Kate Middleton (pictured) has revealed a glimpse into her ‘unfussy and unpretentious’ Anmer Hall kitchen, sharing some photos of herself baking Platinum Jubilee treats with her three children. The Duchess of Cambridge, 40, was snapped in the kitchen of her Norfolk mansion whipping up some cupcakes with Prince George, eight, Princess Charlotte, seven, and Prince Louis, four (pictured). When it comes to what the kitchen could suggest about the Cambridge’s interests, interior design expert Benji Lewis told FEMAIL: ‘It looks as if cooking is quite the pastime, what with the assorted mixers and the range cooker that looks like it’s an appropriate size to afford versatility when it comes to culinary activity.’ He added: ‘Whilst the overall feel of the kitchen is homely, it’s unfussy and unpretentious, perhaps it’s even a kitchen that was already in the home when they moved into it. It’s certainly not a kitchen in which one would feel required to stand on ceremony, there’s nothing flashy about it, on the contrary it’s very normal with its simple knobs (some unpainted even), some open shelving and a lick of pale blue paint against soft grey or tan walls.’

Prince William goes undercover as a Big Issue seller in London complete with red vest and hat – then poses for a photo after he’s spotted by a passerby who praises the ‘silent gesture’ of charity
Inspiring photographs have emerged online capturing a beaming Duke of Cambridge, 39, quietly selling the magazine in Rochester Row, Westminster, before posing with several passersby (pictured left and centre). In one instance, he was spotted by a passing Londoner, who had a ‘private moment with the future King, who was humble and working silently in the background’, before the royal asked if he wanted to buy the Big Issue. When the passerby said he had ‘no change’, father-of-three William, dressed in a blue shirt and matching jeans, produced a mobile card machine. The Duke of Cambridge has been working alongside projects helping the homeless since his late mother, Princess Diana, took him to visit a London homeless shelter when he was a child. Kensington Palace declined to comment on Prince William’s Big Issue volunteering. Pictured right, Prince William during his visit to Cardiff on Saturday, alongside his wife Kate and their two oldest children, Prince George, eight, and Princess Charlotte, seven.

The Queen has reached an incredible new milestone after becoming the world’s second longest reigning monarch.
Her Majesty, 96, will overtake Thailand‘s King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who reigned for 70 years and 126 days between 1946 and 2016, from today.
Earlier this month, the Queen surpassed Johan II of Liechtenstein, who reigned for 70 years and 91 days, until his death in February 1929.
Louis XIV of France remains the longest-reigning monarch, with a 72-year and 110-day reign from 1643 until 1715, while the Queen’s stint on the throne now stands at 70 years and 126 day, equal to King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s.

Camilla, who names Christina Rossetti’s poem Echo as a favourite, reflects on the success of her Reading Room project, which, she says, many people had assumed would be ‘a total flop’. She adds: ‘It is a book club, something that I conjured up in lockdown. A lot of people wrote to me after I’d recommended a few books for them to read and it went so well and I got so many letters that I thought, why not start to put it on a bigger scale?
‘There were a few people who were convinced that it wasn’t going to go anywhere and it would be a total flop, but luckily I’ve been able to prove them wrong.’
The Duchess of Cornwall placed copies of some of her favourite books in a red phone box library at the tiny library exchange in Abergeldie in rural Aberdeenshire earlier this year
The podcast, part of a series featuring Commonwealth authors, was produced by students at Chester University, where the Duchess, as the Countess of Chester, holds an honorary degree.
Camilla will also open the Daily Mail-sponsored Chalke Valley History Festival, at Broad Chalke, near Salisbury, Wiltshire, on June 20.

Cheeky Guy!
The Duke of York is said to have been lobbying the Queen for his former status to be restored and to be allowed back to official events alongside other royals. Andrew, 62, was stripped of his official duties at the start of this year as he prepared to pay a multi-million-pound settlement to Virginia Giuffre to keep her allegations of sexual abuse, which he denies, out of court. Today, the duke will appear in public alongside senior royals at the annual Order of the Garter ceremony, wearing full regalia as part of the procession at Windsor Castle. He will appear because he is a member of the Order, the country’s oldest and most senior order of chivalry and a personal honour given at the bequest of the Queen. It will be the closest he has been to large crowds of members of the public in recent years and has sparked fears he could even be booed. It was reported last night that the duke believes he should also be included in other royal and state events. Prince Charles is understood to be prominent among those who feel he must be kept at arm’s length to avoid damaging the entire institution of the British monarch

Royals turn out in force for Royal Ascot as Queen misses out | Daily Mail Online
Instead, the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall were in attendance alongside Sophie Wessex, Princess Beatrice and Zara Tindall.
The Queen, who has owned 22 winners of races at Royal Ascot, was among racegoers attending last year after it was selected to take part in the Government’s events research programme on behalf of the sport of racing.
She did not attend the first day of last year’s races but was later present at day five with her racing manager John Warren and inspected her four horses in the Parade Ring after they crossed the finish line.
The Queen is a passionate horse breeder and has a number of runners scheduled to be entered at Royal Ascot this week. But while the monarch will not be in the royal box today, racegoers are likely to see Charles, Camilla and Mr Phillips amongst other royals in there.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge stood with survivors of the fire along and the bereaved at a memorial service also attended by MPs including Theresa May, who was prime minister at the time. The royal couple have long supported survivors and the families who died in the fire on June 14, 2017, which was accelerated by deadly combustible cladding and where many of those who died had been told to stay in their flats. 72 people died in the tragedy – but more are feared to have perished but were never identified. And today with tears streaming down the faces of mourners, dressed in green and clutching photographs of their loved ones, the fifth anniversary was marked. There are a number of other events planned for today, including outside the shell of Grenfell. Today’s congregation stood as the Westminster Abbey special service choir sang Psalm 102:1: ‘Hear my prayer, O Lord, and let my crying come unto thee.’ The names of the 72 men, women and children who lost their lives in the worst fire in a generation were also read out. After each group of names was read out, the congregation said in unison ‘Forever in our hearts’ – the phrase emblazoned across the top of the covered-up tower in north Kensington.

Mrs Middleton is a wealthy woman so why does she wear a cheap copy of her daughters dress I wonder? One pet hate I have is that so many dresses these days are short waisted like this one is. Very hard to find a good fitting dress, but when they have money to spend I would have thought she could have done much better for herself.

1837 – Queen Victoria succeeds to the British throne.
Victoria, Alexandrina Victoria (1819–1901) was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 20 June 1837 until her death. From 1 May 1876, she adopted the additional title of Empress of India.
Victoria at age 5 with her mother the Duchess of Kent. Portrait of Victoria at age 14 with her spaniel Dash by George Hayter, 1833.
Victoria later described her childhood as “rather melancholy”. Her mother was extremely protective, and Victoria was raised largely isolated from other children under the so-called “Kensington System”, an elaborate set of rules and protocols devised by the Duchess and her ambitious and domineering comptroller, Sir John Conroy. Victoria shared a bedroom with her mother every night, studied with private tutors to a regular timetable, and spent her play-hours with her dolls and her King Charles Spaniel, Dash.
Victoria inherited the throne on 20 June 1837 at the age of 18, after her father’s three elder brothers had all died, leaving no surviving legitimate children.
The United Kingdom was already an established constitutional monarchy, in which the sovereign held relatively little direct political power. Privately, Victoria attempted to influence government policy and ministerial appointments; publicly, she became a national icon who was identified with strict standards of personal morality.
Coronation of Queen Victoria 28 June 1838 by Sir George Hayter.
The coronation of Queen Victoria took place just over a year after she inherited the throne.
Victoria married her first cousin, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, in 1840. Their nine children married into royal and noble families across the continent, tying them together and earning her the sobriquet “the grandmother of Europe”. After Albert’s death in 1861, Victoria plunged into deep mourning and avoided public appearances.
Marriage of Victoria and Albert by Sir George Hayter.
Victoria’s reign of 63 years and seven months is known as the Victorian era and was longer than that of any of her predecessors. It was a period of industrial, cultural, political, scientific, and military change within the United Kingdom, and was marked by a great expansion of the British Empire. Her Golden and Diamond Jubilees were times of great public celebration.

William’s masterplan to shape HIS monarchy: Prince will CELEBRATE nations ditching the crown, speak his mind on issues close to his heart and leave NO place for rogue Andrew in slimmed-down Firm, his closest confidantes tell REBECCA ENGLISH
Like his father, Prince William believes a slimmed-down Royal Family is the best way to ensure its survival – and that his shamed uncle, Prince Andrew, should never have a part to play in it again (Princes William, Andrew and Charles pictured left, William and Andrew bottom right). There is no doubt that William passionately believes the Royal Family has an important part to play in national life, as long as it remains credible and relevant. But while he is never going to do anything to unsettle it, it is a mistake to assume he will follow his grandmother’s ‘never complain, never explain’ mantra (Prince William and Kate are pictured top right in Kingston, Jamaica, in March)

Happy birthday Prince William.
Prince William was born at St Mary’s Hospital, London on 21 June 1982 as the first child of Charles, Prince of Wales and Diana, Princess of Wales.
His names, William Arthur Philip Louis, were announced by Buckingham Palace on 28 June.
He was baptised by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Robert Runcie, in the Music Room of Buckingham Palace on 4 August, the 82nd birthday of his paternal great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. William had six godparents: former King Constantine II of Greece; Princess Alexandra, The Honourable Mrs Ogilvy ; the Duchess of Westminster; Lady Susan Hussey; Lord Romsey; and Sir Laurens van der Post. He was the first child born to a Prince and Princess of Wales since Prince John in 1905.

The Archbishop of Canterbury had been due to take the Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral as part of the Platinum Jubilee weekend, but had to pull out when he was struck down with the disease. Today he finally got the chance to congratulate Her Majesty face-to-face, as part of a meeting with Her Majesty at Windsor Castle, in which he praised her ‘unstinting’ service to the Church of England. Her Majesty, who has recently faced mobility issues at the age of 96, was pictured smiling at he gave her a special citation to mark her Platinum Jubilee. In the audience the Most Rev Welby gave the Queen the small silver cross, inspired by a 9th century Saxon brooch and incorporating a triquetra pattern, as a ‘heartfelt symbol’ of the church’s ‘love, loyalty and affection’. The Queen, wearing her glasses and dressed in a cream dress decorated with a pattern of large pink flowers, was photographed standing as she was shown the cross. The monarch shook hands with the archbishop, who wore purple clerical robes, as he entered the Oak Room sitting room in the Berkshire castle. Presented in a vivid red box and attached to a blue ribbon, the cross was specially crafted for its royal recipient with platinum inserts in recognition of her milestone 70 years on the throne.

Edward caused one of the biggest crises in the history of the monarchy when he abdicated in 1936 after less than a year on the throne so he could marry American divorcee Wallis Simpson. The then Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin had insisted along with the rest of the Establishment that Edward would have to first give up his position before he could tie the knot with Wallis. Within months of renouncing his title, he and Wallis married in France. But, speaking today at the Chalke Valley History Festival, which is sponsored by the Daily Mail, historian Professor Jane Ridley said Edward’s abdication stemmed from the fact his father had made ‘no attempt’ to prepare him for being king. She said she showed him no affection or praise and made no effort to ‘build a relationship’, which in the long run had ‘quite bad effects’ and was one of the ‘key factors leading up to the abdication’. As a result, whilst the Queen and her father King George VI are ‘famous’ for diligently reading official government papers, Edward’s would ‘come back with wine stains and cigarette burns on them’, Professor Ridley said. She added Edward thought his role was a ‘waste of time’ and to a ‘large extent’ this was a ‘reaction against his dad who bullied him’.

Beaming Queen, 96, stands with walking stick for first public appearance since her Jubilee weekend as she takes part in ancient ‘Ceremony of the Keys’ ritual at Holyroodhouse with Prince Edward and Sophie
The 96-year-old, who has cut back on public engagements due to mobility issues, is in Edinburgh and was all smiles as she took part in the historic Ceremony of the Keys – the traditional opener to Holyrood week for the Royals. She has been joined by her youngest son, Edward, and his wife, Sophie, known as the Earl and Countess of Forfar while they are in Scotland, for the event, which is taking place at the Palace of Holyroodhouse. The ceremony sees the monarch handed the keys of the city and welcomed to her ‘ancient and hereditary kingdom of Scotland’.

Princess Charlene stepped out for her first solo engagement since returning to Monaco after a stint in a treatment centre for ‘exhaustion’. The princess, 44, who shares seven-year-old twins Gabriella and Jacques with husband Prince Albert, 64, paid a visit to patients, staff and families at the Princess Grace Hospital Centre (pictured), the only public hospital in Monaco. Charlene is slowly readjusting to royal duties after remaining largely out of the public eye over the last 18 months. She spent 10 months in her native South Africa last year after contracting a sinus infection that later required surgery. She returned to Monaco in November but was there for a matter of days before leaving for a Swiss treatment facility. The exact nature of her condition was not made public but Albert said she was ‘exhausted’.
Most of the Daily Mail writing makes me wonder the same LOL.
