Over the weekend there were viral rumors that the BBC has been on standby for an “extremely important” announcement from the Royal family “at any moment” in wake of the current health crisis.  The supposed deadline has come and gone twice without such an announcement.   Another variant of this rumor is that the annnoucnement would somehow address the line of successions. If something happens, we will of course bring it to you.

With much of the media now breaking ranks and sharing every odd rumor going around, one fun tweet commented on a photo in which one of Rose Hanbury’s children, Lord Oliver Cholmondeley was standing between William and Prince George.  Oliver is older than George and served as a page at the Coronation of King Charles.

Combine our first two news items and the rumor mill runs wild. Make of it what you will.

During a royal engagement in his country last week, the King of The Netherlands, King Willem-Alexander, took a humorous jab at KateGate.
While speaking to a group of children at the event, footage captured a moment where King Willem responded to a little girl's comment about having a photo with his entire family. His reply, infused with humor, was: "Really?... At least I didn't photoshop it," or something along those lines, we aren’t that fluent in Dutch.  The line sparked laughter among the attendees.
