Royal

Britain's Prince Charles has commissioned portraits of D-Day veterans.
The paintings have been displayed at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, Scotland as part of an exhibition titled 'The Last of the Tide'.
In a brochure available to visitors, the heir to the throne writes: "I am delighted to introduce this exhibition of portraits of veterans of the D-Day landings and very much hope that all who see it will share my belief that this wonderful collection of paintings captures the spirit, resolve, warmth and humanity of these remarkable men.
"It seemed to me a tragedy that there were no portraits of D-Day veterans, hence this collection of remarkable old soldiers from the regiments of which my wife and I are Colonel or Colonel-in-Chief."
Meanwhile, veteran Eric Johnstone, who was part of the 4th/7th Royal Dragoon Guards, was pleased that history was being "remembered".
He shared: "I am proud to have served in a victorious British Army and am very conscious of the sacrifice of many of my comrades.
"History should be remembered and I am grateful to The Prince of Wales for commissioning this exhibition."
The 'Last of the Tide' exhibition will run from today (15.01.16) until late March.

Britain's Prince William and Harry caused "quite a bit of mayhem and chaos" when they were growing up.
The eldest grandson of Queen Elizabeth, Peter Phillips, has revealed he and his cousins were troublemakers in their childhood.
He said: "We had a lot of fun and there was a lot of space for kids to run around in and it wasn't just us, it was the Wales' [William and Harry] Freddie and Ella Windsor and the Gloucesters.
"So there was quite a gang of us growing up in that age and it was a lot of fun. We caused quite a bit of mayhem and chaos but fortunately I don't think we broke too much."
The 38-year-old royal admits it was a "little strange" growing up with his grandmother being such a public figure but admitted she has always been and still is a huge "inspiration" in his life.
He added to ITV's Good Morning Britain: "I guess it's a little strange but if you're growing up with that sort of thing, there's never really that moment when you go, 'Oh wow'. We had great fun growing up on our holidays, going to stay with her at Sandringham, Balmoral and Windsor and we were incredibly lucky to be able to share a lot of our childhood time with her.
"She's such an inspiration, not only to the country but to us as a family. You know, her work ethic and her dedication is something that I think the whole family has always inspired to, at least get somewhere near."

Britain's Queen Elizabeth is "feisty", according to Annie Leibovitz.
The acclaimed photographer - who was snapping shots of the 89-year-old royal during the infamous photoshoot in 2007 when it was claimed that she stormed out - insists the reports are completely untrue and that the Queen has a "great sense of duty".
She said: "Oh my god, she's feisty. That was the session that had so much controversy over it. And I said, 'what are you talking about?' I mean, she was just incredible to work with.
"The reality is, she is a woman with a great sense of duty. I mean she not only stayed the entire 25 minutes, 30 minutes, but she waited for me to say I was done. And then I said thank you. And she didn't get up and leave. She's feisty. I mean, it's like photographing your great-aunt or something like that. She has so much energy and so much drive. And she definitely has opinions."
But the thing that Annie, 66, loved most about the Queen was that she did her own hair and make-up on the day.
Speaking to CNN's Christiane Amanpour, she said: "You know what I loved about her most? She does her own hair and make-up."

Britain's Prince William is very "humble".
Declan Linnane was one of the lucky people to chat to the 33-year-old royal when the helicopter he was piloting for the East Anglian Air Ambulance landed at John Henry Newman Catholic School in Stevenage, Hertfordshire earlier this week.
He shared: "Prince William is a very unassuming and humble person. It is the first time I have met a royal, and I found him to be dedicated to his work and family and he is very passionate about young people.
"For the young people who were sitting with him yesterday, they had an opportunity to meet Prince William - it will be a moment in time they will always remember, as it's not every day you meet a future king."
Meanwhile, Declan - who is the headmaster of a nearby school and works closely with Clive Mathew, who leads the school where the Duke of Cambridge visited - recalled the Prince's arrival.
He told the Herts Advertiser: "I was in Stevenage as I work closely with Clive, because we support each other within our sixth form, so I went there for a meeting, and then I went into the dining room for lunch. Three gentlemen, who were wearing high-visibility jackets and fleeces with the words 'pilot' or 'crew' on them, came in.
"They were going to stay for about half an hour, because they were waiting to pick up a doctor and paramedic from previous incidents - there were car accidents around Beds and Herts. I recognised Prince William straight away. He came in, shook hands and then queued up for lunch; he wasn't given any preferential treatment ... I didn't get starstruck to be honest, as we all breathe the same air."

Britain's Queen Elizabeth will host a street party for 10,000 people.
The 89-year-old royal is set to celebrate her 90th birthday this year and will welcome the thousands of guests to The Mall near Buckingham Palace, London for The Patron's Lunch.
Peter Phillips, who is organising the event and also happens to be the Queen's grandson, told the Daily Mail newspaper: "I was very conscious to make sure we did this properly, so we went through the normal channels of approaching the Palace.
"We had to show that this wasn't a case of trying to cut corners because the Queen happens to be my grandmother. I said [to the Queen], 'Oh, by the way you may or may not have heard that we are having conversations with your office about this' ... She said, 'I've heard you're up to something.'"
The Mall is set to be filled with a thousand tables, which seats ten people each, whilst ten thousand chairs will have to be placed down the iconic road individually.
Guests - which will include charities and their guests as well as some lucky members of the public - will dine on refreshments from Marks & Spencer, Pimm's, PG Tips and Wall's whilst they watch on as the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh arrive in their Range Rover.
Organisers have promised a "carnival" style atmosphere, with lots of performances spreading out across the Mall and into the nearby Royal Parks.

Britain's Prince George has caused a sales flurry of a navy quilted coat.
The two-year-old royal was photographed by his mother, the Duchess of Cambridge, as he arrived for his first day at the Westacre Montessori School in King's Lynn, Norfolk, wearing the jacket made by high-street chain John Lewis, and whilst the particular coat has been off the shelves since 2013, parents flocked to the company's website to buy their children something similar.
A spokesperson said: "Within the first two days we saw a 447 per cent increase in enquiries for our Children's Quilted Hooded Jacket in Navy. And that's increased 100 per cent again this week."
And even at just eight-months-old, George's sibling, Princess Charlotte is already a fashion icon. After she was photographed wearing a pink cardigan, children's clothing company Alex and Alexa saw searches for a similar product spike.
Jenny Slungaard, PR Manager for Alex and Alexa, told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: "When it comes to toddlerwear, children are developing a sense of style and often outfit choices will be a combination of the parents and the child's choice.
"With the rise of social media, particularly Instagram, parents are becoming a lot more conscious about what their children wear - as are the kids themselves."

Britain's Prince Harry enjoyed a night out with two of his ex-girlfriends.
The 31-year-old royal was seen leaving the Bunga Bunga nightclub in Battersea, London where Formula One presenter Natalie Pinkham and Astrid Harbord were also in attendance.
The group - which also included the Duchess of Cambridge's brother James Middleton and Princess Eugenie - were celebrating the birthday of Anneke Gilkes.
Meanwhile, the Prince - who is currently single - previously revealed he is in no rush to get married.
When asked if he was "anywhere near settling down" whilst he continued on a trek with the Walking With The Wounded charity, he said: "No. There are a lot of things to get done before settling down. Another seven miles to walk now which I'm not looking forward to... eight! Everyone looks forward to settling down but in the meantime it's work as usual so let's crack on."
And whilst he is waiting for the right girl, he will be happy to babysit his brother, Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge's two children - two-year-old Prince George and eight-month-old Princess Charlotte.
Declan Donnelly, who interview the royal as part of 'When Ant and Dec Met the Prince of Wales: 40 Years of the Prince's Trust', shared: "We talked more about William being a father and whether Harry had babysat. He hadn't, but he will. He promised."

Britain's Prince Charles was given fairy dust.
The unusual present was revealed in a list of official gifts given to the royal family, with the 67-year-old royal and his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, topping the list with the most gifts received in 2015.
The Prince of Wales was handed the fairy dust in a bag from an excited member of the public in New Zealand when he visited the country in November. Other presents for the heir to the throne included a book, a woollen scarf, a glass dish and a wicker basket.
Prince Charles also received a lot of gifts for his grandchildren, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, including a woollen poncho for the eight-month-old girl and a woollen tank top for the two-year-old boy.
Queen Elizabeth was given a host of unusual presents, but most bizarre of them all was a marzipan version of the Berlin monument, the Brandenburg Gate offered to her by the president of Germany, Joachim Gauk.
She also received a framed watercolour of the place where she lived in Malta, Villa Guardamangia, as well as a bag of salt from the British Virgin Islands.
Gifts handed to the royal family are not allowed to be sold or exchanged but perishable items under £150 can be donated to charity or given to staff.

Britain's Prince George is learning to make his own decisions.
The two-year-old son of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge is currently attending Westacre Montessori school in King's Lynn, Norfolk near the family's home in Anmer Hall and is being taught to "do things for himself".
Louise Livingston, the director of training at the Maria Montessori Institute where most of the teachers at the school will have been trained, said: "There is a lot of focus on independence and helping children do things for themselves and make their own decisions and their own choices. They will be encouraging him - right from the minute he walks across the doorstep - to do things for himself."
And Prince George has been put in classes of mixed age groups as there is a "great benefit" for both the younger ones to learn from the older children and for the older kids to learn by helping their younger counterparts.
Louise added to PEOPLE magazine: "The younger children learn by watching the older children and the older ones really benefit by helping the younger children.
"There is great benefit for learning and social behavior in an atmosphere where there's no competition because there is a mixed-age group. Children don't think about what anybody else's age is."
