Like millions of other people across the world, Prince William and Kate Middleton are getting ready for the Christmas festivities. The royal family will, as is custom, spend the holiday season at their Sandringham home, but this will be the first year they will do so without their beloved Queen Elizabeth.
Following their return from the US last week, William and Kate were able to see their kids again. Nevertheless, despite the family joy, Harry and Meghan’s new documentary has cast quite a shadow on the Royal Family, with fresh allegations and information emerging.
Even though it’s a joyful time of year, William and Kate are once more in sadness. The royal family has apparently learned devastating news about another tragic passing just a few months after the Queen passed away.
As Christmas gets near, Prince William and Kate Middleton have a lot on their plates. Even though they will undoubtedly receive assistance with holiday-related tasks, the royal couple will nonetheless be expected to complete a number of them on their own. During the holiday season, royal duties are very active. The couple recently left the UK for their first trip to the US since 2014.
The royal family has been lamenting Her Majesty’s death for months. The family will definitely continue to grieve and remember Queen Elizabeth even after the period of mourning is ended and everyone has returned to work.
William and Kate Middleton have, regrettably, just made another terrible announcement.
The Prince and Princess of Wales informed that their close friend Mark Jenkins sadly perished in a plane crash via their official Twitter account. Jenkins also perished in the collision, which happened as Mark was flying above Kenya’s Tsavo National Park. On Thursday around 11 a.m., a fixed-wing Cessna Sky Wagon crashed.
Prince William and pilot Mark Jenkins first connected during the latter’s gap year and have remained close friends ever since.
“Mark Jenkins and his son Peter tragically perished while conducting an aerial patrol over Tsavo National Park. I’m thinking of Mark’s wife, family, and coworkers tonight as they mourn the loss of a man we all revered and loved, the speaker continued.
Following the crash, an investigation has been opened. According to early reports, they were attempting to eject goats, cows, and other animals from the park.
Teams from the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (DSWT) and the Kenya Wildlife Service are on the scene to look into the crash’s causes, according to a statement.
The families of the deceased are sent a message from KWS expressing their condolences and sincere sorrow.
According to Mirror, a memorial from the Frankfurt Zoological Society stated that Mark was a lifetime environmentalist and skilled bush pilot who devoted his career to preserving wildlife in some of East Africa’s most well-known national parks.
“Mark was passionate, principled, and strong-willed; he was never hesitant to express his opinions or to stand up for his convictions. He had a strong presence and left a lasting impression everywhere he went.
“Those of us who worked alongside him remember him for his dedication, thoughtfulness, energy, his mischievous smile, and his great love of wildlife and wild places,” the statement read.
