We are back with a preview of the King’s Cup this Friday this Thursday and a refresher on some of Kate’s nautical styles. First, the King’s Cup. Many will remember when the Duke and Duchess announced the event in May.

It was a bright, sunlit Easter day at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor this morning as members of the royal family gathered for services. 
We are back for a couple of quick newsbytes. We’ll start with an update to Kate’s Calendar:
- Sunday, April 21: There’s no guarantee we’ll see Kate at Easter Sunday services this year, as the Palace does not release that information ahead of time for personal events. However, I think it is likely the Duke and Duchess will attend the Easter Mattins service at St. George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle. Not only have they attended the last two years (2017 here and 2018 here), it is the Queen’s 93rd birthday on Sunday.
- Thursday, April 25: The Duchess will attend the annual ANZAC Day service at Westminster Abbey. The event begins at noon local time, 7am EDT/4am PDT.
Below, the Duke and Duchess at ANZAC Day services in 2014; on the left, at the national service, and on the right, at the dawn service. Both events were at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.
We are back with a few newsbytes and another poll covering Kate’s maternity style.
Our first item is about Prince Philip. He has been struggling with hip problems, and even missed some engagements because of the ongoing problem. He was hospitalized Tuesday, and Buckingham Palace says he has had a successful hip replacement and that the surgery was a planned procedure. This photo shows the Duke and HM, it is one of three commemorating the couple’s platinum wedding anniversary.
A Buckingham Palace news release says the Duke is “progressing satisfactorily at this early stage. His Royal Highness is likely to remain in hospital for several days. He is comfortable and in good spirits.”
