Kate Moss ‘flirts’ with Prince William


Kate Moss reportedly flirted with Prince William at a charity fundraiser.
The 40-year-old supermodel came face-to-face with the prince at a star-studded fundraiser the 31-year-old royal hosted on May 13 at Windsor Castle on Tuesday (13.05.14) and a TV crew caught their private conversation on camera.
Kate smiled at the prince and said: "Where's your wife? She's not here?"
William then confirmed Duchess Catherine was absent from the event, to which the British beauty tilted her head to one side and gazed into the prince's eyes, before smiling and replying: "Such a shame".
A host of famous faces, including Cate Blanchett, Emma Watson and Cara Delevingne, attended the event, which was sponsored by Ralph Lauren and held to raise money for the Royal Marsden Hospital.
Helena Bonham Carter also attended and recalled previously meeting the second-in-line to the throne when he was with Catherine on the island of Mustique before the pair wed in 2011.
After a few drinks, 'The King's Speech' actress managed to gain the confidence to ask whether he'd be godfather to her six-year-old daughter Nell - who she had with director Tim Burton - but he "wisely" refused.
She revealed: "The duke and I met before, along with the duchess, before they were married, when I was staying on Mustique. I got very drunk at one point and I was determined to ask him to be a godfather to my daughter. He quite wisely said no."

Prince Harry sends first tweet


Britain's Prince Harry sent his first ever Twitter message today (15.05.14).
The flame-haired royal took to the social media website for the first time to voice his support of the upcoming Invictus Games, a charitable Paralympics-style games for wounded army members.
Harry's tweet was posted to the charity's account, @InvictusLondon.
He wrote: "Hope everyone will get behind #invictusgames. Great opportunity to support and thank the men and women who have given so much. Harry (sic)"
The 29-year-old royal appeared flummoxed while constructing his first tweet during a launch event at BT Tower in London earlier today.
He quipped: "That's why I joined the army, I can't type fast."
Harry joked that London Mayor Boris Johnson would be excited to see him tweet, as he is an avid Twitter user himself.
Invictus Games chairman Keith Mills admitted there were some royal hurdles to overcome before Harry could tweet.
He told the Guardian newspaper: "Members of the royal family don't normally tweet, I don't think they've ever tweeted. But they were comfortable and he was thrilled to do it, so we have made a bit of history this morning."

Princes William and Harry play polo


Britain's Princes William and Harry went head-to-head in a polo match at the weekend.
The royal brothers took part in the De Beers Diamond Jewellers Royal Charity Polo Cup at the Billingbear Polo Club in Berkshire, South East England on Sunday (11.05.14) in a bid to raise money for good causes.
William - dressed in white trousers and a black top - captained the Baku Guards team and played alongside professionals Simon Holland, Lyndon Lea and world number one player Facundo Pieres, while his younger brother headed the King Power team, playing alongside Gonzalito Pieres and Thai players Aiyawatt 'Top' Srivaddhanaprabha and Talapichet 'Ton' Srivaddhanaprabha.
Baku Guards' patron Nasib Piriev said: "It is our utmost privilege to have Prince William playing for us on this special occasion".
Around 300 guests watched the game, which ended in a 6-6 draw.
William and Harry were praised for their skills, with Luke Tomlinson, captain of the England polo quartet saying he felt both princes would have been good enough to represent their country if they had had enough time to devote to the sport.
He said: "Both their Royal Highnesses are excellent sports people and very good polo players, naturally."
After the match, the brothers joined spectators at a lavish dinner at the polo club, and guests were also invited to take part in an auction to raise money for charities including HALO, ESSA, England and Wales Mountain Rescue and Walking With The Wounded, which had all been chosen by the royals.

Ralph Lauren unhappy about Duchess Catherine’s absence?


Ralph Lauren was reportedly "furious" to learn Duchess Catherine would not be at the charity dinner he sponsored this week.
The US fashion designer splashed out a rumoured £1.2 million on the star-studded event, which was held at Windsor Castle on Tuesday (13.05.14) to raise money for the Royal Marsden cancer hospital, but considered pulling out when he learned Prince William's wife would be staying at home to care for their 10-month-old son Prince George.
A source told the Daily Mail newspaper:"Ralph Lauren was furious when he found out less than six weeks ago that Kate would not be there.
"He considered pulling out but was told by his PR advisers that it would look terrible. The company thought they were getting Kate, the most famous clothes horse in the world, and also a runway show at the castle."
A Kensington Palace spokesperson insisted the duchess - who has often been pictured in the designer's dresses - was never scheduled to attend the event.
They said: "The Duke and Duchess regularly undertake separate engagements in support of the charities with which they are involved."
A Ralph Lauren representative has denied the claims.
They said: "Mr. Lauren has only ever been enthusiastic about attending the event."

Queen Elizabeth to make Derby dash


Britain's Queen Elizabeth will make a last-minute helicopter dash to be at the Epsom Derby.
The monarch and her husband Prince Philip are due to spend three days in France for the 70th anniversary D-Day commemorations next month, and despite having a visit to the Elysee Palace scheduled for the morning of Saturday June 7, she is determined not to miss the most important race of the Flat calendar, so will travel home by helicopter immediately afterwards.
The craft will take her back to her Windsor castle home before she travels on to the racecourse in Surrey, South East England.
However, she will not return in time for the traditional royal car procession -which travels up the Epsom home straight - but is expected to arrive by early afternoon, in plenty of time for the big race at 4pm.
A source told the Daily Mail newspaper: "The fact she is taking so much effort to be at Epsom shows the queen's passion for the race."
Meanwhile, the monarch recently sold on a racehorse, Al Kazeem, after he was found to be "sub fertile".
Following negotiations, he has been returned to original breeder John Deer, her racing manager John Warren has revealed.
He commented: "The queen made the comment that, sadly, horses will always have the last word."

Prince William and Duchess Catherine used Jones alias


Britain's Prince William and Duchess Catherine flew home from Australia under the aliases Mr. and Mrs. Jones.
The royal couple - who have 10-month-old son Prince George together - took on assumed names at Sydney airport last month, but were easily recognisable as they had hired out the entire first-class cabin of their Qantas jet, and checked 90 items of luggage.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "It was funny that they used such common British names. Even Prince George was Baby Jones.
"But it did seem a bit daft as everyone knew it was them."
The pair had so much baggage largely thanks to the number of souvenirs they received during their three-week tour of Australia and New Zealand.
It isn't the first time the couple - who married in April 2011 - have taken on aliases in public.
In 2009, Catherine, who was known as Kate Middleton before her marriage, booked a surprise break in Fowey, Cornwall, South West England, for William's 27th birthday using the names Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
William's father Prince Charles and his wife Duchess Camilla have been known to refer to themselves as Fred and Gladys.

Duchess of York spending time with cancer patients


Britain's Duchess of York is spending time with cancer patients to learn more about the disease.
Sarah Ferguson was the keynote speaker at The Scarborough Hospital Foundation's second annual Scarborough World Gala on Saturday (10.05.14), which helped raise $2 million for the hospital's Cancer Care program.
She puts her involvement down to the work of the younger royals and having people close to her battle the disease.
She told ET Canada: "Prince George is a little young to talk at the moment, but the whole of the young royals - William and Harry, you know, all of them - they are a united front for good, and I think they really are a great example of how we can nurture our youth of today for a better tomorrow.
"So many of my own family members have died of cancer so I thought this would be a great way of supporting Scarborough Hospital which does so much. I really spend a great deal of time with patients who suffer from cancer and various other diseases in order to learn more and the more I learn the more I realise that everyday's a blessing and I'm so lucky."
Sarah - who has daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie with Prince Andrew - has worked closely with a number of charities in the past.
She was appointed patron of The Teenage Cancer Trust in 1990, she was a founding supporter of The American Cancer Society's Great American Weigh In which is a campaign that raises awareness of the link between excess weight and cancer.

Princess Anne helps launch plan for new wood


Britain's Princess Anne helped to launch plans for a new wood in Northern Ireland.
The 64-year-old royal who is on a two-day visit to the country wants to help commemorate the centenary of the First World War which took place between 1914-1918.
She was given an overview of the Woodland Trust's plan and met around 80 guests before she unveiled a plaque marking the launch of the project.
The land will occupy 53 acres in the Faughan Valley in Co Londonderry and is aimed to give people space to reflect and remember who fought for their country.
According to the Belfast Telegraph, Patrick Clegg, director of the Woodland Trust in Northern Ireland, said: "This new wood will be a living, lasting tribute to the people from the island of Ireland who fought or supported others during the war."
They are aiming to grow up to 40,000 native trees and numerous wild flowers, including poppies, while the River Faughan will flow alongside the the woodland.
