The Queen said in a statement: “On the occasion of World Health Day, I want to thank all those in the healthcare profession for your selfless commitment and diligence as you undertake vitally important roles to protect and improve the health and well-being of people across the Commonwealth, and across the world.”

“In testing times, we often observe that the best of the human spirit comes to the fore; the dedication to service of countless nurses, midwives and other health workers, in these most challenging of circumstances, is an example to us all.”

During The Visit, Melania Was A Great Hit With Chelsea Pensioners And Local Schoolchildren With Whom She Made Poppies. She Was Also Cheered On As She Played Bowls With The PM’s Husband Philip.

It Was A Beautiful Evening When President Trump And First Lady Melania Trump Joined Prime Minister Theresa May And Her Husband Philip At Blenheim Palace, And The Welcoming Ceremony Was Equally Beautiful. Both Theresa May And The First Lady Looked Lovely, And The Musical Arrangement Played By The Guards Was Exquisite, Including Liberty Fanfare, The National Emblem, And A Special Arrangement Of Dear Lord And Father Of Mankind With Amazing Grace.

The statement said: ‘The Duke and Duchess of Sussex would like to thank everyone who took part in the celebrations of their wedding on Saturday. They feel so lucky to have been able to share their day with all those gathered in Windsor and also all those who watched the wedding on television across the UK, Commonwealth, and around the world.

‘Their Royal Highnesses are delighted with these official portraits taken by Alexi Lubomirski and are happy to be able to share them today. They would also like to say thank you for all of the generous messages of support they have received’.

THE DUKE & DUCHESS OF SUSSEX KISS FOLLOWING THEIR WEDDING

SOME HAPPY & CANDID MOMENTS FROM THE BIG DAY

“THE NAME’S HARRY – PRINCE HARRY…”

THE DUKE & DUCHESS OF SUSSEX LEFT WINDSOR CASTLE IN A JAGUAR E-TYPE CONCEPT ZERO FOR THEIR EVENING WEDDING RECEPTION AT FROGMORE HOUSE. MEGHAN LOOKED STUNNING IN AN IVORY FITTED STELLA MCCARTNEY HALTER-NECKED GOWN, WHILST HER HANDSOME PRINCE OPENED THE CAR DOOR FOR HER IN ‘JAMES BOND-ESQUE’ ATTIRE & STYLE!

PRINCE HARRY & MEGHAN MARKLE HAVE BEEN BESTOWED THE TITLE OF THE DUKE & DUCHESS OF SUSSEX BY THE QUEEN.

THE DUCHESS OF SUSSEX WORE A CHIC AND EXQUISITE GOWN BY CLARE WAIGHT KELLER FOR GIVENCHY AND LOOKED EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL.

MEGHAN MARKLE AND HER MOTHER DORIA ARRIVED AT THEIR HOTEL FOR SOME PRECIOUS MOTHER-DAUGHTER TIME ON THE NIGHT BEFORE PRINCE HARRY AND MEGHAN’S WEDDING… WE ALWAYS KNOW THAT MEGHAN WILL LOOK BEAUTIFUL, BUT DOESN’T HER MOTHER LOOK EXQUISITE? (AND ALSO REALLY NICE!)

HAPPY CROWDS LINED THE STREETS OF WINDSOR WHERE PRINCE HARRY AND PRINCE WILLIAM WARMLY GREETED PEOPLE WITH HANDSHAKES AND THANKS FOR THEIR ATTENDANCE

IT WAS ANNOUNCED RECENTLY THAT PRINCE CHARLES WILL ACCOMPANY MEGHAN MARKLE DOWN A PROPORTION OF THE AISLE IN ST GEORGE’S CHAPEL TODAY, BUT NOT ‘GIVE HER AWAY.’

THE STATEMENT SAID THAT MEGHAN HAD ASKED PRINCE CHARLES TO ACCOMPANY HER ON SATURDAY, AND THAT “THE PRINCE OF WALES IS VERY PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO WELCOME MS MARKLE TO THE ROYAL FAMILY IN THIS WAY.”

IN AN ENORMOUSLY WELL THOUGHT-THROUGH AND SENSITIVE IDEA, MEGHAN WOULD BE ESCORTED BY THE BRIDESMAIDS AND PAGE BOYS AS SHE FIRST ENTERS THE CHURCH, UP UNTIL THE QUIRE, WHICH MARKS THE SECOND HALF OF THE AISLE, AND THEN PRINCE CHARLES WOULD ACCOMPANY HER FOR THE FINAL FEW STEPS.

THE CEREMONY WILL NOT INCLUDE THE TRADITIONAL MOMENT WHEN THE ARCHBISHOP ASKS “WHO GIVETH THIS WOMAN TO BE MARRIED TO THIS MAN?”  THEREBY, TAKING GREAT CARE TO CONSIDER THE FEELINGS OF MR MARKLE, IN VIEW OF THE FACT THAT HE IS UNABLE TO MAKE THE WEDDING DUE TO HIS CURRENT ILL-HEALTH.

THIS IS A NICE IDEA AS WE ALL KNOW THAT PRINCE CHARLES IS VERY CALM, SO IF MEGHAN IS FEELING NERVOUS, HE WILL PUT HER AT EASE.

MEGHAN’S MOTHER DORIA RAGLAND WILL BE ACCOMPANYING MEGHAN IN THE BRIDAL CAR.

DORIA ALSO MET THE QUEEN AND THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH THIS AFTERNOON,

AND HAS ALREADY MET PRINCE CHARLES, THE DUCHESS OF CORNWALL AND THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE.

ALSO, IT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED TODAY THAT THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH WILL BE ATTENDING THE WEDDING, HAVING SUCCESSFULLY RECOVERED FROM HIS RECENT HIP OPERATION!

Although Raining, A Thoroughly Good Time Was Seen To Be Had By All.  Also, Scroll Down, For Some Further Superb Images…!

The Duke of Edinburgh Looked Delighted To Greet The Royal Marines Recently (Of Which He Is Captain General) And Pay Tribute To Their Outstanding Achievements In The Royal Marines 1664 Global Challenge!

- Prince Philip attended the particularly poignant Parade at Buckingham Palace, which marked not only the finale of the Royal Marines 1664 Global Challenge, but also, the finale to Prince Philip’s own personal solo engagements.

Prince Philip spent much time with the Royal Marines congratulating them on their achievements, and when he was leaving, he waved his bowler hat, and the Royal Marines gave him three cheers!

Upon which, the Band of Her Majesty’s Royal Marines played “For He’s A Jolly Good Fellow” – and we have to say “and so say all of us!”  I predict many new Menswear Collections including bowler hats and mackintoshes next season…!

Prince Philip celebrated his 96th Birthday recently, and is the longest-serving consort in British history.  

He has carried out 22,200 Solo Engagements, travelled on Solo Overseas Engagements 637 times,

to 143 different Countries, and made 5,500 speeches!  

He has also written 14 books and has carried out his role as Patron for 785 organisations with extraordinary care and attention to detail.

But perhaps his most successful role has been the loyalty, vigour and steadfast support which he has given to the Queen.

It is said that Prince Philip has always “worn the trousers in the family”, so “The Queen can wear the Crown.”

The Queen has led the way, smiling, putting people at ease, and knowledgeably, and intuitively, finding common ground with everyone she meets,

whereas Prince Philip has been happy to follow observantly two steps behind, like a protective Lion, making conversation when he felt the need, and always after having carried out research on the subject in hand.  (And perhaps even ‘challenging’ those he meets sometimes on their own knowledge of said subject.)

Prince Philip is not known for his fondness of the media, (and photographer’s in particular), so if anyone was planning an interview with him, they would have to make sure that they have their facts straight, otherwise they would receive ‘short shrift’.

He is also well know for his ‘funnies’, which are great ‘ice-breakers’ and lighten many a situation, 

(especially when people have been waiting patiently in line to meet the Royals.)

During the special ceremony, Prince Philip, who is the Captain General of the Royal Marines, paid tribute to personnel who took part in the 1664 Global Challenge, which is a series of strength and endurance accomplishments which have raised awareness of the Royal Marines Charity.

Prince Philip’s association with the Royal Marines dates back to June 1953 when he succeeded his late father-in-law, King George VI, as Captain General. It was King George’s unexpected death, in February 1952 at the age of 56, that shortened Prince Philip’s own extremely promising career in the Royal Navy.

From that moment on he became the Queen’s consort, and has been happy to accompany her throughout her long reign, saying, “If The Queen wants me to be there, I will be.”

During Prince Philip’s final solo official engagement, he met Royal Marines who participated in the 1,664-mile running challenge, which began in Plymouth on 25 April. The Marines had to run for 16.64 miles a day for 100 days. Two have completed the entire distance. Others have taken part in extreme events, including swimming 34 miles underwater over 10 days and one company lifting more than 20,000 tonnes and running 10,000 miles!

There was a spectacular march past, and, from the palace forecourt, Prince Philip took the Royal Salute.

As the Duke of Edinburgh prepares to take it easy, perhaps he will have time to reflect on the superb job that he has done for this Country for the past 65 years, with his expert leadership as Patron to all his Charities, his ability to maintain a strong, guiding background presence to his family, modernising it, and keeping it in touch with the people, and his unwavering loyalty and support to The Queen.  It is reported that The Queen says of Prince Philip “He has been my Strength and Stay.”

He may be retiring from his solo engagements, but you can’t help but get the feeling that this might not stop him from making some future appearances, because as he said himself “If The Queen wants me to be there – I will be.”
