The Prince of Wales is challenging young
people around the world to design their dream future with nature at
its heart. Prince Charles has set the challenge to mark Earth Day
2022. In a video message, he calls on children and young people to
”draw, paint or write about” the future they want to see. He asks
them to put the natural world at the centre of their vision. His
call…
A ‘tree of trees’ will be placed in front
of Buckingham Palace as a central point of the Jubilee
celebrations. The sculpture, measuring 21 metres, will include 350
native British trees. The artwork, designed by Thomas Heatherwick,
will ensure that trees and…
Not all kings and queens are born in
castles. The tale of the longest reigning Monarch in British
history began in a London townhouse. To be precise, No 17, Bruton
Street, Mayfair for that is where Elizabeth II was born. In
the 1920s this now famous address was the…
As The Queen turns 96, many UK papers
feature her photo as well as tributes to a record breaking Monarch
in her Platinum Jubilee year. But Elizabeth II has been dominating
the front pages for almost a century now. Back on April 21st 1926,
when the Queen was born, there was plenty of excitement over the
arrival of a new princess who – at the time – was several steps
removed from the Crown…
The Platinum Jubilee tour of Grenada by
the Earl and Countess of Wessex has been postponed. Buckingham
Palace announced that, following consultation with the Government
of Grenada and advice from the Governor General, the visit would
not go ahead in the coming weeks.
The Queen will soon reach a new
milestone. On June 13th 2022, she becomes the second longest
reigning Monarch in recorded history. However, an argument from the
tailend of the reign of Queen Victoria might just be enough to
propel her into an even more historic position.
The Queen has marked her 96th birthday
with a new photo celebrating one of her greatest passions. Her
Majesty, long known for her love of horse riding and racing, is
shown with two of her fell ponies in a new image released by the
Windsor Horse Show. The Queen is seen standing alongside Bybeck
Katie and Bybeck Nightingale at Windsor. The image was taken in
March but shared as the Monarch…
The Queen will mark her 96th birthday at
Wood Farm, Sandringham, one of the favourite homes of her late
husband. Her Majesty arrived by helicopter on April 20th 2022 for a
short stay. Prince Philip spent much of his retirement at the farm
on the Norfolk estate and The…
The date is set, the bunting is being
dusted down and plans for the Platinum Jubilee of Elizabeth II are
well under way. She is the first British Monarch to rule for 70
years but just days before the long weekend of celebrations take
place, she will achieve another landmark.
A Jubilee without The Queen in attendance? Such a scenario has historical precedence...
19th April 2022
Recent reports that The Queen will only
confirm her attendance at events on the day have led to questions,
again, about whether she will be at the Jubilee festivities taking
place in June to mark her 70 year reign. And while the idea of Her
Majesty not being there might seem strange to us, a celebration led
by the Royal Family while the Monarch stays at Windsor would be an
exact replica of…
