Happy Birthday Prince Louis!

George & Charlotte Back to School
The Easter weekend marks the end of the month long Easter break for Prince George and Princess Charlotte of Cambridge.
Much of the holiday has been spent at the Cambridges' home in Norfolk, Anmer Hall. The property on the Queen's Sandringham Estate is the family's "bolthole" where they have total privacy and spent much of the children's early years before formally moving to London in 2017.
The property has a tennis court, vegetable gardens and beautiful country to play in, just as the Duchess of Cambridge did, growing up in the Berkshire countryside. The family have a cocker spaniel, Lupo and at one stage a guinea pig named Marvin.
Both George and Charlotte are learning to ride ponies and Charlotte has tennis lessons when in London.
During the break the Duke and Duchess and the older children attended Burnham Horse Trials to watch William's cousin Zara Tindall ( also George's godmother) compete.
So now it is back to London where George attends Thomas's Battersea and Charlotte goes to Willcocks Nursery School close to Royal Albert Hall in Kensington. Charlotte will celebrate her 4th birthday in early May and will start "big school" after the long Summer break.
But for now the focus is on little Prince Louis who turns 1 on 23rd April. Happy Birthday to Louis.

The royal children are on Easter break from school and will be celebrating younger brother Louis' first birthday on April 23rd.
Enjoy the first photos. We will publish more as they surface.

Cambridge And Sussex Households
 |
| William 1983 |
After their parents divorced, Prince Charles's London residence became St James's Palace and later, after the Queen Mother died, Clarence House on The Mall.
In 2011, Prince William and new wife Catherine moved into Nottingham Cottage in Kensington Palace. Later, after Prince George's birth in 2013, Apartment 1A became the Cambridge's home where they are raising their three young children.
 |
| Wales brothers 1985 |
Late last year, it was announced that Prince Harry and wife Meghan will move to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor Great Park. The property has been converted from five apartments for Estate workers to a comfortable family home for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and their new baby, due in the next few weeks.
Last week Buckingham Palace confirmed that the newly formed Household of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be located in the Queen's official London residence. Harry's father the Prince of Wales along with the Queen will assist with the establishment and staffing. This is much the same arrangement for the Queen's sons the Duke of York, the Earl and Countess of Wessex and daughter the Princess Royal and husband Sir Timothy Laurance. Most likely apartments will be allocated to the Sussexes for their London engagements.
Prince William and wife Catherine will continue to have their household offices in Kensington Palace as they prepare for the time when William is heir to the throne and thus Prince of Wales.

Baby Sussex
As previously stated, Harry and Meghan's first baby is due to arrive in the coming weeks. There has been no official advice as to where Meghan will give birth- London's Lindo Wing, Frimley Park Hospital near Windsor where the Countess of Wessex had Lady Louise and Viscount Severn or perhaps the Portland Hospital in London where Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie were born.
In public, Prince Harry has become a much more serious character since his engagement to Meghan and information flow is quite controlled. So we wait and see whether we welcome a new Lord or Lady Sussex, their birthplace and names.

Half Term Went Swimmingly For George And Charlotte!
 |
| Cambridge Family At Amner Hall |
The family spent the half term at their Norfolk home, Anmer Hall. The prince and princess would have had fun exploring the Sandringham Estate - perhaps using Anmer Hall's tennis courts or riding ponies.
Baby brother Prince Louis in now 10 months old and the Duchess recently told a member of the public that the Louis is a very fast crawler. No doubt he enjoyed the company of his siblings.
Catherine took the older two children to a luxury Norfolk hotel complex on the Tuesday to use the swimming pool. According to the Daily Mail:
Wearing a maroon swimsuit, she tried to blend in amongst relaxing couples but onlookers quickly spotted the family during their half-hour splash about.
Kate, 37, apparently organised swimming
races for the children and afterwards they practised little dives off
the side. The royal trio then all went into the sauna and steam room.
 |
| Arriving Back At Kensington Palace |
One
onlooker told the Mail: ‘Kate looked stunning. She had full make up one
while she was in the pool. And she had drop pearl earrings and her
engagement ring. ‘Her hair up in a butterfly type hair clip and looked
extremely elegant.’
The royal fan said that both George and
Charlotte were impeccably behaved. ‘The children were very well behaved
and both were practising their diving from the side,’ they said.
‘Kate
was organising little races for them and they did it around four or
five times. She said "ready, steady go" and did a downward chopping
action in the water to indicate the start of the race.’
Apparently George, naturally, won all the
races. They said: ‘He was swimming front like a dog paddle style and
jumping in from a squatting position the side.
'Charlotte
was doing sitting dives. She was squatting on the side with her arms up
in dive position, she kept saying "Look mummy I’m diving in".
‘Kate
was very encouraging. At one point George went under and Kate had to
grab him, he became a bit tearful and clung to her but then he soon went
off again.’
Neither the little prince and princess had arm bands on and were ‘super confidant’ in the water.
Both William and Kate are good swimmers themselves and are clearly keen to pass on confidence in the water to their children.
‘Both
the children swam unaided and were super confident,’ the source said.
‘They went under the quite forceful jets in the water. Kate politely
asked us if it was ok for them to switch it on.
‘They
were doing little jumps off the side into her arms. Kate did not move
from their sides. George did ask to go outside to use the hot tub but
she said "No".
‘When the children tried to jump in the
water , Kate frequently indicated "No" and shook her finger and then she
pointed out the no diving signs to both children who then seemed
appeased.
‘They went into the steam
room and sauna for a four or five minutes each. ‘From my experience,
both are usually out of bounds to children under 14.’

Cambridge Children News
2019 has been quite a busy year for the Royal Family. Prince Harry and Meghan wed in May followed by Princess Eugenie and Jack in October. Prince
George and Princess Charlotte were in the bridal party for both of these
weddings and that of Charlotte's godmother Sophie Carter.Prince Charles turned 70 in November and we were treated to some lovely photos of the Wales, Cambridge and Sussex families.
A
few days after attending Eugenie's wedding, Catherine's sister Pippa
gave birth to a baby boy named Arthur. And about this time, Prince Harry
and the Duchess of Sussex announced that they were expecting their
first baby- due in the northern Spring. Seeing photos of the Sussex
"bump", I get the feeling the baby will arrive early rather than late
Spring.It has been revealed that the Duchess of Cambridge and Charlotte attended a performance of the Nutcracker at the Royal Opera House last week. Charlotte is an avid dancer as was her paternal grandmother, the late Diana, Princess of Wales. Prince George is taught ballet once a week at his school, Thomas's Battersea. From Hello magazine:
In October, Prince William revealed how much his five-year-old son was enjoying his dance classes. Speaking to a young dancer called Junior at Kensington Palace, the royal shared: "George is doing dancing as well, he loves it." He added: "My mother always used to dance, she loved dancing."
Along with all this excitement, Charlotte performed in her first Nativity play at Willcocks Nursery School in Kensington.
The Queen's annual lunch at Buckingham Palace for the extended royal relatives will take place over the coming days. Then Her Majesty and Prince Philip catch a regular train service to Kings Lynn in Norfolk, just near her Sandringham Estate for Christmas until early February.
We look forward to seeing a Cambridge family Christmas photo soon!

Christmas At Kensington
Now that December has arrived and officially Winter has begun, "it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas"!Kensington Palace has special movie nights near the Orangery and Historic Royal Palaces has posted some lovely Christmas-y photos on their website.
Prince George and Princess Charlotte are learning Christmas carols at school and nursery and am pretty sure craft and art time will have a Santa theme.
Where the Cambridge family will spend Christmas is still unknown- either at their Anmer Hall home on the Sandringham Estate where the royal family will gather or at the Middleton home in Berkshire.
As well as little Prince Louis who was born in April, the Middletons have another new grandchild this year. Catherine's sister Pippa gave birth to a boy named Arthur in mid October.
