Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles latest alleged phone hacking victims

It has been confirmed by the palace that senior members of the British Royal Family phone lines have be hacked. Phone numbers were sold  by those that are in charge of protected the Royal Family. Rupert Murdoch's News International has been charged with getting information thru payment according to police official in London. Why does this angry me well I am going to rant for a bit you can agree or disagree. The British Royal Family is allowed to have a private life. Without the glare of media period! They share enough with us thru public engagements or weddings or tours to other counties.Why can't the Queen or Her Son Prince Charles have private talks with others. How would you feel if your conversation where printed for all to see. 


Rupert Murdoch has alot to answer for in regards to this matter.  Mr Mudroch how would you feel if I or anyone taped your phone lines. Think about Mr Mudroch?

Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

This was the first tour as married couple.. one of many. I have been so impressed with how Duke and Duchess carry themselves in all events in Canada. From planting a tree next to tree William's parents planted in 1983. You could see in William's face that he was thinking of both his parents.After all they are his parents. No matter what is said about the Wales marriage they raised a son that is full of compassion for others. Talking to a little girl with cancer to getting down on their level. Was learned by his mother to him. He is no longer that little boy that we watched grow up, he is a grown man. That is now married to someone that is very much her own women.

Catherine Middleton(HRH Duchess of Cambridge) is stunning in her own way. We have watched her grow into this role first as girlfriend and then his fiance and now his lovely wife. Catherine is lovely in her way. Smiling and happy and glowing. She was so sweet little girl with cancer and talking to students. Just down to earth. Looking stunning in her outfits. Her main job as wife of Prince William is to give support and love to her husband.

I was so impressed with both of them. I think anyone that follows the British Royal Family should be proud of the future of this family. God Bless William and Catherine!

Welcome to United States TRH Duke and Duchess of Cambridge!

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge touched down at LAX Friday afternoon to kick off a whirlwind weekend of meetings, charity events and photo opportunities. The couple were greeted by Gov. Jerry Brown and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
Photographers from around the world let their trigger fingers fly as they snapped pictures of William and Kate exiting their plane at the West Gate of LAX.
"Welcome to California," Brown told William as they shook hands. As a gift, the governor reportedly prepared an iPad 2 loaded with California themed music from the Mamas and the Papas, the Beach Boys and LL Cool J.
The two left the airport in a black Range Rover SUV with police escort.
Their weekend is booked solid with events. On Saturday William will play in a polo match in Santa Barbara. Proceeds from the tickets will benefit the American Friends of The Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry. That's the American wing of the royal brothers' charity which supports at-risk youth, veterans and the environment.
Saturday night the couple hit a red carpet party hosted by the British Academy of Film and TV Arts. Celebrities like Tom Hanks, Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Lopez are on the guest list. Rising stars of the British film and TV industry will also be at the event.
On Sunday the couple stop at Skid Row to meet with youth from Inner-City Arts, an arts education organization in the heart of downtown LA. Then they head to Culver City to attend a job fair for U.S. servicemen and women before boarding a plane back to England.

Had to share this. Lovely story

'My Mommy is in heaven with Diana': The heartbreaking story behind the little girl who dreamed of meeting a princess... and melted Kate's heart

With stage four cancer, little Diamond Marshall may not live to see her dream of meeting Sleeping Beauty's Princess Aurora at Disneyland.
But the six-year-old came pretty close yesterday when she was invited to present a bouquet of flowers to the Duchess of Cambridge as she arrived in Calgary, Canada.
Diamond was so thrilled by the opportunity, that instead of passing across the bouquet, she flung herself forward for a hug, much to Catherine's delight.

Dream come true: Six-year-old Diamond Marshall, who was chosen to present a bouquet of flowers to the Duchess of Cambridge, was so thrilled, she leaned in for a hug, much to Catherine's delight

Token: Diamond, pictured before her diagnosis, gave the Catherine a friendship bracelet

As well as the colourful posy, Diamond also presented a heart-shaped trinket box, containing a friendship bracelet she had made for the Duchess herself.
It was a rare moment of joy for the youngster, who has been suffering from undifferentiated sarcoma, a rare childhood cancer that affects the body's soft tissues.

 

Since her diagnosis in February, she has been through surgery and spent weeks in and out of hospital, and has lost her hair due to chemotherapy treatment for the tumour on her abdomen.
Her illness is fresh hardship for the family following the loss of her mother, Memory Marshall, to a different cancer four years ago, at the age of just 32.

Emotional boost: Diamond, who is battling a rare cancer, has always dreamed of meeting a princess

Battle: It was a moment of pure joy for the youngster, who is undergoing chemotherapy for a rare cancer

Today, Diamond's stepmother, Danielle Marshall, 32, told MailOnline how she and her husband Lyall, 37, made the kindergartener's dream a reality.
Well aware of his daughter's love for all things princess-related, Mr Marshall had mused: 'Maybe she should meet Princess Kate... She will be coming to Calgary, after all.'
The response was overwhelming enthusiasm from Diamond, who wrote a touching letter to the Duchess expressing her desire.
It read: 'Dear Princess Kate. My name is Diamond Ann. I am six. I was named after Princess Diana. My Mommy Memory is in heaven with her.

Family support network: Diamond with her father, Lyall, stepmother Danielle and little sister Freya, 23 months

Playing princess: Diamond, pictured before (left) and after she lost her hair, has just finished Kindergarten

'I have cancer. I spend a lot of time at the hospital. I watched you get married from my bed there. You looked pretty.

Fresh hardship: Diamond's mother, Memory, died from cancer at the age of just 32, four years ago

'I like playing Princess dress up. My favourite princess is Aurora. Who is yours. I would really like to meet you. Do you wait [sic] to meet me too? '
A few days later, Mrs Marshall called the Children's Wish Foundation of Canada to see if there was anything they could do.
'I called them and said, this is going to sound crazy,' she revealed. Mr Marshall also sent the organisation a letter of his own.
He wrote: 'We realize she may not have the chance to go to Disneyland where she wants to lunch with Princess Aurora of the fabled story Sleeping Beauty.
'Should the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge just happen to swing by for a little visit, it would go a long way for helping her spirits, her surrounding family and friends.
She is in awe of Princess Kate's fairytale-like story.'
At the beginning of June the family learned that Diamond had been chosen to present the Duchess's bouquet - though they were all required to keep the news a secret - even Diamond.

'I'm not sure she managed to keep it a secret from her friends,' admitted Mrs Marshall, who is mother to Diamond's little sister, Freya, 23 months.
After her meeting with the Royal couple, Diamond said: 'She told me she liked the flowers a lot.
'She was as fancy as she looks on the TV.'

UNDIFFERENTIATED SARCOMA

 Undifferentiated sarcoma is a very rare childhood cancer that affects the body's soft connective tissues.
Symptoms include pain or swelling in the affected area. If the tumour is particularly large, it can press on other organs, affecting their performance.
According to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, which specialises in treating children with high-risk cancers, no single treatment method appears to be successful alone.
The usual course of action includes surgical removal of the tumour, chemotherapy and sometimes radiation.
A treatment plan will be based on which part of the body is affected, whether the tumour has spread, and how much of it could be removed in surgery.

Mrs Marshall, who stood close to the little girl throughout the meeting, told how the Duchess complimented Diamond's dress.
She said Catherine was 'so lovely and so gracious. For a little girl who has dreamed of meeting a princess it was a dream come true.'
Mr Marshall added: 'This is so great for her health - it's such a boost for her emotionally, and for her strength.'
Though Diamond is currently in and out of hospital for chemotherapy sessions, Mrs Marshall says that she is responding well to treatment, and that her tumour is shrinking. She is scheduled for further surgery in mid-August.

Diamond's dream was made possible thanks to the Children's Wish Foundation of Canada.

This year, the Foundation expects to grant 1,000 new wishes and grants nearly three wishes every day.

Each wish is an individual adventure, carefully structured to meet the needs of a particular child and family. For more information visit www.childrenswish.ca

Congrats to TSH Prince Albert and Princess Charlene of Monaco!

They always knew the welcome would be warm.
But as they arrived for an official Canada Day show in an open-topped landau yesterday, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge looked simply overwhelmed by the adulation – and the heat.
More than half a million flag waving people crammed the streets of the city – many having travelled hundreds, if not thousands of miles - just to catch a glimpse of the glamorous newly-weds in temperatures of more than 90F.

Rapturous welcome: Prince William and his wife Catherine arrive at the Canadian Museum of Civilisation  where they took part in a citizenship ceremony to mark Canada Day. The Duchess of Cambridge wore a red hat with maple leaves

Spectacular: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrive by horse drawn landau to Parliament Hill in Ottawa

Flourish: The Duchess smiles for the cameras as she shows off her hat by Sylvia Fletcher for Lock and Co

While many were keen to see the prince, there is little doubt that it is Kate, 29, who is winning their hearts in what is widely considered to be a dress rehearsal for the rest of her public life.

Television channels and newspapers are offering wall to wall coverage of the new Duchess’s charm offensive - and while she insists she doesn’t want to be seen as just a ‘clothes horse’, Kate did not disappoint.

In her first 24 hours on Canadian soil there have no fewer than five different outfits, beginning with the £575 smart navy Smythe les Vestes blazer, Roland Mouret shift and Manolo Bhlanik pumps she sported on leaving Heathrow on Thursday.

This was followed by a blue and cream lace Erdem dress and her much-loved £175 LK Bennett cream pumps for her first two engagements, a visit to the National War Memorial followed by a formal welcome at Government House.

In the evening there was a ‘fun’ BBQ with the cream of Canada’s youth for which Kate rolled out another pair of old favourites, the Issa bird print wrap dress she wore the day before she got married with a pair of Pied a Terre sling back wedge heels.

Today there were another outfit to wow the crowds including another familiar sight, the cream £159 Nanette dress by high street store  Reiss that she wore for her engagement portrait. The dress was topped off  with a Sylvia Fletcher for Lock and Co hat.

Proudly pinned to the Duchess’s dress was The Queen Mother’s diamond Maple Leaf brooch, given to the late monarch  by the people of Canada in 1939 and passed down through a generation of royal women.
She accessorised this time with an on-trend Anya Hindmarch tan and coral clutch, in the shape of a fan.
Her final outfit was to be unveiled overnight at an evening pop and rock concert.

And next week Kate is set to create a stir again when she dons full ‘western’ dress including jeans, shirt and cowboy boot at a rodeo in Calgary.

On their first full day of engagements in Ottawa, the launch pad for their gruelling 11 day tour of Canada and the US, the couple attended a Citizenship Ceremony.

Charmed: The couple greeted newly sworn in Canadian citizens who presented them with flags and flowers

They watched intently while 25 young men and women – from vastly different backgrounds and cultures -  became fully-fledged Canadians.

Each took the Oath of Citizenship, professing loyalty to the prince’s grandmother, the Queen.

As each new citizen stepped forward, William presented them with a folded Canadian flag before his wife then handed over a small hand flag.

Then it was off to the official Canada Day celebrations in an open-topped carriage similar to the one the couple used on the way back to Buckingham Palace following their April wedding.

The state landau was built in the 1890s from hand-wrought iron and carved wood. It was bought by Governor General Earl Grey in 1911 for $4,000 and donated to the nation.

As they arrived, the crowds - many waving home-made banners saying Canada loves William and Kate - went wild and their reception was akin to a pop concert.

The couple took their places in a VVIP section and watched the two hour show designed to celebrate the nation’s 144th birthday and featured both music and military displays.
William also gave a short speech to thunderous applause and high pitched screams in which he thanked the Canadian people for their welcome.

Aides have told the Mail the couple have been ‘thrilled and touched’ by the way in which the country – where the Queen is still head of state – has taken them to their hearts.
‘It’s unbelievable. I don’t any of us expected anything like this,’ they said.

Patriotism: Canadians dressed in red and brandishing signs supporting Kate and William swamped the event

Fans wait to catch a glimpse of the Royal couple
