When I think about the Duke of Cambridge
on his 40th birthday, one word comes to mind: settled. This may be
an odd word choice considering the ever-changing nature of monarchy
in our modern world, but stick with me. Nobody who pays attention
to William sees a person hesitant about his position, his future,
or his role within a centuries-old institution. But even five years
ago, that wasn’t…
The odds were not in William’s favour
when the newborn son of the Prince and Princess of Wales was born

The Duke of Cambridge has been an active
and vocal campaigner on behalf of his chosen causes for nearly two

look at his patronages. William has several key areas of focus,
though the environment—and the…
The Duke of Cambridge, father to three
children, has often claimed that the stability of his home life is
what grounds him and keeps him able to do his job. In an interview
with GQ magazine, he said that he wants his children to grow up “in

The Duke of Cambridge was only a teenager
when he lost his mother, but in the decades since her death, he’s
done his best to keep her memory alive and carry on her legacy. As
we prepare to celebrate William’s 40th birthday, let’s take a look
at how Diana, Princess of…
When the Prince of Wales announced in
August 2000 that his eldest son would be attending the University
of St Andrews in Scotland, it sparked an international frenzy. Not

university of his first…
The Norwegian Royal House has shared the
special gifts Princess Ingrid Alexandra received for her 18th

Princess Ingrid Alexandra is every inch the doting granddaughter at birthday gala dinner
19th June 2022
What I love most about the Norwegian
Royal Family is that their love for each other, their sense of
family and closeness, is always on display, whether they’re sharing
photos of their summer vacations on their Instagram account or
attending a formal gala event. As the…
Norway was the setting for the largest
royal gathering since pre-pandemic times when members of Europe’s
royal families came together to celebrate the belated 18th birthday
of Princess Ingrid Alexandra. Amidst the historic nature of the
