Arguably, Highgrove House for afternoon tea was probably the best move available for Charles. It cannot be claimed that he wouldn't meet his grandchildren. Tea and cakes in the afternoon when they are in Althorp that evening would have been short and perfunctory. On the awkward scale, this ranked up there.
But for the Palace, it means no souvenir photos of the King and no souvenir film footage was made on royal properties. That's a win. The Sussex fans can't say the King would not meet them - he hosted them in his private home, out of the public eye, where there could be no fake security events. That too is a win. And the King made them work on his schedule. Not enough notice to stay at BP, meeting at Highgrove on the King's schedule. Job done.
What a sweet kiss! 😍❤️
The Prince and Princess of Wales shared a sweet kiss at the Royal Charity Polo Cup. Wow, don’t they look absolutely stunning! ❤️
No, I have not posted anything about the cost of the traitor spare and his mare’s visit to the UK.
Yes, it’s on purpose.
Look at this lovely picture of William & Catherine today 😍
Not only is the Princess of Wales the first member of the Royal family to complete the challenge - she also did the whole challenge ALONE supported by mountain rescue.
No fuss, no briefing to the media - just her usual quiet, steely determination we know and love ❤️
The #PrincessofWales competed in the #ThreePeaksChallenge-climbing the 3 highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales-Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, and Snowden. It’s generally done within 24 hours. The Princess competed for charity, secretly raising funds for Royal Marsden Cancer Center where she received her own treatment for the disease.
I’m sorry, but that is BADASS. To fight cancer, complete treatment and come back to climb the 3 highest peaks in the U.K. is incredible.
She completed the hiking legs solo, carrying her own gear. After hiking 23 miles (37 km) and a total elevation gain of 10,052 feet (3,064 meters) she was met at the finish line by her husband and 3 children. That’s amazing-she must feel so accomplished and strong. So proud of her. #PrinceofPrincessofWales #PrincessCatherine
