Duke and Duchess of Cambridge Current Events 7: September 2016-September 2022

Interesting that it’s the “King’s Cup,”, not “Queen’s.”

William prepping for the future? It is their event which I am sure he would like to last well into his reign. As for the lack of news? It would seem this was an embargo broken.

I saw tweets about this but there's nothing official yet - would be great if it is true but slightly sceptical at the moment

The King's Cup will be raced at Henley Royal Regatta 5-7 July 2019

 

[Rudolph]

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will host the inaugural regatta The King’s Cup this summer to raise awareness and funds for eight of Their Royal Highnesses’ patronages.

The event, which will take place on Friday 9th August on the Isle of Wight, will see The Duke and Duchess go head to head as skippers of individual sailing boats, in an eight boat regatta race. The winning team will be awarded The King’s Cup, a historic trophy first presented by King George V at Cowes’ Royal Yacht Squadron in 1920.


The eight boats taking part in The King’s Cup will each represent one of the charities that are being supported this year by Their Royal Highnesses. These include Child Bereavement UK, Centrepoint, the London Air Ambulance Charity 30th Anniversary Campaign, and Tusk – four causes of which The Duke is Patron. The Duchess will support four of her patronages; Action on Addiction, Place2Be, the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families, and The Royal Foundation in connection with Her Royal Highness’s work on Early Years.


The Duke and Duchess are strong advocates for sport, and have undertaken work both in the UK and overseas to highlight the positive impact that sport can have on the individual and within local communities. The Duchess in particular champions how the benefits of sport, nature and the outdoors can impact childhood development, and lead to improved physical and mental wellbeing for all. Their Royal Highnesses hope that The King’s Cup will become an annual event, bringing greater awareness to the wider benefits of sport, whist also raising support and funds for the causes that The Duke and Duchess support.


The King’s Cup, for which Land Rover is Presenting Partner, will take place ahead of Lendy Cowes Week. Members of the public can watch the race from the SailGP Race Village along Cowes foreshore, which is free to access and will include an 800-seater grandstand. Footage from the race will play on screens across the town and there will be a number of family-friendly activities and exhibits to promote sailing around the event, including initiatives and programmes for children and young people.


The King’s Cup will be officially launched on Tuesday 7th May at an event at the Cutty Sark attended by Their Royal Highnesses. On arrival, The Duke and Duchess will join children and young people from a number of their chosen charities as they take part in a simulated sailing race, before joining guests to unveil The King’s Cup

The prince was reunited with some former colleagues from the search and rescue team, and he and Kate had a look inside one of the helicopters, with William getting the chance to sit in the cockpit once again.The couple also met volunteers from the Wales Air Ambulance, which operates next door to the search and rescue base, and joined a discussion about the mental health challenges that can arise from working as first responders, which the duke has previously spoken out about.
Cpt Martin Shepherd, deputy chief pilot at the base, said it had been "a real pleasure" for members of the crew to catch up with Prince William, their former colleague, and discuss how the service was evolving.
"The Duke and Duchess have shown their unwavering support for mental health services and awareness through [mental health charity] Heads Together. Our colleagues were able to offer their views on how support for those affected by mental health issues within the search and rescue community continues to improve."
The couple moved on to the Halen Mon factory in Brynsiencyn, on their former home island of Anglesey, where they were to watch the salt-making process.

“The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will travel to Cumbria on Tuesday 11th June to celebrate the resilience and spirit of rural and farming communities in the region.”

 

[Rudolph]

^^^ Details

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will travel to Cumbria on Tuesday 11th June to celebrate the resilience and spirit of rural and farming communities in the region.

Their Royal Highnesses will first visit the market town of Keswick where they will join a celebration to recognise the contribution of individuals and local organisations in supporting communities and families across Cumbria. They will meet volunteers including those from the local mountain rescue service, community first responders, young people trained as mental health first aiders and other organisations that have benefitted from grants from the Cumbria Community Foundation.

Before departing Keswick, The Duke and Duchess will spend some time in the Market Square meeting members of the public gathered outside.

Their Royal Highnesses will then visit a traditional fell sheep farm, where they will have the opportunity to meet members of the Cumbrian farming community, and learn about some of the key challenges farmers are facing. They will also hear about the peer support networks helping those in the most rural areas and the innovative ways some farms are diversifying. The Duke and Duchess will then spend time on the farm helping with activities such as sheep shearing.

Cumbria is home to the English Lake District, which was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2017, and to England’s largest lake – Windermere – and highest mountain – Scafell Pike. The rural county is visited by millions each year, making tourism key to the economy. Farming and agriculture also has a special place in the Lake District National Park, famous for its native Herdwick sheep, and farmers have worked for centuries on some of the most challenging land in the country.

“THE Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will travel to Asia this autumn for a major official tour.

It is understood the trip will focus on Commonwealth countries, meaning destinations might include Bangladesh, India, Malaysia and Singapore.

Sources believe there is a good chance of a visit to Sri Lanka, where a terror attack on Easter Sunday left at least 258 people dead, but less likelihood of a stop in Brunei, which has attracted criticism for its human rights record. It is believed China was considered but was ruled out.

Fuller details of the tour, which will be weeks apart from a visit by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to Africa, will be announced in the coming weeks.

Kensington Palace declined to comment”

Thanks for the info. But, weren't these countries visited during their first tour of Asia? At least, I know they visited India and Malasya.
