Denmark’s Royal Family attended the opening of the “Folketingets” parliament at Christiansborg Castle in Copenhagen on October 7, 2008. Although Queen Margrethe, unlike Britain’s Queen Elizabeth, doesn’t address the assembly during the opening session, it is traditional for the Danish royals to be in attendance.

Prince William and Prince Harry to Ride Across South Africa

Prince William and Prince Harry at the City Salute at London’s St Paul’s Cathedral in May 2008

Britain’s Prince William and Prince Harry will take part in a grueling 1000-mile motorcycle rally across South Africa’s Eastern Cape later this month.

The Enduro Africa 08 event aims to raise money for the UNICEF, Prince Harry’s Sentebale charity in Lesotho, and the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund. For 8 days, riders from all over the world will ride across some of the most rugged and isolated terrain in South Africa. There are no road signs throughout the route, which goes trough game reserves, tribal areas and wilderness. The riders will be using Honda CRF 230s motorcycles, which will be provided by the organizers.

Each participant needed to raise at least £4,995 in order to ride. Enduro Africa will donate a minimum of £1,500 per participant. In the past years, part of this donation consisted of the motorcycles used in the event. The charity Riders for Health provides motorcycles to health workers in Africa. In some areas, the motorcycles are the only means to deliver health care to people in need.

There will be two groups for this year’s Enduro Africa. The first group has already started their adventure. The princes will be in the second group that will leave for South Africa later this month.

Sentebale, also called The Princes’ Fund for Lesotho, was founded by Prince Harry and Lesotho’s Prince Seeiso to help orphans and vulnerable children who have had to deal with AIDS and poverty. Sentebale, which means “forget me not”, was named in honor of the princes’ mothers, who both worked with AIDS victims and orphans.

Kate Middleton Subtly Answers ‘Lack of Job’ Issue

Filed Under (Celebrity news, Merry Royals, entertainment news, latest news, movies) by admin on 02-10-2008

After months of talks and whispers about Kate Middleton’s seeming lack of a regular job, Prince William’s girlfriend and her family seemed to have addressed the issue directly yet very subtly.

On the front of the website of Party Pieces, the party supply company managed by Kate’s parents, there now appears a tiny photo of Kate, her mom Carole and a company employee. Here’s a screenshot from the company website:

Kate-Middleton-Party-Pieces

In a newsletter for October ‘08 on the company’s ‘About Us’ page, there is also a detailed description of Kate’s job:

Party Pieces launched First Birthdays at the beginning of the year with Kate managing the project and producing this year’s catalogues and website. First Birthdays is full of wonderful ideas from party decorations and tableware to keepsakes and personalized products for that very special First Birthday.

In putting this information out, Kate is letting the world know that she is being productive with her time and talents, without having to talk about it at all.

Working at her parent’s company could be the perfect situation for her now. She gets to help her parents and protect her privacy. Furthermore, she can’t be accused of using her royal connections to land employment benefits and she also has flexibility in her schedule.
