"Seeing Fred at Wimbledon makes me wonder why you don’t see any other foreign royals there supporting people playing from their countries"

When was the last time we saw the current patron of the Lawn Tennis Association travel to one of the non-British Grand Slams to support a British tennis player?? She certainly could've watched Emma Raducanu play in the 2021 US Open final, for instance.

Not saying Kate should or shouldn't be doing that--and in any case, I'm not sure the current batch of British players have reached many Grand Slam finals recently--but why hold foreign royals to a different standard than Kate??

what's to say the original person didn't also include catherine in that comment?

also let's not kid ourserves here, if she were to travel to freaking new york or rolland garros for A TENNIS MATCH she'd be dragged like no tomorrow. foreign royals can get away with certain things that the BRF can't and like previously discussed, Fred only works 6 days a month he has the time to attend these things

Princess of Wales - 2022 Statistics (FULL YEAR)

In 2022, the new Princess of Wales completed (by my count) 168 engagements, around 53 more than the amount of engagements she completed by my count in 2021 and 39 more than 2020. As well as this, she was sighted (or appeared) 16 times and appeared in a whopping 26 official (or unofficial and leaked!) photographs.

She gained four new patronages throughout the year and finished with 25 patronages. Of her 168 engagements, 67 were related to one of her patronages, averaging at one patronage visit every 0.39 engagements. Her most visited patronage was, of course, the Royal Foundation of the Prince and Princess of Wales (formerly, the Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge), with 46 visits. This was followed by the Lawn Tennis Association and the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (with 3 visits). She performed no engagements on behalf of The Air Cadet Organisation, the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families, Evelina London Children’s Hospital (she unofficially visited the hospital during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations), Family Action (she supported them in an article in Good Housekeeping), the Forward Trust, the National Portrait Gallery (her birthday portraits were released in conjunction with the NPG), the Natural History Museum, Place2Be, the Royal Photographic Society, the Scouts, or the Victoria & Albert Museum.

Of her engagements, 64 have been solo and 73 accompanied by her husband, the Prince of Wales. Five were also with either Prince George or Princess Charlotte, five with a range of foreign royals (including the two in Denmark), as well as 20 with either the whole or most of the working British Royal Family (note: some of the events with foreign royals also included a lot of members of the British Royal Family), and one with one other solo royal (the Princess Royal).

105 of her engagements physically took place in England, with all bar 48 physically occuring in the United Kingdom (with none in the Republic of Ireland). Of the 105 engagements which took place in England, 70 occured in London. Catherine's engagements also took her to 19 other areas of the UK. Only 7 were online or via telephone. Catherine also performed engagements in Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Catherine also undertook a working trip to Denmark, a tour of the Caribbean (which saw her visit Belize, Jamaica and the Bahamas), and an official visit to Boston in the USA.

During the year, she performed engagements on a variety of themes. 32 of those engagements were predominantly related to her Early Years initiative, while 15 were linked to culture and 13 linked to sports. Due to the return of overseas trips, State Visits, and the death of HM Queen Elizabeth II, 35 engagements were diplomatic in nature. 10 engagements were on the theme of mental health, while she also completed 9 engagements linked to children and young people, 7 linked to the military, 5 linked to Covid-19, 3 linked to the outdoors, and 1 which was specifically linked to the Commonwealth. Catherine also completed 38 engagements which could not otherwise be categorised.

Clotheswise, her most worn designer has been Alexander McQueen, with 25 outfits, followed by 10 outfits from Catherine Walker, while 18 items of clothing were unidentified. Her most carried bag designer was Mulberry (12), followed by Emmy London with 9, and 5 which were unidentifed. Mulberry has been her most carried bag designer in every year apart from 2020. Her most worn shoe designer returned to being Gianvito Rossi (with 37 wears), followed by 11 pairs from Emmy London, and 6 from both Rupert Sanderson and Jimmy Choo. Gianvito Rossi was her most worn shoe designer in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. Despite Kiki McDonough creeping back into her earring rotation (with 18 wears), Catherine predominantly wore pieces inherited from either Diana (20) or the Queen (19). Aside from them, she also wore Annoushka jewellery 11 times. When it comes to accessories, she continued to wear face masks from Amaia Kids (5 times), although the return of hats meant her top accessories designer was Philip Treacy. She also wore 8 unidentified pieces. According to my (100% wrong) calculations - created from my own criteria (where items are counted each time she wears them), she wore £109,654.98 worth of new clothes this year and £271,423.79  worth of clothes in total.

Exploring Immersive Internet: Real-World Applications and User Demographics

The phrase "immersive internet" describes the next development in the online space! It is about creating experiences that are more engaging and supportive of group collaboration and shared engagement than static web pages, photos, and videos.  There’s no doubt that it will make use of technologies like Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR).

Does it mean the Metaverse? Well, you can call it if you want! 

Businesses and consumers have benefited from a shift toward easier and more personal interactions with technology since the invention of the first computer. Gradually, businesspeople with PCs and, more lately, mobile and wearable technology replaced professors with punch cards. This has caught the eye of investors, to provide startup investments to companies that bring out incredible innovations. 

Technologists are now realizing that screens cannot continue to get smaller, thus the paradigm is once more changing in favor of interfaces that allow us to pass through glass and enter immersive virtual environments, such as the metaverse! 

Through the Glass: Real-World Applications for An Immersive Experience 

Promoters and Plussers

Many investors are now paying a keen eye to startups that integrate immersive internet for companies when it comes to startup funding. Businesses that have promoted their goods and services mostly on the current internet will probably still do so in the metaverse. Many companies like Meta Alliance have unique concepts surrounding the Metaverse! 

For some businesses, it provides a chance to enhance, or "plus," existing offerings in ways unique to the immersive web. "Plussers" can profit from the current metaverse interest without having to completely rethink their business strategy, similar to restaurants that used the web to complete delivery orders during the pandemic. 

A classic example is the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) of the United Kingdom, which hosts Wimbledon each year, and has enhanced its brand by integrating AR messages into tennis ball canisters. Players receive a customized AR message, either encouraging them to practice more or inviting them to an event, after scanning a QR code (Deloitte, 2022).

It is anticipated that the global market for metaverse advertising will expand significantly. Thus, the market value will have reached US$1.6 billion by 2023 (Statista, 2022).

Geographically speaking, investors seeking to provide startup investments in immersive internet are eyeing countries like the United States (US) as it is anticipated to produce the largest market volume. It is expected to have a market value of US$532.7 million by 2023, making it a leading participant in the Metaverse Advertising sector. Hence, it is expanding quickly on a global scale, with China and the US setting the bar for innovation and uptake!

Enterprise Simulation 

Top-line growth is not the exclusive goal of the metaverse!

In capital-intensive industries like aviation, virtual testing grounds can lower the cost of development. For instance, to enhance quality above 70%, Airbus and Boeing are both building digital twins of new aircraft and arming their mechanics with AR headsets.15 (Johnson and Hepher, 2021). 

The automotive sector will use Metaverse in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa (Metaverse market, 2022). Hence, the startup funding obtained by the automotive industry will also enhance with the help of immersive internet! 

Personalized Experience 

Many businesses and investors are looking to immersive technologies like AR and VR to offer scalable, intuitive, and streamlined personalized learning and collaboration experiences. Companies with such technologies have gained the potential of investors for startup investments. 

Improved training effectiveness can result from these solutions' capacity to deliver more accurate statistics on participation rates, the amount of time learners spend in classes, and the steps they find difficult. 

Exelon, the biggest utility in the US, is an excellent example of how implementing VR training has greatly benefited the company. 

Similarly, using immersive internet for education or training has now been employed across the globe. Based on these forecasts, the global Metaverse Education market has tremendous room to develop. With their platforms and immersive educational opportunities, nations like China and the US are setting the standard for the global metaverse education sector.

Conclusion

Technology-user interaction is expected to shift from discrete digital realities to ambient computing, where people can look up from their gadgets and see a reality that seamlessly integrates with technology. The modern internet may frequently be a dangerous, unfriendly, and discriminating environment. Thus, prioritizing the integration of such technologies accurately and safely will help businesses gain startup funding. Considering the potential economic impact of immersive internet, many companies in platforms like EquityMatch have committed to utilizing technology's development in a way that upholds value and fosters trust.

The LTA Wimbledon Tennis Championship is almost upon us, I believe it starts on Monday 28th June 2021.

Her Majesty The Queen was patron of the Lawn Tennis Association from 1952 to 2016. The first two photographs show The Queen at the then new (2007) National Tennis Centre in Roehampton, west London. The photographs do not accurately show how big the top tennis stars are... I swear that when I first went behind the scenes at Wimbledon,all the players were at least 8 feet tall!

HRH The Duchess of Gloucester (3rd photograph) is a lesser known, hard-working Royal who is now President of the LTA, and the Duchess of Cornwall became the Patron in 2017.
