As the queen celebrates her official birthday on Sunday 9th June, we reflect on the wonderful royal occasions that have taken place this year. We have seen the birth of Prince Louis on 23rd April and the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on 19th June, leaving us bursting with national pride. What better time to get your nearest and dearest involved with some regal inspired activities? And of course, keep royally clean while doing so with ACE’s fab products, meaning you can remove the stains whilst keeping hold of the precious memories.
King of the castle
To mark the array of royal revelries taking place this year, Windsor Castle is hosting family Saturdays throughout June. ‘Crowns and Coronations’ will include diverse activities, from storytelling sessions to 1950s music for the whole family. The events will run from 11 am to 4.30 pm and are free with any regular ticket purchase.

Modern tradition
It’s no secret that Harry and Meghan opted for a lemon and elderflower cake for their big day. We think it will be a new royal favourite and have been meaning to whip one up ourselves! If you’re feeling adventurous why not go for a walk in the countryside and find some beautiful wildflowers to decorate yours? Foodie Meghan would certainly approve!
