Hello Cats! Looooooooong time no hear from you, I missed your chats.
Hope you are keeping well?
Yes the new baby I have wondered about that too.
Perhaps they think they are punishing the public! LOL
Hi Cats - Good to see you back on YLC. Hope all's well with you. The Sussex family seems to like being mysterious when it comes to them sharing photos of the children. Remember when Archie was christened in London they wouldn't even share the Godparents names.

The Queen looking stylish!
What do you think about sending George off to boarding school soon aged 7 yrs?
Is this really happening or just media speculation?
The photo above RnR was a more formal one with his parents and David Attenboroungb.
This photo below I think is in their garden in Norfolk UK.
My Dad and his two brothers were sent to boarding school when Dad was just 5. His Father had died at the age of 43 and left a wife and 5 children. She had no option, and the two girls were sent off to Aunts to look after. Dad hated it and cried all the way up to the school in the Himalayas in a steam train. They only saw their Mother once a year. Now they were hard days. I think George will live a charmed life.

The Queen, who has continued with her duties as head of state despite grieving for her late husband, will be staying at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, her official residence in Scotland.
During the visit, the Duke of Cambridge quenched his thirst with a sip of Irn Bru and declared 'you can taste the girders in it' during a factory visit with the Queen.

Queen looks radiant in royal blue as she meets beekeepers and youngsters toasting marshmallows on visit to children's wood project in Glasgow
The Queen, 95, was joined Princess Anne, 70, for a visit to community centre in Glasgow this morning The monarch was radiant in a vibrant blue coat which she paired with matching hat for the engagment Pair visited The Children’s Wood Project in the Scottish city where they spoke with volunteers
They went on to meet schoolchildren and teachers from East Park Primary School. As the group toasted marshmallows, the Queen and Princess Anne heard about the project’s educational initiatives and the children’s experiences of taking part in forest school sessions at the Wood Project.
The Queen went on to visit the Skypark to receive a briefing from the UK Space Agency and view satellite production (pictured)
Over 20 local schools have access to the wood for outdoor lessons, and the Wood Project works with local universities to carry out research and support this form of learning as part of teacher training.
Also known as The North Kelvin Meadow, the Children’s Wood Project demonstrates how community can benefit from the nurturing and use of a wild space in an urban setting.
The local community around The Children’s Wood Project played an active part in protecting the green space and transforming it from a disused site into the thriving outdoor community hub it is today.
The royals went on to visit the Skypark in Glasgow to meet two companies who are leading the way in the space technology field.
Meanwhile the royal attracted quite the fanfare during the visit, with fans lining the street in order to capture a glimpse of the Queen

At another stage, the monarch and her daughter gathered around a fire where they spoke with local school children who were making smores
During the visit, they spoke to staff from AAC Clyde Space, which specialises in the development of advanced satellites, used to collect data for maritime surveillance, environmental monitoring and weather forecasting.
The Queen and Princess Royal also visited the production site, and met representatives from the UK Space Agency.
The pair were then whisked off to visit the offices of Spire Global and viewed a demonstration by staff on the data that is collected by the company’s constellation of satellites in orbit above the Earth’s atmosphere.
The Queen and Princess Anne heard how this information is used for weather forecasts, GPS navigation at sea, the development of renewable energy sources, and to learn more about the planet.

Yesterday the monarch matched in light blue with the First Minister as they held a socially distanced meeting at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh.
The Queen received Ms Sturgeon just after midday, telling her 'it's lovely to have you back here' and that 'a year's gap is incredible' - a nod to her shielding at Windsor Castle with her late husband.
The First Minister smiled and replied: 'It's great to see you in person after so long. It's lovely to have you back here'.
Her Majesty beckoned the SNP leader to take a seat and remarked on the gap between the chairs saying: 'It's still rather distanced I'm afraid'.

Ms Sturgeon replied: 'Well that's very wise' and nodded when the monarch said: 'You must be quite used to that'.
Her Majesty was animated during their chat, smiling and waving her arms as she listened to Ms Sturgeon before receiving Presiding Officer of the Scottish Parliament, Alison Johnstone.
The Queen is leading a Royal charm offensive to help persuade Scotland to resist the demands of nationalists for independence – with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge playing a key supporting role.
The trip, which is being discreetly backed by Downing Street, began on Monday with a trip to the Irn Bru factory in Cumbernauld with Prince William accompanying his grandmother and even trying some of 'Scotland's other national drink'.
William was at a shipyard on the Clyde yesterday and earlier this year gave a deeply personal speech in which he described the 'special place' that Scotland had in his heart, a country which he said held both some of his 'happiest memories' and his 'saddest'.
The mother and daughter duo heard from local beekeepers who lend their time to maintaining the wood’s beehives, before meeting a group of community gardeners tending to their allotments.

The monarch donned a vibrant blue coat for the occasion with a matched hat adorned with blue and white floral decorations (pictured)

It was at Balmoral where he learned of the death of his mother Diana, in 1997. And it was at St Andrews where he met and fell in love with Kate Middleton.
Ahead of the Queen's meeting with the First Minister, there was a background of tension dating back years since they first met seven years ago.
Just last December furious Tories hit out at Ms Sturgeon's 'swipe' at Prince William and Kate Middleton over their whistle-stop trip to Scotland.
The Scottish leader revealed at a daily briefing that the country's government had reminded the Palace of the strict Covid restrictions north of the border ahead of the couple's morale boosting tour.
Travelling across the border at the time was permitted for work purposes and royal sources said that was exactly what the trip was, but Ms Sturgeon chose to warn them anyway.
The monarch is also expected to stay for a few days at Balmoral, Aberdeenshire, at the end of the week privately.

As I commented in the newspaper last night it comes across to me as cold and dark which is not the true refection of the Lady Diana. Perhaps next time, perhaps her Brother could get it better in a white marble something feminine?
Just awful IMO. It seems ugly, drab, stiff, austere and lifeless to me.
Never seen a photo of her with enlarged boobs like that
Yes she looks dead but then I guess she is.
Suze do you remember the first outing Diana had with Charles when they were engaged?

She's in the driving seat! Not wanting to miss any of the action, the Queen drove herself to the prestigious event, said to be her favourite of the year
The Queen seems to be getting younger my the day!
She looks radiant there.
the poor old queen is looking a bit drawn , but at her age i suppose she is entitled to, esp, after the death of 'PHILIP' but she keeps plodding on, i think the statue of DIANNA is horrible, but glad to see the brothers are at least talking,
Hi Cats.
I agree with RnR the queen look radiant since she became widowed, which is rather strange I think.
Perhaps it's the relief Celia. After nursing my late hubby with cancer, and after mourning him, a few weeks later felt I still felt very sad but relieved the ordeal was over and I could relax from being on 24/7 high alert.
Sorry to hear that RnR.
I was more or less comparing HM with Queen Victoria, what a difference.
I know with my husbands surgeries over the last five years it has been stressful and then this recent battle I think the stress has brought my present problems on.
I have always eaten healthy, the doctors at Hollywood Hospital where I was for some time said it has to do with age.
But HM certainly looks beaming with health and happiness in these latest photos.
Pretty in pink! The Queen donned a vibrant all-matching ensemble when presenting the Best Turned out Trooper award at the Royal Windsor Horse Show this afternoon
A royal family affair! Later in the day, the Queen was joined by her youngest son Prince Edward, his wife Sophie, and their daughter Lady Louise Windsor
:) Quite the quick change artist.
