Kate Middleton visits St Andrew's Prep school, Which She Attended from Age Four to 13

The Duchess of Cambridge loved her prep school so much that when she left, aged 13, she vowed to return as a teacher.

Life had other plans for the young girl – who went on to marry a Prince and become the future Queen of Britain – but Kate was delighted to return to St Andrew's on Friday.

Prince William's wife was invited back to the facility, in Pangbourne, Berkshire, to celebrate St Andrew's Day with pupils and staff.


She opened a new hockey pitch - and tested out the surface herself - before giving a speech in which she described the nine years she spent there as the "happiest years of my life".

The Queen Visits Bristol as Part of Jubilee Tour

The Queen visited Bailey Caravan Factory in the city's southwestern town, Ashton Vale.

Taking time to explore some of the latest motorhomes, even enjoying a short ride in one, Queen Elizabeth was shown around by Bailey's managing director Nick Howard.

Prompted by their want to see manufacturing businesses in the city the royal couple also perused some caravans that were still under construction.



Visiting in 1958 was one of her most memorable trips. The Queen was given the honour of making the first ever directly dialed long-distance phone call in the UK.

Prior to her Majesty's call from Bristol's Central Telephone Exchange to the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, members of the public had to be connected by an operator.

Her Royal Highness' call to Scotland, the greatest distance a person could make on the new system, lasted for two minutes and five seconds and cost around nine pence.

Like any other serviceman away on operations Prince Harry, an Apache co-pilot gunner, rung his father to presumably catch up with family life and let everyone know he is doing well.

Prince William and Kate Looking to Expand Their Public Relations Office

In September, it was revealed that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge had personally chosen former BBC producer Ed Perkins as their new press secretary during a staff reshuffle.

Now, Prince William is looking for another press officer to bring his team up to three people.

The move will fuel speculation that the Duke is preparing to take on more royal duties and wind down the amount of time spent on duty as a search and rescue pilot based at RAF Valley, Anglesey.

 Despite the pilot prince's passion for his work, his destiny as future King becomes ever more pressing – particularly since Kate has flourished in her own role since their 2011 nuptials.

Now, intense interest is generated by the couple's every move, prompting the Duke and Duchess to beef up their team and bring in an experienced journalist to handle their colossal profile. Click link for full post from Hello Magazine.
