That it is and
I'd love to get my hands on it and the complete set w/the cups, saucers and etc. Can't wait to show the pics to my Dad tomorrow. I get my love of china honestly and he's going to drool when he sees this set.
Not surprised at all. One thing that escapes those who usually beat the "Kate doesn't do that much work as a Member of the BRF" very tired rug over and over and over again miss something I thought of a long time ago. She's given her Patronage to only a select few at the moment, and while it is giving her time to get her confidence and "Royal legs" under her, another very important thing is also true : She has the ability to be more than just a Figurehead Patroness and be more involved in how to help her Charities on a more hands on way than she would if she'd gone down the Traditional Royal Route (For lack of a better term.)
JMO of course, but I think I'm safe in saying this is not the first instance of Kate taking such a hands on approach w/her Charities. I mean...Look at the M-PACT program w/The Art Room or Place2Be (I know it's one or the other, but blanking on which ATM) and now we have her coming up w/the idea of this China set to sell to raise funds for EACH's new campaign. Add in she took the time to write back to this poor Mum and also remember her when they met...I'd rather have that kind of a Lady representing Britain and the Commonwealth than someone who only does Charity work so her name and face is everywhere to be seen.
He did indeed.
Thank you so much, I'll go check it out.
