When the Duchess of Sussex claimed that she spends her time Googling small and up-and-coming designers to put them in the global spotlight and boost sales, she raised eyebrows amongst royal watchers. While she undoubtedly can be credited with putting the British brand Strathberry on the map, she often chose to wear high-end - and expensive - designer labels such as Givenchy, Dior and Oscar de la Renta on official engagements. And, certainly, she is not the only member of the Royal Family to propel British brands to success: many labels attribute their sales boosts to the royal seal of approval.
Revealed: Kate's tragic ancestor who paid with her life for passion that touched every generation of her family - including the Princess of Wales

It was a tragedy that made national newspaper headlines. At 3pm on April 17, in the year 1900, a 19-year-old holidaymaker was swept from the rocks off the coast of Filey, a North Yorkshire seaside town popular for its sandy beaches and rugged cliffs. Despite the frantic efforts of friends, the teenager, Margaret Middleton, drowned in the roiling sea and her body was never found. What did wash up on the shore a few days later was her camera. Margaret's death devastated her family, but it did not deter them from the art of photography. Her brothers, Noel and William, and her nephew, Peter, were all keen amateurs. Today, so too is her great-nephew Michael Middleton... and Michael's daughter Kate, the Princess of Wales.

AMANDA PLATELL: So sad Harry was missing in action on this most solemn day - I imagine he's wondering whether his decision to shun so much of what he loves was worth it

Prince William spoke for us all when he said at the D-Day events: 'It's almost impossible to grasp the courage it would have taken to run into the fury of battle that day.' At the deeply moving commemoration, William was wearing a clutch of medals and standing alongside world leaders, in place of his father King Charles who has had to ration his appearances because of his cancer treatment. A moment to remember, as the baton was temporarily passed from father to son. And one that brought home to us Prince Harry's absence more than ever. How must Harry have felt observing the proceedings from the seclusion of his Californian mansion while his wife Meghan flogs jam for a living? After all, Harry was the one the veterans loved, his natural camaraderie making it easy for him to joke and laugh with them. Unlike William, Harry knows what it is like to see active service and understands in part what these brave soldiers have been through. He, too, would have been proudly sporting his medals on this most momentous of days, had he not shattered his ties with his homeland, declaring war on his family in his memoir Spare. Yet I couldn't see a single post about the 80th anniversary of D-Day on the Sussexes' website.

Marrying into royalty generally means putting an end to a life of unveiling plaques and smiling happily on state visits. So it's easy to forget that some royal women had a long line before they left it all up for charity work and raising their families. These women have a diverse academic reputation and career accomplishments, from Queen Mathilde of Belgium, a former speech therapist with a master's degree in psychology, to Queen Maxima of The Netherlands, who has held high-profile positions at major banks. But how do our own royal family, including former PR consultant Sophie Wessex and Kate, who worked part time for Jigsaw, measure up?
