The Countess of Wessex’s blog about her amazing fundraising ride from Edinburgh to London is a great read that you shouldn’t miss (British Royal Family)

Excellent feature (with photos and considerable video) on Prince William’s work, work environment and colleagues (BBC)

And speaking of the Cambridges- they are due to arrive in my part of the world this afternoon. Here is their detailed itinerary for the coming week (Government of Canada). Before you get your hopes us- this will be a fairly informal tour and I don’t expect to see Kate in anything more formal that a fishing hat.
