A critical blog about Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, and the rest of the British royal family
This royal round up features Queen Elizabeth II visiting Manchester attack victims, Queen Maxima donning a tiara for a diplomatic corps gala dinner, Hereditary Grand Duchess Stephanie donning a tiara for a state visit, and Princess Eugenie out and about.
Well this was a nice surprise. Kate Middleton turned up for the Queen‘s first Buckingham Palace Garden Party of the year yesterday, May 16. Prince William was also there – it’s his second BP garden party ever.
In feel-good news, Prince Harry kept his promise to an Invictus Games competitor who asked him to give her gold medal to Papworth Hospital in London. He delivered the medal to the hospital team yesterday, June 1. The rest of this royal round up includes a sprinkling of people we haven’t talked about in a while: Duchess Camilla, Queen Letizia, Princess Eugenie, and Queen Rania.
Prince William attended his first ever Buckingham Palace Garden Party yesterday, May 24. The Duke of Cambridge accompanied Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Kate Middleton, Princess Beatrice, and Princess Eugenie (all old hats at the BP Garden Party game). I’m covering the new candid photos of Prince George and Kate’s ICPCN letter in a separate post.
Royal Round Up of: Kate Middleton; Prince Harry; Prince William; Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall; Sophie, Countess of Wessex; Queen Margrethe, Crown Princess Mary, Princess Marie; Queen Mathilde. Quick Royal Wedding update: it turns out Queen Maxima WILL attend the wedding of Prince Carl Philip and Sofia Hellqvist.
Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall attended the 500 Words Final last week where she gave a speech about why stories are so magical. Today, Camilla hosted a Buckingham Palace Garden Party for the Women’s Institute, also attended by Sophie, Countess of Wessex.

Here is part 3 of the royal round up on the British Royal Family. This round up includes lots of Camilla (though not her trip to Ireland with Prince Charles, that will be covered later), and some other assorted royals. Go here for part 2, which includes other royals at the same events as Camilla.
This royal round up features three members of the British Royal Family: The Queen, Prince Harry, and Sophie, Countess of Wessex. There will be a part 3 later in the day that will feature Camilla, Prince William, and others. I couldn’t fit everyone into one post – it just got too long.
Kate attended two events today. She first visited the Maritime Museum to launch the British bid for the America’s Cup; then she attended a Garden Party at Buckingham Palace. Kate was scheduled to attend the Red Cross Garden Party on Thursday, but at the last minute changed to the one today. She will no longer be attending the Red Cross one.
While at the Maritime Museum, Kate met Sir Ben Ainslie who is leading the British team in hopes of winning the next America’s Cup race which is in 2017. Kate inspected the trophy and had a tour of the museum. She attended a breakfast for the racers and donors as well. PS. Is it weird that I kind of think Kate and Ben make a cute couple? Like, she looks cuter with Ben than she does with Will. Kate loves sailing; she and Ben could go sailing together. It would be great. He’s probably married or dating someone, though. Sad face.
