Rugby Match for the Waleses

The Prince of Wales, Patron of the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU), and The Princess of Wales, Patron of the Rugby Football Union, attended the Wales vs England Six Nations Match at the Principality Stadium. As ever, the friendly competition between the pair is expected. A few events before the game took place: Before the game kicked off, William and Kate spent time meeting injured players who are supported by the Welsh Rugby Charitable Trust. The principal aim of the charity is to help and support those who have been seriously injured whilst playing rugby football in Wales.   TRH's sang both national anthems for the teams they were watching but it was the Princess who came up victorious with England winning 20-10. Over to the fashion now as Catherine brought back a fan favourite, which we were all hoping would get a re-wear. The Princess wore the Catherine Walker coat that was first worn on the 2018 tour of Sweden when Catherine was expecting Prince Louis. As ever; in recent t...

A NEW ERA

  THE QUEEN IS DEAD. LONG LIVE THE KING. The Queen peacefully died at Balmoral Castle in the afternoon of the 8th September 2022. No more information on the actual time of death or cause has been released. The House of Windsor has now forever changed and only time will tell if the monarchy can survive not just in the United Kingdom but in the other realms. I personally hope it continues but I have doubts at how many will keep the now King Charles III as their head of state. So much has happened over the last week and the funeral is still to come on Monday. Like a child, I had thought she would live forever.  Grief is the price we pay for love.

The Duchess of Cambridge is back !

The Duchess of Cambridge has arrived at RAF Brize Norton where she's set to hear about the humanitarian evacuation undertaken by the RAF of thousands of people from Afghanistan.  The Duchess's Wardrobe: The Duchess of Cambridge wore a new jacket in neutral. It was the Reiss 'Larsson' double-breasted Twill blazer. A new bag was also in the cards for today as the Duchess wore Tusting Mini Holly Bag in Taupe.  The Duke of Cambridge was seen out and about today at the London Eye. With his Earthshot prize announcing their first winners on Friday - I imagine it's about that.
