[ad_1] The Royal Family have invited a nine-year-old double amputee to Buckingham Palace, after he and his family missed a garden party. Tony Hudgell, a fundraiser and campaigner who lost his legs after he was abused by his birth parents, was set to attend the Royal Garden Party on Wednesday after getting an invitation from the King. He narrowly missed the occasion after a lorry fire left him and his adoptive family stranded on the M20 for several hours. But shortly before 8pm, the Royal Family said on social media: “Sorry to hear this, Tony! We were looking forward to seeing you too.” They then offered: “Fancy trying again another day?

[ad_1] Stay ahead of the curve with our weekly guide to the latest trends, fashion, relationships and more Stay ahead of the curve with our weekly guide to the latest trends, fashion, relationships and more As the Duchess of Sussex gears up to launch her forthcoming lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, a slew of her celebrity friends have already gushed over her strawberry jam. However, it seems that Buckingham Palace is now being accused of “shading” Meghan Markle after sharing a video of its very own strawberry preserve. “Our Strawberry Preserve is made using only the finest berries and is delicious served in a variety of ways,” the official Instagram account for Buckingham Palace Shop captioned a post on 24 April – the same day that model Chrissy Teigen posted a rave review of American Riviera Orchard’s jam. In the video, the royal gift shop showed four ways to use its strawberry preserve: on a scone as part of a cream tea, on a crumpet, with a croissant, or spread on toast. “How do you …

[ad_1] It seems there’s some healthy competition brewing between Meghan Markle and Buckingham Palace over… jam.  At least, that’s what it’s turning into thanks to the internet. This week, celebrities have been showing off jars of jam sent to them by the Duchess of Sussex’s upcoming new brand, American Riviera Orchard. While she is not formally selling products just yet, stars like Chrissy Teigen, Kris Jenner, Mindy Kaling, and Markle’s Suits co-star, Abigail Spencer, have not wasted the opportunity to show off their gifted preserves from Prince Harry’s famous other half on social media.  “You don’t want to use it because I don’t want to lose it,” Teigen recently told ET of Markle’s product. “So now I feel like we did the sandwich, and now I’m gonna keep [the jam] in my fridge forever.” But, the plot thickens: Buckingham Palace is now raising eyebrows for the questionable timing of its recent Instagram post promoting the strawberry jam it sells in its own gift shop.  “Our Strawberry Preserve is made using only the finest berries and is delicious …

Royal fans spot error at Queen Camilla’s Buckingham Palace event | Royal | News

Published by skeptic

[ad_1] During Queen Camilla’s return to royal duties following the Easter break, eagle-eyed fans spotted a glaring error at an event at Buckingham Palace. A ‘mistake’ in the tableware at the Palace had fans gossiping about whether items had been updated to reflect King Charles’s current reign. Spotting a glass of water on the table in a meeting room in front of Queen Camilla, a fan wrote: “I notice the water glasses used at Buckingham Palace today for Queen Camilla’s @safelives_ meeting have Queen Elizabeth II’s cypher on them.” The glasses placed on the table during Camilla’s meeting were designed with ‘E R’ for Elizabeth Regina, Latin for Queen, and her regnal number ‘II’ fitting between the two letters. The King’s royal cypher was selected by His Majesty from a series of designs prepared by The College of Arms and will be slowly phased into use.  The cypher bears the monogram of the monarch, which is made up of the first initial of their name, in Charles’s case, “C” and the letter “R”. The cypher, a visual identity …

[ad_1] Buckingham Palace has been the official residence of the monarch since 1837 but it is not favoured by the monarchs who have lived there. Royal author, Hugo Vickers, has said that the London palace is not really a home to the family. He said it is a “cold and impersonal” mix of state rooms, offices and hotel-like bedrooms. The expert said that the Royals communicate through their offices, meaning they often don’t know who else is in the palace with them and when empty it can have “the atmosphere of a prep school during the holidays”. The residence started as a large townhouse built for the Duke of Buckingham in 1703. It was acquired by King George III in 1761 as a private residence for Queen Charlotte and became known as the Queen’s House. It was enlarged in the 19th century and became the London residence of the monarch during the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837. But she was much happier at Osborne on the Isle of Wight, Balmoral or Windsor. Edward VII …

Everyone says the same thing at funny video of Buckingham Palace guards yelling at pigeons | Royal | News

Published by skeptic

[ad_1] Royal fans were left in hysterics after footage showed two Buckingham Palace guards shouting “make way” at pigeons as they marched through the crowd. The footage showed two guards marching from the gates of the Palace as two pigeons casually stroll in front of them. Noticing the pigeons, one of the guards shouts “make way” – causing the pigeons to fly away. The pair continue marching away from the crowd, who all seemed somewhat confused as to who the guards had shouted at. Posting the video on social media platform X, one person wrote: “How they shouting ‘make way’ at the pigeons.” Another wrote: “This might be one of the most British things ever to have happened”. A third added: “Those poor pigeons must be traumatised”. While a fourth said: “I think that bird sh** itself before making it’s escape.” The King’s Guard is allowed to shout “make way” if a person steps in front of a sentry while they are marching – though there is no official rules when it comes to pigeons. …

The Royal Household — responsible for supporting members of the British royal family — is seeking a communications assistant. The responsibilities for the role, advertised online in recent days, include responding to media inquiries about the work of royal family members and producing social media updates.
