A relatively long time ago in a land not-so-far away (Home Counties. Lovely area), a commoner named Catherine Elizabeth Middleton was born at the Royal Berkshire Hospital.
Fast-forward 34 years, andh ere we are, thanks to a clever mother and the kind of self-confidence people would trade their first-borns for.
The Duchess of Cambridge’s wasn’t necessarily a rags-to-riches tale, but it’s hard to imagine that her ancestors were poverty-stricken coal miners. [Read more…]

Earlier today, Netflix debuted a trailer for their newest series, “The Crown,” based on the early reign of Elizabeth II.
The trailer opens with the young queen (played by Claire Foy) testing out St. Edward’s Crown ahead of her June 1953 coronation while her children, Prince Charles and Princess Anne watch.
Charles once said that his mother would come visit him at bath time wearing the crown, attempting to get used to its weight before the coronation. [Read more…]
The Duchess of Cambridge
There he is, the future king of the United Kingdom and its Commonwealth realms.
Today His Royal Highness, Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge begins his British education.
Kensington Palace released two photos of George arriving for his first day at Westacre Montessori School Nursery in Norfolk, taken by the Duchess of Cambridge.
With his blond locks tousled about and quilted jacket showing off a bit of tartan, George looked confident and ready for some introductions.
According to What Kate’s Kids Wore, the hooded puffer piece is from John Lewis (and is currently out-of-stock).
Richard Palmer of the Daily Express spoke with bystanders near the school, who noticed that security was tight as the royals arrived. It’s roughly a twenty-minute drive from the family’s home to Westacre. [Read more…]

I’ll admit to buying a knock-off of THE engagement ring.
The one with the 12-carat Ceylon sapphire, surrounded by 14 solitaire diamonds set in 18-carat white gold.
The late Princess of Wales selected the ring – made by Garrard – from a tray of jewels when Prince Charles proposed in 1981.
The Wales boys kept the ring, among other pieces, after their mother’s death in 1997, and William chose to give it to his fiance, Catherine Middleton in October 2010. [Read more…]
One has just received Prince George’s New Year’s resolution list, and it’s…ambitious. That’s not to say it’s not doable, but one admires His Royal Highness for the goals he sets forth.
