On Tuesday, April 19, 2022, Buckingham Palace announced that Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge and Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal will carry out a joint engagement in London on Wednesday, April 27, 2022.
Their Royal Highnesses will visit the headquarters of two maternal health organizations, the Royal College of Midwives (RCM) and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (COG).
Per a press release:
On the afternoon of Thursday, March 24, 2022, Their Royal Highness The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived at the Lynden Pindling International Airport in Nassau, Bahamas, to begin their three-day royal tour as part of Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee year.
Upon their arrival, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were warmly greeted by the Deputy Prime Minister, His Excellency Mr. Chester Cooper, Cabinet ministers, and other senior government officials. After the “…joint Royal Bahamas Defence Force and Royal Bahamas Police Force bands played The Bahamas’ national anthem…” The Duke of Cambridge accompanied by the Governor-General Sir Cornelius Alvin Smith, the Royal Bahamas Police Force Commissioner, Mr. Paul Rolle, and the Royal Bahamas Defence Force Commodore, Dr. Raymond King, inspected the Bahamian royal guards.
Thereafter, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge met with the Prime Minister of the Bahamas, His Excellency Mr. Philip Brave Davis.
On Tuesday, March 22, 2022, Their Royal Highness The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived at the Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston, Jamaica, as part of their three-day royal tour of the Caribbean in celebration of Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee year.
It was announced this morning, via St. James’s Palace, that T.R.H.s The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will visit California from July 8 – 10, 2011.
According to Reuters:
The 28-year-old second-in-line to the British throne has never visited the United States in an official capacity, although he has made private trips to the country in the past. Catherine, 29, has never been there, royal officials said.
Details of the California trip have not yet been released.
YAY! Let’s hope they will come to Los Angeles during their three-day trip to bankrupt California! 🙂

On April 30, 2011, Clarence House released the official royal wedding photos of Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Please click the link to view lots of unreleased images via Clarence House and the official website for the British monarchy here.
In case you were wondering, these official photos were taken inside Buckingham Palace in the Throne Room.
It was also announced that the Duke and Duchess will take their honeymoon on a later date (supposedly at the end of this year.) The reason for the delay, according to the BBC, is that The Duke of Cambridge (William) must report for work with the RAF on Monday. Per the BBC’s Peter Hunt:
For a prince who’s desperate to lead a near “normal” life, the discussion about the decision to delay the honeymoon is another reminder of just how much scrutiny he and his wife will be subjected to.
Within moments of the announcement of their delayed honeymoon, theories were being advanced as to the reason. These included not wanting to be seen sunning themselves at a time of austerity; William’s commitment to his job; and a desire to play cat-and-mouse with the media.
In the meantime, the couple spent last night at Buckingham Palace and this afternoon were whisked away, via helicopter, to an undisclosed location in the United Kingdom. To watch a video of the couple from this morning, outside of Buckingham Palace, please click the link here.

Well, ladies and gentlemen I must say that the royal wedding between William and Catherine — now Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge — was sweet, serene, and overall quite lovely. Very British.
Now, for the all important information. Who designed the dress: Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. The bridesmaid’s dress is also a McQueen from the 2010 collection. The tiara is the Scroll (or Halo) tiara loaned to the Duchess by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Her earrings were a gift from her parents Michael and Carole Middleton.
For those of you who missed the ceremony you can watch the service all over again on the official You Tube channel for the British monarchy here (a total of 3 hours and 37 minutes including the arrival of guests and the royal family as well as the balcony wave-a-thon)
