I wasn't aware he was the Royal Master of the Bench.  But he has met with the scholarship winners before.

"Royal Master of the Bench" - Who makes this guff up?

[Macrobug]

Your Law system

[SophieChloe]

^ Yep.  Nonsense.  Just like Queens, Kings, Prince, Princess, Duke and Duchess.  Why not go the whole hog and have Mermaids, Dragons, and Unicorns.

Another pretty title.  He obviously doesn't give a flying fig since he last showed an interest in 2009.

[Macrobug]

Not so....Both he and Kate have visited Middle Temple for events and they have presented/received scholarship winners before.

I took a whirlwind trip around google and here that came up with a few things.  But too busy right now to post links.  Maybe later.....


Most Excellent Master of the Sparkly Unicorn does have a certain appeal..... :teehee:

[SophieChloe]

^ :hehe:

Oh is that the one when Kate gave a flawless, heartfelt and moving speech?  :teehee:

Save yourself some time and don't bother for me MB - I couldn't give a cracker. 

I'm more interested in helping those "less fortunate" type of charities.  Not the patting yourself on the back variety.

Sparkly Unicorn  :hi:

Congratulations to the scholarship winners of the Cambridges' scholarship program. Hopefully it will provided funds needed by worthy recipients. :)

[SophieChloe]

Yes, Congratulations to Them.  William has just been given another fancy title.  Pathetic.

The same person (Cepe Smith) also tweeted this:

22/5 Duke of Cambridge, Patron, this afternoon attended a Lunch for the Defence and National Rehabilitation Centre at St James's Palace.

Thank you for the update @Rebound as this would likely fall under the umbrella of the Cambridge/Harry foundation.
