Royal

Britain's Prince George has visited Santa's Grotto.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge took their 16-month-old son to visit Father Christmas at the Santa's Magical Journey attraction at the Thursford event centre in Norfolk over the weekend.
The royal couple - who paid the standard entrance fee of £9.50 each and £15.50 for George - arrived unannounced after secretly booking tickets in advance.
The attraction features a host of animated creatures including reindeer, penguins, polar bears and elves, and includes a visit to his work shop as well as the chance to travel through a magical forest into his house to meet him.
The general manager at Thursford, Geraldine Rye, said: "George seemed to have a lovely time. When I saw him, he was walking around.
"It was a private visit and they were not given any special treatment. We only knew shortly beforehand that they were coming.
"They went around the winding path in our exhibition centre and would have seen animated animals like polar bears, penguins and reindeers as well as elves and snowmen.
"It is a fantasy land and the animated elves tell stories which you can listen to as you go round. It is all very traditional and is designed for families with young children.
"The visit including going into Santa's house usually takes at least 45 minutes, but they seemed to be here a long time. They didn't miss anything and they had a good time."
The Duke and Duchess - who is currently pregnant with her second child - were left alone by fellow visitors to enjoy their day out with George who was gifted a wooden train.
Geraldine added: "Lots of people recognised them, but they didn't get any hassle and nobody tried to take any pictures of them.
"The children are given different gifts according to their age and George would have got a wooden train just like other boys who are his age."

Thailand's Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn is getting divorced.
According to HOLA! Magazine, the 62-year-old royal has finalised his separation from his wife Princess Srirasmi Akrapongpreecha after receiving permission from Thailand's King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
The news follows reports that the princess' family had been involved in a corruption case resulting in the arrest of some of her relatives.
She has since resigned from her position in the royal family.
The palace said in a statement: "The king has granted permission to announce that Princess Srirasmi, the wife of Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn, has informed in a written document that she has resigned from her royal status."
Princess Srirasmi Akrapongpreecha was the first-in-line to the Thai throne's third wife.
He first married Princess Soamsavali Kitiyakara - with whom he has a daughter Princess Bajrakitiyabha - in 1977 but the couple divorced 15 years later.
In February 1994 Prince Vajiralongkorn married actress Yuvadhida Polpraserth and the couple had four sons and a daughter together.
He finally married Princess Srirasmi on February 10 2001. The couple welcomed a son Prince Dipangkorn Rasmijoti in April 2009.

Britain's Prince Harry photographed children supported by his Sentebale charity during a trip to Lesotho.
The 30-year-old royal recently travelled to the Kingdom in southern Africa to track the foundation's progress on a new children's centre but also took time to meet with some of the children who benefit from the organisation by taking their photographs, the Daily Telegraph newspaper reports.
Captioning one of the images, he wrote: "These are children who have never had the chance to talk about their illness, and who had no idea that they were one of so many in their age group."
The flame-haired Prince also revealed how touched he was to see them getting along with one another despite their struggles with HIV and AIDS.
He continued: "It was really emotional watching them interact with each other."
During his trip, Harry also toured the construction of the new facility which is set to dramatically increase the number of vulnerable children the charity can serve.
The centre will offer educational and healthcare resources to orphans living with HIV which, according to USAID, is a figure of over 350,000, with approximately 180,000 of them having lost their parents to AIDS.
Harry added: "Some [are] really outgoing chatty kids, others slightly overwhelmed, but all with huge smiles. This confirmed to me again that what we're doing is going to change thousands of children's lives, and hopefully save a generation."

Britain's Queen Elizabeth kicked off her Christmas holiday by travelling to Norfolk by train.
The 88-year-old monarch arrived at King's Lynn railway station yesterday (18.12.14) from London's King's Cross in the first class section of the train which had been especially reserved for her during the 100 mile trip.
The Queen - who travels to Norfolk every year to spend the festive period on her Sandringham Estate with her husband Prince Philip - was led out of a side entrance, known as the Queen's Gate, by her personal security team, and into a waiting Range Rover which drove her onto her luxurious residence, reports Hello! magazine.
The Queen - who was dressed in a patterned headscarf and green coat -caused quite a stir when she arrived on the platform.
Graeme Pratt, the station's manager, said: "It's an absolute privilege to transport the Royal Family, especially Her Majesty."
Queen Elizabeth traditionally resides at Sandringham with Philip, 93, until early February.
She will be joined by the rest of royal family - Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Harry, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their son Prince George - at the estate over Christmas. The group will enjoy lunch at Sandringham after attending a traditional service at the nearby parish church of St Mary Magdalene.

The hair of Britain's Duchess of Cambridge is a "nightmare".
Speaking with young people at his homeless charity Centrepoint, Prince William - who married the Duchess in 2011 - joked with one trainee hairdresser that she should try doing his wife's hair.
On a more serious note, Seyi Obakin, Centrepoint's chief executive, said the visit of the 32-year-old prince had lifted the spirits of the young people.
The CEO explained: "The Duke of Cambridge's visit provided a huge boost for all the young people he met ahead of Christmas, which for them can be a difficult and emotional time.
"Fortunately for many vulnerable young people staying with us in London, Sunderland and Bradford, while they won't have their families around them, they will have Centrepoint.
"We estimate that 15,000 young people will face homelessness alone this Christmas."
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the palace explained: "The Duke paid an unofficial visit to Centrepoint in order to meet some of the young people and show support for the charity at what is a key time of year for them."
During his visit, Prince William joined in a healthy breakfast session where young people learned about the value of nutritional food.
