Prince William makes promise to Princess Charlotte as he shares update on Kate’s health

The Platinum Jubilee Weekend exceeded expectations over four days of vibrant celebrations. The affection and respect for Queen Elizabeth II have never been higher, but alongside paying tribute to Her Majesty’s life of service there was much to discuss and digest. The Queen’s appearances were all the more appreciated for their brevity. The Prince of Wales’ representing his mother at Trooping the Colour was a further illustration of the change the monarchy is undergoing. The participation of the three Cambridge children was a joy to watch, with Prince Louis taking centre stage, brimming with spontaneity. Whilst the return of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, with their two children Archie and Lilibet, was an important family moment, Harry and Meghan’s sole appearance at St Paul’s Cathedral demonstrated that the posited reconciliation remains a difficult process.
