Kate’s War Horse Dress is a Bridal Gown, Upcoming Appointments, Anniversary TV Specials

Hello, and happy almost-weekend. We wanted to share some update and other tidbits, perhaps the most interesting information is Kate and William’s upcoming appearances.

• This Wednesday, the 25th, the couple will attend the London premiere of African Cats, a documentary about lions and cheetahs on the African savannah. The function is a fundraiser for the Tusk Trust, I don’t know the specific time yet, but it is an evening affair. The event is at the National Film Theater in London, also known as BFI (British Film Institute) Southbank.

• Thursday the 26th Kate & William will attend a reception honoring the Scott-Amundsen Centenary Race to the South Pole, Prince William is a Patron, and the race raised funds for the British Legion.

• More on the Centenary Race and the Legion from Victoria Murphy’s story in The Mirror:

“They will honour the two serving British Army teams who raced 900 miles across Antarctica in 2011 and 2012 to pay homage to the extraordinary race to the South Pole between Captain Scott and Roald Amundsen a century ago.

The expedition raised funds for the British Legion’s £30 million commitment to help wounded and sick service people recover.

• Also on Thursday the 26th, Kate and William attend a reception at the Imperial War Museum. This event also honors an anniversary, the Museum is debuting its Centenary Commemorations. More from the IWM’s website:

“2014-2018 marks the centenary of the First World War, a landmark anniversary for Britain and the world. Working in collaboration with our peers and colleagues from national and international organisations, IWM will mark the centenary by leading a vibrant four-year programme of cultural activities across the UK.”

A busy schedule for the couple, the royal calendar becomes even more crowded as the Queen’s Jubilee approaches.
