Kate Middleton becomes guest editor of the Huffington Post
After a very special holiday season with her family, the Duchess of Cambridge, nee Kate Middleton, will continue her work to help children. As part of these efforts, Kate will be editor-in-chief of the British edition of the Huffington Post for a day in mid-February, according to which the Royal House announced. On that date, as yet undetermined, Middleton will write and coordinate articles to generate greater awareness of the mental health of young people. The news portal Huffington Post, created in 2005, has editions in the United States, France, UK, Spain, Italy, Japan, Canada, Brazil, Germany, South Korea, North Africa and Greece.
The wife of Prince William has made this issue a “key element of her work in recent years,” said a spokesman from Kensington Palace. She is pleased to have the Huffington Post’s help to underline the importance of this issue, he added. He said that Middleton “asked contributions to a number of experts in the field of mental health and youth, parents and teachers”. According to what has been said, Kate will focus on the inspiring work done by parents, teachers, researchers and professionals in the UK on issues of mental health.
Since she became mother of Prince George and Princess Charlotte, the Duchess has increased her efforts in that area. Just before Christmas, Kate visited the Anna Freud Centre, which helps children with serious behavioral problems. There, Kate joined to a fun Christmas concert drumming, event through which children celebrated the season. Also, she accompanied Prince William and was also part of ICAP Charity Day center, where both became collectors at the telephone for several hours. The money collected will go to Place2Be, one of Kate programs providing counseling to children in their schools.
By February, Prince George will be already accustomed to his new life in the nursery (which began on January 6), allowing his mother pay more attention to her social duties, something that has become very important to her. The two-year-old little boy attends Westacre Montessori school in the village of East Walton in Norfolk, near his home in Anmer Hall. A source revealed that George had a wonderful first school day and “everything was fine” after his parents left him in the school gate.

Prince George celebrates his second birthday privately at Anmer Hall
The eldest son of the Duke of Cambridge, Prince George, will held tomorrow his second year of life with a discreet party to be held at his residence in Anmer Hall (Norfolk), to be attended by family, friends and the latest addition to the family, princess Charlotte of Cambridge, born two months ago.
George’s maternal grandparents, Michael and Carole Middleton will attend the celebration, which was organized by the boy’s mother, Catalina, and will be responsible for carrying the birthday cake, reports the Daily Mail. However, the paternal grandparents of George, Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, are not likely to attend the event because they are currently on an official visit to southwest England.
The press office of the Dukes of Cambridge is blunt about Prince George celebrating his second birthday on July 22. In their own words, it is private and therefore not provided any information, repeated ad nauseam. It is not known whether the father of the child will attend the “low key” (of little relevance) celebration, according to some media, which is being prepared by the mother of the little prince, Kate Middleton.
But what has been officially confirmed is that the Royal Mint will produce 7,500 coins of 5 pounds (not for circulation) with the image of the legend of Saint George slaying the dragon in honor of the second anniversary of the future King George VII, who came to world two years ago in the private part of St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, London. There, in the hospital, it also was one of his last appearances, with his father to visit his sister, Charlotte, newly born last May 2.
The choice of the design of Saint George to honor the birthday of Prince George was explained as follows: the name of George has always had links with the British monarchy and its currency have been six kings by that name during the 1,000-year history of the Royal Mint. The choice of a silver coin of 5 pounds is significant also because the tradition of crossing the palm of a newborn baby with silver is a form of wealth and wish him good health throughout his lives, as said by Shane Bissett, director of commemorative coin from the Royal Mint, which will be limited, purchasable edition at a price of 80 pounds and 7,500 copies.
