In a case of royal family tunnel vision, the royal-watching world collectively missed an entire royal engagement.
How is that even possible, you wonder? Well, while the world was focused on Meghan Markle (opens in new tab) and her new royal patronages (opens in new tab) this week, Prince William and Kate Middleton (opens in new tab) secretly met with one of their favorite patronages. In the world's defense, Meghan was given four new patronages (opens in new tab) by the Queen. In a release, Kensington Palace explained that Meghan couldn't be more thrilled with the development:
News of Will and Kate's low-key rendezvous didn't come from Kensington Palace, but from Twitter user @GertsRoyals (opens in new tab), who said that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (opens in new tab) had met with Royal Foundation (opens in new tab) Chairman, Sir Keith Mills, probably to discuss future projects with Mills and the charity.
CC Friday:The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Joint Patrons, the Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, this morning received Sir Keith Mills (Chairman).January 12, 2019
The Royal Foundation's website describes Mills as "a British entrepreneur" who "oversaw operations" at the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012. He also served as Chairman of Prince Harry's Invictus Games (opens in new tab) in 2014.
The mystery and intrigue is killing us. Here's hoping the Palace releases details about whatever this top secret meeting was called to plan, STAT.
