Fortnum & Mason and Prince George's 1st Birthday

The luxury department store, Fortnum & Mason, is said to be the Queen's favorite store, and is referred to as her grocer.  I signed up for F & M's e-mail newsletters, and a recent one featured their "Butterfly Collection" teaware.

In honor of Prince George's one year old birthday yesterday, his parents released photos of him taken at the Sensational Butterfly Exhibition at London's Natural History Museum.

News sources said his birthday celebration would be a small affair at Kensington Palace with tea, lots of cake, and sentimental gifts.  Wonder if Fortnum and Mason sent over a few Butterfly Collection teacups for the royal birthday party?  

Guests include Great-Grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, six month old 2nd cousin, Mia Tindall [daughter of Zara Phillips], Uncle Harry, Middleton grandparents and relatives, and god parents.

I loved Darren McGrady's cookie portrait of the little Prince.  McGrady was a Buckingham Palace chef before he became Princess Diana's chef at Kensington Palace.

  2. Isn't he sweet, and already on the cover of many magazines. Do I ever like the teapot from this pattern!

  3. So the Queen shares my fondness for this store, eh? (Ha!) What I like most about all the photos of Prince George is that he seems like such a happy little boy!
