• Beatles Drummer Ringo Starr Is Now A Knight

    Beatles drummer Ringo Starr has been appointed as a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire. His band mate, Paul McCartney, also received the same recognition years ago.
  • Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Had Tea with Kate Middleton and Prince William

    Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie grabbed headlines earlier this week because of rumors that their ten year romance has hit a pretty rocky patch but they are certainly wrapping up the week on a high note. For the first time ever the Hollywood heavyweights were able to arrange a meeting with a totally different kind of power couple, the royals! On Friday, Pitt and Jolie were invited to have tea with Prince William and Kate Middleton. It was an offer that they couldn't refuse and it seems that both couples were really excited about the meeting.
  • Prince Charles Claims That Princess Charlotte is a Much Easier Baby Than George Was

    Can you believe that Princess Charlotte is already six weeks old? Of course, in the days since her birth we have heard precious little about how Kate Middleton, Prince William and little Prince George have adjusted to the new royal arrival. Just as when George was born nearly two years ago, the family has been pretty private while adjusting to their new normal. Of course the media wants any info available on Charlotte and thankfully, her doting grandfather, Prince Charles has offered up a bit of information.
  • Will Kate Middleton Name New Daughter After Princess Diana?

    Didn't it seem like Kate Middleton was pregnant forever this time around? It's probably because we all spent six months speculating on whether or not she was pregnant again before she actually did conceive her second child. We now know that Middleton safely delivered a daughter at 8:34 a.m. London-time this morning and that all is well for mother and daughter. A name has yet to be announced, leaving royal watchers to place bets on the possibilities, with many wondering if this child will be named after Princess Diana.
  • Kate Middleton Does Not Know Gender of Second Child - Insiders Confirm

    As Kate Middleton's due date with baby number two quickly approaches, royal watchers are on edge and news crews are no doubt gearing up to station themselves outside of Kensington Palace for days on end. Some details are being confirmed by the palace, such as the fact that Middleton's official due date is April 25 and she will once again deliver at St. Mary's Hospital in London. We also know that Prince William is scheduled to work right up until Middleton goes into labor and so there's a chance that he will have to drive a few hours to join her at the hospital. But what about the gender of baby number two? Is it a girl, as has been widely speculated?
  • Kate Middleton Skipped Mother's 60th Birthday Party Amid Rift Rumors

    It has been a while since we have even mentioned Kate Middleton. The Duchess of Cambridge is now seven months pregnant with baby No. 2 and her public appearances are becoming fewer and farther apart. We do know that she crammed in some work a few weeks ago before leaving to spend two weeks in Mustique on the Middleton family's annual trip. It was intended to be a bit of a "baby-moon" for Middleton and Prince William, and they were also expected to celebrate her mother Carole Middleton's 60th birthday. Unfortunately, when it came time to party, the couple skipped it amid rumors of a rift.
  • Kate Middleton Reportedly Expecting Girl to Be Named 'Diana'

    We have not heard too much about Kate Middleton in the last several weeks, have we? We do know that she recently returned from the yearly vacation her entire family takes to Mustique and will be heading back to work in a few days. Several sources are also reporting that Middleton has been busy decorating the nursery for her first daughter, whose arrival is expected in April. Not only is she reportedly expecting a girl, but she and her husband will probably name her "Diana."
  • 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.
  • Rash in Bets Made Bookmakers Think Queen Elizabeth II May Abdicate Throne on Christmas

    Where there is smoke, there is usually fire. At least, that is the thinking that prompted a popular British bookmaker to suspend betting on the notion that Queen Elizabeth II will announce that she is abdicating the throne during her Christmas Day speech. Apparently, a rash of bets were rolling in, leading Coral to initially offer odds of 10-1 that Elizabeth was about to hand over power. Then they suspected that maybe a tip had come from Buckingham Palace, leading to the sudden spike, and so they suspended betting altogether. As for whether or not Elizabeth actually is ready to shift power over to either Prince Charles or Prince William, sources say it is not happening. The queen signed on for a lifetime of serving the British people, and that is how she intends to spend her final days right to the end. While it is the palace's official policy not to comment on anything connected to bookmakers, it is worth noting that Elizabeth has never addressed any kind of personal matters during her Christmas Day message and this year's has already been recorded. Queen Elizabeth's health has been failing for the last few years, but no serious diagnosis has ever been made public. We simply have heard that old age is causing her body to slow down, but in day-to-day life the queen is still quite hands-on with the family business. Given that fact, it makes sense that she would be more inclined to hang on to power until her last breath.
  • Kate Middleton, Prince William Give Us Early Christmas Gift: New Pics of Prince George

    Part of the appeal of Kate Middleton and Prince William seems to be the fact that the media and fans alike seem to believe them when they say they just want a normal life. Statements like that are not directly followed by weird, two-block walks with Prince George meant for the paparazzi to get a couple photos to leak. Instead, they work when they have to and steer clear of the spotlight the rest of the time. Prince George tends to be off limits and even if a member of the press could grab a shot of him it seems unlikely it would be sold out of respect for the royals. It is because of that that Middleton and William have released a few new photos of their son. The shots were reportedly taken by "a member of the household staff" on the stairs on Kensington Palace. The last time we saw Prince George was for his birthday in July, and boy has he grown. No longer a baby, George is a toddler on the go. Perhaps the best part of the new photos is the fact that they capture his personality. You can tell that this kid is a fun handful and he must be giving his pregnant mom a real run for it. What are your thoughts on the way Middleton and William have opted to shield their son from the press? He is only a few weeks younger than North West, so just think of how many times she has been carted to inappropriate events — like NYFW — as the perfect accessory to whatever Kim Kardashian is wearing. Her daughter has been photographed like crazy, but have we ever actually seen North West smile in any of those shots? It looks like Prince George is the happier kid, don't you think?
