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. It’s hoped the visit will be able
to take place at a later date. No official reason for the
postponement was…
Queen Elizabeth II became the first
British monarch to reach their 90th birthday, marking the occasion
on 21 April 2016, though her official birthday celebrations took
place in June. Today, on her 96th birthday, let’s revisit the major
events that occurred on this…
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…
Platinum Jubilee: The Big Jubilee Read is revealed but misses one major author
19th April 2022
BBC Arts and The Reading Agency have
announced titles for the Big Jubilee Read, a reading for pleasure
campaign celebrating great reads from celebrated authors across the
Commonwealth. But noticeably, one prominent author from The Queen’s
reign is off the list, J.K.
Much like her father before her, who
became The Queen’s first grandchild in 1977, Savannah Phillips has
the honour of being The Queen’s first great-grandchild. Today,
let’s learn more about the youngster who first made The Queen a
great-grandmother. Peter and Autumn…
The Queen was absent from the annual
Easter Sunday Church Service held at St George’s Chapel in Windsor
this week. Her Majesty has heavily reduced her diary in recent
months due to ongoing mobility issues, and was not expected to be
present at the service. Also unavailable was the Prince of Wales
and the Duchess of Cornwall, although the couple did represent the
monarch at the Maundy…
