The Earl and Countess of Wessex continued
to be stalwart supporters of The Queen throughout the majority of
2022 and performed equally in support of King Charles III by the
year’s end. Though their royal work doesn’t always make headlines
or grace the front covers of newspapers, as it should, Edward and
Sophie continued in tireless support of their causes, travelling
the world and within…
If you’d been heir apparent as long as
King Charles III was (70 years and 214 days, but who’s counting),
you’d expect endless speculation on how you’d handle the job when
it finally came your way. On 8 September, King Charles III ascended
to the throne of the…

The state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II
was one of the largest gatherings of world leaders in modern

ROYAL YEAR IN REVIEW: A title with history: how the new Princess of Wales began to make a fresh mark on the royals
28th December 2022
It’s been quite the year for Catherine.
In early January she celebrated her 40th birthday with a series of
romanticised portraits that would hang in the National Portrait
Gallery, and she was still the Duchess of Cambridge. Then, on 8
September, her life changed. After a publicised move to Windsor,
with a photoshoot to accompany the children’s first day of school,
the Cambridge family…
YEAR IN REVIEW: How Paddington became an honourary member of the Royal Family in 2022
27th December 2022
This has been a monumental year for the
British Royal Family. It included a once-in-a-lifetime Platinum
Jubilee, the death of the United Kingdom’s longest-serving monarch,
and the start of a new reign. However, for many keen royal
watchers, the biggest event of the year…
It might take a while before hearing the
title Prince of Wales doesn’t immediately conjure an image of King
Charles. After all, he held the title for a record-breaking 64
years (from 1958 to 2022), and achieved so much on the global
stage, not only for himself as a…
Queen Camilla’s four months as queen
consort have gone smoothly, which must be a relief for her—and King
Charles—as there was always speculation (and confirmation) that she
would never go by the title or be accepted as Queen Camilla. But
leave it to Queen Camilla to prove everybody wrong. In her first
four months as consort, she has continued to spotlight the
charities and causes she so…

26th December 2022
The King was toasting a Boxing Day
success at Sandringham on Monday after his horse, Steal A March,
won a handicap hurdle race at Wincanton. The win was a significant
one for His Majesty as it marks his first victory in a National
Hunt race where the horses have to jump…
I am standing here in this exquisite
Chapel of St. George at Windsor Castle, so close to where my
beloved mother, The late Queen, is laid to rest with my dear
father. I am reminded of the deeply touching letters, cards and
messages which so many of you have sent my wife and…
Prince Louis joins Royal Family for first time at Christmas service
25th December 2022
Prince Louis has joined the Royal Family
for the first time at the morning service at Sandringham on
Christmas morning. The four year old prince walked to the church of
St. Mary Magdalene holding the hand of his mother, the Princess of
Wales. His big sister, Princess Charlotte, and older brother,
Prince George, were particularly attentive to the youngest member
of the family as they made their…
