Beatrice Borromeo Pregnant

The Rumour Mill has been turning for a while now. What's the rumour? It's that Pierre Casiraghi and Beatrice Borromeo are expecting their first child early next year. Whilst The Princely Palace of Monaco has yet to confirm the news, it was quite clear at Monaco's National Day celebrations that Beatrice is VERY pregnant. 

The child will be 8th in line to the throne and will be the fourth grandchild for Princess Caroline of Monaco and Hanover. Princess Caroline already has two grandsons, Sacha Casiraghi (Andrea & Tatiana) and Raphael Elmaleh (Charlotte Casiraghi with her ex Gad Elmaleh) and a granddaughter India Casiraghi (Andrea & Tatiana). 

Lots of congratulations go out to Pierre & Beatrice and the whole royal family of Monaco. I hope everything goes well and look forward to seeing pictures of the new addition.


Happy National Day Monaco!!!



For those of you who logged in yesterday and read my 'What's Happening' post you would've learnt that Monaco celebrated it's National Day. We wish all the best to the Royal family of Monaco on their country's special day. I'm sure it was a perfect day. 

Now for your viewing pleasure here are some pictures from yesterday's celebrations:
















It was really lovely to see the whole royal family together (excepting Pauline Ducruet and Camille Gottlieb). It was especially beautiful to see the next generation, all the youngsters. Princess Caroline's grandchildren are adorable, and this was the first time we've really seen close ups of little India Casiraghi and Raphael Elmaleh.

Farewell Prince Mikasa

On the 27th of Octobet at 7:40am the oldest royal in the world passed away from heart failure. Takahito, Prince Mikasa was the uncle of current Japanese emperor, Emperor Akihito. He was 5th in line to the Chrysanthemum Throne. Prince Mikasa's funeral was held on the 4th of November.

Prince Mikasa had a long life, he died 2 months shy of his 101st birthday and just days after he hand his wife Yuriko celebrated their 75th anniversary. Together they raised five children and 9 grandchildren. Sadly both of them have outlived their three sons. 

With the death of Prince Mikasa only four people remain in line for the Japanese throne. The emperor's two sons, Naruhito and Fumihito, his only grandson Hisahito and the emperor's younger brother Masahito. 

We wish all the best to the Japanese Royal family during this difficult time. May his memory be a blessing.
