Diamond Jubilee: Concert at Buckingham Palace

Jun 5

Another unforgettable day as we continue to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

The day started off with concerning news that the Duke of Edinburgh, 91 this week, has been taken to hospital because of a bladder infection.  Though precautionary, he’s expected to stay there for a few days and will therefore miss the rest of the Jubilee celebrations.  We can remember that the Duke also missed Christmas at Sandringham last year for a heart stenting procedure.  But, as the saying goes, the show must go on…


And what a show it was!  Robbie Williams, Kylie Minogue, Tom Jones, Elton John, Cheryl Cole, Grace Jones, Annie Lenox, Sir Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder were among the artists performing in honour of the Queen.

The highlight?  A moving speech by Prince Charles who, in behalf of “Mummy,” thanked the participants and organisers, and said his only regret is that his father couldn’t be there tonight.  “If we shout loud enough he might just be able to hear us in hospital,” he said, prompting a loud roar from the crowd and chants of “Philip, Philip.”  It was a visibly very emotional moment for the Queen as she tried to contain herself.

The concert ended with Her Majesty lighting the diamond beacon, joining 4,000 others across the UK to mark her jubilee.  Then, fireworks.  The most amazing display of fireworks over central London you’ll ever see.

Kate Spends First Royal Christmas at Sandringham While Duke of Edinburgh Stays in Hospital

Dec 27

It was the largest Royal Christmas for decades as a crowd of 3,000 — three times the size of last year (partly due to better weather and undoubtedly inspired by their latest addition, the Duchess of Cambridge) — gathered at Sandringham this year to greet the Royal Family.  All of the family was expected to be there, too — Her Majesty, all her children, grandchildren, great-grandchild, plus the 2 latest additions – Kate and Mike Tindall.  Sadly, on 23 December, the head of the family, the Duke of Edinburgh, had to be rushed to a hospital for an emergency heart stenting after experiencing chest pains. He missed Christmas this year.  And for the first time in 55 years, the Queen spent Christmas apart from her husband. The Duke remained in “high spirits,” “anxious to leave”, and insisted that the show must go on.

In an unexpected move, the whole family attended an earlier service on Christmas morning (thought to be fore communion)  before heading back, changing clothes, and returning for the formal Christmas service.  In the absence of his father, Prince Charles & Camilla led the walk to St Mary Magdalene Church, followed by William, Kate and Harry.

After the service, the family received (an unusually large number of) flowers, cards, gifts and well wishes from the crowd.  A lot of them, of course, are there to see Kate for the first time. Veteran royal-watcher Mary Relph, said: “I have never seen queues like this on Christmas Day before, I have never seen this amount of people here since Diana was alive. People obviously came to see Kate Middleton. And she was fantastic.“  Journalist Alison Croose agreed: “I have not seen crowds like this since back into the Diana days. It reminded me of the Diana years – when Diana introduced Prince William to the crowds when he was about seven or eight. It was touching. Diana used to have her hand on his back. Now you see William with his hand on Kate’s back. It was really nice.”

Prince Harry, the most eligible royal bachelor, brought cheers when he kissed a girl on the cheek.  When her friend asked for a peck too he replied with a grin: “I can’t give you a kiss, I just kissed her.”

After Christmas lunch, all of the Duke’s grandchildren — William, Harry, Beatrice, Eugenie, Peter and Zara — drove to Papworth Hospital to visit him.  Her Majesty and their children — Charles, Anne, Andrew and Edward — had seen him the day before.  And then it’s back to Sandringham to continue with the holiday plans, including the traditional Boxing Day shoot.  On with the show without a lot of fuss — just as the Duke would have wanted it.

The Queen’s Christmas message this year focused on the binding love of family:


Update: The Duke of Edinburgh was released from hospital on 27 December.  He spent 4 nights in Papworth Hospital.

Prince Harry Knows How to Party — and Make Sick Kids Happy

Sep 3

Posted by britishroyals in Chelsy Davy, Pippa & James Middleton, Prince Andrew, Prince Harry, Prince William, Prince William & Catherine, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, Sarah Ferguson, The Duchess of Cambridge, Zara Phillips & Mike Tindall | 1 Comment

Prince Harry has dominated the headlines this past week — as cameras captured him both at work and at play…

Last weekend Harry was spotted in Hvar, Croatia, partying  in a nightclub with good chum Tom Inskip.  A video of him dancing (not very well, it seems) and diving into a shallow pool fully clothed went viral.  Apparently Harry was letting his hair down in preparation for a long training stint in the US starting October.  He probably had a bit to drink and was clearly enjoying his time.  He was given a white shirt by the nightclub and was then seen in the company of a bevy of girls.  Naturally some of the girls talked about the experience.  This is Harry’s second holiday this summer.  He was on a week-long vacation in Mallorca with the Warrens last month.


Articles & Pictures related to Harry partying in Croatia:

While Prince Harry showed he could party hard, he proved the following week that he also knows how to do his job well.  On 31 August, Harry presented awards to a six-year-old quadruple amputee and a five-year-old cerebral palsy sufferer at the Wellchild charity ceremony in London. As patron of the charity, he made the appearance on the 14th anniversary of the death of his mother, Diana.  He delivered a humbling speech at the end of the ceremony.

This was Prince Harry’s final official engagement before advancing his Apache training in the US. He arrives in El Centro, California the first week of October for Exercise Crimson Eagle as the final part of his Apache training.

Meanwhile, ex Chelsy Davy was spotted with “new boyfriend” Taylor McWilliams in Ibiza (scroll down for article) over the bank holiday weekend.  They attended a party thrown by the nightclub Boujis, a favourite royal London joint.   Oh, and she flew economy to the island.  This is Chelsy’s second Ibiza getaway this year.  She was also there along with friends (plus Taylor, if rumour is to be believed) back in May.
