Royal

Britain's Prince William has unveiled a treaty that he believes will be a "game changer in the race against extinction".
The 33-year-old royal thanked guests who attended the United for Wildlife Transport Taskforce declaration signing for their "passion" in "developing this plan to fight criminal traffickers".
Speaking at the event, he said: "I asked you [Lord Hague] to bring together an international group of leaders from the transportation, customs and conservation sectors to develop a plan of action to crack down on trafficking routes. That we are here today signing such a plan in this historic room is a testament, William, to your skill, commitment, and energy.
"And to Tony and all of you who are about to sign this declaration, can I also say thank you. You have given us your time, your expertise, and your passion to develop this plan to fight criminal traffickers.
"From an original group of 12 members, today 40 leaders representing hundreds of organisations will commit to this ambitious declaration. All of you have my greatest thanks."
The father-of-two also warned of "hard work" ahead but praised the signatories for "really stepping up to the plate".
He added: "Now, while I am hugely grateful for all that you have done, I am afraid the hard work is actually still in front of us. If we are to prove that the transportation industry and customs agencies are really stepping up to the plate, we have to quickly implement the commitments we are agreeing today."

Britain's Prince William wants his children to visit Africa.
The 33-year-old royal would love for his two-year-old son Prince George and ten-month-old daughter Princess Charlotte to experience the natural wildlife of the country but joked his son would look like "a bit of a bum ... with his bangles and his sandals".
He said: "I'd definitely like to see George and Charlotte in Africa, they'd have a wonderful time.
"I can see George being a bit of a bum sometimes out in the conservation world with his bangles and his sandals. But I think I'd love them to be interested in the subject and pursue the same sort of ideas and aims that I am."
Meanwhile, the father-of-two also hit back at claims he is work-shy, insisting critics are just a "part of the job".
He added: "Well, these sorts of things take a lot of time, they take a lot of planning and a lot of knowledge building, a lot of conversations. I didn't want to get to 45 or 50 and sit back and say I could have said something about that issue but I didn't because I worried about what people thought or what people said."
When pressed further on the issue, he told ITV News: "It's part of the job."

Britain's Duchess of York is a "global mother".
The 56-year-old royal - who has two children, Princess Eugenie, 25, and Princess Beatrice, 27, with her former husband Prince Andrew, the Duke of York - insists she is a mother to all children whatever "race, creed or colour".
Speaking at Starlite children's charity gala in Mexico City, she said: "I've been all over the world, I've met many people; I'm very lucky. But I've never met someone like him - Antonio Banderas.
"I'm a global mother who has two beautiful girls. We believe in family unity; that there should be no race, creed, colour or any other denomination. It's from the heart and my job is to get out there as a global mother."
The Duchess also praised her children and ex-husband for their philanthropic ways and spoke of her "passion" for charity work.
In an interview with HOLA TV!, she added: "My children are very good; they work very hard with philanthropic matters. My ex-husband Prince Andrew does a lot for charity. This [the event] is a good example of how we can all get together to support children.
"I do not regret anything I have done. Philanthropy is my passion. The work I've done for the world is growing and yes, it is something I would like to do for life."

Britain's Duke of Cambridge believes the world has five years to save the rhino.
The 33-year-old royal insists there is not much time left to prevent the "incredible" creatures from going into extinction.
Speaking to ITV News, he shared: "In the next five to ten years if there's not a massive change, a dramatic change, in the way we appreciate and protect these iconic species in Africa, there won't be these incredible animals there, which not only is obviously sad for future generations but I think it would be incredibly devastating for humanity itself when we have sat back and we have lost something we have been responsible for.
"If we haven't achieved something in the next five to ten years then it will be almost impossible to do anything after that. Because the numbers will be so depleted the damage will be done so badly and clearly the demand won't have been halted."
Meanwhile, Prince William previously raised his concerns about the chance of his children - Princess Charlotte, ten months, and Prince George, two - ever seeing a wild elephant.
He explained: "We have to accept the truth: that consumers are driving the demand for animal body parts, for art, for trinkets, or for medicine. Only we as consumers can put the wildlife traffickers out of business.
"It is time to talk about the growing human demand for illegal wildlife products that drives the trade and makes it profitable. The good news is that we are far from powerless in this struggle. We can turn the tide of extinction."

Britain's Prince Charles spoke of the beauty of Croatia as he addressed guests at a dinner hosted by The President of Croatia.
The 67-year-old royal and his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, were invited to a formal dinner ahead of their five-day tour of the Western Balkans.
Speaking at the event, he said: "Madam President, I am enormously grateful to you for your very kind words on such a special occasion and I'm so grateful to you for arranging such a special dinner this evening.
"The last two times I have visited Croatia the country was at war and just recovering from war. This afternoon I have seen something of Zagreb and I can't tell you how wonderful it is to see how this beautiful city has been so sensitively restored. There could be no better illustration of the extraordinary progress you have made in the past twenty years against so many difficult challenges."
The Prince of Wales also expressed his excitement for the rest of their tour as he offered their host "continuing peace and prosperity" for her country.
He added: "Tomorrow my wife and I greatly look forward to visiting Osijek. I will have the opportunity to meet religious and community leaders and to learn about how they are working together following the peaceful reintegration of Eastern Slavonia into Croatia.
"Croatia has made so much of the opportunities that peace has given. So, Madam President, may I just take this opportunity to congratulate Croatia on its achievements and may I wish you all continuing peace and prosperity. As well as wishing that the relations between our two countries go on from strength to strength in the years ahead, as I'm sure they will."

Britain's Princess Charlotte is keeping her older brother "in check".
The Duchess of Cambridge has revealed her two-year-old son Prince George spends his days riding "super fast" on his scooter but his 10-month-old sister is looking after him.
Speaking to a group of school children outside Westminster Abbey, she said: "He's got a scooter. He's going super fast on it. It's hard to keep up with him! ...
"Charlotte is getting bigger by the day. She's keeping him in check‎."
Meanwhile, the Prince is a big fan of wheels and was recently gifted his own miniature tractor to use whilst the family spend time in their country retreat of Anmer Hall, Norfolk.
He has become obsessed with tractors, combine harvesters and anything with "big wheels" and is also developing a love of helicopters like his father.
Of the Duchess, Mountain Rescue volunteer Pauline Hallett previously revealed: "Catherine said he asks her about all the parts. She laughed and said she tells George to ask Daddy."
The little Prince is a also a big fan of the outdoors, according to his grandfather Prince Charles.
He explained: "Fortunately he's one of those characters, I think, who naturally, instinctively likes to be outside.
"It's very interesting. I'm intrigued to see if it lasts. But he loves being outside, which is encouraging. Like all these things, it depends if you can get them to take an interest."

Britain's Prince William has praised the work of teachers across the world.
The 33-year-old royal spoke to celebrate the successes of those nominated for the Varkey Foundation's second annual Global Teacher Prize and praised them for "influencing, inspiring and shaping a young person's life for the better".
In a video for the organisation, he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to send this message to you on the occasion of the second annual Global Teacher Prize. I've been fortunate to have been taught by some of the best teachers in the world and I know what an incredible teacher can mean to a child.
"A good teacher holds the power to influence, inspire and shape a young person's life for the better. They represent the key to real change in this world. That is why I am delighted to be part of this event that honours teachers everywhere."
The royal also spoke of the importance of teachers in "recognising and supporting vulnerable and troubled children".
He added: "Teachers are also uniquely placed to recognise and support vulnerable and troubled children in our society. Reaching young people early on and in their education provides them with the extra support they need and the best possible chance in life.
"This is an incredible responsibility and this is why the Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry has partnered with the Varkey Foundation on a range of programmes, which support teachers to help young people in some of the most disadvantaged communities in the United Kingdom."

Britain's Queen Elizabeth has urged for inclusivity as she addressed the Commonwealth.
The 89-year-old royal spoke of the importance of "supporting those in need and those who feel excluded in all walks of life" in her message to celebrate Commonwealth Day.
She wrote: "Today, and in the year ahead, the theme 'An Inclusive Commonwealth' is an inspiration for us all.
"Let us give it practical effect by supporting those in need and those who feel excluded in all walks of life. By doing so, we will continue to build a truly representative Commonwealth community."
The Queen went on to remind people of the Commonwealth Charter and "the wisdom of mutual respect for each other".
She continued: "Each of us has cause to celebrate the sense of belonging expressed in our 2016 theme: An Inclusive Commonwealth. Our recognition of this value, and the wisdom of mutual respect for each other, is set out in the Commonwealth Charter. Its opening words, 'We the people of the Commonwealth' convey the conviction that individuals, as well as governments, build and shape our success.
"Being inclusive and accepting diversity goes far deeper than accepting differences at face value and being tolerant. True celebration of the dignity of each person, and the value of their uniqueness and contribution, involves reaching out, recognising and embracing their individual identity."

Britain's Prince Harry watched on as England triumphed over Wales in the rugby over the weekend.
The 31-year-old royal attended the event at Twickenham stadium in London, England on Saturday (12.03.15) as the home team beat their opponents 25 - 21.
The 'Imitation Game' star Benedict Cumberbatch was also in attendance and sat just a row behind the royal.
Meanwhile, the Prince is not only a fan of watching the sport but playing too as he previously joined the Sharks Rugby team in Durban, South Africa for a game of barefoot rugby.
Sharks CEO John Smit said at the time: "To have him here, to see how humble he is, it's a big deal. He comes across as such a good bloke. It's good for our kids, who come from some pretty rural areas with not much to their names, to meet someone like him."
When asked if he had enjoyed the game, Harry told reporters: "Yes, but his lot were much better than my lot."
It was previously revealed that the Prince is being given a "more relaxed" schedule in the run up to Invictus Games, which will take place in Florida in May.
A source said: "Nearer to the event in May, Harry and the rest of the team will be working flat-out. When events are a way off the schedule is more relaxed."
