There are so many layers of feelings to be dealt with concerning the events of 9-11-2001. And, so many lessons to be learned. The Duke and Duchess considered writing some reflective pieces on 9-11, which contradict the usual storyline presented by the media.

The Royal Peace Song for today, September 11, 2011, is “Everybody Hurts” by REM.
