The Future King and Queen of England visiting my Home Town tomorrow

I live in Cambridge, New Zealand which is a small town on the Waikato River, founded in 1864 and named after the Duke of Cambridge, who was the Commander in Chief of the British Army. The two really famous Cambridges in the World are in Massachussets, home of Harvard and MIT, and in England, home of Cambridge University. But these days it's the Cambridge of New Zealand that's running the ball.

Tomorrow morning (New Zealand time) we shall be honored by a British royal visit which has not happened since Queen Elizabeth visited New Zealand in 1954. The town is very excited because tomorrow’s visitors are the Queen’s grandson, William, and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, the heirs to the British throne, who are on a visit to New Zealand with their son, Prince George, who’s only eight months old. George has already become a hit with the NZ public, as this is his first major appearance on the world stage, and he has already put on a show for the cameras.

Today the Duke and Duchess were in Auckland, each captaining an America’s Cup 12 meter yacht and racing each other around the Auckland harbor. The Princess won 2 races to nil, so you can imagine the jokes.

In Cambridge, all the shops have been competing with each other for displays of the funkiest tableaux scenes of England and royalty.

These are all my photos. Cambridge looked pretty prepared for the visit.

So tomorrow is the day for a little bit of history. We will be in the crowds to catch a glimpse of the Royals and get some photos. By coincidence we live in Princes St, Cambridge, which is next to William Street and just along from Victoria and Jubilee St. As is evident, the street names of this village were named after Whitehall, which is just along the road from Buckingham Palace and the home of the Cambridge Royals in Kensington palace.

So your trusty reporter will be on duty tomorrow to bring you the first-hand story of the visit.
