Is it a Scottish thing? "Your Grace" was used in both England and Scotland until Henry VIII decided that he wanted to be "Your Majesty" to show that he was head of the Church and the universe and so on and so forth , and "Your Royal Highness" wasn't used anywhere at that time, but Scotland stuck with "Your Grace".

 

[Heavs]

Non royal Dukes are still "Your Grace" aren't they? And Archbishops. It might be as Yukari says because William is acting as Lord High Commissioner. I can't find any info on whether it's a Scottish style instead of HRH. I think PC is still referred to as HRH when he's DoR.

They look like they're having fun on the beach.

I believe it was explained elsewhere that they used "Your Grace" because of William being the Lord High Commissioner of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.

Really lovely to see the Duke and Duchess back in St Andrew's today.

The royal couple also paid a nice friendly visit to Pittenweem.

 

[Somebody]

I assume there are no requirements to keep your distance anymore in Scotland? If there are, it seems better that the royal family refrains from visiting public locations to avoid people gathering closely together as happened today.

"The thoughtful note featured a sketch of St Andrews - the university town where the couple met while both studying - which Kate drew in 2002.It shows a view of the town from West Sands beach, with the Duchess seemingly using a splash of blue watercolour paint to bring out the sky."

That sketch of St. Andrews by Catherine is quite good. She's quite a creative and artistic person isn't she? This is another area that she has in common with her father-in-law and something that they're both quite good at. ?

 

[Somebody]

Wow! Quite impressive!

I couldn't do that (not artistic at all)

I’m so impressed. That’s lovely. Catherine is very skilled in the arts.

 

[camelot23ca]

Wow, that’s a great sketch! I’ve always thought Catherine was a talented photographer, but I don’t think I ever knew she could draw.

I can see why she and Charles seem to get along well.

Quick turn around from last night. Northern Ireland has two royal visits in two weeks. Good to see them out and about visiting people.

 

[Heavs]

She's braver than me in petting that tarantula and looking like it's as cute as the duckling

 

[muriel]

She is clearly no arachnophobic!

Yes great to see them in Northern Ireland and hopefully we'll have more visits to the North as things start to come back to normal.

 

[Tarlita]

I am not afraid of spiders but there is no way I could allow a tarantula to sit on my hand. Young Catherine is braver than I am. And she looks lovely in that pant suit.

 

[Osipi]

Years ago when I was a Girl Scout leader, we took our Brownie troop to a local nature center where one of the attractions was that a tarantula was brought out for the girls to handle and feel how fuzzy they are. Every single little girl wanted to hold the tarantula. None of us adult leaders would go near the thing. Me included.

The wonder of a child eh? Catherine had guts. Real guts to do that if you ask me.

 

[Tirilschatz]

As an animal lover I would hold any animal unless it is a bird so it was nothing special for me that she held this cute little spider.

Always good to see the engage directly with children, espoecially on a topic that we know is close to William's heart.

I'm sure it's having kids of their own that really helps them communicate to kids on a public basis. To inspire children is to change the world. ?
