白月光的曾经出现在威廉王子的生命里,当时英媒是这样描述的:In 2007, a royal source told a similar story to the Daily Mail saying, among other things: "Isabella was very much on the scene that summer. I would go so far as to say that William dumped Kate because he thought he had a chance with Isabella and Kate knew that. Kate's a tough cookie, though, and stood aside and waited for William to come back to her which eventually he did. Before that, though, he did everything he could to woo Isabella." And: "William was madly in love with her but when he knew there was no chance of them getting together he went back to Kate. Kate was very aware of his obsession with Isabella and she was incredibly threatened by her. Isabella is drop-dead beautiful and would leave any girl in the shade. Kate accepted William back again but on the condition that he would not speak to Isabella again."
还有把凯特因为她的出现被狠甩的原因写了出来! Prince William and Kate Middleton are enjoying marriage and parenthood now, but while they were dating, the pair went through a brief breakup that made people think they weren't meant to be. During that time Prince William had his eyes set on actress, model, and aristocrat Isabella Calthorpe. She has a beauty that has captivated the fashion industry, so it's understandable that William, too, found himself entranced with Isabella. They met at William's cousin's dinner party back in 2001, but it wasn't until 2005 when he and Kate separated that he attempted to have a relationship with Isabella. William's friends supported a potential relationship between the two, but Isabella let William know that a romance wasn't going to happen. Not long after, William and Kate reconciled. In 2013, Isabella married Sam Branson, son of Virgin mogul Richard Branson and heir to a multi-billion dollar fortune. Whether she ended up with Williams or Sam, it was a win-win situation.
The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy 在英国非常的有名,英国人去非洲探访野生动物,首先就是它,我们中文可以译作肯尼亚的勒瓦野生动物保护协会。
它变得全世界都闻名是因为威廉王子2010年在这里向凯特米德尔顿求婚。
英媒对于它的报道是这么写的:
The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya is an award-winning model for community conservation. It is a great stronghold for endangered Black Rhino and they offer a variety of alternative safari activities.
The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy was a cattle ranch founded by the Craig family in the 1920's through a colonial settlement program. In the 1980's part of the ranch was converted into a sanctuary for Black Rhino whose numbers had been reduced to less than 300 due to poaching. In 1995 the Conservancy was founded and the area expanded to include the whole farm and part of the Ngare Ndare Forest Reserve.
Lewa Downs has been an exclusive safari destination for many years, but was made famous when Britain's Prince William proposed to Catherine Middleton there in 2010. It is considered to be one of the greatest conservation success stories in the world and is a model for sustainable tourism. Another event the Conservancy is famous for is the Safaricom Marathon, an annual event held to raise money for the Conservancy's environmental initiatives.
著名的传记作者Natasha Breed曾经写过一本书,这本书可以在亚马逊上面买得到,英文名字是From Oxcart to Email(The Kenya story of Delia Craig ),译成中文是《从牛车到电子邮件》, 这本书的主角就是威廉王子的红玫瑰JECCA CRAIG的奶奶。CRAIG家族在肯尼亚殖民地宣布从英国殖民统治之下独立后,选择坚守非洲。
Moving to London in 2002, Jecca studied conservationist studies and was joined by her whole family Windsor Castle for William’s 21st birthday (21 June 2003), which had an ‘Out of Africa’ theme. After meeting while mountaineering in Kenya in 2004, Jecca became engaged to Equitix director Hugh Crossley in 2008, and they planned to marry the following year. But the engagement didn’t last with her father revealing the reason being her desire to complete her degree at University College London. The year previous, her brother had married, with the wedding coinciding with that of William’s cousin Peter Phillips and Autumn Kelly. William missed his cousin’s wedding to attend which made world news.
