Thanks for the pictures! You left sunny and warm Australia for a trip to cold, dark and rainy Britain. Hope you are enjoying your trip!

I hope you also get to see some of the countryside places royal, noble and rich people have lived or are still living. Years ago I was so obsessed with visiting many of those great old country residences. We mainly went to Dorset and Devon, just beautiful, not only the houses but also the countryside. Great Britian is really very special when it comes to the preservation of those old buildings.Yes hereditarytitles, wonderful here.
We walked from Pavlos and Marie-Chantal's house in Cheyne Walk along to Kate and Pippa's flat and then onto Diana's flat.
I was surprised how close these places are to each other, especially the first two.
Interesting to see where these famous people live/have live.
We know that the Princess has finished her chemotherapy. We don't know if there are other treatments she may still be undergoing.My understanding is that she has completed her treatment.
Wonder why those blue plaques aren't on the buildings?Yes hereditarytitles, wonderful here.

It has to be of historical significance and those places are not. I certainly don't want to see blue plagues because members of the married in royal family lived there.Wonder why those blue plaques aren't on the buildings?
I can see why they wouldn't be placed where famous people are currently living, but why not on places such as Diana's flat?
I remember seeing a big sign in front of Diana's flat, it was in one of the pictures Sun Lion posted in another thread which is about Kensington Palace IIRCWonder why those blue plaques aren't on the buildings?

Sky News understands the King was made aware of Mr Pettifer's death through official channels, was deeply saddened, and has been in touch with the family to share personal condolences.
Yes, it is, taken on December 25, 2024That photo is from Christmas day?
It really is a wonderful photo of Catherine!
Very interesting. Was that HM’s decision?![]()
Kate prepares to honour British brands with royal warrants

The Times is reporting that the Prince and Princess of Wales will begin awarding royal warrants later this year. It will be the first time since the then Princess (later Queen) Mary that warrants have been issued for a Princess of Wales.
It must have been. I don't think anyone else has the authority to grant permission.Very interesting. Was that HM’s decision?
I agree the period of time they have been married, also Catherine appears to have grown into her role.Well William and Catherine have actually been married longer than the time Charles and Diana were together before their separation. That could play a part. Or Charles didn't want to share the spotlight with his wife. I do think it’s a bit different Diana marrying Charles who had already been granting Royal Warrants (presumably) vs William becoming Prince of Wales while long married to Catherine. It feels more natural the conversation about whether to include her a grantor of Royal Warrants would come about IMO.
Apparently, Charles only started granting Royal Warrants (by permission of the queen - so it was not his decision) in 1980, so I don't think that was the issue per se; nonetheless, the queen seemed to have had the opinion that members of the royal family first needed to show that they were worthy of certain privileges and honors and that they didn't just come with their position.Well William and Catherine have actually been married longer than the time Charles and Diana were together before their separation.
