Cressida Bonas out of Prince Harry’s ‘league’


Cressida Bonas is now out of Britain's Prince Harry's "league", according to her friend Katie Glass.
The 25-year-old beauty - who split from the 30-year-old royal last year - has been linked to a role in 'Downton Abbey' and is no longer interested in Harry, according to her pal.
Katie said: "You could almost feel sorry for Harry - Cressida is out of his league now.
"And as if being dumped by someone who is hotter and could become more famous than you isn't crushing enough for a mere mortal, imagine the pain for a royal boy bred to believe such a thing is impossible."
Cressida recently wrapped on her first big movie role in 'Tulip Fever' alongside Dame Judi Dench and is also the new face of Mulberry and Katie says she's now in high demand.
She told the Daily Star newspaper: "I have met Prince Harry and I have met Cressida, and I know whom I'd rather spend a week partying with in LA [Los Angeles].
"She's easy-going, free-thinking, bright, modern and easy to relate to. In brief, everything the royal family isn't."
However, Katie admits Cressida - who studied for a degree in dance - still prefers to hang out in her native London than in Hollywood.
Speaking in a recent email to Katie, she's reported as saying: "Just got back from LA. I went to launch this Mulberry dance video I did.
"What a strange place. I think it's an acquired taste."

Vivienne Westwood pays tribute to Prince Charles


Vivienne Westwood has paid tribute to Britain's Prince Charles in her latest menswear collection.
The 73-year-old designer has had the Prince of Wales' face printed on several pieces of clothing from her Autumn/Winter 2015 collection to pay homage to "the great job he is doing".
According to the Daily Mail newspaper, she said: "I want to pay tribute to Prince Charles and the great job he's doing.
"If Prince Charles had ruled the world according to his priorities during the last 30 years, we would be all right and we would be tackling climate change."
Vivienne unveiled the pieces emblazoned with the 66-year-old royal's face during her show at the Menswear Fashion Week in Milan on the weekend.
An image of Charles wearing an Army beret was one of the key features of the show and Westwood explained how she'd adopted him as "patron of the collection" because of his efforts to raise awareness of organic farming and climate change.
The popular designer - who is a keen environmental campaigner herself - wore an oversized t-shirt bearing the image of the Prince as she walked down the catwalk at the end of the show, which also featured tailored suits, tweed and belted hounds-tooth checked coats, in a further nod to the heir to the throne.

Prince Charles swaps glasses for monocle


Britain's Prince Charles has reportedly swapped his reading glasses for a monocle.
The 66-year-old royal is said to be conscious of being seen wearing his spectacles - which he was first spotted in at a British Asian dinner at St. James' Palace four years ago - and has therefore decided to opt for a less obvious style of vision aid.
The heir to the throne - who has sons Harry, 30, and William, 32, from his marriage to the late Princess Diana - unveiled his new tortoiseshell-rimmed eyepiece to his friends and family during a recent royal gathering at the Sandringham Estate during the festive season.
However, the Prince of Wales' latest accessory was not greeted with many compliments, with one guest reportedly joking that he looks like ventriloquist Ray Allen's dummy Lord Charles.
According to the Daily Mail, they said: "You look like someone should have their hand up your jacket."
A spokesperson for the royal family has refused to deny nor confirm whether news about the Prince's new eyewear is true.
A Clarence House spokesman said: "We couldn't comment on such matters."

Prince Andrew to address claims?


Britain's Prince Andrew is reportedly considering making his first public statement on claims he "sexually abused" a teenager.
The Duke of York is understood to be planning to make a statement about the accusations when he attends the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland later this week, the Daily Mail newspaper reports.
Virginia Roberts, who claims she was a "sex slave" to the 54-year-old royal's former friend and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein when she was just 17-years-old, named Prince Andrew in legal documents alleging she was forced to have sex with him three times.
Buckingham Palace has already issued strong denials on behalf of the Prince - who is the second son of Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh - but he is now expected to make his own statement live on television.
The World Economic Forum is usually off-limits to the media but it's believed the Prince will this year invite a TV camera to the drinks party so he can issue a further denial of the claims he slept with the then Florida schoolgirl in London, New York and the Virgin Islands in 2001.
Although the event will largely focus on promoting British entrepreneurs, Andrew - who has daughters Beatrice and Eugenie with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson - is said to recognise that he must address the "elephant in the room".
A source said: "This will hopefully be a chance for Prince Andrew to draw a line under the Epstein business and move on ... First he will reiterate the denial which has already gone out from Buckingham Palace. He wants to put this behind him and he realises that if he didn't address the allegations, then his message about entrepreneurship might get lost."

Police urged to investigate Britain’s Prince Andrew


Campaigners have urged for Scotland Yard to investigate Britain's Prince Andrew.
The National Association of People Abused in Childhood has requested the Metropolitan Police Service looks into claims the Duke of York engaged in sexual relations with a woman in London when she was 17.
Peter Saunders, chief executive of the charity, said: "If crimes have been committed here, they should be investigated."
Virginia Roberts - now 30 - claims she was procured by the 54-year-old's friend, convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, to have sex with the prince on three separate occasions, one of which being in London while the other incidents are alleged to have taken place in New York and on Jeffrey's private Caribbean island.
Mr Saunders said: "Virginia Roberts has claimed she was trafficked and used and abused by Epstein, who is a convicted child abuser.
"I have urged police to look to see whether there is any evidence that what happened in London is a crime. If it is, he should be extradited from the US and made to face charges here."
The charity executive has passed on his concerns to Commander Peter Spindler, who was formerly the head of Operation Yewtree, investigating alleged historic sexual abuse by celebrities.
He added: "Whatever the fallout for Prince Andrew is for him to worry about."
The Metropolitan Police has confirmed it is "considering" looking into the allegations but said their "current activity" does not warrant an investigation as the case is currently being dealt with by a court in Florida.
A spokesman told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "A third party, with no involvement in the matter, has approached us. Officers are considering this. Our current activity does not constitute an investigation."
Prince Andrew denies the claims, with Buckingham Palace issuing a statement earlier this month saying the allegations are "categorically untrue."

Catherine Duchess of Cambridge causes website crash


Catherine Duchess of Cambridge caused a website to crash yesterday (15.01.15).
The wife of Britain's Prince William was photographed wearing a Madderson London "Naomi" frock while on a royal visit to a primary school in the Notting Hill area of the capital, causing customers rush to the brand's website to buy the outfit.
Posting an image on Facebook of the duchess wearing the dress, the label said: "The Duchess of Cambridge looks beautiful wearing our Naomi dress today at a visit to a London primary school!"
However, the message of delight was shortly followed by a statement which explained huge demand to purchase the outfit had caused the website to stop working.
They wrote: "Apologies but our website is currently down due to exceptionally high traffic volumes. We're working to resolve this as soon as possible! We'll advise once we're back up..."
The loose-fitting navy dress featured cropped sleeves and embroidered trim, with the 33-year-old royal matching the frock with four-inch pumps and dark tights.
The website of the luxury British label - launched in 2012 - has since been fixed, but they revealed the dress has now sold out and they have no plans to create any more this season.
They wrote: "Our website is back online! However the ‪#‎naomidress‬ has sold out following overwhelming demand... (sic)."
In a further post, they added: "the ‪#‎naomidress‬ has now sold out and we won't be making any more this season (sic)."

Prince Harry teased over socks


Britain's Prince Harry has been teased for wearing cheap socks with an £8,000 outfit.
The young royal attended an event at London's St James's Palace on Wednesday (14.01.15) to which he wore a Savile Row suit, designer shoes and a luxury watch, but has been mocked for wearing golf socks which can be bought for £1.66 a pair along with the costly ensemble.
According to The Sun newspaper, the 30-year-old prince's Dege & Skinner suit cost £3,500, which he paired with a £190 shirt and a Breitling watch, which would have set him back approximately £3,150. Completing the outfit, he wore luxury, personalised leather shoes from made-to-measure bootmaker, John Lobb.
However, when he sat down for an official photograph with NBA player Carmelo Anthony, the prince exposed his black Dunlop socks which can be purchased as part of a three-pack for £5.
The 30-year-old bachelor was with the sportsman to present graduation certificates to young people who had taken part in the Royal Foundation's Coach Core initiative, which trains sports coaches for work within their communities.
Luckily for Harry, he was upstaged by the basketball star who sported bright yellow and blue patterned socks for the occasion.

Princess Anne opens research centre


Anne, Princess Royal, opened a research centre on Thursday (15.01.15).
The 64-year-old royal visited the University of Dundee to mark the official opening of the Farr Institute of Health Informatics Research, which is a state-of-the-art facility for health-related data research.
The vice-principal for research at the university and head of the college of medicine, dentistry and nursing, Professor John Connell, told those who had gathered for the event he was "delighted" the princess was in attendance, and praised cancer charity Tenovus - for which she is a patron - for supporting the centre's research.
He said: "We are delighted that HRH the Princess Royal has joined us to open the Farr Institute and also to recognise the tremendous work done by Tenovus as a charity supporting valuable medical research across Scotland."
Continuing to speak about the work undertaken at the university, Professor Connell explained how the centre had come into fruition from an initial grant from the charity, which the princess has fundraised for throughout her life.
He said: "The University has been a pioneer in the use of electronic health records to support medical research in the UK, working closely with NHS Tayside and Tenovus.
"An initial grant from Tenovus of a few thousand pounds over 20 years ago has grown into this facility we see in Dundee today and a £30million eHealth network across the UK."
The Princess Royal - who is married to Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence - previously visited Dundee University in 2011 when she opened the Centre for Molecular Medicine (CMM).

Catherine Duchess of Cambridge opens art room


Catherine Duchess of Cambridge met school children in London yesterday (15.01.15).
The 33-year-old royal visited Barlby Primary School in the capital to officially name the Clore Art Room - which opened on October 1 - which offers therapeutic support to pupils who suffer from emotional and behavioural difficulties.
Arriving at the school, Catherine was greeted with a sign designed by the pupils which read "Welcome to Barlby Your Royal Highness," while the children also waved special flags which featured their own drawings of the young royal.
After receiving a round of applause in a school assembly, the duchess was presented with a small chair decorated with colourful stamps for her and Prince William's 17-month-old son, Prince George.
During her visit, Catherine entered the art facility to speak with the children themselves who told her about the projects they had been working on - which aim to develop confidence and independence through creativity - and spoke with headteachers to hear how The Art Room charity has made a "real impact" on the lives of their students.
The space is the ninth of its kind to open in the UK, and has been set up by the The Art Room - for which the duchess is a patron - for young people ages 5 to 11 at the school and the nearby Oxford Gardens Primary.
