Royal

Britain's Queen Elizabeth spoke to schoolchildren in French on Thursday (16.07.15).
The monarch - who is known for excellent linguistic skills - visited Sydney Russell School in Dagenham, east London, where she joined a year eight French lesson and chatted with pupils.
After arriving in the classroom, The Queen had a conversation with 13-year-old pupil Suvika Kumaravelu who showed her a photograph of her Sri Lankan grandfather and explained to her in French how they had exchanged cards as they shared the same birthday.
Following the student's explanation, the 89-year-old royal replied, "Ah, vraiment?" (Oh, really?) before pointing at the picture and asking, "Votre grand-pere?" (Your grandfather?).
The children at the school then gave a presentation about former French President Charles de Gaulle, who Elizabeth said she knew "very well".
Later in the day, the school's head teacher Roger Leighton - who had been present for the class - told reporters: "I said that he was an impressive man, but could be stubborn. She did not disagree. She said that he was an interesting man to deal with. Let's leave it at that."
The visit was the monarch's final royal engagement before she travels to her Balmoral estate in Scotland for a summer break.

Britain's Prince Harry is "one of the Joes" according to an Invictus Games competitor.
Retired Sgt. Major Christopher Self took part in the multi-event competition in London last September where he met the 30-year-old royal, who he insisted is down-to-earth and "easygoing".
Speaking about the prince, he said: "Obviously you never forgot he was a prince, but he was an easygoing guy, one of the Joes."
The 48-year-old former US Army soldier - who lost his right leg after being shot in Iraq in 2006 - continued to say he thought Harry was great because he took such a keen interest in hearing people's stories.
He explained: "He was around all the events almost every day.
"It was pretty cool to see him at that level. We had the chance to talk to him a couple of times. This was one of the biggest things he's done as prince, and having been in the service himself, he took a personal interest in all the athletes."
Prince Harry recently announced the 2016 Invictus Games would take place from May 8-12 in Orlando, Florida, and Christopher said he is keen to return to the competition.
He told PEOPLE magazine: "You're meeting these folks from Britain, Canada, even Afghanistan in an Olympic-style competitive setting, and there is a lot of mingling and interaction.
"Being in the military is like being a professional athlete. Through competitions like the Warrior Games or Invictus, it gives a chance to show, 'Yes, I've been injured, but I'm still able to do these things physically and compete on a level playing field.' "

The Duke of Edinburgh shocked volunteers when he asked them, "Who do you sponge off?"
The 94-year-old royal was visiting Chadwell Heath Community Centre with his wife The Queen when he made the comment while talking to members of the Chadwell Heath Asian Women's Network.
Founder of the organisation Nusrat Zamir, 35, explained: "The Duke said to us 'Who do you sponge off?' We're all married so it's our husbands.
"He was just teasing and it's similar to what I call my husband - the wallet.
"It's a familiar question, a lot of people say what the Duke said but we do a lot of work. When we organised a fair in March that took a lot of organising and time."
Following the incident, Prince Philip, who is renowned for his incorrigible sense of humour, made another gaffe when he asked a professional fundraiser, "Do you have any friends left?"
During the visit, the couple were shown around the centre to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Barking and Dagenham's creation as a London Borough and the residents were thrilled about their royal visitors.
One local, Ms Estlea, said: "It was all lovely. I'm really happy with how it went. It felt comfortable, it felt easy, it felt right."

Duchess Catherine's first official engagement since having a baby has been revealed.
The 33-year-old royal will visit Portsmouth on the south coast of England on July 26 along with her husband Prince William for her first official engagement since she gave birth to her daughter Princess Charlotte on May 2.
Confirming the news on Twitter, Kensington Palace wrote: "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge - Royal Patron of @1851Trust will support @acwspmth in Portsmouth on 26 July. (sic)"
During the visit, the duchess will hear about the 1851 Trust which she recently became a patron for, which works to inspire young people to become involved in sailing and the marine industry.
The couple will visit the "1851 interactive zone" where they will speak to young people who have become involved with the Trust and will be told about the taster sessions they run for people with an interest in taking up the sport.
As well as her duties linked to the charity, the mother-of-two will watch some racing, speak to members of the British yacht team competing in the America Cup and visit a waterfront festival.
Despite the outing, royal aides have insisted the duchess remains focused on mothering two-month-old Charlotte and 23-month-old Prince George meaning her visit to Portsmouth does not mark a full return to royal duties.

Duchess Catherine has reportedly been dubbed "Duchess of Do-Little" by Britain's Queen Elizabeth.
The mother-of-two is believed to be facing mounting pressure from her royal relatives to make more of an effort with her official engagements after missing a planned lunch on July 10 in hour of World War II pilots, which has apparently angered her husband Prince William's grandmother.
An insider told Life & Style magazine: "She would never say this in public, but even Her Majesty described Kate as 'Duchess Do-Little' when she was very tired one day.
"She comes from a different generation and has a sense of duty above all else.
"Kate is getting a bit of a reputation for ducking out of royal duties. That's where her nicknames, 'Duchess of Do-Little' and 'Lazy Katie,' come from. If you can't find time to pay tribute to some old men who saved your country, what message does that convey?"
The 33-year-old royal's decision to miss the lunch came just two days after she attended the Wimbledon tennis championships and a fortnight after she hosted Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie at Kensington Palace, much to the annoyance of other members of the royal family.
Princess Diana's former butler Paul Burrell explained the relationship between "royals and nonroyals" is usually difficult because of the pressures associated with being in the iconic family.
He said: "Relations between royals and nonroyals have always been awkward and tense.
"Marrying into the family firm is not easy."
However, the duchess is said to have had enough of the criticism and is refusing to be ordered around.
A source added: "Kate is fed up with sniping from the queen as well as from others in the family, and she has told William so. She is not going to be told which jobs she should and shouldn't do."

Britain's Prince William is "settling in" well to his new job.
The Duke of Cambridge began his role as a pilot with the East Anglian Air Ambulance, based at Cambridge International Airport, on Monday (13.07.15) and has already been "fully accepted" by his colleagues.
Air Ambulance spokeswoman Diana Jakubowska said: "He is settling in and got on very well. He is a fully accepted team member."
The 33-year-old royal flew his first rescue mission on Tuesday (14.07.15) when the service was called to an incident in Garboldisham in Norfolk although no details about the rescue have been released due to "patient confidentiality".
William - who lives on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk with his wife Duchess Catherine and their two children, 23-month-old Prince George and two-month-old Princess Charlotte - previously revealed he would be donating his salary to charity, although that hasn't affected his role within the team.
The spokeswoman added: "They do a really important job saving lives. Nobody can stand on ceremony."
The duke - who previously flew helicopters for the RAF - will reportedly work for four days before having four days off, with additional time off permitted in order for him to conduct his royal duties.

The Duchess of Cornwall cried watching 'War Horse'.
Camilla - who is married to Charles, the Prince of Wales - visited St Peter's Eaton Square Church of England Primary School on Wednesday (15.07.15) where she told a young pupil she had become emotional at the end of the tale, which was written by author Michael Morpurgo in 1982.
Freya Court, 11, told the Western Daily Press newspaper: "I told the Duchess we'd been to see 'War Horse' and it made me cry at the end and the Duchess said it made her cry as well."
Since its release, the book - which tells the story of a horse called Joey taken from a farm in Devon to be used in the First World War - has been adapted into a film and a stage show, which Camilla has seen.
During her tour of the school following major refurbishment work, the duchess chatted to school governors over tea while also speaking to pupils of all ages about what they had learnt in the last year.
The 67-year-old royal was also treated to a performance of 'Peter Pan' by several 10 and 11-year-old pupils, as well as a reading of the poem 'The Owl and the Pussycat'.
Alongside a picture of Camilla with the children, a spokesperson for Clarence House wrote on Twitter: "The talented Year Six cast of Peter Pan from St Peter's School met and performed for HRH on their last day at school."

Kathy Lette asked Britain's Prince William if she could use "tongue" when she kissed him.
The 56-year-old Australian comedian was required to give the royal a friendly kiss on the cheek when she presented him with a trophy at a polo match, but jokingly asked him for a more passionate kiss, despite being 23 years his senior.
She recalled: "Clarence House rang me and said they noticed I was one of the celebrities coming to this polo match and asked me if I could present the prince with his trophy - they must have been short on celebrities that day.
"Before I met William, I asked what the protocol was for giving him the trophy and they told I should kiss him on the cheek when I gave it to him.
"Then I remember him walking towards me and he looked so unbelievably bored. So, when he came up to me I said 'Apparently I'm supposed to kiss you now - do you want tongue?' He laughed and said 'Maybe later'."
Although the cheeky exchange got a laugh out of the father-of-two, 33, it was his younger brother Prince Harry, 30, who was most tickled by the comment, as he joked with her later in the day.
Speaking on ITV's 'Lorraine', she added: "He must have told his brother Harry about it because he then came up to me and asked if I wanted tongue!
"Personally, I think they were really happy to not be treated like princes for once."

Britain's Prince William has piloted his first air ambulance rescue.
The 33-year-old royal flew to an incident in Garboldisham in Norfolk in the east of England on Tuesday (14.07.15) for his first active rescue as a co-pilot with the East Anglian Air Ambulance, although details of the situation have not been revealed due to "patient confidentiality".
A spokeswoman said: "We are unable to confirm any more details of this incident because of patient confidentiality."
The Duke of Cambridge - who began his new job just a day earlier - almost started with a rescue as the alarm was raised about a road accident in St Albans less than two hours after he arrived at his base, although their services were called off when it was realised they were not needed.
The prince - who recently revealed he will be giving his entire wage to charity - underwent several months of intense training to prepare him for the role, despite having previously flown RAF helicopters for a living.
And although he should be confident in his flying ability, he revealed he was "feeling the nerves" when he arrived for his first day in the job.
He said: "It's my first day and I'm feeling the nerves. We're starting off on a wet Cambridge day, but I'm really looking forward to getting started.
"It's been a lot of effort and patience in training but we're here now and I'm looking forward to doing the job."
