It's a Boy for Pierre Casiraghi and Beatrice Borromeo!!!


A belated congratulations to Pierre Casiraghi and his wife Beatrice Borromeo on the birth of their baby boy. Pierre and Beatrice welcomed a son on 28th February of this year. They named him Stefano Ercole Carlo, his first name is a tribute to Pierre's late father.

Changes to Blog Format

Wow! It's been a while since I've written anything here. With a new full time job I just haven't had the time. So what I'm going to do is change the format. Instead of blogging everyday with 'what's Happening' I'll do a weekly round up feature. This means on a Sunday (Sydney time) I will do a round up of what's been happening in the lives of the Royals. Hopefully this will give me more time to write on my blog, but at the same time not be so time consuming.

Thanks
