't forget your deodorant to always makes time for yourself, we've rounded it up so we can all benefit from this motherly wisdom! Enjoy.
