Tennis Anyone? William and Kate to Upgrade Their Tennis Courts at Anmer Hall

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have submitted plans to revamp the tennis court at their country mansion.

Secluded Anmer Hall on the Sandringham Estate already boasts 10 bedrooms, a swimming pool and acres of rolling land.

The new 3.65 hectare tennis court will sit adjacent to the stately home overlooking the luscious parks and ponds.

The hard court will have an AstroTurf surface and will replace an existing court which has fallen into disrepair. Click link for full post from The Telegraph.

Queen of Jewelry

Brooches, usually worn on the left shoulder, were a favourite for the royal and the Queen was believed to have over 100 in her collection. A selection that would go with an outfit were presented to her - usually three at a time - by her senior dresser and confidante Angela Kelly on special trays that once belonged to Queen Mary. The royal had a wide variety of different brooches which she often wore with her usual pearl earrings and necklace, including a spray of flowers brooch by the people and government of Australia during her Coronation tour of 1954./
