I wish the Queen a happy 93rd birthday! She kind of looks like my Mamma in that last photo.
And I got Fish & Chips from BDE's quiz!
So.... no baby yet, eh?

Kensington Palace Breaks Silence on Report that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Are Planning an Africa Move
Kensington Palace remarks on story of plans to have PH and Meghan move to Africa. Brief and diplomatic, flattering to the Sussexes.
Given all the sophisticated PR happenings these days in the BRF, JMO, this means the first story in the Sunday Times was leaked by Harry & Meghan's PR team. Not surprising as that first article was somewhat unflattering towards the Cambridges, making William sound weak and unpopular. No one else would have advance information about such a decision within the royal family, so the leak had to come from them. Also explains the use of "rock stars" to describe their popularity
Why are Harry and Meghan saying such cruel things about everyone else in the BRF? Seems KP was probably willing to sit on this news for a while to avoid pressure on the Sussexes when they're expecting their first child. So why did they choose to leak the story themselves. JMO, I find the way the Sussexes instigate and pursue these PR wars to be very unsettling. I'm starting to get an "injustice collector" vibe from MM. JMO
This is starting to give me a headache. I feel badly for everyone involved. Such a mess. And it's not at all like Princess Diana, who was treated badly by her husband and his family before going to the press.
ETA: And why leak the story on Easter/the Queen's Birthday? That's just mean.

How else do you explain someone leaking such high level inside information? Some of the information was later verified by KP.
Not wanting to argue, but yeah, this particular trick seems very cruel. How can someone be dwelling on such negative things as they prepare for the birth of their first child?
Tweet from KP
Royal reporter Richard Palmer tweeted Sunday that the Palace is not denying a report that this move is a possibility.
Buckingham Palace is not denying a report that officials have discussed sending Harry and Meghan to Africa as a way of capitalising on their appeal to young people in the Commonwealth - and of putting further distance between them and the Cambridges.
— Richard Palmer (@RoyalReporter) April 21, 2019
Buckingham Palace: “Any future plans for The Duke and Duchess are speculative at this stage. No decisions have been taken about future roles.
“The Duke will continue to fulfill his role as Commonwealth Youth Ambassador.”

The Queen looks wonderful on her birthday. Happy Birthday Queen Elizabeth!!
IF PH and Meghan are moving to Africa, why did they have the Frogmore House (cottage, mansion) renovated??
ETA, Happy Easter all!

JMO, they had to split the two families because the wives don't get along. H&M probably don't like Frogmore and made a fuss about it after moving in. The news reports say they will still be living there a while, before a possible move to Africa next year. They seem to be running out of options, though MM would probably like the royal family to pay for them to live in the US or Canada.

Report states no decision has been made yet and speculative at this point according to links above. I don't see this as a big deal for them to spend some length of time in Africa if they choose. They both luv it there and the work they have done.

* Dixie sneaks in and puts a little bit of pink in the Queen's bouquet*
Love Kate's outfit. The other two dresses, not so much.
