Hello, dear readers, We're back with news from the Our Queen at Ninety documentary, reports of a trip to Kenya and an exciting giveaway from Merci Maman. Ahead of Sunday's screening of Our Queen at Ninety, nuggets of information and interview segments are being gradually released. In Kate's interview she revealed the gift she chose for Her Majesty for her first Christmas with the Royal family in 2011. Choosing a gift for the Queen is a daunting task, as Her Majesty is well known to prefer small, inexpensive items. Kate turned to her grandmother's recipe for chutney. In the interview she revealed: "I can remember being at Sandringham, for the first time, at Christmas. And I was worried what to give the Queen as her Christmas present. I was thinking, 'Gosh, what should I give her?' I thought, 'I'll make her something,' which could have gone horribly wrong, but I decided to make my granny's recipe of chutney. I was slightly worried about it, but I noticed the next day that it was on the table. I think such a simple gesture went such a long way for me and I've noticed since she's done that on lots of occasions and I think it just shows her thoughtfulness, really, and her care in looking after everybody." Several readers have been in touch enquiring about popular British chutney recipes. Luckily, I can do better that that and share the exact recipe thanks to Pippa. In her book Celebrate Ms Middleton shares the recipe for 'Granny's Marrow Chutney'. Pippa writes: "This is my granny's recipe which has been passed down the family. It's a great way of using up very big marrows, but use large courgettes if you prefer, or experiment with different fruits and vegetables following the same principles." The ingredients: 1.8 kg marows, peeled, deseeeded and chopped into small chunks. 4 medium onions, peeled and chopped into small chunks. 3 apples, peeled, cored and chopped. 225g sultanas or raisins. 225g stoned dates, roughly chopped. 600 ml malt vinegar. 900g soft brown sugar. 1 teaspoon salt. 2 tablespoons ground ginger. 2 tablespoons mixed pickling spices, secured in a piece of muslin. Pippa writes: "Put the chopped marrow, onions and apples into a large preserving pan, add the rest of the ingredients and the bag of spices and stir together, then place over a medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 1 and a half to 2 hours. Take the pan off the heat, cool and remove the muslin, squeezing the liquid from the bag. Spoon it into sterilised jars with vinegar-proof lids, filling them to within 1cm of the top. Store in a cool place for up to 12 months. Once open, store in a fridge, and use within one month." Do let me know if any of you attempt to make it. I may even give it a go myself over the weekend. For those who enjoy giving homemade gifts, it's a great option. Below, we see additional video featuring Kate speaking about going to Leicester with the Queen without William, Her Majesty's 'gentle guidance', members of the family teasing her for speaking so long chatting on walkabouts :) We'll be covering Kate's participation in the documentary in its entirety when it airs on Sunday night. ************ UPDATE: Prince William travelled to Kenya for a short private visit to attend the wedding of Jecca Craig to conservationist Jonathan Baillie on the 55,000 acre wildlife reserve run by Jecca's father, Ian, in the foothills of Mount Kenya. William famously missed Peter Philipps' in 2008 to attend Batian Craig's wedding. The Palace confirmed William will be in Kenya from 24 - 27 March in the official press release: 'At the start of his short visit to the country, on Thursday 24th March, the Duke of Cambridge will attend a meeting with President Uhuru Kenyatta. The meeting is taking place at the request of Her Majesty's Government, and His Royal Highness is pleased to have the opportunity to meet the President while he is in Kenya. They will discuss the relationship between the United Kingdom and Kenya, to deepen relations between the two countries on a broad range of topics including defence and security, and conservation. The Duke, who is President of United For Wildlife, will spend the remainder of the day seeing first-hand some of the longstanding conservation and anti-poaching initiatives taking place in Kenya, which are supported by Tusk Trust, the charity of which he is Royal Patron. The remainder of this short visit to the country will be private.' Below we see William with the President following their discussion which focused on their joint commitment to wildlife conservation. Richard Palmer reports the Duchess, George and Charlotte will spend Easter with the Middletons. Richard Palmer Twitter Feed *********** Now, time for something fun!
