Royal

Britain's Prince Philip joked he was the "world's most experienced plaque unveiler" as he visited military barracks in Wiltshire.
The 94-year-old royal was on hand to officially open a £230 million military training facility at the newly-refurbished MoD Lyneham.
Revealing the plaque during the ceremony, he told the gathered crowd: "I hope you realise what you're about to see now is the world's most experienced plaque unveiler in action."
During the tour, trainees demonstrated their skills to the Duke of Edinburgh.
Major Rebecca Macklin shared to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "He had a lot of interest in our training programme and the facilities we have. It's really the best you can get anywhere in the world. We have a state-of-the-art Man engine truck simulator - which can be programmed with various faults which trainees have to try and find and repair.
"The new training battalion is fantastic because it brings together two different units from Arborfield and Bordon under one roof. His Highness was really impressed and everyone was surprised by how chatty he was. We didn't expect for him to spend the amount of time talking to us as he did. He had lots of questions about where people were from and their training."

Britain's Prince William is a fan of 'Pimp My Ride'.
The 33-year-old royal revealed he enjoys watching the MTV show during a visit to youth charity XLP and joked he wanted to take the police van-turned-mobile recording studio, that featured on the programme, home with him.
When he and the Duchess of Cambridge were handed a few gifts by the young people who use the charity, the Duke joked: "Do we get the van? I want the van."
Meanwhile, during the visit to the centre - which mentors young people in London to help them overcome problems - the royal couple heard from Sefton Henry, 27, who has turned his life around and is now helping police officers deal with gangs.
Of his own experiences, he shared: "I'm an ex-gang member. I spent, like 19 years or 18 years in it. I have been in prison seven different times. I've been shot at. I've been stabbed. I've been bricked, I've been bottled, I've been run over.
"Another thing I didn't have was a father figure, a role model, someone to say to me what was right."
Patrick Regan was inspired to set up XLP after taking part in youth work at a school.
He explained: "I remember meeting a kid who wore a bullet proof vest under his school uniform and he said: 'I'll be dead by next week'. He got stabbed through the neck six weeks later. He survived.
"I met a 14-year-old girl who said her biggest aim in life was to be a‎ single mum. So I found 17 people to give me £25 per month and I started XLP."

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, has been hailed as a feminist.
The royal was praised by author Kathy Lette for taking on a number of causes that champion women's rights at a reception at Clarence House this week.
Kathy said: "Camilla is a feminist, you can tell by the causes she supports.
"She surrounds herself with strong women, strong female friends. She's earthy, she's witty, she's wise and deliciously self-deprecating.
"I don't know that she calls herself a feminist, but her behaviour is certainly of one. I would say she is a feminist, for sure."
Camilla is President of the Women of the World (WOW) Festival, which celebrates the achievements of females all over the world.
WOW founder Jude Kelly, also praised the royal, saying: "We know that it's not been easy for women in the public domain, particularly, with the ferocious spotlight on them, to talk about subjects frankly.
"But look at our president, look at what she speaks about and how she speaks about it. She takes no prisoners."

One of Duchess Catherine's favourite jewellery designers got her start from the Prince's Trust.
Elizabeth Galton, who leads the creative team at Mappin & Webb, has praised Prince Charles' charity for allowing her to pursue her dream and revealed she is now giving back by mentoring two young people via the trust.
She told PEOPLE: "For any young entrepreneurs, particularly young creative, it's enormously difficult for them to get any kind of backing or seed funding whether that's from banks or investors.
"In previous generations, particularly working class backgrounds, there was a real sense of community and love and nurture from parents. A lot of people don't have that now and perhaps come from a one-parent home or are struggling with difficult problems, like drug abuse or alcohol, and they feel the world is against them. The trust gives them a lifeline so they can see that they have potential.
"And this is all from an idea that was sown 40 years ago. It's quite extraordinary what it has grown into."
Elizabeth met with Prince Charles and his mother Queen Elizabeth this week and said that the Queen asked about her design work while Charles "was interested in the mentoring work that I do. He understands that it takes a lot of investment in terms of time that needs to be dedicated".

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are determined to help tackle the stigma of suicide.
Prince William and Duchess Catherine, who have both campaigned to raise awareness of mental health issues, met with survivor Jonny Benjamin and the man who helped save his life, Neil Laybourn, in London on Thursday (10.03.16) where they spoke about their dedication to the cause.
William said: "Someone told me five people a day try to kill themselves. I was just blown away by the statistics.
"For both of us, the mental health piece has got lots of aspects. It's such a big issue that we need to do something about it.
"We feel it's been raised higher up the ladder. It's suddenly bubbling just under the surface. Now we need to get up to the next level, to the surface."
And Catherine, who has been raising awareness of mental health issues in children believes that many problems adults face begin in childhood.
She said: "We see through the work that we do with addiction, homelessness and knife crime that a lot of it stems back to childhood."

Queen Elizabeth is "just like any other mother".
The 89-year-old monarch has four children - Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward - with her husband Prince Philip and although she is not demonstratively affectionate, her cousin Margaret Rhodes says the Queen is a very proud and loving mother.
She told the Daily Mail: "She always talks quite a lot about her children and worries about them like any other mother.
"They are not arms out and cuddly people, really. They are not lovey-dovey. But they mind a lot about each other, even if they don't show it. The thing is, they've been brought up not to show publicly what they're feeling."
And a royal source reflected on how down-to-earth the Queen was with her children when they were young, getting them to make their own beds while she cooked their dinner.
The insider said: "The Queen is a good mother, but the life she has had to lead has meant she couldn't be quite the mother she wanted to be.
"I remember when Charles and Anne were quite small and the Queen would take them away to Balmoral and she would get them to make their own beds and help with the washing up. She cooked the supper - they loved bangers and hot spuds.
'These were magical times, full of fun and love. She was much closer to the children than Charles gives her credit for. True, she didn't run to the children and sweep them up as Princess Diana did, but they were different times."

Britain's Prince William has been praised for his caring nature.
The royal was flying the air ambulance helicopter which was called to a nursery in Essex last month after youngster Luke Sawyer suffered a peanut allergy and Luke's mother has praised William for keeping Luke calm by making him a puppet out of a surgical glove.
Luke's mother Donna told the Daily Mirror: "We thought it was a really touching thing for Prince William to do as it really took Luke's mind off everything that was going on.
"He works really hard and went beyond the call of duty to put Luke at ease.
"When it was time for him to go back to school he asked me to put it in the boot of the car because he was scared it might fly away.
"Luke is only a couple of months older than Prince George as well which I think he quite likes.
"He keeps making us google Prince William to show him pictures and even since then he has idolised him."
William - who has children Prince George, two and Princess Charlotte, 10 months, with his wife Duchess Catherine - works 20 hours a week with the East Anglian Air Ambulance and donates his salary to charity.
Donna added: "All the staff who helped to look after Luke were brilliant. Everyone at the hospital, the doctors on the ambulance and Prince William himself - I want to say thank you."

Prince William has "the best bits" of both of his parents.
The royal's grandmother Queen Elizabeth is proud of the man he has grown up to be and sees both his mother Princess Diana and his father Prince Charles in him.
A source told the Daily Mail: "The Queen sees in him the best bits of Diana but also of Charles."
And William, 31, also reminds the Queen of her own husband, Prince Philip.
The insider explained: "In William, she sees so much of what Philip was - headstrong, certainly, and on the snappy side, with a short fuse, but fundamentally a young man who needs his independence for as long as possible - just like Prince Philip.
"At certain times, William, with his broad shoulders and the way he holds himself, even looks like his grandfather.
"And when she sees flashes of Philip, too, it makes her feel very confident about the future."
While William has recently been blasted for his small number of royal duties, the Queen has actually sanctioned his smaller role in order to ensure he and his wife Duchess Catherine "have as they need to be close to their children while they are small".
The monarch wants to make sure that William and Catherine's children Prince George, two and Princess Charlotte, 10 months, are settled before William increases his royal duties.

Britain's Queen Elizabeth admires the Middleton family.
The 89-year-old monarch has fostered a warm relationship with Carole and Michael Middleton, the parents of Duchess Catherine, and is a fan of their self-made success with their children's party supplies company, Party Pieces.
Dickie Arbiter, the Queen's former Press Secretary, told the Daily Mail: "The Queen would like Carole and Michael because they epitomize people who have made a success of their lives. They didn't get a handout, they had to work hard. The Queen would also like the fact that they demonstrate the strength of the family unit."
And Queen Elizabeth even invited the Middletons to spend a long weekend at Sandringham with her and Prince Philip, during Catherine's 34th birthday celebrations earlier this year.
A source said: "The Queen knew how much it would mean to William to have his in-laws as her guests. She wants to help him while she can, and the Middletons are nice people. And with William so close to them she firmly believes that for him to make a success of the Monarchy they have to be welcomed in."
