The trip comes just before the royal children return to school next week. On social media, they wished Team GB athletes good luck at the Paris Paralympics. Despite being avid sports fans, the couple did not attend the games, but instead took part in a video congratulating the athletes on their achievements. William and Catherine have been seen as the future of the royal family since their marriage. William is the direct heir to the throne and his wife, Princess Catherine, also plays a key role.

In fact, she is third in royal power behind William and King Charles. Her absence from royal duties for six months has highlighted how important she is, without whom the royal family would lack charm. People even described the recent Trooping the Colour event as the best day since the coronation, thanks in large part to Catherine’s presence. The royal family has released the annual report of the Duchy of Cornwall, detailing the financial activities of Prince William and Catherine from March 2023 to March 2024.

Although the Prince and Princess of Wales do not receive a traditional salary for their roles, the Duchy covers all their expenses. Remember when the princess attended the Wimbledon men’s final two weeks ago? Since then, she and her husband have earned nearly $1.6 million. Catherine's annual income suggests that while some things are priceless, such as happiness and health, her value as a "really good princess" is significant.

King Charles' recent decision to part ways with designer Annabelle Elliot marks a significant change. Elliott began working with the royal family when Charles was still the Duke of Cornwall after marrying Camilla in 2005. William's friends were not surprised by the change. The duchy is now run by William, having previously belonged to Charles. King Charles, who wants a streamlined royal family, has approved a reorganization plan proposed by William and Catherine, which focuses on three key elements to increase relevance and ensure stability.

If the name Van Custom sounds familiar, it's because his family is often associated with royal life. His father, Hugh Van Custom, was a friend of Charles's and died in 2013. Van Custom Jr., known to friends as VC, was a licensed surveyor who built a successful career in real estate and investment. However, he is best known for his close ties to the British royal family, including being Prince George's godfather and William's childhood friend.
