Itinerary for Nottingham Visit, William Enjoys Boys Night Out + More

Hello Duchess Kate readers,
William and Kate will join the Queen for a visit to Nottingham on Wednesday as part of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee tour of the country. Huge numbers of people are expected to welcome the Royal party. Nottingham City Council Leader, Councillor Jon Collins said

'As the Capital of the East Midlands, it's great Nottingham's playing host to this Royal visit. I'm sure that local people will give the Royal party a warm welcome and will be excited about getting to see The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge as part of the Jubilee celebrations'.

It looks like it's going to be a very exciting visit. I should have a post ready as soon as photos emerge :)

William enjoyed a night out with his close friend Guy Pelly at a private members club in Mayfair.  Prince Harry recently joked William and Kate had become a middle-aged couple, preferring home cooked meals and DVDs in their Anglesey home than a night out on the town. Noticeably Kate was absent, possibly opting to have an early night as opposed to staying out late. I was struck by the number of negative comments. William is only 29 and entitled to relax with his friends. To view photos of William leaving the club pop over to the Daily Mail article.


Meanwhile, Kate is reportedly busy planning to throw William a 30th birthday party 'fit for a King'. She is thought to be discussing ideas with William's closest friends. Kate chose to celebrate her 30th with a low key family dinner. It will be interesting to see plans for William's come to fruition.
