My favorite English family as
been out and about a lot this year. Here's a report of what they've
been up to...January 9 – The Duchess of Cambridge turns 32!
January - The search is on for a new nanny for Prince George! Jessie Webb, 71, came out of retirement to help at the beginning of his life, but it is now reported that her duties have come to an end. Rumor has it that the current nanny candidate is young and European.
January 25 - Kate takes Prince George on a Middleton family vacation to Mustique. The pair, along with Kate's brother James, fly commercial. Kate does not take a nanny. Reports say that this trip was to celebrate Carole Middleton's 59th birthday!
January 31 – Carole Middleton turns 59!

6 -
Princes Harry and William flew to southern Spain for some shooting.
They bagged wild boar and stag on their bro weekend.
While the princes
are off in Spain, Pippa Middleton attends the wedding of Arabella
Musgrave, Prince William's ex girlfriend. It has been widely reported
that Arabella was the only girl who could make Kate jealous.
February 14 - Kate makes a visit to Northolt High School in Ealing on behalf of her charity, The Art Room. She is wears an LK Bennett dress and what is said to be an "eternity ring" from Prince William. Was it a birthday or Valentine's gift?

February - The Queen has a custom t-shirt made for her great grandson, Prince George.
February 25 - Pippa Middleton speaks at the Women in Advertising and Communications dinner in London. Her speech included the now famous quote: “As I have found out, recognition has its upside, it's downside and - you may say - it's backside." Pippa also said of her 2011 bridesmaid's gown that she was "glad it fitted" at the time of the royal wedding, but added, "In retrospect, it fitted a little too well."
March 2 - An official announcement was made that, yes, Prince George will be going on his parents' tour of Australia and New Zealand in April!

March 6 - Will and Kate head to the Maldives for vacation, leaving Prince George in the care of Grandma and Grandpa Middleton.
