Prince William and His iPhone

Obviously, the biggest news of last week was the Scottish Referendum. Scotland voted "NO", which means that they won't become an independent nation, and they'll still be a part of the United Kingdom, and the Union Jack will be the same, and the Queen will still be the Queen of Scotland as well, and everything will just go back to the way it was.

So what was the point of getting Bob Hale on the One Show?

Another thing that happened last week was that Prince Harry, future fifth in line to the throne, turned 30. Happy 30 years and one week birthday, Your Highness!

To mark the occasion, The Mirror put together a list of thirty of his best quotes over the years. I personally found it rather touching, especially the parts where Harry speaks about his mother's death. Click on this sentence to read it.

Speaking of Prince Harry and that particular article from The Mirror, The Invictus Games is another thing that happened. Harry was the one who spearheaded the entire event, and it was a spectacular success. I didn't watch it, of course, because I don't like to watch sports, but I did read about it and see the pictures on Twitter. Some are of the opinion that the Games are the finest thing that Harry will ever achieve. Perhaps, but I think that Harry will be able to do a lot more for his country. More than William anyway. I want to draw a comparison to erstwhile royals, but the only ones I can think of is the Black Prince (Edward, Prince of Wales, the eldest son of King Edward III) and the Duke of Lancaster (John of Gaunt, the third son of the same King), and that is just an awful comparison, because Edward died young, and his son Richard (King Richard II) was just an awful King, and the Cousins War and everything.

No. I'll just stop at saying that Prince Harry will be a good son, a good brother, a good uncle and a good Prince. (Though never a King. Sorry, Harry)

Anyway, I digress. Apart from Prince Harry, Princes Charles and William were also at the Invictus Games (but not Kate, because she's feeling poorly, and not George, because he's a baby. But here are some sweet pictures of him in the park with his nanny). This is a photograph taken of them:


Look at what Prince William is holding!


His iPhone!

If you have been a loyal reader of my blog (Haha, as if!), you might remember a post I wrote almost exactly a year ago, about the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's first engagement since Prince George's birth, in which I commented on Prince William owning an iPhone. And here is a picture of the famed gadget. I see William hasn't stopped letting people know he has an iPhone


iPhone owning Prince William was also in Malta this weekend in place of wife, Catherine. I felt a little bad for him; he knew that the people were expecting a pretty Duchess, not a balding Duke, and so he kept apologising for being there. Well, better him than no one, people of Malta!
He also promised to come back with Catherine and George someday. And the new baby, I would think! Or has everyone but me forgotten about him/her?

Oh, and by the way, as far as baby gender and names go, my bet is on a boy called James. So, if you read an announcement in March or April or May saying that the Duchess of Cambridge has been safely delivered of a boy, and then another one a few days later saying something something Prince James of Cambridge, remember, you saw it here first.
