The year 1992 was declared by Elizabeth II "annus horribilis"... Thirty years later, 2022 will a fortiori not have been easy.
In any case, not for crowned heads.
In recent months, the British royal family has indeed experienced news rich in twists and (alas) not very encouraging: the death of the Queen of England at Balmoral, the case of Prince Andrew, the explosive documentary of Meghan and Harry.. In short, for the Windsors, it's time for 2023 to bring its consolation prize.

Fortunately, a few events made us smile.
We think in particular of the antics of Prince Louis, 4 years old: on June 2, on the first day of the festivities celebrating the seventy years of reign of Queen Elizabeth II, the youngest of Kate Middleton and Prince William had attracted all eyes and aroused the hilarity of Internet users, by multiplying grimaces and cries of joy on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
What give birth to many memes.
But the year 2022 will also remember Kate Middleton's good-natured rugby training, the birth of the first Romanov since 1917, or even the unborn baby of Louis and Marie Ducruet.
