その辛さを思われていた。

そして、子供達に加わり
ワークショップにも参加

かつてドイツ軍が使用していた
ローター式暗号機”エニグマ”を含め
子供達と一緒に
解読に挑戦。

では
キャサリン妃ファッション〜！！！

この日、私もまだロンドンにいましたが
すっごい暑かった、、、、
キャサリン妃のドレスが透けているくらい
日差しが強いのがわかりますよね。。

英国では、超晴れ女な私です（笑）

キャサリン妃も、
戦争や辛い過去に関連した公務ということで
色はネイビー、クラシックなドレスで登場

でも素材感が軽いので、この日にぴったり！
きっと、キャサリン妃はこれでも暑かったはず。。

白襟にドットのミディ丈のドレスは
昨年、
チャールズ皇太子の70歳のBD
を記念したポートレートで
お召しになっていたものですね〜

初めて全身で、公の場で着用！

サラ・ジェシカ・パーカーなど
セレブも多く着ていた
《アレッサンドラ・リッチ》
のドレス
やはり素敵❤️

クラシックでロイヤルっぽく、モード感もあり。

が、意外と、前中心が
ザクっと深く開くんですね〜〜！！！
かなりセクシーですけど、、、

ま、デザインがクラシックな分、
ここで真逆のニュアンスを、
というブランドらしいデザインだけど。

さて、ロイヤルとしてはいかが？

私は、コンサバキャサリン妃には
もやはこれくらいの遊びはあり？
とも思ったり。。

ピアスもパールと、きっちり感で。

クラッチ＆パンプスは
同系色のブルーで合わせて、
最近恒例のワントーンコーデですね。

髪はダウンでカールと
こちらもロイヤル風ですが、
この日、お顔が違って見えた、、、
眉が細く、形が変化
ちょっと山がキツくなった感じが、、、

なんか、最近キリッとした気分？！（笑）

そして、脚のくるぶしに絆創膏？！らしきものが、、
お怪我？
足首、、、擦りむかれたとか？
痛ーい！！

2014年

visited Bletchley Park in 2014 to explore a family connection; her paternal grandmother Valerie Glassborow worked as a "Duty Officer" at Bletchley with her twin sister Mary during the war. As with so many people who worked in British Signals Intelligence, very little is known about their work. Valerie's records were among many destroyed after the war.

During the 2014 visit Kate remarked: "It's so moving for me, and to be here as well. I was aware of it when I was a young girl and I often asked granny about it but she was very quiet and never said anything."

For a 2016 puzzle book produced by GCHQ, the UK’s Signals Intelligence and Cyber Security agency, the Duchess wrote: "I have always been immensely proud of my grandmother, Valerie Glassborow, who worked at Bletchley Park during the Second World War. They hardly ever talked about their wartime service, but we now know just how important the men and women of Bletchley Park were, as they tackled some of the hardest problems facing the country".




The Duchess of Cambridge has visited Bletchley Park, 
the home of British codebreaking and a birthplace of modern computing and information technology

Using sophisticated codebreaking techniques, workers at Bletchley Park gave information to Allied forces in the critical months, weeks and days leading up to D-Day on 6th June 1944. 

Today,
 The Duchess met Veterans Elizabeth Diacon, Georgina Rose, Audrey Mather and Rena Stewart, who all worked to feed crucial information to Allied forces in the critical months, weeks and days leading up to D-Day.

The Duchess also saw the latest additions to Bletchley’s Codebreakers’ Wall, her Grandmother and Great Aunt, Valerie and Mary Glassborow, who both worked at Bletchley during the Second World War.

Now, Bletchley Park is working to bring together the past, present and the future — The Duchess of Cambridge joined schoolchildren for a workshop which enables them to take on the role of codebreakers in June 1944, including using a real Enigma machine!

learn the names of her grandmother and great-aunt are the latest additions to Bletchley's Codebreakers' wall.

”D-Day exhibition”

It includes an immersive film, based on newly declassified material, which shows how the intelligence effort coordinated at Bletchley Park helped specifically in the success of the D-Day landings at Normandy. Using sophisticated codebreaking techniques, workers at Bletchley Park fed crucial information to Allied forces in the critical months, weeks and days leading up to D-Day on 6th June 1944.

viewed the interactive exhibition and met those involved in the restoration of the building

 joined a group of schoolchildren involved in a workshop based on the new exhibition, which allows pupils to take on the role of codebreakers, intercepting and deciphering German communications in order to understand their order of battle and decide whether the Operation Fortitude deception plans have been successful.

 used a real Enigma machine

chatting with Elizabeth Diacon, who served at Bletchley from 1944 to May 1945 as a WAAF shift supervisor, and Georgia Rose, who served from 1943 to 1945 as a teleprinter operator and Morse slip reader.

'The Duchess of Cambridge spoke of how her code-breaker grandmother felt unable to tell her about the vital work she did at Bletchley Park before she died, as she told other veterans: ‘You were so very important.’ 

”キャサリン妃の言葉”

ルイ王子の近況を告白！

'Mrs Rose offered her ‘congratulations on your beautiful family’, to which Kate revealed that little Louis, one, was already running amok. 
‘Thank you so much. Louis is keeping us on our toes,’ she said. ‘I turned around the other day and he was at the top of the slide - I had no idea!’

Given four cuddly toys by the primary school codebreakers: a squirrel, fox, owl and rabbit for George, Charlotte, Louis and baby Archie, she said: 
‘They love wild animals. They will look after these.’ 

キャサリン妃
またしても
絆創膏？！
こんなところを一体、、、

Valerie married RAF pilot Peter Middleton in 1946 in Leeds and they had four children including Kate's father Michael Middleton. Valerie died aged 82 in 2006 and her husband Peter died on 2 November, 2010 aged 90. William and Kate's engagement announcement was delayed because of his death. Kate was very close to both of them.

Kate's codebreaking family history at Bletchley Park

The Duchess of Cambridge's grandmother Valerie Glassborow and her twin sister Mary were among the codebreakers stationed at the top secret base at Bletchley Park during the Second World War. 

The crack team, which also included famed British mathematician Alan Turing, of researchers and cryptographers was tasked with intercepting and interpreting enemy communication and breaking the German enigma code. 

Enigmas, which resembled large typewriters, were used by German air, naval and army forces to safely send messages throughout the Second World War.

It used a complex series of rotors and lights to encrypt messages by swapping letters around via an ever-changing 'enigma code'. The code was eventually broken in 1941 by mathematicians at Bletchley - a feat that proved a crucial turning point in the war.  

Valerie Glassborow and her twin sister Mary worked in Hut 16 at Bletchley Park. She later married Peter Francis Middleton (pictured on their wedding day) and had four sons, Michael, Richard, Simon and Nicholas. Michael is the father of the Duchess of Cambridge

Two women work in hut 6 at Bletchley Park, Buckinghamshire, during the Second World War. Cryptographers deciphered top-secret military communiques between Hitler and his armed forces, which ultimately aided the victory of the Allied forces

Then a young, unmarried woman, Valerie Glassborow worked in Hut 16 on the estate, which is no longer standing. 

Many of her colleagues were 'ordinary' middle-class women like herself, whose work, kept secret for almost half a century, helped change the course of the war.  

However very few went on to pursue a career in intelligence. Indeed of the 9,000 people who worked at Bletchley Park during World War II, just 600 women went on to join the fledgling GCHQ or other branches of the secret services.

Among those to leave the service for a life of domesticity was Miss Glassborow, who married Peter Francis Middleton in 1946 in the village of Adel, Yorkshire.

The couple went on to have four sons, Michael, Richard, Simon and Nicholas in quick succession. 

Michael, the eldest, is the father of the Duchess of Cambridge and is known to have been close to his mother.

Miss Glassborow died in 2006, without ever speaking publicly of her wartime service.

《ハリー王子＆メーガン妃 出生届提出！》

5 / 17 (金)

出生届が提出された。
そして、ついに
明らかになった出生場所

やはり病院

自宅出産予定だったというのは

未だ消えておらず

帝王切開だの、

様々な憶測は未だあるものの

兎にも角にも、

結果は病院

それも、候補として一番薄いと思われていた

ウィンザーのフロッグモアコテージから

もっとも遠く

もっとも高級な病院だった。

25ans動画の中でも

ここも候補に入れていたものの、

でも、もっとも可能性はないと思っていた。

いちいち、

普通だと、、、という推測を

見事に真逆に進みますね。

もう、この方々に関する

推測はやめといたほうが良いかも？

信用なくなりそうだものねえ、、（笑）

結果的に、出生届で判明するのに、

公表しなかったのはなんでだろう？？

とは思うけれど、

出産には色々あるでしょうし、

メーガン妃のおっしゃる通り、プライベートなことので、

これ以上は突っ込んじゃあいけませんね。
