sadies-royal-smorgasbord asked: Are you guys actually back?
I will answer this publicly for the benefit of anyone else.
I don’t believe any of us have any plans to continue where we left off at the moment as it takes a lot of time and we post on other platforms individually.
But I’m sure if we feel the need to write a post in the future, we will. Just as I felt the need to contact ClassicCatherine about the claim about us on her blog.
Anonymous asked: Please may I just clarify something about the figures, each day worked could mean 1 engagement only or several on a particular day, is that correct?
That is correct.
Anonymous asked: Thanks for the info. Do these figures include foreign tours?
They do. They are counted from the Court Circular.
Here is the information regarding the number of engagements undertaken by the Duchess of Cornwall and the Countess of Wessex in the first and second years of marriage. Counted by days, not individual engagements.
We were unable to do a separate count for their patronage visits as the court circular was limiting in its information.
Sophie
Year 1: 45.
Year 2: 74.
Camilla
Year 1: 98.
Year 2: 111.
Anonymous asked: I seem to have gotten you blocked from the "Regal Majesty" tumblr because of some things that I have said regarding to the misleading answer of one of the questions on the "faq" page. I am sorry if this is of grievance to you.
Thank you for alerting us. We are terribly aggrieved. However, perhaps blocking anonymous queries would be more effective.
Anonymous asked: Can you do some research on Diana, Fergie, Sophie, and Camilla number of charitable patronages as well as their number of royal engagements for their first year, and then a separate count for their second year of marriage? Would really appreciate separate number for their charitable patronage and a separate number for their royal engagements. Thanks.
Hello, unfortunately the court circular does not include the engagements of Diana and Sarah Ferguson. However, we will research the other two and get back to you.
Kate’s work has been a bone of contention for many years now, here’s we’ll discuss the facts- as we know them. We’ll only be discussing work here, not anything to do with holidays or clubbing.
After graduating from St. Andrews in summer 2005 (2.1 in History of Art), Kate did… well not all that much that we know of work-wise.
Then, at the end of 2006 after supporting a couple of Jigsaw events, (see article for full story), Kate approached Belle Robinson for a part time job. Contrary to some stories about it being a favour for their good friends the Middletons, Robinson said she only met the Middletons four times (Carole helped set up the Jigsaw Junior website). You can read Robinson’s interview, where she talks about Kate’s role here
And you can read what a named source, Jigsaw employee, Phillip Higgs had to say about Kate’s work ethic here.
On the Prince of Wales website, however, they only mention Kate working with Jigsaw Junior, not Jigsaw http://www.princeofwales.gov.uk/personalprofiles/thedukeandduchessofcambridge/theduchessofcambridge/biography/index.html
In November 2007, Kate quit her job at Jigsaw. Many have said this was because of the pressures of the London press, which brings us nicely onto…
Party Pieces
Now what here exact role title was, we’re unsure of. However, the POW biography says her role included ‘catalogue design and production, marketing and photography’. It also says she set up the ‘First birthdays’ part of the business.
While there are one or two pictures floating around of her, the offices are in secluded barns, where those pesky paps would find hard to access.
In January 2011, it was reported that she’d quit her job to focus on the wedding.
Now, let us not forget that Kate is from a rich family. She’s not that far removed from other rich girls who can afford to work part time, party and holiday. She wasn’t the first woman and certainly won’t be that last, who came out of university without knowing what to do next.
Her family just so happened to have their own business, tucked away in the country, where Kate could work and hide from the world. Right or wrong, she was afforded that choice.
If she wanted a different job, if it was out of laziness or necessity that she didn’t have a high flying career is not something we’re ever likely to know.
But remember this… the girl has gone from working for the family business to … working for the ultimate family business. Something her new family can relate to?
Pip pip!

Anonymous asked: What she says (if you look at the context - and you should do this) is that Mid know about that and this is true!
We don’t know what the Middletons do or do not know. They have never talked about Uncle Gary.
This is a serious accusation. Gary Goldsmith is the black sheep of the family. He has been involved in drugs.
He has also had access to high-class escorts, but no accusations that he was their pimp, for lack of better term.
So, while Gary Goldsmith isn’t the most respectable person, he is most likely not involved in the prostitution of under age girls. Also, there is no mention in any of these articles that the Middletons are connected to these activities.
Hello, I was wondering if you guys could look into this? I found this today and first, is RM saying the the Middleton family sold underage girls for sex? and second, could you look into the truth regarding this when you have some time? I know about the cocaine/uncle thing and that’s whatever because you can’t pick your family but this underage sex thing is new to me. I’m interested in reading about it, even if it is true. Thanks! :)
Anonymous asked: So according to RM/TR William is in Kenya without Kate. And they are using Harry as a scape goat to cover up William's trip. That's funny because I just read a story that William & his crew rescued a woman with a broken leg yesterday in Wales.
William isn’t in Kenya. I don’t think William has been in Kenya since 2010, and we know Kate was there with him on that trip. He doesn’t have an annual trip there. He went to Kenya for Jecca Craig brother’s wedding in 2008. He did miss his cousin Peter Phillips’ wedding, and Kate did go to Peter’s wedding in his place. If he did go once a year, there would be more articles on the subject. There are no articles of him being there in 2009.
He did save someone on Monday. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/entertainment/2012/08/prince-william-rescues-injured-hiker-in-wales/
So currently, William and Kate are either in London, Wales, or Scotland. There has been no proof on where though. There would be articles if William left the country even during Harry’s picture scandal. We all know William gets caught every time he tries to go somewhere. People would have seen him at the airport.
