• BBC Drops Documentary on Royals After Prince Charles's Attorney Gets Involved

    A new documentary called "Reinventing the Royals" has originally been scheduled to premiere on BBC this coming weekend, but because of Prince Charles's overly aggressive legal team, it will likely never see the light of day. Apparently, the royal family originally believed the project was going to take a standard look at how the media and monarchy generally worked together. Instead, the project quickly began to shed light on some of the more sinister actions of the royals, and it is a view they would prefer the general public not have. "Reinventing the Royals" supposedly focuses primarily on the time after Princess Diana's tragic death in 1997. It was when Prince Charles was the least liked or respected by the British people because of his treatment of his ex-wife. He felt it necessary to reinvent himself so the public would see him as a good father to Princes William and Harry. He also wanted to sway the public perception of the woman who came between him and Diana: Camilla Parker-Bowles. Back then, Parker-Bowles was having things thrown at her when she was out in public and Charles's goal was to get people to leave her alone.

  • Kate Middleton Making Anmer Hall Country House Her Main Residence

    When Kate Middleton and Prince William settled into their new apartment at Kensington Palace in September 2013, they had hoped that having their young family based in London would be the best move possible. Instead, it has made them fair game for every member of the royal family who feels like stopping in, and it also has meant that Middleton has been too close to her built-in nemesis Camilla Parker-Bowles. Several months ago, the couple began renovating their country home at Anmer Hall with the intention of making it their primary residence. Rather than having her parenting style under Queen Elizabeth II's daily microscope, Middleton deciding that raising little Prince George in the country with more freedom was in his best interest. Once it was confirmed that the couple was expecting baby No. 2, the need to distance themselves from the chaos of city life became even greater. According to a new report by "People" magazine, Middleton is fully expected to make Anmer Hall her primary residence with her children. While William will certainly be with his young family the majority of the time, he will also likely be stationed out of Kensington Palace for the sake of the family business. Middleton and her brother and sister had a great childhood in the country, and the duchess seems to be determined to give her children a similar kind of upbringing as the one her parents gave her.

  • Kate Middleton Suffers Through Remembrance Sunday Beside Camilla Parker-Bowles

    Now here is something that we have not seen in a while: an appearance with Kate Middleton and Camilla Parker-Bowles in attendance! Clearly, there is absolutely no love lost between these two, and the awkwardness between them as they solemnly stood together for Remembrance Sunday was palpable. Middleton must be feeling a lot better because otherwise that nasty morning sickness would have been a great excuse to avoid this public appearance. Instead, the duchess pulled out her new Alexander McQueen coat, put on her hat and suffered through the event beside her enemy. The rivalry between Middleton and Parker-Bowles is epic and it is basically because Prince William's wife is everything Parker-Bowles will never be. While Middleton was born a commoner, she has been easily accepted into the royal family, but Parker-Bowles's 30-year fling with Prince Charles sat so badly with Queen Elizabeth that even after they finally married her presence is something still barely tolerated by the royals.

  • Kate Middleton Reportedly Staying with Middleton Family While Fighting with Prince William

    Kate Middleton and Prince William always seem so incredibly tight when they show up for a personal appearance that it is easy to forget they are, at root, a normal, married couple. That means they have to inevitably have some fights here and there, right? This cannot be an easy time for them, either. Middleton just started her second trimester of pregnancy and seems to be recovering after weeks of acute morning sickness — plus, she has a busy toddler on her hands. William has been doing royal double-time, taking over some of his wife's missed royal appearances while continuing to carry out his normal duties. Things have reportedly been tense — so tense that the couple has spent a lot of time apart, with Middleton staying with her family.

  • Princess Beatrice Hates Kate Middleton for Stepping on Her Toes — Again

    The royal family is just like any other family out there. There seems to be a bit of a notion that being part of the monarchy means things are easier, when in fact some of the battles that occur behind the scenes are uglier than a Kardashian fight playing out in the media. Usually when we are talking about royal feuds, Camilla Parker Bowles is somehow involved because her long-standing resentment of Kate Middleton is epic, but she is not the only one who cannot stand the duchess. Apparently, Princess Beatrice feels constantly overshadowed by Prince William's wife, and so her comments do not usually reach all the way across the pond.
