ROYAL NEWS - FYI

Prince George will be christened on Wednesday, October 23 at 11 am (that’s 6 am EDT, 3 am PDT). The ceremony will be at the Chapel Royal, St. James’s Palace. More from Richard Palmer’s story in the Express:

"The Prince, who is third-in-line to the throne, will be three months and one day old. Afterwards, however, there will be photographs released of William, Kate, and their baby son. Aides expect they will include an historic picture of the Queen with three future monarchs – her son Charles, grandson William, and great grandson George."

The Archbishop said he is "...delighted to conduct the baptism". The Chapel Royal is where Princess Diana’s coffin lay for nearly a week following her death in 1997.  The most recent christening of a royal baby at the Chapel Royal was Princess Beatrice’s in 1988.

EVERYTHING I EXPECTED AND MORE....

These are indeed my very own pictures of the wedding. Taking the pictures made me feel like I was there. I watched it live on BBC and I enjoyed each moment.

I was up all night which means I was awake for almost 24 hours. I just couldn't sleep. Hopefully I will get a nap in soon. I did get some sleep from 5:30am until 8:30am but I am now glued to the TV again. After their luncheon William and Catherine came out in a convertible that he was driving. They were going over to change their clothes for their party this evening.

I must say I was so into the hats that everyone was wearing. (well Fergie's daughters hats were a bit weird) I kind of feel like I may just have to get myself a little fluffy hat when I'm in London. Hopefully that desire will pass with time. I still want a replica of the engagement ring. I've been wanting one ever since Diana received hers.

A ROYAL WEDDING

Did you get yours?

( I will be up watching at 2:30am, that is when the procession begins)

I can't wait to buy souvenirs in London!!!

I remember getting up to watch his mother's wedding.

I admired his mother with my whole heart.

P.S. There is a new post at Debby' Tree.
