House of Windsor

Part 72

Dear Diary, 

Like there is usually, there is a lot of gossip going around. Mainly on Kate. I was at a magazine shop yesterday and there was lots of magazines boasting Kate was pregnant. Some say she is pregnant with twins and one said she was pregnant with another son. Of course I am hoping these are true but there has been a lot of things that have kind of turned down pregnancy rumours. For example, that trip to the distillery. 

When I left, all of the paparazzi had been at the windows and had seen me reading the magazines and were firing all of these questions at me. I didn't say anything. One thing I was taught by Mrs Neil, (who is also teaching me etiquette), was "Don't stop and talk to the paparazzi unless it is something you can confirm or know lots about". 

I didn't know lots about Kate's pregnancy or even if she was so I walked on. However the paparazzi and their horrible camera kept coming. Some of the questions were: 

"Are they having another baby?"

"Is it twins?" 

"Can you confirm this?" 

I just kept on walking and ignored them. When Mrs Neil told me to avoid the paparazzi, Kate was there and she added, "Don't stop and talk to them like normal people because then they'll expect an answer everytime". So I took it in. I didn't stop. Eventually, one of them called out: 

"Why are you dating Jack Kennedy? Are you moving to America to be with him?". "NO!" I shouted as I turned and got into the car. I fell onto my seat and when I got back I told Kate and William and they said I did the right thing. I went to my room and I am always scared around the paparazzi when I'm in a car, after what happened to Diana. 

However I have some more news on our schedule. In July I've already mentioned we're waving Chris Froome goodbye and we're going to Edinburgh, well on July 28th and 29th, we're going to Scotland again to watch the Commonwealth Games! I am so excited for that! 

In August, I only know of one engagement we have to do just now. On August 4th, we have to go to Mons, in Belgium. We will be representing the UK at a ceremony commemorating the cenetenary of World War I. I am looking forward to that. 

Then all of the other days, it is days off and days to enjoy Anmer Hall which is complete as you know when we went there for Michael and Carole's anniversary. So it will be a happy summer or to put my Italian into practise, sarà un'estate felice!

More later. 

Yours, Dayna 

PS: I've been thinking about the countries I've visited with the royals. Well, here's what I remember. I've been to: Scotland, Australia, America, France and New Zealand. And now Belgium in two months! It's been a ball in all of these countries and I love them all!
