 In the surroundings of one of the UK’s most famous landmarks, 

 join a roundtable briefing about the town’s recent history, the challenges, and the investment and regeneration efforts that are currently underway.

別れてそれぞれの関心公務に
キャサリン妃 
 continue her work on early childhood and join people involved in Blackpool’s ‘A Better Start’ programme, including health visitors, practitioners from the Family Nurse Partnership, and parents. The session, led by Merle Davies, the Director of Blackpool’s Centre for Early Child Development, discuss the impact of long-term investment in mothers, fathers and children in their early years.

ウィリアム王子

In particular the park is helping young children experience gardening and the outdoors, as well as providing space and activities that allow parents, particularly men, to talk about mental health.
 meet with volunteers who maintain the space and run activities in the park, including a carpentry workshop

まずは
”ブラックプールタワー”
に到着
英国内でも、有名なランドマークの一つであるこちら。

街の歴史や、
投資、再建に向けで現在進んでいるチャレンジなどについてお聞きに。

英国の人気社交ダンス番組
”Strictly Come Dancing”
でも使われている場所を
お二人もご覧に。

ご夫妻の希望だったとも言われるので
番組のファンなのでしょうね〜

そして
こちらも街のアイコン
プロムナードにある
”Comedy Carpet" では、
集まった地元の人々とふれあい。

ここは
"Hollywood walk of fame"
とも比較をされるそうですが、
こちらは、
英国で人気の”言葉”や”曲”などが描かれているのだそう。

英国らしいですね。
”言葉”のセンスがキー

お次は、
”ブラックプール・セントラル・ライブラリー”
ここでは、
お二人が別々の内容のディスカッションに参加

キャサリン妃は、
幼少期にフォーカスし、
ブラックプールの
”A Better Start”
のプログラムに関わる人々に加わったり、
 ”the Family Nurse Partnership”
からの、
巡回の保健婦さんたちや、両親の皆さんとお話。

一方のウィリアム王子は、
ホームレスや中毒症など
メンタルヘルスに関する問題を抱える
人々とお会いに。

最後の訪問先は、
”Revoe Park”

かつて、
ドラッグ使用の場として名高かった場所が
 'A Better Start'
の介入によって
コミュニティ・ガーデン
として生まれ変わったのだそう。

ガーデニングなどのアクティビティに参加できる
地域社会のオープンスペースとして再建

沿道の人たちとの会話の中で
キャサリン妃は
「今度は子供達を連れて来たいわ（ブラックプールタワーに）」

ウィリアム王子も、
昔、スタッグパーティーで
ブラックプールにきたことがあると告白
そして、ローラーコースターに乗ったのだそう。

すごいな〜
何気にいろんなところにプリンスが、、、

では
FASHION〜〜！！！

オリーブグリーン＆黒の
シックなスタイル

雨の中、しかも寒そうな？
このシーンにピッタリ

エレガントでございます。
これまで3度着用のコートを着回し

4度目も、やはりコーディネートを変えるところは
さすが、着回しプリンセス！
今回は、ベルトなし

が、一番痩せて見えるな〜
最近、とっても痩せたようにお見受けします。。。
大丈夫かしら、、、

洋服がシックなので、
ヘアはポニーテールで若々しくのバランスが◎

雨なので、
スエードとはいえ黒のブーツだと
濡れたのが分からないから、
公務には良いですね。
長靴履くわけにいかないからねえ、、、ロイヤルは。

中のドレスはニューアイテムで
クジャク柄！

個人的には、好きではないけど
全体で見ると、
やはりキャサリン妃らしくて
まとまってますな。

洋服に合わせて
小物もグリーン

スカーフとブーツを
黒にして引き締め。

このスカーフが
旦那様、ウィリアム王子の
巻き方と同じ〜〜〜！

これも、雨なので、中に入れ込んだほうが
濡れない＆風でもバサバサしなくて
きちんと見える
ロイヤルらしいスタイルとなりますね。

Blackpool Tower 
was opened to the public in 1894. Inspired by the Eiffel Tower in Paris, it is 518 feet tall and is the 120th-tallest freestanding tower in the world.

到着〜

雨です、、、

spent time in the world famous Tower Ballroom. 
They watched dancers waltz to I Shall See You Later, played on the Wurlitzer by Chris Hopkins

Dating back to 1894 it is known for its unique sprung dance floor and spectacular architecture and remains to this day a destination for dance fans from across the globe. Fans of Strictly Come Dancing will recognise the ballroom from 'Blackpool Week'.

”Comedy Carpet”
 on the promenade 

Blackpool's Comedy Carpet has been compared to the Hollywood Walk of Fame; instead it immortalises and celebrates the jokes and songs of Britain’s most well loved comedians and writers. The well known Bruce Forsythe phrase 'Nice to see you, to see you nice' takes centre stage.

”キャサリン妃＆ウィリアム王子の言葉”

William admitted he had once been to Blackpool for a stag party and tried the resort’s famous roller-coasters. 
Kate said: ‘There’s so much here the children would love as well.’ 

”キャサリン妃の言葉”

She joked: 
'Is the weather always like this?' 
The duchess expressed her disappointment at not going up the Tower.
 'No we didn't. Next time I think. There's so much here the children would love as well. Hopefully next time we'll bring them back.'

walk with Lee Burrell, development director at Blackpool Housing Company

visited a poorly maintained former boarding house on Kirby Road which is in a terrible state of disrepair. Housing is a critical issue in Blackpool, the couple saw the realities of the town’s housing problems and the significant work under way to resolve these

In February, it was announced Blackpool Council planned to borrow £41 million to drive its housing programme forward. 
The Gazette reported: "Blackpool Housing Company has bought more than 100 properties and some of the projects already undertaken and converted them into around 300 homes, including conversions of problematic properties in Albert Road, have been praised for the quality of the improvement works and the positive regenerative impact on the local community. The housing company was launched with an initial funding pot of £27m, secured through the Lancashire Growth Deal, with the aim of dramatically improving private sector housing standards across the resort and delivering the kind of affordable homes in which individuals and families would want to put down roots."

Rebecca English was told the visit "was quite an eye-opener " for the couple

visited Christina Jackson in a similar house which has been purchased and upgraded. Over the past year, around 50 bedsits in the area have now become 13 good quality homes for families

後日談
”ウィリアム王子の告白”

ここに滞在中
”Dads 4 Life”のグループのパパとの会話の中で
ウィリアム王子は
シャーロット王女の髪をポニーテールをしたことがあると告白！！！

しかも、YouTube見て覚えたとか、、、！！！
すごいっつ

そして、パパたちにこんなアドバイスもw
「決してポニーテールをやろうと思わないほうがいいよ。最悪だよ。」
“Never try to do a ponytail!” 
William commiserated. 
“Nightmare.”

キャサリン妃がこんなツッコミ？を。
「三つ編みは試したことある？編み込身なんだけど、、、とっても難しいわ。」
“Have you tried to do a plait [braid]? It’s the weaving…really hard.”

ウィリアム王子
「（シャーロットに）ポニーテールは出来るよ。でもそんな程度だね。なんせ僕には、練習するだけの十分な髪はないし。」
“I can do [3-year-old Princess Charlotte’s] ponytail, but that’s about it as I don’t have enough hair to practice on!”

自虐ネタとともに笑いを。
まさに英国のセンス！！！

っていうか、そもそも
キャサリン妃はいらっしゃらなかったっていうことよね〜

でもって、誰かスタッフの女性も？？

完全にお一人で子供の面倒ですか、、
素晴らしい！

かつて、プリンストいえば
パレスで家庭教師によって教育、、でしたが
今や、自分で子育て、情報はYouTubeって、、、、（笑）

『a surprise appearance：
WE Day UK』 
a global initiative to encourage young people to take part in positive social change.

@ the SSE Arena

 in Wembley

ウェンブリースタジアムで行われた
若者達のイベントにハリー王子が登場

なんと、そこに
予想外の、メーガン妃も登場！！！

a surprise appearance today, accompanying her husband to WE Day UK, a global initiative to encourage young people to take part in positive social change

Over 12,000 students and teachers who have made a difference in their local and global communities came together for WE Day UK for a full day of educational speeches, inspirational moments and show-stopping performances.

Prince Harry was in attendance in his capacity as President of The Queen’s Commonwealth Trust, a new organisation launched last year. The Commonwealth Trust champions, funds and connects young leaders who are leading social purpose ventures around the world by giving them a platform that takes their work seriously, funds their work, shares and amplifies their ideas. 

Harry's been involved with WE Day for years, he spoke at the event in 2014 and attended WE Day Toronto in 2017 when Meghan was still living there

During a passionate speech, Harry shared one of Meghan's favourite quotes: 
"As my wife often reminds me with one of her favourite quotes by Martin Luther King Jr. - “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."

ステージ上で
アツいスピーチをされた直後
「妻を引っ張りだそうと思います」
と、サプライズで
メーガン妃をステージ上に！！

 "I'm now going to try and drag my wife on stage".

もちろん観客達は
メーガン妃の存在も知らず。

大きな拍手とともに
大盛り上がり。

それにしても、
こういう場がとってもお似合いのカップルですねえ
改めて実感。

共にスピーチもお上手
やはりカップルって、
内面が似た者同士なんだな〜

尊敬の眼差し？
惚れ惚れと夫を見つめる妻

Prince Harry's empowering speech in full 

Hello We Day!

It’s a great privilege to be back in this exciting, buzzing space, this time as President of the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust; a platform we created for YOU where your ideas and creativity will be taken seriously – because it’s YOU that are making the most impact in your communities.

I am proud to stand before you and see you just as enthusiastic as I remembered.

With all of that activism, some might think you’d be exhausted – but look at you, (and listen to you) - you know the secret!

That in giving back, in fighting the good fight, it doesn’t exhaust you, it energizes you.

To be amongst all of you progressive, motivated, open minded, change-makers, is what gives me hope for the future.

Your optimism is inspiring - you see opportunities where other people see challenges; you seek solutions when others just focus on problems.

You are the most engaged generation in history. You care about values, doing the right thing, and championing the causes that will shape your future.

You don’t judge someone based on how they look, where they’re from, or how they identify.

In this room, you see the world for what it is - vibrant, colourful, mixed and full of promise.

That is who you are, and that is what makes me feel proud to stand in your presence as you tackle the world’s greatest issues. And you guys know as well as I do, we’ve still got so much to do.

As far as I see it, there are two absolutely crucial issues that we need to focus on, and my hope is that a 1000 more issues will be cured in the process.

First, let’s take OUR mental health; which you’ve embraced whole heartedly, breaking the generational stigma and helping to normalise the conversation.

After all, mental illness is about recovery, mental health is about consciousness, mental fitness is about well-being.

To be happy is to be mindful, mindful of your feelings, mindful of your surroundings, and mindful of the 7.7 billion other humans that inhabit this planet.

And while we’re on the topic of health, let’s talk about the health of our planet too.

Climate change, is a humanitarian issue not a political one, and one where we’ve been far too slow in waking up to the issues and acting on the damaging impact our ways of living are having on the world.

We now have the facts, the science, the technology and the ability to save not just our planet, but ourselves.

I know you don’t sit back and wait for solutions, you take action and create them.

Our world’s greatest assets are threatened every day and it is SO important that we support local communities to safeguard every element of this incredible world.

Every forest, every river, every ocean, every coastline, every insect, every wild animal. Every blade of grass, every ray of sun and every rain drop is crucial to our survival.

It is all connected, we are all inter-connected. You in this room understand that and are already making this a safer, healthier and more resilient home for all of us and for generations to come.

And for that I applaud you.

If we look at the world we’re living in, I know it can feel challenging sometimes, but your role is to shine the light.

Every day you are inundated with an overexposure of advertising and mainstream media, social media and endless comparisons, distorting the truth, and trying to manipulate the power of positive thinking. But you don’t let them sway you.

Because you don’t need to hide behind your device to share your voice. You confidently voice your opinions because you can embrace them proudly.

As my wife often reminds me with one of her favourite quotes by Martin Luther King Jr. - 'Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.'

You aren’t always going to agree, you may find yourselves frustrated with the older generation when it seems like they don’t care.

But try to remove that judgment.

Try to remember that not everyone sees the world the way you do, but that doesn’t mean they don’t care.

It means you have the incredible opportunity to help reshape mindsets, to empower those around you to think outside the box, and to work with you, not against you, to find solutions.

You know that if you don’t stand for something you’ll fall for anything.

So let that be your true north, let that be your call to action - to inspire those who stand for nothing, to stand for something -and to stand WITH you.

So what’s next, what’s on your to-do list starting now...

Be braver

Be stronger

Be kind to each other

Be kind to yourselves

Have less screen time, and more face to face time

Exceed expectations

Eliminate plastics

Conserve water

Protect wildlife and their unique habitat

Keep empathy alive

Ask your friends how they are doing and listen to the answer

Be honest

Take risks

Change your thoughts and change the world

Dare to be the greatest generation of all time

I am with you, we are with you!
