I am really relieved that the Duchess has stopped colouring her hair it was really quite cheap looking and not her at all and being a sshe is so thin made the situation worse IMO she now looks lovely.

She does look good with grey hair. Her hair is still pretty. I like the way she has it pulled back.

Wonderful news for the Gloucester Clan! They are my favorite British royals since they are so quiet yet hard working!

 

[Dralcoffin]

This might have been lost in the shuffle, but one of the babies has arrived!

Cosima Windsor was born on May 20th to Alexander, the Earl of Ulster and his wife Claire. They already have three-year-old Xan.

The Duke's other two daughters, Davina Lewis and Rose Gilman, have due dates later this year.

 

[Zonk]

what wonderful news...I love the name Cosima. Now...if I recall little Xian has a title, Lord (being really lazy and not trying to look anything up) so does that make Cosima a Lady? I know she will be a Lady when her fathers becomes His Grace the Duke of Gloucester.

Xan's Lord Culloden as his courtasy title, so Cosima would be Lady Cosima Windsor.

 

[Dierna23]

Congratulations to the Gloucesters! The name Cosima is a wonderful choice.

 

[iceflower]

Wonderful news and what a lovely name!

Grandfather Richard has been pictured today

The Duke of Gloucester inspected the Chelsea Pensioners during their
Founder's Day Parade at The Royal Hospital Chelsea on June 10, 2010
in London. The celebration is also referred to as is 'Oak Apple Day' as
it commemorates the escape of founder King Charles II following the
Battle of Worcester when he hid in an oak tree to avoid capture by
Parliamentary forces.

Thanks Dralcoffin. This is wonderful news! Congratulations to the family.

 

[Mermaid1962]

I'm always struck by how much the Duke looks like his father's generation of Windsor men. He often reminds me of his father and also George VI.

 

[Lumutqueen]

Xan and Cosima what original names. Congratulations.

She was born May 20th, so quite a while ago. She is Lady Cosima Rose Alexandra Windsor.

[Dierna23]

She does look as lovely as always. Nice to see her again!

 

[OrderofSplendor]

She does look good! What is that pinned on her jacket - looks more like something to do with the event, rather than a brooch?

 

[iceflower]

Could be, OrderofSplendor, but I'm not sure what exactly it is..


The Duke of Gloucester has made an official visit to the Republic of
Korea between 22 - 26 June 2010.

The main reason for the visit have been events to commemorate the
60th Anniversary of the start of the Korean War, but other events
have been included as well. It's been the third official visit of the
Duke of Gloucester after 1983 (there he became the first member
of the British Royal Family to visit Korea) and 1997.

Here are two pics:

[Lumutqueen]

It was lovely that he went to celebrate the anniversary, I didn't know that he was the first royal to visit.

 

[iceflower]

Indeed and it's nice to see that he's representing the Queen not
only in Britain but also abroad!

The Duchess of Gloucester stayed in London and attended a match
in Wimbledon on June 24:
