He is the youngest son of Prince Charles — next in line to the throne —and his beautiful mother Diana. Her untimely death in a car crash when he was just 12 years old scarred him deeply. Harry now admits to some turbulent years that led him into counselling to deal with her death. Having learned to deal with his own mental demons Prince Harry is very outspoken about mental health issues. He also supports a number of charitable causes including the Mildmay clinic for people living with HIV, with which Diana herself was very involved. And he was behind the creation of the Invictus Games, an annual multi-sport event for wounded and injured military personnel.

    Contents Title Page Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Chapter 10 Chapter 11 Chapter 12 Photo Section Copyright CHAPTER 1 On May 19th 2018, when Meghan Markle stepped out of the antique Rolls Royce conveying her and her mother Doria Ragland from the former Astor stately home Cliveden to St. George’s Chapel, Windsor, where she was due to be married at 12 noon, she was a veritable vision of loveliness. At that moment, one of the biggest names of the age was born. As the actress ascended the steps of St. George’s Chapel, its interior and exterior gorgeously decorated in the most lavish and tasteful spring flowers, she was a picture of demure and fetching modesty, stylish elegance, transparent joyousness, and radiant beauty. The simplicity of her white silk wedding dress, designed by Clare Waight Keller of Givenchy, with its bateau neckline, three-quarter length sleeves, and stark, unadorned but stunningly simple bodice and skirt, coupled with the extravagant veil, five metres long and three metres wide, heavily embroidered with two of her favourite flowers (wintersweet and California poppy, as well as the fifty three native flowers of the various Commonwealth countries, and symbolic crops of wheat, and a piece of the blue dress that the bride had worn on her first date with the groom), gave out a powerful message. All bridal gowns make statements. Diana, Princess of Wales, according to her friend Carolyn Pride, used hers to announce to the world, ‘Here I am.

  • On June 2, 1953, Queen Elizabeth II Was Crowned
    A Masonic Minute “To the Queen and the Craft” On June 2, 1953, Queen Elizabeth II was crowned “By the grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of her other realms and territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith “ with great pomp and ceremony in Westminster Abbey. ‘Her other realms’ includes Canada. It may justly be said that Her Majesty comes from a Masonic family. Her husband, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, was initiated in 1952, the year of her accession to the throne. Her father, King George VI was an active Freemason. As Prince Albert, Duke of York, he was initiated in 1919, Her great-grandfather, Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, son of Victoria and Albert, was initiated in Sweden in 1868, and served as Grand Master in England from 1874 until his accession as King Edward VII in 1901. Her grandfather, King George V, was not a Freemason, but three of his sons were: Edward, Prince of Wales, later King Edward VIII, Albert, Duke of York, later King George VI, and George, Duke of Kent. The Queen’s first cousin, H.R.H. Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, is the Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of England, serving in that office since 1967. The articles of union which joined the rival Grand Lodges, the Moderns and the Ancients in 1813 were signed by two Royal brothers, the Duke of Sussex and Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent as Grand Masters of the respective Grand Lodges The first member of the British royal family to be initiated in England was Frederick Lewis, Prince of Wales, in 1737.

  • Inverness, Earl Of
    Inverness – A Royal Tartan Introduction Although widely regarded as ‘District Tartan’ today, the Earl of Inverness tartan (Fig 1) was originally designed by Wilsons of Bannockburn as a personal one for King George III’s sixth son, Prince Augustus Frederick (1773–1843), created Duke of Sussex in 1801 and concurrently made Baron Arklow and Earl of Inverness. Fig 1. Earl of Inverness tartan. Early records The exact date of the tartan’s design is unknown but it was probably created c1810-15 in order that that the Prince could have his own ‘Highland Outfit’ made to re-enforce his Scottish title at the height of the Highland Revival era. Of the four known portraits of the Prince wearing the full tartan outfit, two originals and a copy remain, along with an additional engraving. An excerpt from the Collection Database of The Fishmongers’ Company details the history of the life size portrait that hangs in Fishmongers’ Hall, London Bridge. The portrait was originally commissioned by the Company (in conjunction with one of his brother, The Duke of Kent, in relation to the pair taking the Honorary Freedom of the Company on 11 April 1816). Both paintings were later directly purchased by the Company from the Estate of Sir William Beechey1, following the artist's death in 1839. The Dukes of Kent and Sussex, the two Liberal sons of King George III, were made Honorary Freemen of the Company in 1816. There were only two original paintings of the Duke of Sussex - one belonging to the Fishmongers' Company and the other to the Freemasons, which was unfortunately destroyed in a fire at Freemason's Hall in 1883.
