Prince Charles and The Duchess of Cornwall to Visit USA Next Month

It was announced this morning that The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall will undertake a visit to the USA in March at the request of the British government. Charles and Camilla will visit this great nation March 17 – 20, to be exact, and make stops at our capital, Washington D.C. and Louisville, Kentucky (just under a 2 hour flight away).

It’s like, why don’t the royals just move here already? They caan’t get enough. Harry, William and Kate (+ one crumpet in the royal oven) – all in an official capacity in the last two years. Weddings, bachelor parties, c’mon guys, why are you so obsessed with us?

All jokes aside, it is wonderful to see another high ranking royal visit hit this side of the pond in such a short time span. The Oval Office hasn’t seen this much royal action probably ever – Prince William in December, his father in March.

According to the official release, the visit will heir Royal Highnesses will undertake various engagements promoting the UK’s partnership with the United States in areas such as sustainability and climate change, youth opportunities, corporate social responsibility and promoting historical and cultural links. That last one is perhaps my favorite, and the most mainstream, as the UK and US have always maintained a “special relationship” since well, we broke up a couple hundred years ago.

In particular, the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta is a highlight of not only the “special relationship” calendar year, but THR’s visit next month. The Prince of Wales will mark the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta during a visit to the National Archives where he will view the “Charters of Freedom” and the 1297 version of the Magna Carta, which is embodied in the American Bill of Rights and the Constitution. Magna Carta is not only a highlight on this side of the pond for 2015, but is being widely celebrated throughout Britain all year.

Looking forward to welcoming another royal duo to this side!

PS – I will not be covering the visit as I will be lounging on a beach in our furthest state – Hawaii. I know, you feel so awful for me.

14 Reasons to Love Prince Harry this Valentine’s Day

 

Let’s be honest, we love him 365 days of the year, but something about a mushy Hallmark holiday makes a girl want to love on Prince Harry even more. Even though I hate Valentine’s Day, I will never pass up an excuse to list out the reasons why Prince Harry is amazing. Don’t fight me on this, these are all 100% proven facts.

1. His red hair. He has a shade all his own. Not too bright, just right.
2. His freckles when he gets a little bit of sun.
3. His piercing eyes
4. The way he is with kids
5. The way he looks in a suit
6. The way he looks in a uniform
7. He’s funny
8. He loves his family
9. His devotion to Queen & country. Because it’s not enough to be a prince and spread the UK love across the world, he also went into battle to serve and protect.
10. He’s charitable
11. He’s a good dancer. I’m using the term “good” loosely here..
12. He’s sporty
13. He knows how to have fun
14. There is no one like him in the world. Others have tried, and failed miserably. There is only one Prince Harry. And he’s amazing.

Happy Valentine’s Day, Prince Charming. We love you. Or, at least I do.
