House of Windsor

Part 74

Dear Diary, 

This morning I played a quick game of tennis with Pippa before I sat off in my shady spot in the garden that I sat in there again. How much I wish Jack was here. I miss him so much. However, today as I didn't get to wear it for Trooping the Colour, I wore my yellow dress that Kate had bought me and she thought it was lovely. 

What's more we've developed quite a reputation with the papers. Michael brought us a copy as I sat with William and Kate in the shady spot I like with the fur throw. "By the way, we've developed some news" I said. "Have we?" William said unsurprised. "Mmm-hmm. According to the Daily Mail that Michael has just given us, we are all starting to turn dull" I confessed. 

"How?" Kate asked. I cleared my throat "The Cambridge Royals, haven't been doing any royal engagements for the past week and have been rarely seen around London" I read from the magazine. "We're not fans of the tabliods" Kate chuckled. "Why? They've recorded some of the best memories of your lives and they care millions about you" I told them. 

"Well they never make up their minds" William said. "What do you mean?" I asked. "Well if Kate and I were to go to a nightclub and we're wild and crazy, the tabliods would be putting all of this rage into their headlines and they'd be saying stuff like 'You need to settle down, you're royalty'! But if we did settle down and stay at home with you and George, then they say 'Live a little! Go to a club or something!' You see?" William asked. 

I understood. I've been in news several times but I'm not as famous at Kate and William. I mean Kate's been voted Best Hat Person of the Year once! 

Tomorrow night, I leave Bucklebury to go back to Kensington. I'm spending most of tomorrow with Maria learning some Italian and some Dutch too, (which in my opinion, is better than Swahili and is less complicated). But apart from that, I spent most of today with George out on the lawn before I headed back inside for dinner. 

Bucklebury Manor or Middleton Manor is gorgeous. It is a perfect place for William and Kate and George too. And me too. We all try to keep each other safe. This house and the Middletons can protect us. It's like a private world where no one can get to us. I mean think of George. He has been in the prying eyes and hands of the Press his whole life. And here is a place where he can be just a child. 

And what's more, with all the space, William and I were able to have a two player game of football. It was fun as I had William all over the place trying to get the ball as I kept kicking it the opposite way deliberately. Today was so fun. 

Yours.
