Royal Roundup #3

  • The Duchess of Cambridge (nee Kate Middleton) will resume undertaking engagements this week. Her first one is tomorrow – a black tie event at the National Portrait Gallery.
  • Prince Charles, The Prince of Wales, and Prince William, The Duke of Cambridge have joined forces to bring light to the very serious issues of illegal wildlife hunting/trade and conservation. Unfortunately, one day before their joint video statement was to be released Prince William and Prince Harry were spotted at a hunting estate in Spain which has angered many people who feel that it’s contradictory to Prince William’s conservation efforts.
  • Prince Harry is supposedly spending a lot more time with his yet-to-be-confirmed girlfriend, Cressida Bonas.
  • There was a Royal Wedding last week! Andrea Casiraghi married his long-time girlfriend (and mother of his child) Tatiana Santo Domingo. The two were married a few weeks ago in a civil ceremony in Monaco, and held their religious ceremony in Gstaad. Since Prince Albert (the sovereign of the Principality of Monaco) and his wife, Princess Charlene, do not have any children, Andrea is actually third in line to inherit the throne, after his mother, Princess Caroline.
  • There are loads of royals in Sochi, Russia for the Winter Olympics right now, including; Princess Anne, The Princess Royal, Prince Albert and Princess Charlene of Monaco, and King Willem-Alexander, and Queen Maxmia of The Netherlands.
