Meanwhile, Princess Anne…

Monday, July 28th, 2008

HRH The Princess Royal was both chastised and praised for wearing a dress that was last seen at the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer.

The still-slender Princess Anne was even wearing the same hat she wore at her brother’s wedding! Naturally the newspapers picked up on this immediately. HRH simply responded that the Queen had brought her up not to be wasteful.

“A good suit goes on forever. If it is properly made and has a classic look you can go on wearing it ad infinitum. Economy is bred into me. My parents believe that things are not to be wasted. That lesson does last.”

Which, along with being able to still fit into a 27-year-old dress, does deserve kudos. I’m finding it hard to fit into things that I wore last year, so I can’t even begin to imagine 27 years. Good on her, I say. It’s not as if the Princess has worn it the last five weddings. Let her live!

Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, has also been noted to wear ‘recycled’ outfits. The dual HRHs are very much aware, I’m sure, that the action of wearing the same outfit, even twice, is a double-edged sword. They are being cost-effective yet fashion declares a new outfit for a different occasion! Either they’re dowdy or they’re spending too much money, down with the monarchy! Boo hiss, etc.

Anyway, Kate Middleton caused another distraction with her pretty outfit and lack of royal boyfriend. Will they be engaged soon? God I hope so. This speculation is killing me.

I Vow To Thee My Crunches?

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

Kate Middleton now has her own gym at Prince William’s Clarence House residence.

To make Kate feel more at home in the London pad, once the residence of his late great-grandmother, William had the gym installed so that she could work out at her leisure.

“Kate has all her things there and asked William and Harry if they would allow her to build a gym,” reveals an unnamed (of course) royal aide.

Looks like there may be wedding bells after all if Kate is this settled. Watch for the engagement announcement after Peter Phillip’s wedding to Autumn Kelly.

William’s Wings

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

Prince William has earned his wings after more than 12 weeks of training. HRH is the fourth generation of the monarchy to become a Royal Air Force pilot, following Prince Charles, Prince Philip, and great-grandfather King George VI.

A series of official photographs of the prince in training was released to mark the occasion, seen at The Monarchist and The Telegraph.

Surprises All Around

Friday, October 12th, 2007

Brandy Navarre of X17online.com has commented on the recent photos of Kate Middleton and Prince William leaving nightclub Boujis. Ms. Navarre said how surprised she was that William and Kate were so hounded by the media. She referred to the treatment of Diana by the paparazzi, and that they should’ve learned a lesson from the Princess’ life and demise.

Now I’m surprised.

How can someone like Brandy Navarre of a celebrity photo site claim shock over the harrassment of public figures like William and Diana? The Princess was, for lack of a better term, their “cash cow” from whom all giant paychecks flowed. Ms. Navarre’s site is one of the typical ferociously fed celebrity photo sites, so why does she honestly think the photographers care? Does she? Not likely.

Kate ‘n’ Wills Together Again?

Sunday, June 24th, 2007

I had a feeling that Kate and William might try to fool the press into thinking they parted ways. It’s being rumored that they are, in fact, back “on”. Interesting….

Is Kate Really Worth The Fuss?

Wednesday, June 6th, 2007

Kate Middleton is still being photographed and talked about in many newspapers and blogs. Is she still relevant, or is she simply riding the royal association for all its worth? Make your opinion known!

Kate & Wills No More

Monday, April 16th, 2007

In a shocking turn of events, Kate and William have broken up. Rumor has it that media intensity caused Kate to flee…. I feel differently however.

All the signs have pointed to “Yes” to an engagement between the two. I think that this break up is a subterfuge to give Kate a little time to breathe - and then an engagement will be announced.

Or has William shown such a lack of interest in marriage that Kate has decided that staying is no longer worth it?

What do you all think? Will they walk up the aisle, or is the idea of “Princess” Kate no more?

Shooting Controversy

Monday, December 4th, 2006

Prince William and his girlfriend, Kate Middleton, have caused a stir among animal rights activists while at a Sandringham shooting party.

At the shoot, Kate was seen laughing and kidding around as William took aim at pheasants. While Kate didn’t do any shooting herself, her carefree nature during the event angered many animal rights people who said they had hoped she “might have talked some sense into William and persuaded him to give up shooting for fun.”
