The Daily Mail reports that Camilla removed her garland and wiped the tika off her forehead once she got inside the theatre.  Significant? Likely not.

Carole Middleton Denied Australian Nanny Job?

Rumors have it that the Cambridges wanted the Duchess’ mother, Carole, to accompany them on their visit to Australia and New Zealand next spring; however, the Queen is said to have put her foot down and denied the request. Prince William’s childhood nanny, Jessie Webb, has been lending a helping hand with Prince George and it is likely she will get the nod for the upcoming tour. The tour is expected to last a few months so it is understandable that the new parents would want to bring Prince George along as Prince Charles and Diana did when they toured Down Under with a young Prince William in May 1983.

Throwback Thursday – Prince William’s Christening

Prince William’s christening (1982)

August 4, 1982: Prince William was christened by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Robert Runcie, in the Music Room at Buckingham Palace. It was on this day that Prince William’s impressive godparents were revealed: the former King Constantine of Greece, Princess Alexandra, the Honourable Lady Ogilvy, the Duchess of Westminster, Lady Susan Hussey, Lord Romsey, and Sir Laurens van der Post. Prince William had to share the spotlight with his great-grandmother, the Queen Mother, as his baptism was also on her 82nd birthday. Princess Margaret stirred up some family drama when she would not interrupt her trip to Italy to attend the event stating, “The christening of your nephew’s child isn’t the most important occasion of the year.” Her husband, Lord Snowden, stayed behind and took the official portraits marking the occasion.
