Royal

Britain's Countess of Wessex has officially opened the new Heart Centre at Ipswich Hospital.
The 49-year-old royal visited the facility in Suffolk, England, yesterday morning (19.03.14), where she met the doctors, nurses and patients, before declaring the unit open.
The centre has been updated and installed with new state-of-the art equipment after three years of heavy campaigning, which saw members of the public raise more than £30,000, while Heartbeat East Suffolk made a generous £78,000 donation.
The money raised was used to pay for mood lighting in the two new theatres and the installation of calming music, as well as other hi-tech equipment.
The hospital's chief executive Nick Hulme gave the Countess a tour of the cardiac centre before they met lead consultant Dr Duncan McNab, who explained the procedures that are carried out.
Speaking before unveiling a plaque, Sophie said: "Congratulations to all of you.
"What an impressive department you have and I have no doubt that the many patients who will be undergoing procedures here will be hugely and eternally grateful.
"The attention to detail with mood lighting and music says it all."

Britain's Prince Harry's girlfriend is reportedly being put through "princess boot camp" to prepare her for life as a royal.
Cressida Bonas, 25, has been having lessons on how to deal with the media and how to behave in public, so that she's ready for when the prince pops the question later this year.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "The Palace put plans in place as soon as Harry started his Army desk job in London. It was seen as a sure sign things were quickly becoming serious between him and Cressida. Harry now has a new team around him and their role is to advise the couple together.
"Cressida's mum has been tutoring her since she was little, so now the training is going up a level. You could call it princess boot camp."
It is believed Harry, who has been dating Cressida for almost two years, is planning to propose before his 30th birthday in September.
However, it appears the free-spirited stunner - who is the daughter of Lady Mary-Gaye Curzon - may have some hard work to do as she's reportedly being compared to Duchess Catherine, who was known as Kate Middleton before she married Prince William in 2011.
The source explained: "The Palace was appalled to see her plaiting her hair in public when she went to support Harry at Wembley.
"Kate would never be caught doing something so out there."

Britain's Prince Charles has posed for a selfie.
Bold teenager Joseph Wilson snapped a picture with the heir to the throne this morning (19.03.14) as Charles, 65, and his wife Duchess Camilla, 66, visited the town of Yalding in Kent, which was badly hit by flooding last Christmas.
The 17 year old was invited to meet the royals after he and his sister helped rescue stranded flood victims in their canoe.
Joseph told the Kent and Sussex Courier newspaper: "I just asked Prince Charles for a selfie and he let me. I have added it to my David Cameron one which I got when he was down here.
"It's great that so many famous people and royals are coming down to Yalding."
In addition to meeting audacious Joseph, Camilla was presented with flowers and poems by local schoolchildren who were affected by the flooding on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Yalding Primary School headteacher Dorinda Perry said: "We could not bring all the schoolchildren down but we have brought children who were flooded at Christmas and many of them are still homeless.
"The children presented Camilla with a bouquet of flowers. One girl gave her flowers from her flooded garden and others gave them poems which they had written."

Britain's Countess of Wessex was reduced to tears yesterday (18.03.14) when she met the midwives who saved her life.
The 49-year-old royal broke down as she visited Frimley Park Hospital in Surrey and met the medical staff who delivered her daughter Lady Louise Windsor in November 2003.
The countess was rushed to hospital at eight months pregnant and had an emergency caesarean section after suffering a placental abruption, which caused her to lose a dangerous amount of blood.
During a speech yesterday, she said: "Thank you for inviting me here, it is good to be back in happier circumstances.
"On behalf of the thousands of families you have helped I would like to say thank you and congratulations on raising the money for this fantastic facility.
"The service you provide is paramount and can literally make the difference between life and death, I can attest to that. It is rare to have the opportunity to thank people for the huge difference they have made at an important time in your life so I am so pleased to be here and to be able to say thank you in person."
Sophie was back at the NHS hospital to open a new neonatal unit, where she got to meet new mothers and their babies.
The visit is the first time she's returned to the hospital since she delivered her son Viscount Severn in 2007.
A royal aide said: "It was the first time Her Royal Highness had been to the baby unit since having the children and it clearly brought back some memories."

Britain's Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla opened Chelsea Children's Hospital yesterday (18.03.14).
The royal couple visited the state-of-the-art facility at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London, where they had a chance to meet patients and staff and check out a new piece of medical equipment.
The Duchess had a cuddle with 10-month-old Maijed Dhaif, who was born 26 weeks premature and requires intravenous feeding due to gastroenteritis issues, when he yanked out her earring.
However, the 66-year-old royal, who has two children and five grandchildren, made light of the situation by telling staff that the fancy jewellery wasn't actually attached through her ear.
She said: "Don't worry, it's a clip on."
Camilla had a beaming smile on her face as she cradled the tot and claimed he reminded her of her stepson Prince William and his wife Duchess Catherine's child Prince George.
She said: "Holding him like this reminds me of George."
The pair then moved on to a different section of the facility, which cares for more than 75,000 children every year, where they met surgeons operating the UK's only paediatric da Vinci robot.
The clever machine can move its arm, just like the human wrist, which allows operations to be carried out with more precision and less potential damage to the tissue.
While unveiling the plaque to officially open the clinic, Prince Charles said: "We are so delighted to come and join you on this occasion. We both worried a great deal that we'd caused enough disruption to the smooth running of this hospital for one day."

Britain's Prince William admits he's a fan of 'The Apprentice'.
The 31-year-old royal presented Karren Brady, who worked as a co-star alongside Lord Sugar on the show, with a CBE yesterday (18.03.14) at Buckingham Palace in London, but he couldn't help but ask when the reality programme would be back on screens.
Karren is quoted by the Daily Express newspaper as saying: "He asked me when 'The Apprentice' was coming back on. I know that he and the Duchess of Cambridge are big fans of the show."
Karren - who is the vice chairman of West Ham United Football Club - told William that the show would be back on TV in the autumn, and then they both engaged in an intense soccer chat.
She explained: "The Duke of Cambridge is a fanatical football fan. He was still very pleased that his team, Aston Villa, beat Chelsea. So we had a good talk about that.
"He asked me if I would like to leave West Ham and go and work for Aston Villa. Unfortunately, I said not."
The businesswoman also admitted she didn't tell her family about receiving the honour and they only found out when they read it in the newspaper.
She said "It has been difficult over the 20 years, things are getting better. But I think if women like me don't campaign for other women who's going to do it, so I take it seriously."

Britain's Duke and Duchess of Cambridge donated £5,000 to the flood victims of Rhyl.
The royal couple, who used to live in Anglesey, gave the generous amount to the Rhyl Flood Appeal after 150 homes in Wales were destroyed during the battering storms in December.
The mayor of Rhyl, Andrew Rutherford, said he was "gobsmacked" to receive the private donation from William and Catherine.
He said a letter sent on behalf of the pair read: "The Duke and Duchess realise that it is a long, slow and painful process for the many people displaced from their homes and as a token of their support, and to show the people of Rhyl that they are in their thoughts, Their Royal Highnesses would like to make a personal donation to your Rhyl Town Mayor's Flood Appeal."
Many families are still living in temporary accommodation while repairs are being carried out on their properties.
At the time, Andrew said other families, who initially thought they had escaped the floods, had since discovered the sea water had damaged the building foundations.
He said in December: "All the water that has gone over has actually gone under their houses and they have had to have their foundations taken up.
"A couple of them have had to move out so that they can have their footings replaced and floorboards done.
"So we are still getting snippets about people who are being affected, even now, so it's quite hard."

Queen Elizabeth's former gynaecologist has been knighted by Prince William.
Sir Marcus Setchell, who delivered William and Duchess Catherine's first child Prince George last July, was made a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order by the tot's father today (18.03.14).
Marcus was knighted for his services to the royal family over the years in a ceremony that took place at Buckingham Palace in London.
The queen's gynaecologist had attended to the 87-year-old monarch for 24 years and delivered numerous royal babies before retiring from the medical profession at the end of last year.
After being knighted, Marcus described delivering young Prince George as a "lovely experience" and said overseeing the team who helped deliver the royal baby was a wonderful way to end his career.
Sir Marcus is quoted by the Daily Telegraph newspaper as saying: "It's a great honour and it's very nice that I was able to serve her for 24 years and that the culmination of it was that Prince George should be born.
"Being a gynaecologist and obstetrician must be one of the nicest jobs in the world.
"I think even after doing this job for 40 years every birth is exciting, moving and lovely."
Quizzed about his conversation with William, Marcus says he was given an update on Prince George.
He said: "He did make some remarks about what a bouncing baby George is now."

Britain's Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla are to make an appearance at the Edible Garden Show next week.
The royal couple - who got married in 2005 - are set to attend the event, which lasts three days, and is held at Alexandra Palace in London to promote healthy eating.
Charles, 65, who is a keen gardener, will greet children from across the country, who have taken part in the national schools' initiative to design a "dream edible garden".
The event will have a number of celebrity speakers, interactive advice sessions, cookery lessons, and a range of produce available to ensure everyone is getting a taste of the good life.
The Edible Garden Show, which was launched in response to the grow-your-own revolution, has been running for four years, but this will be the first time it is being held at Alexandra Palace.
Meanwhile, the prince has devoted 30 years to overseeing the greenery at Highgrove Gardens in Gloucestershire, England, and runs his own competition named Mygrove, where youngsters can win a trip to the garden.
The duke is also a campaigner for wildlife and his charity, Prince Charles' Countryside Fund, recently donated £50,000 from its emergency fund to help farmers in Somerset following the recent flooding, which destroyed many homes.
The Edible Garden Show takes place from 28 March - 30 March.
