Half Term For George And Charlotte


The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have cleared their diaries for this week for a very special reason. Prince George, 5 and Princess Charlotte, 3 are enjoying half term break from Thomas's Battersea and Willcocks Nursery School respectively.

This time in 2016, when Charlotte was 10 months old the Cambridge family headed for a snowy holiday in the French Alps. Photos were released upon their return and they were able to enjoy the break in relative privacy.

Whether they head to the ski slopes for Prince Louis' first winter holiday or stay at their country home Anmer Hall in Sandringham remains to be seen. 

Meanwhile, Catherine took young Louis for a stroll in Kensington Palace Gardens on Valentine's Day. By all accounts the Duchess was friendly to passers-by and was dressed in skinny jeans and coat.

And for Baby Sussex news...

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are still hoping to move into Frogmore Cottage in Windsor in March. The new home is being renovated at a cost of 3 million pounds but there is still much work to be done including roofing. 

Harry and Meghan's baby is due in the spring but dates are not known. Perhaps early April? The couple are hoping to be in their new home in time for the baby's arrival so depending on building works they may still be in Nottingham Cottage in the grounds of Kensington Palace.

It has also emerged that the Cambridge and Sussex courts will also split soon. Until now Prince William and Prince Harry shared staff but this is to change. 

When the Queen passes away and Prince Charles becomes King, William will be invested as Prince of Wales and also assume the title Duke of Cornwall. The Duchy is a huge business and alongside William's new roles in the royal firm, it will mean his responsibilities will be very different to that of Harry.

Royal Chelsea Flower Show



source: kensingtonroyal
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge along with Prince Harry, HM The Queen and many other members of the royal family attended the first day of the 2016 Royal Chelsea Flower Show.

William and Catherine were able to see the chrysanthemum named in honour of their daughter Princess Charlotte by Dutch company Deliflor. The flower has been on sale in Waitrose supermarkets and a percentage of the sale is donated to EACH of which the Duchess is Patron. 
 
EACH, which provides hospice care for children, had a garden display at the Chelsea Flower Show and was visited by Charlotte's proud parents. 

Earlier in the day, Catherine had been spotted in Kensington Gardens pushing Charlotte in her stroller with George walking along beside. Until I can verify the photo I have seen is not a paparazzi shot, I will not publish it here. 

Prince George also had a treat this week. Catherine had been walking with her children outside their Kensington Palace home. 

The threesome had been to see Princess Anne depart Kensington Gardens in a helicopter. George was later seen sitting on a Metropolitan Police motorcycle but Charlotte was in her stroller. 

The sit on the motorcycle topped off an exciting adventure for the young prince who will be 3 on July 22nd. 

Veteran royal watchers will remember a similar photo of William and Harry sitting on a police motorbike when they were very young also.
