The Royal Baby

Prince William and Kate Middleton became parents with the birth of their first child on 22 July 2013, when their son Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge was born at 4.24pm weighing 8lbs 6oz.

Royal infants usually have historical names which are passed down through the generations. George is named after his great-great-grandfather King George VI, the Queen's father.

William and Kate may well need nannies to help with the care of their child while they fulfil their royal duties, but the royal couple are determined to be hands-on and fully involved in Prince George's upbringing.

Although he will undoubtedly grow up in the limelight, other members of the British family have said that William and Kate will know how to protect their child.

The Royal Wedding

Is there a better topic for an English lesson this week than the royal wedding?

I don't think so. The ideas how you can discuss this event are endless. From family relations to dresses, there are countless things worth talking about.

I've collected some photographs with interesting facts and vocabulary. Enjoy it. Fashion blogs are also popular anyway:)

The royal couple: Prince William and Kate Middleton. While her wedding dress was designed by Sarah Burton, she had a DIY make-up! (DIY=Do it yourself.)

Kate's sister is holding her train! Its length is about 9 feet or 2 metres 70 cm. (1 foot = 0.3048 metres)

Kate's mother, Carole Middleton; Queen Elizabeth II and William's stepmother, Camilla were all wearing coat dresses in pale colours: sky-blue, canary yellow and champagne colour.

Page boys and little bridesmaids are important participants of all royal weddings. You can spot the inevitable ballerina shoes on the girls and lily-of-the-valley hair wreaths.

David Beckham's Ralph Lauren suit was stunning. Victoria is pregnant, she was wearing a dress of her own design and extremely high heels.
