The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have thanked the Falkland Islands Government and the people of the Falkland Islands for their recent wedding gifts.

In a letter to FIG London Representative Sukey Cameron, St James’s Palace said that the couple was delighted to become the adoptive parents of two King Penguins. They said it was a kind and original gift for which they were very grateful.

Their Royal Highnesses also said how touched they were that the Falklands Government sent such a generous donation in support of Service personnel and their families, which is among the charities to benefit from their gift fund. They said it was so kind to think of them in this way.

The Duke and Duchess sent the Government and people of the Falkland Islands their warmest thanks and very best wishes.

    “the couple was delighted to become the adoptive parents of two King Penguins”
    Argentinean King penguins are smarter than Charles.

    and who's paying for this “wedding gift”? The British taxpayers, but ahh, don't mind the austerity measures, let them bent over and work harder, those peasants love their “German” royal family, they must go to their land.

    Queen of bad teeth (Isolde) Yeah, it's mine land, it's mine land, it's mine, it's mine...lol..idiot. look forward for more reactions from those bad teeth blowhards.

    note. the ones from my country are also Germans, but what do I care. They don't get a dime from me.
