They're all at Balmoral I believe. I don't think we'll see them on engagements until September
- Notice
Would hardly say he's balding gracefully. It was only a couple of years ago he shaved it off but even now he leaves the sides and it adds about 15 years onto his age
I think Beatrice and Eugenie are relatively good leads to follow here, to some degree. They both have titles and grew up as princesses and they both now have normal jobs and a few charity patronages for things they are genuinely interested in. They don’t receive funding because their charity work is seperate to the monarchy, my theory would be that Charlotte and Louis will follow a similar path.
it would make sense for their to be a plan for them to support George whilst doing their own thing. The problem that crops up is when that thing operates in contrast to the monarchy. Working for an art gallery like Eugenie? Fine. Working on tell all royal documentaries for Netflix? Not so great
ETA- you also have the funding problem. If they are doing some official work they are entitled to public money, but if they also have their own job and private income it’s a murky water. Financially at least, you really do have to be either in or out
Kate and William 'clear summer work calendar to prioritise kids on two holidays'
EXCLUSIVE: Prince William and Kate Middleton are due to spend time with George, Charlotte and Louis at Balmoral and in Mustique as they prioritise family life over the summer break
Hadn't seen that before. So they probably did go Mustique

When Ch5 show random RF programmes (there are 3 scheduled tonight. On a Saturday evening!) I get the feeling something is going on with the RF. Like with all the recent Kate PR in the papers

I have only heard it mentioned on the bbc as an issue so I didn’t realise it was across channels.
I think it’s interesting that the statement from the Wales’ has been worded in that way. Perhaps reflects his status as Prince of Wales. He can say things that the King can’t.

Yes of course, William is 1st, George 2nd, Harry 5th; but if William, George, Charlotte and Louis all die in the same plane crash, then Harry will be king. That's the whole point of "they better not be on the same plane in the future".
She does indeed - not hugely busy but over here if people want to join in
Princess Charlene of Monaco
Although im a British royalist, I'm pretty new to international royalty and the Daily Mail seem to be heavily hinting at stuff about her and her marriage lately. It does seem fascinating about what's going on...

There was talk that if the men’s team won the World Cup a few years ago they would be made Sirs etc. I think if the ladies win they should all get Damehoods if they want.
You might be interested in the documentary James Matthews did, "Finding Michael" If you like that kind of thing its very interesting - mainly fronted by Spencer but about the Matthews' and about the brother who died on the ascent of Everest...
William and Kate were in Scotland as well but no idea where they have spent the rest of summer
It never seems to be revealed unless they do like the Jordan holiday Christmas card
Like you say they’ll be back in Windsor for the start of term shortly so we’ll get a photo call for that
They would also have to change the rules around illegitimate children. If George were gay but had a child with a surrogate that was biologically his, that child would be classed as illegitimate as he wouldn’t be married to the mother? I think?
Don’t ask me why but I’ve always had a feeling George would end up abdicating to Charlotte and we would end up with another long reigning queen. It’s something I’ve “felt” for years but I’ve no idea why If it ends up happening I’ll start playing the lottery

I completely agree with those who are frustrated that Kate chose early years over sports for older children. But that isn’t going to change.
I do think William should have gone and I also think the fact that he didn’t will be remembered and noted down because at some point the media will start taking swings against the Wales, it’s just what they do. This will be useful as there was some degree of annoyance over his failure to be there.
It’s worth noting though that Spanish RF is on much dodgier ground with their public after behaviour of Juan Carlos who is still angling for a return to Spain. Presumably they need every bit of good publicity going. I saw lots about their heiress to the throne going off to their version of Sandringham.

They can get there and back to France in a day.
They filmed it on Wednesday, the royals must have been boiling with their jackets on in the heat we’ve had this week

I would like to read up on here about the European royals and thought there was a thread, but I’ve searched thread titles and can’t find it, is anyone able to point me in the direction?
