Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark - Day 1 in Australia (part 1)

On the one hand, Prince Frederik and Princess Mary of Denmark were on official duties as they began their tour of Australia.

But the royal couple, who are known for putting family first, were also busy entertaining twins Josephine and Vincent during the visit.

The Danish Royals have returned to Mary's homeland for a six day tour, and it seems the down-to-earth couple will be balancing work and family whilst on the road.

Joining them were their adorable 11-month old tots who were described by their father as "miracles times two" when they were born in January of this year.

And in a nod to their mum's roots, the twins were clutching a stuffed koala and kangaroo –a gift from Australia's Governor General, Quentin Bryce - who also attended their opening photo call.

There was no sign of the couple's other two children five-year-old Christian and Isabella, who is three.

They spent their first day in typical Aussie style, enjoying a beach stroll and a barbecue before zipping round the harbour on a boat.

With official duties and children taken care of, they got into the competitive spirit as they hopped onto some excercise bikes at the during the launch of an arts project.

Australian politician, Barry O'Farrell, was on hand to welcome Mary and her husband to Sydney and had glowing words for his guests .

"Like many Australians, we share in the royal romance and relationship that some have described as a fairytale'' he said.

This is the royals first official visit to Australia since 2008.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's Canada Tour Day Five

Having started with friendly rivalry, including William teasing the opposing team, it ended with a consoling hug from the Prince when he won.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge went head to head in a dragon boat race with teams of local athletes across Dalvay Lake on Prince Edward Island in Canada on Monday, with William sailing to victory.
And earlier in the day, the 29-year-old demonstrated "waterbirding" – a technique developed in Canada to safely land a helicopter on water – before an excited audience and his wife who was taking pictures.

[United Kingdom] Prince Harry, the royal presence at the Formula One Grand Prix

Spanish driver Fernando Alonso was the final champion of the Grand Prix of Great Britain in Silverstone. It was his first race win this year and also a new victory to his team, Ferrari,  now totaling 27 wins as a Formula 1 driver. The Spanish national anthem rang again at the top of the podium of a Grand Prix Formula 1 and the Spaniard had an exceptional attendee, Prince Harry, who had the honor of delivering the trophy. Before the competition started, Prince Charles's youngest son wanted to encourage British race drivers Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton. Eventually the prize did not stay home and went to Alonso.

One of the most awaited pictures of the day was the picture taken of Harry and Jenson Button. It's been a few weeks that it's been rumored that the prince could be dating Button's ex-girlfriend, the model Florence Brudenell Bruce. The pilot and the prince held a friendly and relaxed meeting, in which they discussed the race strategy before the Grand Prix.
