But, it was during the reign of Pratap Malla in Kathmandu, Jagat Prakash Malla in Bhaktapur and Siddhi Narsingh Malla in Lalitpur that the Gai Yatra turned into a pilgrimage and a festival, with musical instruments, which was the start of Gai Jatra we see today in Kathmandu. Official overseas visits were also made to Western Samoa, Australia, New Zealand, Tonga, Fiji, Tasmania, Papua New Guinea, Canada and the West Indies. During the year it was estimated that The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh travelled 56,000 miles.

It was a time of austerity and anxiety for the whole country, including the Royal Family. But at Christmas time there was a period of light relief when the young Princesses put on pantomimes with the children of members of staff for the enjoyment of her family and employees of the Royal Household. Education Ashley raised Elizabeth primarily at Hatfield House, in the Hertfordshire countryside. There, a tight protectorate of servants and tutors formed a family unit, with the precocious child at its center. Princess Elizabeth also learned French from a number of French and Belgian governesses. It is a skill which has stood The Queen in good stead, as she often has cause to use it when speaking to ambassadors and heads of state from French-speaking countries, and when visiting French-speaking areas of Canada. Services of Thanksgiving were held at St George’s Chapel in Windsor and at St Paul's Cathedral, and the latter was followed by a lunch at Mansion House in London.Bhaktapur was the capital of Nepal for 367 years from the reign of King Ananda Dev to Yaksha Malla. After the time of Yaksha Malla, the Kathmandu valley was divided into Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Lalitpur with differences in language and culture, which one can observe even today. If their public interactions are any indication, the children of Prince William and Kate Middleton absolutely adore their nanny, Maria Borrallo. And it is no wonder: For centuries, royal children have been particularly close to their caretakers, who often see more of them than their busy, titled parents. According to Finding Freedom, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were loath to have a live-in nanny and fired their night nurse on her second evening of taking care of Archie. But over the centuries, royal nannies have saved their charges’ lives, died for their charges, won the heart of the king, and, in one case, even felt the wrath of Princess Diana.

While Gai Jatra must have begun earlier, Shrestha says Pratap Malla introduced humour to the festival in the medieval period as the queen was still not consoled by the message of the parade that death is a universal truth. The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh's grandchildren are Peter and Zara Phillips (b. 1977 and 1981); Prince William of Wales and Prince Henry of Wales (b. 1982 and 1984); Princess Beatrice of York and Princess Eugenie of York (b. 1988 and 1990); and The Lady Louise Windsor and Viscount Severn (b.2003 and 2007).

Platinum Jubilee

After Princess Elizabeth became Queen, their third child, Prince Andrew, arrived in 1960 and the fourth, Prince Edward, in 1964. Prince Andrew and Prince Edward were the first children to be born to a reigning monarch since Queen Victoria had her family. Prince William's brother, Prince Harry, and his wife Meghan had been in the UK in recent days for engagements, and are said to be travelling to Scotland too.
