Prince George shows off his clever thinking skills


Britain's Prince George opened a china cabinet to look for his father after his mother said that he was visiting "China".
The Duchess of Cambridge - who is also known by her maiden name Kate Middleton - and her husband Prince William's 21-month-old son George has proved he's already much smarter than most toddlers after searching for his father in the family's china cabinet upon hearing he was visiting "China".
Claudia Gordon, who owns Naples Luxury Travel Advisors and had lunch with Duchess Catherine and Prince George, said: "[Kate] told me that his daddy, Prince William, was visiting China.
"After hearing this, he went to the china cabinet, opened it and proclaimed, 'Daddy is not there'. She said they would work on his geography."
Claudia also revealed that the Duchess - who is due to give birth to her and Williams' second child later this month - believes George is looking forward to the imminent arrival of his brother or sister.
She told Florida's News-Press: "I asked her if Prince George was excited about the new price or princess that was coming. She said yes and that he is a toddler and is talking and walking."

Duchess of Cornwall selling honey from her garden


Britain's Duchess of Cornwall is selling honey from her garden.
The 67-year-old royal - who celebrated her 10th wedding anniversary with husband Prince Charles last week - is selling honey made by bees in her country garden for £20 per jar.
Camilla is selling the jars of jam through the luxury department store Fortnum & Mason in London.
A statement reads: "Each jar is individually labelled and contains carefully crafted and delicately perfumed nectar with subtle hints of chamomile, making it the ideal accompaniment to ice cream on hot summer days, or for sweetening tea."
Each year the bees will provide the honey for 250 jars, with all proceeds going to a charity close to her heart, Medical Detection Dogs, for which she has been a patron since February last year.
The honeybees live at Duchess Camilla's Wiltshire home, Ray Mill House, which is just a short drive from the Highgrove home she shares with Charles.
Fortnum & Mason CEO Ewan Venters added: "We have four beehives housed on our roof at Piccadilly and a dedicated beekeeper who nurtures and protects our bees to produce incredible honey that is stocked on our shelves. The Duchess' honey is a more than welcome addition, and one I'm certain our customers will love."

Prince Harry to visit Stewart Island and other locations in New Zealand


Britain's Prince Harry is to visit Stewart Island and other locations on his tour of New Zealand next month.
The 30-year-old royal - who announced earlier this year that he is to leave the British Army in June - is to visit Stewart Island, Christchurch, Wellington, Linton, Whanganui and Auckland when he arrives in the country next month.
Prime Minister John Key revealed further details of the prince's upcoming visit today (13.04.15), saying: "An interesting programme is being planned for Prince Harry to try and meet a wide range of New Zealanders in different communities."
The 53-year-old politician added that he's confident Prince Harry will have a "fantastic time" and hopes many New Zealanders will enjoy the opportunity to meet him.
Meanwhile, the flame-haired royal recently revealed he "would love" to live in a remote village after visiting the Aboriginal Australian community of Wuggubun earlier this month as part of his month-long deployment with the Australian defence force.
Community member Barry Trust said Harry "just rocked up" but was a "real delightful chap, very good to talk to".
He added: "We've invited him back again sometime.
"He'd love to - he said he'd love to live out this way, to get away from all the media."

Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to name second child after Sam Waley-Cohen?


Britain's Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are thinking about naming their second child after the jockey Sam Waley-Cohen.
Prince William and his wife Duchess Catherine have reportedly discussed the idea of naming their unborn child Samuel or, if they have a girl, Samantha, after their close friend and jockey Sam, who was once dubbed "The Royal Matchmaker" for helping them to rekindle their romance following their split in 2007.
David Williams, who is a spokesperson for Ladbrokes, said: "With Sam Waley-Cohen's close links to the Royals it seems punters are putting two and two together and coming up with Sam as their answer for the baby's name."
The betting shop is said to have received a flurry of bets on the name after Waley-Cohen's high profile win at the Aintree horse races in Merseyside last week with odds now falling from 66/1 to 20/1.
However, they are not the only bookmakers who have been forced to reduce their odds on the name.
Simon Clare from Coral told the Daily Express newspaper: "We have slashed his odds from 66/1 to 40/1.
"Given how close the Duchess of Cambridge is to Sam Waley-Cohen we are also seeing money for Sam or Samuel at 150/1 and Samantha at 200/1 to be their second baby's name."
Duchess Catherine - who has 21-month-old son Prince George with William - is reportedly expected to give birth to their second child on April 25.

Prince William and Harry tried to trick chef


Britain's Prince William and Prince Harry once tried to trick their chef into cooking them pizza when they were children.
The Duke of Cambridge and his brother Harry are said to have tried to get their personal chef to cook them up a tasty snack by forging a note from their nanny saying they were to have pizza instead of roast chicken but their "juvenile handwriting gave their identity away".
Former Royal chef Darren McGrady admitted he was "more scared of the nanny" than he was of William so he chose to obey her rather than the young princes.
He shared: "They may be royal children, but they still have children's palettes."
McGrady explained that during his 15 years as chef to the Queen and Princess Diana at Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace, the chef of the day would send a list of suggestions to the young royals' nursery for what they should eat and the nanny would then make her choice and a butler would bring the meals down to them.
The former chef explained that the boys were served "traditional, English food" and said William was fond of cottage pies and peas, poached chicken and rice and fish cakes.
He told People magazine of the selection of meals: "Everything a normal British child would have. The only difference is they had a chef cooking it for them."


Lady Louise Windsor and James, Viscount Severn’s first overseas royal engagement


Britain's Lady Louise Windsor and James, Viscount Severn attended their first overseas royal engagement this weekend.
The 11-year-old and seven-year-old royals joined their parents, the Earl and Countess of Wessex on their visit to the Ubunye Foundation, for which Countess Sophie, 50, is patron, during their holiday in South Africa.
The Countess - who married Prince Edward, 51, in 1999 - said: "It's very important for my children to see immediately from the moment that they come to South Africa that it's not just about wonderful, beautiful animals and beautiful scenery.
"That there is a huge need to support, protect and nurture the communities that live around and within these beautiful surroundings."
The charitable organisation, which is based in Grahamstown in the Eastern Cape, works to help rural communities in the region to become self-reliant.
Lucy O'Keeffe - who is director of the foundation - says the Wessexes have long been associated with the Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, whose owners originally established the organisation 13 years ago.
She's reported by the Daily Express newspaper as saying: "We saw this as a very exciting opportunity for us to have an ambassador abroad who could spread the kind of message that we are trying to communicate about development and trying to shift people's perceptions of development in the way that rural communities are viewed."

Princess Eugenie planning US road trips


Britain's Princess Eugenie is planning to go on a "few road trips" around the United States.
The 25-year-old royal was reportedly overheard telling pals Alexa Chung and the Haim sisters her plans for the summer while partying at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California this weekend.
A source shared: "Eugenie was laughing and joking and talked about how she was looking forward to going on a few road trips around the US this year. She also said she'd be going to more festivals including Burning Man in Nevada."
The brunette beauty - who is the younger daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York - was enjoying an afternoon event at The Retreat at Sparrows Lodge in Palm Springs when she was heard speaking about her upcoming holidays.
The source added to The Sun newspaper: "It seemed that life was one long party! It was a surprise to see her at Coachella but she seemed to know lots of people and she and Alexa were acting like best friends.
However, Eugenie - who works for an online auction house in New York - is not the only member of the royal family who likes to travel, as her 26-year-old sister Beatrice has reportedly been on 12 holidays so far this year.
The flame-haired princess is said to have been to Switzerland four times, made two trips to both New York and the Caribbean island St. Barts as well as enjoying vacations in China, Greece and the US ski resort Aspen.

Prince Harry to reunite with Gurkhas


Britain's Prince Harry will reunite with Gurkha soldiers in June.
The 30-year-old prince served alongside many of the soldiers on the frontline in Afghanistan between 2007 and 2008 and will come face-to-face with the Nepalese soldiers at a pageant being held to celebrate 200 years of them serving in the British Army.
Sgt Dipprasad Pun - who served with Harry and on a later tour won a Conspicuous Gallantry Cross for a one-man stand against a Taliban assault - found the prince a "pleasure" to work with.
He added: "All the Gurkhas are really looking forward to seeing him."
Harry's father Prince Charles and grandparents Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip will also attend the pageant, which will be the centrepiece of a string of events being held this summer to mark the occasion.
Harry - who is currently on a month-long secondment with the Australian defence force and will leave the army in June - has previously described the two months he spent on the frontline as some of the happiest times of his life and found the experience "as normal as I'm ever going to get".
At the time, he was made an honorary Gurkha at the time and said there was "no safer place" than next to one of the soldiers.
Gurkhas have served with the British Army since the end of the Anglo-Nepal war in 1814, and nearly 3,000 of their soldiers remain at present.

Royal baby lucky pennies announced


Babies born on the same day as Britain's Prince William's second child will receive a 'lucky' silver penny.
The 32-year-old prince and wife Duchess Catherine - who are already parents to 21-month-old Prince George - are expected to welcome their baby into the world around April 25 and 26 and newborns whose arrivals are registered on The Royal Mint's Facebook page will be eligible to receive one of 2,015 commemorative coins.
The silver coins will be presented in a white box tied with purple ribbon and bearing the image of a silver carousel horse, while the pennies themselves will be minted with the 1p's Royal Shield design and the recently-revealed new portrait of Queen Elizabeth.
Shane Bissett, Director of Commemorative Coin at the Royal Mint said: "The birth of the new royal baby will be a joyous occasion not just for Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge but also for the whole nation, as we prepare to celebrate another remarkable milestone in their life journey together.
"However, it will also be a special day for many mothers and fathers across the country as they too welcome the arrival of their new babies, hence why we wanted to extend this historical moment to them with a unique and timeless gift that can be treasured for years to come."
The Royal Mint will also produce a £5 coin in celebration of the birth.
The queen - the baby's great-grandmother - approved the coin proposal at a meeting of the Privy Council at Buckingham Palace on March 19.
They follow from coins which were issued to mark George's birth almost two years ago.
Then, babies born on July 22, 2013, were eligible to receive lucky silver pennies, while 10,000 solid silver crown-sized £5 coins, which cost £80 each, and 2,013 22-carat gold sovereigns, which cost £800 each, sold out within days of going on sale.
The births of babies born on the same day as the new royal can be registered on Facebook.com/theroyalmint.
