Kian Egan shocked Prince Harry recognised him


Kian Egan was shocked to find Prince Harry knew who he was.
The 34-year-old star - who is best known from his days in Westlife - met the 29-year-old royal at Sentebale Summer Party earlier this month and "couldn't believe" the flame-haired prince recognised him after he won last year's 'I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!'.
Talking to the Mail Online, he explained: "It was a beautiful event and it felt very select. 'I went with my wife, Jodi [Albert] and we were lucky enough to be introduced to Prince Harry.
He said to me, 'Ah, I've seen you in the jungle' and I just couldn't believe that he watched it and knew who I was."
The bash was held at the Dorchester Hotel in London and marked Harry's charity's achievements working with Aids orphans and disadvantaged children in Lesotho.
Later that evening Kian's wife Jodi - who he married in 2009 and has two-year-old son Koa with - insisted the singer was jealous of Harry.
She wrote on Twitter: "Thank you for a wonderful evening spent with Prince Harry..think @KianEganWL got jealous! (sic)"
Kian added: "Jodi joked on Twitter that I was jealous of him but she was just messing around."

Queen Elizabeth rush back from Paris for Epsom Downs?


Britain's Queen Elizabeth will rush over from Paris to make it to the Epsom Derby on June 7.
The 88-year-old monarch will visit President Francois Hollande at the Elysee Palace in the French capital before returning to England hours later to make sure she's in time to catch the highlight of the racing calendar.
A palace source said told The Sunday Express newspaper: "The timings that have been worked out have made it possible for the Queen to carry out engagements in Paris in the morning and still make the Derby in the afternoon. It works for everyone."
Elizabeth is set to land in France on June 5 with husband Prince Philip, 92.
They will attend events in Normandy to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the D-Day Landings which took place on June 6, 1944 when the Western Allied forces initiated an operation to liberate mainland Europe from Nazi occupation during World War II.
She will be joined by Prince Charles and Camilla and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
After this the queen will then travel to Paris with the Duke of Edinburgh, who is believed to join her at Derby.

Penny Junor: Prince William matured into a man


Britain's Prince William has grown into a "man", says biographer Penny Junor.
The 31-year-old royal has nine-month-old son George with Duchess Catherine - who he married in 2010 when she was referred to as Kate Middleton - has matured since becoming a father according to the English writer.
She explained: "He has grown up and matured enormously since Prince George was born.
"He has become a man.
"It happens to so many people when they become parents.
"Suddenly the late nights and passion for nightclubs give way to a much greater interest in your baby's vocabulary and getting an early night.
"With that comes a whole change of mindset and we have seen that with William.
"He knows who he is and what he has to do and he has embraced that.
"He has left the Forces and he has now decided that his royal career is his primary focus."
Last month the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge embarked on a tour of Australia and New Zealand and it is believed this helped them "consolidate" their relationships with those countries and showcased what a close unit the couple were.
A palace source told the Sunday Daily Express newspaper: "What the tour showed, if we did not know it already, was how well the Duke and Duchess work together.
"For the Duke it was an opportunity to consolidate his relationship with those countries and the feeling was it could not have gone better.
"The Duke is now in his 30s so he was always going to cut a more mature figure.
"Times have changed."

Prince Harry rallies support for Invictus Games


Prince Harry urged Londoners to support the Invictus Games for "inspirational" injured servicemen and women.
The young royal is backing the games which will place in England's capital between September 10 - 14 and have more than 400 competitors who made a personal sacrifice from 14 nations use the sport to encourage recovery and rehabilitation.
People will compete in nine adaptive sports in venues on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and Harry wants the public cheering them on.
He said: "Ultimately, this is about the men and women who have given so much and deserve our support, in their recovery, rehabilitation and on leaving the armed forces.
"In September the public has the chance to show that support in the sporting arena, where the same grit and determination that characterises these tenacious men and women and their inspirational journeys of recovery -- their invictus spirit -- will make for a great occasion.
"I know people will want to join me in cheering them on from the sidelines."
Adventurer and paracyclist Jaco Van Gass, who trekked to the North Pole with the prince in 2011, gushed about the 29-year-old royal's passion for helping the wounded
He told the Evening Standard newspaper: "Prince Harry is fantastic guy. His passion and love is indescribable.
"He really cares for the wounded and the people who served around him. It's the reason we are hosting the Games, it's all his idea, it's all his brainchild. He's the driving force behind it all."
Tickets for the Invictus Games go on sale on May 16.

Prince William downs a shot of rum


Britain's Prince William downed a shot of rum during his visit to HMS Alliance today (12.05.14).
The royal was given the same initiation as newly-qualified submarine workers upon completing his visit on board the newly-restored Second World War era submarine in Gosport, Hampshire, and was presented with a large tumbler of Pusser's Navy Rum alongside a submariner's Dolphin badge.
Bill Sainsbury, marketing and communications manager at the National Museum of the Royal Navy, commented: "It was a gulper's measure, not a sip. He had a good glug. He seemed to enjoy it. He ad a big smile on his face after he'd drunk it."
However, the 31-year-old royal was spared the embarrassment of having to pick up the badge in his teeth from the bottom of the glass after downing the tot.
According to the Daily Express newspaper, Vice Admiral Sir Tim McClement, chairman of the Royal Navy Submarine Museum, joked: "We're not going to choke you today."
After jetting in on a helicopter, William attended a service of re-dedication for the HMS Alliance, met with veteran submariners and toured the vessel before indulging in the alcoholic beverage.
The vessel has been on display at the museum since 1981, but was starting to sink until renovation began in 2011.
The Duke of Cambridge was acting as Royal Patron of the HMS Alliance Conservation Appeal, and the event marked his first royal duty since returning from his tour of Australia and New Zealand with his wife, Duchess Catherine, and his son, Prince George.

Prince William to visit Gosport


Britain's Prince William will visit Gosport, south England, today (12.05.14).
The 31-year-old royal will go to the HMS Alliance at the Royal Navy Submarine Museum in the town after the only surviving British Second World War-era submarine has been restored at a cost of £7 million.
The prince, who is Commodore-in-Chief Submarines, is the royal patron of the conservation appeal which made the repairs possible after the submarine became rusted.
The programme, which was partly funded with a £3.4 million grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, has given the historical piece a much needed revamp.
The Duke of Cambridge will meet veteran submariners and tour the vessel as well as being presented with the Dolphins badge in a tot of rum.
The badge is usually presented to submarine qualifiers in the glass of rum which they drink and they have to catch the badge in their teeth.
HMS Alliance is a Royal Navy A-class submarine laid down towards the end of the Second World War and completed in 1947.
They were designed for use in the Far East, to patrol the Pacific Ocean, and the way it was built meant it allowed for presence in larger areas for longer periods.

Duchess Catherine gives Cressida Bonas relationship advice?


Britain's Duchess Catherine reportedly told Cressida Bonas to take "time out" with Prince Harry.
The 31-year-old royal advised the blonde beauty to take a bit of time to herself, like she did in 2007 when her and Prince William - who she married in 2011 - took a break, since being in the public eye with reports of a royal engagement can become intense.
A source told Now magazine: "[Catherine] gave her the lowdown on the pressures of being a princess and advised her to take time out, like she did with Wills in 2007.
"Kate feels for Cressie. There's an awful lot of pressure when the whole nation is asking if asking if you're about to get engaged.
"She told Cressie how she benefited from taking time out when she was on a break from William. Kate said it might be best for them too."
Harry and Cressida were said to have parted ways at the end of last month and other reports claim she was "freaked out" with the attention the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge had to deal with while they were on their tour of Australia and New Zealand in April.
A source told British magazine Look: "Cressida and Harry were happy - there was even talk of marriage. But watching William and Kate's tour of Australia and New Zealand freaked Cressie out.
"She will have seen how they were followed by the world's press every minute of the day, how people were clawing to get photos of George, and how Kate and Wills were under the microscope. I think it made her realise that isn't the life she wants."

Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s dog Lupo inspired children’s book


Britain's Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's dog Lupo has inspired a new range of children's books.
Author Abigail King, who penned 'The Adventures of Lupo the Royal Dog: The Secret of Windsor Castle', has her own pooch Lily, who she takes for walks in Kensington Gardens, and when she found out Prince William and Duchess Catherine have their own hound it got her thinking about the lifestyle of royal dogs.
She told website, Mail Online: "I'd seen in the papers that Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge now had their very own Lilly - a black cocker spaniel named Lupo - and I started to think about what life as a royal puppy, with palaces and parks at your disposal, might be like."
Abigail couldn't get the thought out of her mind and it helped her to create characters and tales for a book.
She added: "Over the next few months, the idea never strayed far from my mind. I began to see the scope for mystery and adventure - secret passageways and tunnels in royal palaces, portals to other times. A royal menagerie of characters began to form in my head."
The book will hit bookshelves in September and another three stories will follow shortly after.

Prince William to host dinner in support of Royal Marsden Cancer Charity


Britain's Prince William will host a charity dinner at Windsor Castle on 13 May.
The Duke of Cambridge will welcome a host of A-List stars including Kate Moss, Emma Watson, Mario Testino, Cate Blanchett, Cara Delevingne and Benedict Cumberbatch to the event which is being held in support the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.
William, 31, is said to be hosting without Duchess Catherine - who was known as Kate Middleton before they wed.
Last November William saw patients go under the knife at the Royal Marsden Hospital after meeting the medical teams led by surgeons Stuart James and Pardeep Kumar.
The patients, a woman in her 60s undergoing breast reconstruction and a man in his 80s having a tumour from his bladder removed, allowed the second-in-line to the British throne to watch their operations, but did not get to meet him beforehand.
The young royal became president of the hospital in 2007, following in the footsteps of his mother, the late Princess Diana, who was president from 1989 until her death in 1997.
Upon taking up the role, the prince said: "The Royal Marsden does an extraordinary job in treating thousands of cancer patients every year. The standards of care and compassion of its staff are unsurpassed in the world.
"Therefore, I am delighted and honoured to become President of the Royal Marsden and will do whatever I can to support its innovative and vital work."nd will do whatever I can to support its innovative and vital work."
