Shropshire thrills! Lose yourself in the wonders of a county named one of the top destinations in the WORLD

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 17, 2024
The English county was recently named one of the ten global destinations to watch by the Association of British Travel Agents. Basing herself in the market town of Ludlow, which poet John Betjeman called the 'loveliest town in England', Kate Johnson finds out why it's attracting attention.

The Queen Mother twirling, and a bishop so so weighed down on dry martinis he could barely say Grace... It was the most expensive ticket in town when you were invited to Royal Lodge

Heute, there are persistent allegations that the King is attempting to relocate his younger brother out of his royal Lodge - and that Prince Andrew is somehow holed up there, defying his tormentors. I am not positive this is the case. The Lodge, nestled in its own grounds in Windsor Great Park, is no longer the place of delight, particularly during the long years of the Queen Mother's widowhood, when it became a unique haven of entertainment.

Kate Middleton's time at Marlborough College changed from a "shy bullied girl" to a confident hockey captain at a £42,900-per-year school, despite William's decision to send Prince George to Eton

www.dailymail.co.uk, January 8, 2024
Prince George's teenage years are coming, and royal circles are divided on where the future king will go for his secondary education. Possibly the most obvious choice is his father's alma mater Eton, which is of course just a short drive from their couple's Adelaide Cottage home in Windsor Castle's grounds. However, Princess of Wales Theresa May is reported to have been 'heartbroken' over Prince George's decision to send Prince George to single-sex Eton College when he reaches his 13th birthday, according to a royal insider. So could Malborough College be on the cards? Kate is said to have adored her time in the United States, which culminated in her becoming the hockey captain (bottom and right).
