I hope she is in Scotland because she wants to be and not because the government want her to calm the troubled waters.

"Soldiers from the Queen's Dragoon Guards will parade through Cardiff on Tuesday ahead of an inspection by Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall at the start of their summer visit to Wales. The couple will visit a variety of businesses, organizations and people around the country."
"Each summer, the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall spend a week at Llwynywermod, their farmhouse near Llandovery in Carmarthenshire, visiting different parts of Wales. The tour will begin on Tuesday (July 5) with a visit to the BBC Wales’s new headquarters in Central Square. The royal couple will then visit the statue of Wales' first black headteacher Betty Campbell that was unveiled in September last year, before the Duchess of Cornwall visits domestic and sexual violence charity, RISE Cardiff."
"There will be a parade by 200 soldiers from the Queen’s Dragoon Guards through Cardiff with drums beating and colours flying. The regiment, which recruits heavily in Wales, was granted the freedom of the city in 1985 and have just returned from a year in Mali. The soldiers will be led by a Welsh mountain pony, Lance Corporal Emrys Forlan Jones, their regimental mascot. Music will be provided by the British Army Band Tidworth."

I can't believe how big the little prince and princess have gotten! Beautiful children.Prince William's subtle gesture at a recent royal engagement has indicated Prince George's new position within the Royal Family - April 20, 2022
"On Easter Sunday, members of the Royal Family attended a service at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. While at the service, Prince William and Kate Middleton showed some subtle gestures that indicated they were giving their son Prince George a little more space and independence."
"A body language expert, Judi James, decoded these gestures to The Mirror and explained that these subtle movements signal a big change for the Future King."
"The most powerful and historic non-verbal signal there is, without doubt, the lovingly performed ‘conscious uncoupling’ between William and his chip-off-the-block son George," said Judi.
"This was the first time we have really seen George walking between his parents as an independent royal. Normally he will automatically and very sweetly hold his father’s hand but here it looks like a conscious decision for him to appear more grown-up," continued the body language expert.
"As the third person in the royal line of succession, it is clear that this decision from Prince William and Kate to not hold their son's hand was a way of demonstrating his transition into adulthood. Prince George will be turning nine this summer, and as the Future King, he will be playing an increasingly major role in the Royal Family over the next few years."

She's not much in danger of criticism in that particular quarter!

"Prince Charles is extolling the virtues of good farming that was used a 100 years ago. Old farmers using the land as it should be. Cows eating grass. Clover that enriches the grass. Natural fencing encasing smaller meadows and protecting the soil from erosion. We need the hedges and trees. Cows that nurse their young whilst giving modest yields of quality milk. Chickens living proper lives on grass, scratching and pecking through the ground and giving eggs full of goodness. Less man made and back to natural fertilisers and food stuffs equals a healthier body and mind."

Of Course Kate Middleton Aced the Wimbledon Dress Code
Kerry McDermott
Tue, July 5, 2022 at 9:30 AM
"Nothing says British summertime quite like a day at Wimbledon—or the Duchess of Cambridge in a polka-dot dress. Kate Middleton made her first appearance at the 2022 tournament on Tuesday, July 5, wearing one of her favorite Alessandra Rich tea dresses in her signature print.
The famously sporty royal, who is a patron of the All England Tennis Club as well as a keen player herself, arrived as Britain’s breakout star Cameron Norrie was set to face Belgium’s David Goffin in the men’s quarterfinal. Britain’s hopes now rest on Norrie’s shoulders, after Emma Raducanu and Andy Murray were both knocked out in the second round." (Read More)

it's been a long time since we've seen William with hair. He didn't stand a chance really, both of his grandfathers were bald...

"The ultimate British High Society sport -- dashing young riders cheered on by champagne-guzzling debutantes -- acted as the backdrop to Charles’ tangled love life and gave the heir to the throne a glamorous “Action Man” image. Now, having just turned 57, Charles feels it is time to lay down his polo stick. “He decided to bow out gracefully but regretfully,” a spokesman said."
"Injury bedevilled Charles in the high-risk sport that acted as a valuable counterpoint to his reputation as a pensive philosopher prince, weighed down by his fears for the environment and angered by the monstrosities of modern architecture. Charles, taught to ride at the age of six, once said: “I will go on as long as I bounce when I fall off.”
"He took part in his first game at the age of 15 in a team captained by his father, the Duke of Edinburgh. He has played around the world from Australia to Brazil and raised over 12 million pounds in charity matches."
"But there has been a physical cost: his cheek was scarred in one fall and he was hit in the throat in another. In 1990, he broke his right arm badly during a polo match and in 2001 was briefly knocked unconscious after falling from his horse during a particularly competitive chukka -- the periods into which the game of polo is divided. But the family polo-playing tradition will live on."

The best pictures as Prince Charles continues his tour of Wales
"Prince Charles was greeted by singing schoolchildren when he stopped off at Narberth as part of his three-day whistle stop tour of Wales. The Prince arrived in the Pembrokeshire market town just after 11am on Thursday for a quick look at some of the shops on the high street including the award-winning Andrew Rees butchers, the Golden Sheaf Gallery and Ultracomida deli."
"The streets were lined with children waving Welsh flags and locals eager to catch a glimpse of the royal visitor. One of the keenest to see the prince was 90-year-old Joyce Dyer, a life long Narberth resident who’d ventured out especially for the occasion. Shaking his hand, she was delighted as he told her he’d enjoyed hearing the choir sing and seeing the array of thriving shops. Speaking afterwards, she said: “It was a wonderful day, to think he’d come around the town.”
"The Prince finished his trip up the high street with a stop off at Hwb, a new venue in the old Narberth school, where two children from the local school presented him with a hamper filled with Welsh produce. Suzanne Somers, owner of the Golden Sheaf, said meeting the prince was the highlight of her three decades in business." (Read More)

Prince Charles visits theatre in Morecambe to mark 125th anniversary
"Prince Charles praised volunteers for their determination to restore Winter Gardens in Morecambe as he unveiled a plaque to celebrate the milestone."
"I do greatly admire people like yourselves who are so passionate that you won't give up," he said.
He also visited Morecambe Fire Station and Weeton Barracks during his trip to the county.
Prince Charles was greeted by cheering crowds as he arrived in Morecambe and was handed a box of fishing flies by four-year-old Elizabeth, whose family run the Troutflies UK shop.
Elizabeth's mother Annie, 35, said: "She was very excited to meet a real-life prince, although I think she thought he would be more like Prince Eric from Disney."
