Revealed! That drove Princess Beatrix after the commemoration in London
Numerous European royals appeared at the memorial service of Prince Philip, † 99, on March 29, 2022. As has now become known, a member of the Dutch royal family had another reason to visit London: Princess Beatrix, 84. King Willem-Alexander’s mother, 54, made an appointment after the ceremony in Westminster Abbey. Joined by Queen’s cousin Duke Richard of Gloucester, 77, and his wife Birgitte, 75, the former Queen attended a reception at Kensington Palace to celebrate the centenary of the Anglo-Netherlands Society.
“The @anglonetherlandssociety is committed to promoting goodwill and understanding between the people of the United Kingdom and the Netherlands,” the British palace wrote on its official Instagram account for a photo of the three royals.

Prince Philip’s Memorial: Where was Sarah Ferguson?
On March 29, 2022, Queen Elizabeth, 95, her family and numerous European royals said goodbye to Prince Philip, † 99, for the last time at a memorial service in Westminster Abbey. The monarch appeared at the service together with her son Prince Andrew, 62, – it was his first appearance since his out-of-court settlement in the abuse process. But where was his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, 62?
The Duchess of York was one of the few royals not to attend the memorial service. However, with her daughters present, it is possible Fergie was babysitting her grandchildren, Princess Eugenies, 32, son August, 1, and Princess Beatrice’s daughter Sienna, 6 months.

Duchess Catherine will soon be traveling more often without her husband
Duchess Catherine, 40, will travel more often without Prince William, 39, in the future. This reports “Evening Standard”. The Duchess has planned a series of royal trips that will be shorter than usual, but Kate will visit places and people that are really close to her heart.
According to experts, after more than ten years at Prince William’s side, Kate is ready to represent the Cambridge family alone. A source said: “They’ve both aged and have interests of their own.” For example, Kate developed a passion for early childhood education.
Because Prince Harry, 37, and his wife Duchess Meghan, 40, no longer attend royal appointments and Prince Andrew, 62, has lost all royal patronage due to his abuse scandal, there are not many left to represent the British royal family publicly. Therefore, William and Kate would now have to split some trips, according to British media.

James Middleton and Alizée Thevenet expecting their first child?
James Middleton, 34, and Alizée Thevenet have been married for half a year, and now the first rumors about offspring for the two are appearing. Duchess Catherine’s brother, 40, started the rumors himself by posting a photo for Britain’s Mother’s Day on March 27, 2022. Only the couple’s dogs and a pink bouquet can be seen on it – but not the picture, but rather the text that James wrote for the adorable snapshot, causes enormous attention here. “Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms (especially my mom), grandmothers, dog moms and soon-to-be moms out there,” the 34-year-old wrote.
It’s clear that the fans can hardly get over it and suspect that James also means his wife Alizée with “soon-to-be mothers”. “Is Alizée pregnant?” and “Are you having a baby?” Many users ask, but the businessman has been rare since then and unfortunately does not give a clear answer to the many questions.

Princess Eugenie shares new photo of son August
On Sunday, March 27, 2022, Mother’s Day was celebrated in Great Britain. The royals also paid tribute to the women and mothers in their lives with touching lines. Princess Eugenie, 32, shared two pictures on her official Instagram channel. Alongside a photo of her mother Sarah Ferguson, 62, Eugenie also posted a previously unseen snap of her son August, 1.
The snapshot shows the Mini-Royal in his mother’s arms. Princess Eugenie hugs her son tightly while little August snuggles his face on his mum’s shoulder. It’s a loving moment between mother and son that royal fans rarely see. Under the post there are numerous well-wishers who visibly appreciate the photo. One comment reads, “Ohhh, how cute!! Happy Mother’s Day to you, Princess Eugenie!” But not only the 32-year-old is congratulated on Mother’s Day. As her older sister Princess Beatrice, 33, who gave birth to daughter Sienna Elizabeth in September 2021, has no official social media profile, fans also congratulated her under the post.
