birthdays but as the Duchess of Cornwall turns 72, official royal

the big day. Clarence House got the ball rolling with a sunny snap

the lovely messages on The Duchess of Cornwall’s birthday!”. That
image…

This summer, Royal Central is taking a
look at who’s who in the lines of succession around the world. And
our latest instalment takes us to Spain. By law, the line of
