A Wedding Gift From the Queen

A New Title for Prince William and Princess Catherine

They were introduced as the New Duke and Duchess of Cambridge after their marriage. Looking into this I found out that the Queen chooses an available Duke title. There were three that were considered; Duke of Clarence, Duke of Cambridge, or Duke of Sussex. Each one was looked at according to the last Duke to hold the title of that area.
The Queen discussed her choices with Prince William, he takes all the information in consideration and decided if one will fit into his lifestyle. In other words how he would like to be remembered and does it represent his views.
According to The Telegraph, Tim Ross pins;

He (Prince William) suggested that the Duke of Cambridge could be perfect. A previous Duke of Cambridge, Prince George, who died in 1904, is reputed to have believed passionately in true love, claiming that arranged marriages were “doomed to failure”.

The title is decided on by the Queen and given as a gift to the couple after the Marriage Ceremony. I do not think Prince William would know which one the Queen chose until the
Day of marriage. I can just think after the marriage ceremony the two go back to sign the documents and the Queen presents the Gift of Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. They could have rejected it. However they both accepted it and Now will be Known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

Now you know, why they were introduced as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge after they emerged from the signing of their Marriage documents.

Friday Questions- Your holiday fun?

We are at Norfolk Virginia now. My daughter and I drove down on Wednesday. Yesterday we went to the Botanical Gardens. Dad and I haven't been there for over 20 years. Last time we went it was called Azalea Gardens. It was really enjoyable. I posted some photos on my Auntie E On the Go Blog.
They have Eagles nesting there. So we we able to see the nest and chicks. We even got a eye view of the adult eagle. What a sight!

Our Easter Celebration will be spent with Dad. We will go to Church and then out to our favorite Easter Brunch. Walk along the beach and just enjoy our freedom from bondage and the wonderful earth our Lord has created. Easter is a time to remember the true sacrifice and release from the sin that kept us from Gods Presences. A time to hold close our families and friends, to share the good news of a Everlasting Life and a hope of a New Earth and Heaven to come upon Lord Jesus' Second Coming.

Until that time I will enjoy this Earth and its wonders. Happy Easter Y'all.

Friday Questions- What's your Cup of Tea?

Blogging is sometimes frustrating. I have been thinking about how to improve my sites. Trying to figure out what folks like to see on blogs can be tough. With so many different followers, one has to guess what will be of interest to folks. So, for today's questions I will ask.....

1. Do you like Photos or Articles?
2. Does Food blogs interest you?
3. Is seasonal information your cup of tea?
4. How about Current News interest, Is that on your eye catching list?
5. Or are you one that likes to see into the family life of the blogger?

Now for me I like Current New interest, food blogs, and if I find a blogger I relate to, I love reading the going ons with them. Photos bring life to a post and I do like reading articles.
