In the aftermath of her Sapphire Jubilee at Sandringham, Queen Elizabeth II is back in London.

After a long winter break at Sandringham Castle. After celebrating her 65th anniversary her accession to the British throne and of the death of her father, King George VI, Queen Elizabeth II is back in the capital. After seven weeks at her family estate in Norfolk, the Royal grandmother took the train at 10:54 a.m this Tuesday, February 7th 2017 at the King's Lynn's station, for a 90 minutes journey to King's Cross Station in London.

Arriving a few minutes before the departure, the 90-year-old sovereign was not accompanied by her husband Prince Philip. To travel, she had chosen to wear a green coat, on a dress of the same tone. She had protected her hair in a scarf tied. The scarf was in white, it was decorated with motifs evoking the seabed, between exotic fish, corals and colored plants. But as soon as she was seated in the wagon, she withdrew it.


The "Eastern Daily Press" points out that "a first-class car on the train Thameslink Great Northern was reserved for the monarch, who is believed to have bought a standard first class ticket to 56.10 pounds Trip '. This regional media broadcast in Norfolk also states that the station manager, who escorted her from the platform to the train, said they had exchanged jokes and talked about the weather.

Usually it was by this same train that Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, joined their castle of Sandringham a few days before Christmas. However this year, due to a strong flu that affected them both, the royal couple had to resolve to break with the tradition and had embarked on December 21, 2016 aboard a helicopter.

This August 31st 2017 it will be just 20 years since the people princess Lady Diana passed away in a car crash in the Pont de l'Alma in Paris. If it is still unclear how this sad anniversary will be commemorated, including her two sons Princes William and Harry, however the Spencer family has just announced that it would restore her memorial.

Divorced from Prince Charles, the late Princess of Wales was buried on September 6th 1997 on the Spencer family property where she rests on an island on the lake "Round Oval" Castle Althorp Park. Located between Birmingham and Cambridge in Northamptonshire, this area belongs to Spencer since the sixteenth century. The public has access to the site since 1937, when Count Albert Spencer, the grandfather of Diana, decided to open the doors for financial reasons. However visitors can not approach the tomb of Lady Di. They must be content, from the shores of the lake to see the island on which stands a bronze urn. And they can pray before a shrine erected to his memory in the park.

In the summer of 2014, Darren McGrady, former chef of Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana and her son, had rebelled about the lack of maintenance of the burial of the young woman disappeared in just 36 years. Posting a photo on his Twitter account, he said: "If I took care of Princess Diana during her lifetime as you do after her death, I would have been fired." "Please look after the vegetation of the island. Prove you want Princess Diana sits there for love and not just to make money. " He was countered him at the time that the place was well maintained and it was just seaweed that had spread because of the heat.

However, in spring 2016, the family of Diana reported that a restoration would be committed. A spokesman of the Spencer family has said in effect, according to comments reported by the "Daily Mail": "The Round Oval where Diana, Princess of Wales, is based undergone an extensive redesign to honor his memory. This will be completed for the 20th anniversary of his death in August 2017 ".

Duchess Catherine was out this Wednesday, May 4th. The Duchess of Cambridge had three appointments on its agenda. If the first had contact with children, where she found herself face to face with a rather impressive plastic dragon. The plastic and clay molten animal is amongst one of the attractions of the "Magic Garden", a new playground that she inaugurated at the gardens of Hampton Court Palace, southwest of London. The garden has been designed by the award-winning landscape architect of RHS Chelsea, Robert Myers and is built in King Henry VIII’s former tiltyard (a courtyard used for jousting practice and tournaments). It draws inspiration from the Tudor Court, allowing youngsters to learn about Hampton Court’s history while they play. Very interested in this big beast that was filled with young children play, the young 34 year old woman stooped to look more closely at her wide open mouth. And did not fail to entrust two girls of 8 years who were there, according to comments reported by the "Daily Mail", she thought her son George, aged 2 years and 9 months, would have had "a little scared" of this dragon. The little prince might be more appreciated those adorning, among flowers and golden lilies, the amazing cake made for the occasion.

Duchess Catherine who was wearing her blue twill Michael Kors swing coat wore underneath it was a gray sleeveless 'Peridot' Shift Dress created by Serbian designer installed in the English capital Roksanda Ilincic, on her feet were her faithful LK Bennett 'Fern' trench leather pumps and LK Bennett 'Nina' clutch, accessorized with her Mappin & Webb 'Empress' earrings and necklace.

 She unveiled later in the day, when she attended her second appointment: a reception for lunch at the Anna Freud Centre in London, its main mission statement as part of its commitment to youth mental health .
