A critical blog about Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, and the rest of the British royal family
Last night, May 9, King Harald and Queen Sonja of Norway held a joint 80th birthday dinner at the Royal Palace in Oslo – their birthdays are February 21 (for Harald) and July 4 (for Sonja). A truck load of Norwegian and foreign royals attended including crowd favorites Crown Princess Victoria, Queen Maxima, and The Countess of Wessex.
Princess Sofia and Crown Princess Victoria have been doing their thing in Sweden, while over in Monaco Princess Charlene brought Princess Gabriella to the Saint Devote Rugby Tournament.
KP announced a new engagement for Kate Middleton, Prince William, and Prince Harry. Princess Charlene attended a sports award show. And Queen Maxima spent several days in Germany.
Prince Albert and Princess Charlene attended festivities related to Sainte Devote on January 26 & 27. The couple brought their twins, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, to part of the festivities.
I doubt this will get much attention at all since it’s Christmas and since my last few articles haven’t gotten much attention, but for those who don’t celebrate Christmas of for those who want something to look at during any downtime during Christmas celebrations, here’s a quick wrap up of various royals’ Christmas cards and photos, and various royals at Christmas-related events recently.
November 19 is Monaco National Day, and Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella made an appearance on the balcony of the Prince’s Palace of Monaco with Princess Charlene and Prince Albert.
This is a royal round up of royal happenings on November 17, because it was a busy day for many royals. The royals I’m covering in this post are: Queen Letizia; Sophie, Countess of Wessex; Princess Charlene; and Prince William. I’m also including a couple polls related to Prince Harry to gauge interest in a couple things – so please be sure to vote.
Here’s a Royal Round Up of two ladies we haven’t talked about in a while and three ladies we just talked about recently: Queen Letizia doing stuff for the Princess of Asturias awards; Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall at the Man Booker Prize; Princess Eugenie at an event for Elephant Family; Princess Charlene at the Princess Grace Awards; and Princess Sofia in a meeting with child rights organizations.
This royal round up features: A Kate Middleton engagement announcement; an update on Prince William‘s cyberbullying taskforce; Queen Maxima attending the opening of Parliament; Princess Charlene bringing Prince Jacques to an engagement; and Queen Rania being honored with humanitarian award.
With King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima arriving in Rio this week with their three daughters to cheer on the Netherlands team, I thought it would be nice to do a Royals at the Olympics post with a round up of some of the royals’ Olympic appearances.
