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!

Busy Charlotte & George At Another Wedding

The Duchess of Cambridge's good friend Sophie Carter was married to Robert Snuggs on Saturday at St Andrew's Episcopal Church in Norfolk.

Sophie, long time friend of Catherine and is godmother to Princess Charlotte. Charlotte and brother George were flower girl and page boy just as they were at uncle Prince Harry's wedding in May. 

Normally quite shy in front of the cameras, George was more outgoing this time and could be seen marching around like a soldier and cheekily smiling for the official photos. 

Catherine's parents Carole and Michael Middleton and younger brother James were also present as was Prince William.
