❥ 9 MAY 2025 | Kensington Palace released a statement of support for the Royal Horticultural Society, which announced 'Catherine's Rose', named after the Princess of Wales to celebrate the healing power of nature and the role spending time outdoors plays in supporting our mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing.

Funds from the sale of Catherine’s Rose will go to The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity to help The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust establish a training programme for UK clinical teams across the country to give cancer patients a prehabilitation and rehabilitation programme.

The rose has subtle coral-pink blooms and a rich perfume with hints of Turkish Delight and mango.  It is said to thrive in a mixed border, as a hedge, in a large container or in a rose bed.

The statement released via KP socials said :

Spending time in nature has always been a source of comfort and strength. Gardens and green spaces provide not only beauty and joy, but also vital support for our mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing.

Today the Royal Horticultural Society are announcing a new Rose, “Catherine’s Rose”, grown by Harkness Roses. The proceeds from this rose will support The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, helping patients across the country live well with, and beyond, cancer 🌹

the relationship between tomas cromwell and anne boleyn in these books just really defies description. they’re sisterwives to henry viii together. they’re eve and the serpent. they’re each other’s other woman. she’s his hag. he might have been in love with her sister but they don’t talk about that. she trusts him because he’s not noble and therefore expendable but that’s the main reason she doesn’t trust him. he put her in power and is actively trying to supplant her because he wants to watch her think her way out of it. she tried to get him beheaded yesterday but today they’re getting brunch. he’s her right hand left hand arm. she’s his silly rabbit. does he call her that. no

𓅃 ANNE BOLEYN WEEK 2024 𓅃

day seven | free day

To say it’s archetypal isn’t actually doing it justice. It’s flat-out impossible to envision Anne Boleyn without her pearl-and-gold “B” necklace – a fact that filmmakers and book cover designers seem to agree with. ... We think Anne owned at least four ‘initial’ pieces during her lifetime; it seems she had her famous “B” of course, an “A”, an “AB” and an “AH” for her and Henry. - Erin Lawless

I was very mistaken to think that working at a prestigious publishing company—where some of your colleagues (including your bosses) are veteran editors—would automatically mean being surrounded by literate and cultured people. Lol.

So how did no one recognise my JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders T-shirt today? The only response I got was from a girl (a darling, sweet girl who joined the office the same day I did) who thought the shirt was brand new. It wasn’t—just well cared for and good quality.

I can't wait for June (and the months that follow). Someone admitted he owes me something really important. 😊

Happy to announce that we welcomed the youngest member of our family last Sunday—a 3-month-old mix of Persian and Scottish breeds. He’s the third furry baby my parents have in the house, alongside the strays they regularly feed in the front yard. My father finally has a son!

Note: Proud to say I had the honour of naming all three 😆🤘
