Summary

It felt like a very summery week this week, with the royals making the most of the sunshine at a series of fun engagements. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were at Wimbledon while Prince Charles and Camilla are enjoying a three-day trip to Wales. We talk about Kate’s latest photography commission, snapping some beautiful photos of her mother-in-law for a very special edition of Country Life magazine. Meanwhile the Queen gave a group of dog walkers the shock of their lives when she casually drove past them in Sandringham and Princess Beatrice suffered a very embarrassing moment at Glastonbury.
