Royal

Queen Letizia unveiled a new 'do on Wednesday (07.01.16). The Spanish monarch has developed something of a reputation as being one of the country's top trendsetters when it comes to her hairstyles. And as she kicked off 2016 with her first official...

Prince George's first day at nursery "went well", according to royal sources.
The adorable tot, who turns two-and-a-half later this month, started the Westacre Montessori school in King's Lynn, Norfolk on Wednesday (06.01.16).
His mother, the Duchess of Cambridge, turned photographer to capture the little boy's journey into the school.
Wearing a padded blue coat and blue backpack, George looked excited as he headed inside, stopping to point at a colourful mural outside the property.
A source told Hello! magazine of George's start at the school: "He's going to be attending part time for a handful of hours per day. Both the Duke and Duchess dropped him off today and it seems all went well."
The Duke and Duchess drove George to the school from their Norfolk home, Anmer Hall.
The nursery costs just £33 a day, £5.50 an hour, and is housed in a former chapel.
After it was announced last month that George would be attending Westacre, a spokesperson for the school said: "We are looking forward to welcoming George to our nursery where he will get the same special experience as all of our children."
The Duke and Duchess are parents to George and daughter Charlotte.
In a recent interview, Prince William spoke about how his life has been changed by becoming a father.
On 'When Ant and Dec Met The Prince: 40 Years of the Prince's Trust' earlier this week, William said: "I'm a lot more emotional than I used to be. I never used to get too wound up or worried about things.
But now the smallest little things, you well up a little more, you get affected by the sort of things that happen around the world or whatever, a lot more, I think, as a father. Just because you realise how precious life is and it puts it all in perspective."

Norway's Princess Ingrid Alexandra will carry the Olympic Torch for the Lillehammer 2016 Opening Ceremony.
The royal will be joined by Winter Olympic gold medallist Marit Bjørgen as the pair have the prestigious task of carrying the torch for the occasion, on February 12 at the Lysgårdsbakkene Ski Jumping Arena.
She will be following in the footsteps of her father Crown Prince Haakon, who had the same task back in 1994.
Marit said of the honour: "I am really looking forward to February 12, and I am nervous and excited."
In addition, Marit will be given the chance to take part in a story-telling part of the Opening Ceremony of the Winter Youth Olympic Games.
She added: "I am not used to performing in Ceremonies like these, but I am proud to be able to participate in the Opening Ceremony of the Youth Olympic Games.
"In the play, I work as an inspiration to the young boy. Being a good role model for young athletes means a lot to me.
"I hope and believe that the most important thing in the Youth Olympic Games is that athletes from many different countries come together, get to know each other and do what they like best, namely sports.
"The results in the Games are, in my opinion, of less importance."

Princess Mary looked stunning in ivory at Denmark's New Year's Diplomatic Reception on Tuesday night (05.01.16). The 43-year-old royal, who was born in Australia, wowed in a full-length gown which was both simple and elegant. She added some interes...

Prince Charles' wife has revealed how proud she is to be married to the royal.
Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, wed the Prince of Wales in April 2005 and opened up about their relationship during an interview on 'When Ant and Dec Met the Prince: 40 Years of the Prince's Trust'.
After going to see the work of the Prince's Trust in action, Camilla said: "I left with a huge lump in my throat.
"I'm really proud to be married to somebody who aged 27 had the vision to put it together. It was an incredible idea then, and he was very young then to think of it, to think of these very disadvantaged young people who'd literally been through hell and back. And to find a way to give them a second chance in life."
Charles founded the trust back in 1976, and has gone on to help hundreds of thousands of people through the organisation.
Referring to Charles' motivation in life, Camilla added: "He just has that energy. If we are passionate about something, you can do it. He care so much bout these young people.
"He does have incredible energy ... He loves it, you can't do something unless you love it."

A teenager awarded with the Queen's Prize says Queen Elizabeth is "relaxed and friendly".
Sam Sanders was presented with the prestigious prize after achieving incredible results for his A-level exams - three A* and an A - at Springwood High School.
He started at Oxford University studying philosophy, politics and economics.
The 18-year-old, from Norfolk, was invited to the monarch's country estate of Sandrigham where he met the Queen herself.
Sam was also presented with a copy of 'The Complete Works of William Shakespeare', which had also been signed by Queen Elizabeth.
Recalling meeting the monarch, who he spent around 10 minutes with, Sam told the Norfolk Eastern Daily Press: "We talked about Springwood and Oxford and my results. She was very relaxed, friendly and easy to talk to. I also saw one of her corgis."
Sam was accompanied by his parents Grant and Allison Sanders for the presentation.
Allison added to the outlet: "It was lovely and the Queen was lovely. We are very proud of Sam."
After the A-level results were revealed in August 2015, Springwood's Executive Headteacher Andy Johnson said: "I congratulate all of the students and staff for these excellent results. The Sixth Form team has the highest expectations for every student and works tirelessly to ensure that every student achieves outstanding grades and secures their 'first choice' future."

Prince William shocked the world with his foul-mouthed language during an interview on Monday night (04.01.16).
The 33-year-old royal was chatting as part of 'When Ant and Dec Met the Prince: 40 Years of the Prince's Trust'.
But a storm was caused on the Internet when he swore during one segment of the programme.
While he described letters he used to receive from his father, Prince Charles, during his time at Eton, William explained that he and his brother Prince Harry often struggled to make sense of the handwritten notes but worried they might contain a "b*****king" from their dad.
Prince Charles is known for his bad handwriting, meaning his letters to Government Ministers are nicknamed "black spider memos".
William and Harry also revealed their father has always shunned the idea of modern technology, much preferring the old-fashioned letter as a means of communication.
Recalling how Charles often stays up late writing letters, William explained: "As it gets later in the evening, when it's about 12 o'clock he's writing letters, we can tell instantly because it starts going off the page when he's falling asleep."
Harry added: "At school we regularly swapped letters and said "I think I know what it says can you read it to me?"'
William then laughed: "Just in case it was a b*****king we didn't know about!"

Princess Sofia and Prince Carl Philip were spotted looking at the perfect pram to buy ahead of the birth of their first child.
The Swedish royal couple were seen looking at the supplies in a baby store in Skane county, Sweden, over the Christmas holidays.
A shopper saw the couple in the shop and asked them for a picture, to which the pair happily obliged.
Sofia, who is thought to be around six months pregnant, clad her growing bump in a grey woolly cardigan and glowed as she smiled for the camera alongside her husband and the fan, Alva Lennwall.
Speaking about seeing the royal pair, Alva told local paper Expressen: "I was so surprised. I saw that they were looking at the prams."
Sofia, 31, and her 36-year-old spouse purchased several items in the shop, but the store owner refused to disclose exactly what they were.
Carl Philip and Sofia married in June 2015 and shortly afterwards announced they were expecting a baby in April 2016.
Sofia appears to be coping well so far with the pregnancy, admitting she feels "great". She also told a reporter that she and her husband aren't planning on finding out the baby's gender before the birth.
She said: "It'll be a surprise!"

The Queen Mother's favourite garden at Prince Charles' Scottish home Birkhall has been destroyed by floods.
The Prince of Wales has invested 14 years into restoring the gardens at his property in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
But after Storm Frank caused chaos in the UK, particularly in the north and Scotland, the majority of Birkhall's greenery has been washed away by floods.
The rest of it is underwater.
During a visit to the town of Ballater in Aberdeenshire last week, Charles told butcher John Sinclair that the garden had been "devastated" after the River Dee broke its banks following the storm.
While he added that the destroyed garden was "the least of his worries" and that his concerns lay with the people and businesses most affected by the floods, sources close to the royal said he has found the loss of the garden "personally distressing".
It was made more so by the fact that the garden was the favourite of Charles' grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth, when she used Birkhall as her summer residence.
A source close to the prince told the Telegraph newspaper: "All that work of the past 14 years or a lot of it is destroyed. A lot of repair work is needed.
"While it is personally distressing, it is the least of his concerns. The prince is being kept personally updated about flooding in the whole of the country and is looking at ways he can help both now and in the future."
