Extracurricular activities

Despite the lack of gadgets, the prince and princess are not bored. George has already tried himself on stage - he played a sheep in a Christmas school play. Charlotte's day is scheduled literally by the hour: in her two years she is already successfully studying Spanish, going to dances, showing interest in books and tennis, and also following the progress of her older brother.
Birth of a brother
Today, another and perhaps the most important event of the year happened in the life of George and Charlotte - How the children reacted to the new family member is not yet reported. But we know that Charlotte will definitely take care of his upbringing!
Not so long ago, the media, British society and the whole world followed a significant event in the life of the royal family - the long-awaited wedding of Prince Harry, younger son first pretender to the throne of the prince Welsh Charles and Princess Diana.

However, Prince William himself went to such a responsible step for a long time. His biography and history of relationships is no less interesting and impressive than that of his brother. That is what we want to tell you about today. But first, a few words about the place of the two princes in royal family and in line for the throne.
British princes
There are now 11 princes in the country, ranging from the queen's husband, Prince Consort Philip, who cannot claim the throne (according to British rules of succession to the throne, the husband of the reigning queen cannot become king), and ending with Prince Michael of Kent, the queen's cousin, who is 43 th seat to the royal throne.
The first claimant to the British throne is Crown Prince Charles, the Queen's eldest son. His first wife was the favorite of British society, Princess Diana, who bore him two sons: William and Harry. In 1996, the couple divorced, and a year later Diana died in a car accident.
The princes grew up under the scrutiny of the public and became one of the most popular figures in the British royal family. Now the older brother is second in line to the throne, and the younger is only sixth.
Prince William

short biography
William is the first crown prince who was not born in the royal palace. Princess Diana gave birth to him at St Mary's Hospital in London.
William had a close relationship with his mother. Princess Diana broke with royal traditions and paid a lot of attention to raising her children on her own: she did not hire nannies, she bought clothes herself, chose schools, played and worked with them.
At the age of 8, Prince William entered Ludgrove Boarding School in Berkshire, where he lived on general conditions in a room with four classmates. At school, he led the hockey team and the rugby team, played football and basketball well, swam well and was engaged in cross-country running.
After school, the prince moved to one of the most prestigious British colleges - Eton. There he majored in biology, geography and art history. William studied well and easily got along with his peers. He is remembered as a sociable, polite and modest person.
The prince was 14 years old when his parents divorced. He took it hard, as he was always more drawn to his mother than to his father. However, Princess Diana remained to live in the palace and still talked a lot with the children.
Prince William took the death of his mother in 1997 hard. For some time he had to visit a psychoanalyst to cope with grief.
In 2000, the prince graduated from Eton College and took a year off from his studies: he traveled, worked on an English farm, and thought about the future. He decided to enter the prestigious Scottish University of St. Andrews, where he met his future wife, Kate Middleton.
After graduation, William worked as a prince - representing the Queen on trips and attending official events, and also did charity work, received an officer's rank at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, became a Second Lieutenant in the Royal Cavalry. Then he graduated from flying school and moved to the Royal air Force, rising to the rank of captain. The prince now serves as a rescue helicopter pilot.
Relationship with Kate Middleton
Before meeting Kate Middleton, Prince William had several short romances. In St. Andrews, he first liked the daughter of a famous London doctor, Olivia Hunt. They began a relationship that developed so rapidly that the prince even missed the university beauty contest, which was attended by Kate Middleton. And only a few months later, William got to a charity fashion show, where he saw Kate in a translucent dress, which made him forget about Olivia.
At the party after the show, the prince raised a glass of champagne to Katherine's success on the catwalk and tried to start a relationship with her, although this did not work out right away - at first they became friends. But gradually they began to connect something more. Only in 2004 did their romance become officially known: Kate and William rented a mansion in which they lived together as a couple.
The prince's relationship with Kate Middleton was long and not cloudless. One William rushed between two and even three girls: Kate had to compete with Isabella Anstruther-Goch-Kalsorp and Jessica Craig. In 2004, the couple almost broke up. The prince then announced that he was not going to marry until at least 29 years old. And in 2007, William and Kate nevertheless broke up - however, not for long. But the prince was still in no hurry to call Catherine in marriage. The media nicknamed Middleton Waitie Katie“Waiting Katie,” she had to wait so long for a marriage proposal.
In 2010, Prince William finally proposed to Kate Middleton and gave Princess Diana's favorite engagement ring as an engagement ring. It was a long-awaited event not only for the bride, but for the whole of Great Britain. They say that William finally obeyed his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, who advised him to decide on his future wife and think about children.

Prince William is not the direct heir to the throne, so his wedding was not considered a state event and should not have been completely subject to protocol. The couple was free to choose many details, including the guest list. In total, 1900 guests were invited to the wedding: the British royal family, members of foreign royal families, diplomats, personal friends of the couple, even ex girls prince. William's best man was his brother Prince Harry and bridesmaid was Kate's sister Pippa Middleton.
The main sensation of the wedding was the simple origin of the bride: traditionally, members of the royal family married aristocrats, but Kate Middleton came from a wealthy bourgeois family. But for Queen Elizabeth, this did not become a hindrance, and she gave permission for the marriage - and it is required for her immediate family.
Kate Middleton's outfit attracted considerable attention from the media and guests at the wedding. The girl chose an elegant white dress from British designer Sarah Burton, creative director of the brand. Alexander McQueen. By tradition, the outfit must carry symbolic meaning, so the dress was decorated with hand-embroidered lace flowers - the symbols of Great Britain: roses, clover, daffodils and thistles. The outfit was complemented by a luxurious tiara, borrowed from Queen Elizabeth. Prince William himself, by tradition, was dressed in full dress military uniform.
To create the bride's ring, the Queen gave the couple a Welsh gold nugget, another royal tradition. Prince William decided not to make a ring for himself - firstly, he does not like to wear rings, and secondly, this is not accepted among the male half of the royal family.
On the day of the wedding, the prince received the title of Duke of Cambridge, and after the ceremony, his wife became known as the Duchess of Cambridge.
Family life and children

The newborn was baptized by the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby in London, in the royal chapel of St. James's Palace. It was here a few years ago that the christening ceremony of Prince George took place.
The chapel of St. James's Palace is considered the traditional venue for the sacred rite for all members of the royal family. For example, Meghan Markle's private christening ceremony took place here, which took place shortly before her wedding to Prince Harry. And for Prince William, the place has a special meaning - in 1961, his mother, Princess Diana, was baptized here, and on the eve of her funeral, in 1997, there was a coffin in the chapel.
British subjects are sure that the date for the christening ceremony of the youngest heir to the throne was also not chosen by chance - it was on July 9, 1947 that young Elizabeth and her beloved Philip announced their engagement.
Many were worried about the question of who will become the godparents of the little prince. As a result, the parents chose six people at once, among whom were Lady Laura Meade, Lucy Middleton, Nicholas van Cutsem, Guy Pelly, Harry Aubrey-Fletcher and Mrs. Robert Carter.
Of course, for such significant event numerous relatives and friends of the royal family flocked. Curious Britons also gathered around the chapel, because for them it was almost the first opportunity to see the newborn Prince Louis, who, by the way, is the fifth in line of contenders for the throne.

Now younger sister Kate is increasingly choosing dresses that emphasize her rounded tummy. This social event was no exception: Pippa opted for an elegant blue dress, complementing the look with an unusual matching hat.
Of course, the main character of the evening was a young mother, Kate Middleton, who appeared at her son's christening in a beige dress and an unusual hat that looked like a crown. Fans immediately noted that the Duchess of Cambridge managed to get into perfect shape, dropping those extra pounds in just three months.
Fans also noted how Prince Louis grew up. The baby was christened in a traditional shirt, in which all royal children undergo the ceremony. This lace and brocade shirt is a replica of the one in which Queen Victoria's daughter was christened in 1841.
But Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were unable to attend an important event. Fans speculate that the Queen is seriously ill. Moreover, a couple of weeks ago, a secret procedure was held in London to rehearse the funeral of the monarch.
The fact that the Crown Prince of England, the grandson of Elizabeth II William finally married, the whole world learned in the spring of 2011.
