Royal

Britain's Queen Elizabeth has been voted Royal mother of the year.
The 87-year-old monarch has four children - Prince Charles, 65, Princess Anne, 63, Prince Andrew, 54, and Prince Edward, 50 - with her husband the Duke of Edinburgh, and although other members of the Royal family have much younger children, she received equal votes to the Duchess of Cambridge in a poll held by Disney.
As part of the company's search for Celebrity Mum of the Year 2014, they have released figures which show that 50 per cent of voters thought that the queen and her daughter in law Duchess Catherine - who gave birth to the queen's great-grandson Prince George last year - were the best royal mothers ahead of Zara Phillips and her mother Princess Anne.
The results come as the queen's eldest son and the heir to the throne - Prince Charles - admits he has been taking lessons in "grandfatherhood" so that he can take better care of his grandson .
Speaking at the Prince's Trust and Samsung Celebrate Success Awards, after his speech was interrupted by a crying baby, he said: "I've been taking lessons in grandfatherhood.
"I'm getting used to this now and I know when something needs a bottle - or maybe it's something else."

An employee of Britain's Buckingham Palace has prevented a jewellery shop from being robbed.
A teenager has been charged with robbery after an attempted raid on a jewellery shop in London was stopped by a member of staff from the official residence of Queen Elizabeth.
Kaneen Gopaul, 18, from Islington in north London is now set to appear before Wimbledon magistrates' court accused of robbery and handling stolen goods.
A gang of thieves pulled up to H Stain jewellers in Victoria - a ten minute walk from the palace - on Tuesday (11.03.14) armed with axes and sledgehammers and began to attempt to smash the glass windows until a bystander - who is understood to work part-time at Buckingham Palace - spotted the crime and managed to catch Mr Gopaul before he could escape with the rest of the gang.
The man - who chose not to divulge his name - said of the crime: "It was like watching a Guy Ritchie movie ... I thought, 'this is my bloody city - why should thugs like this get away with it."
Police are now searching for the remaining three suspects, who are believed to have made their getaway in a number of black taxis, and therefore officers are appealing to any taxi drivers who may have information.
A spokesman for Scotland Yard said: "We believe the suspects who hailed the black cabs would have done so not long after 1pm and officers are particularly keen to hear from the taxi drivers who made these pick ups."

Britain's Prince Charles is taking lessons in "grandfatherhood".
The 65-year-old Royal welcomed his first grandchild last year when his son and daughter-in-law, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, had their first child, Prince George, and yesterday (12.03.14) he claimed he'd been taking lessons in how to be a good grandfather after a crying baby interrupted his speech at the Prince's Trust and Samsung Celebrate Success Awards.
He said: "I know when something needs a bottle. It's time to give it a bottle.
"I've been taking lessons in grandfatherhood.
"I'm getting used to this and I know when something needs a bottle - or maybe it's something else."
The Prince of Wales - who is Queen Elizabeth's eldest son and the heir to the throne - also thanked TV hosts Ant and Dec for their continued involvement in the awards during his speech.
Celebrities including Joan Collins, Dominic West, Sir Ben Kingsley and Jeremy Irons also attended the event at the Odeon in London's Leicester Square, where 23-year-old Danielle Fisher - who was presented with the Breakthrough Award - thanked the Prince's Trust for helping her to overcome depression.
She said: "It's amazing how people like Prince Charles want to support you. When I was up on stage he said to me, 'It's alright'.
"I never thought I'd be able to turn my life around but I have."

A court will today (12.03.14) decide whether Britain's Prince Charles' letters to government ministers should have been made public.
The Court of Appeal in London will rule today (12.03.14) on whether the Attorney General, Dominic Grieve, acted unlawfully when he vetoed a tribunal which had ruled in favour of allowing the public to see letters the Prince of Wales had written to members of the government.
Newspaper journalist Ron Evans has accused Grieve - who is the government's principal legal adviser - of failing to show "reasonable grounds" for blocking the release of the communications between the Prince and various government ministers between September 2004 and April 2005.
In September 2012 The Upper Tribunal - which was headed by a High Court judge - declared that Mr Evans and the public had the right to see the letters under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and under the Environmental Information Regulations 2004, and although the government departments concerned did not appeal, a month later the Attorney General imposed a veto by issuing a certificate under section 53 of the FOIA.
Mr Grieve said at the time that he felt the departments were legally entitled to refuse disclosure because it could damage the principle of their heir to the throne being politically neutral and could undermine his ability to fulfil duties if and when he becomes king.
Mr Evans - who works for The Guardian newspaper - says he wants to investigate "the way the heir to the throne seeks to influence Government ministers even though he holds no elected position".

Britain's Earl of Harewood has paid tribute to his mother, the former Countess of Harewood, who died last week.
Marion Thorpe (née Stein) - who was married to the former Earl of Harewood, George Lascelles for over fifteen years - passed away on last Thursday (06.03.14) and her son, David Lascelles, has now opened up about his mother, who went on to marry Liberal Party leader Jeremy Thorpe.
He said: "My mum had two high-profile marriages but there was a lot more to her than just being married to someone well-known.
"She was an accomplished musician in her own right.
"Music was her great love."
The former countess - who co-founded the Leeds International Piano competition and also received a CBE in 2008 - was born to a Jewish family who fled Austria in 1938, and after studying piano at the Royal College of Music she went on to marry the Queen's cousin, who died in 2011.
Marion passed away at the age of 87 leaving behind three sons - David, James and Jeremy - from her marriage to George Lascelles, whom she divorced in 1967, nearly 10 years after he began an affair and fathered a child with another woman.

The Attorney General's attempts to block the release of letters written by Britain's Prince Charles to government ministers have today (12.03.14) been ruled "unlawful".
Dominic Grieve imposed a veto in 2012 to prevent letters written by the Prince of Wales, to members of the government between 2004 and 2005, from being released after the Upper Tribunal had already ruled that the public were entitled to see the communications under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
However, Journalist Rob Evans challenged the decision and the Court of Appeal have now ruled that the certificate be quashed, because Mr Grieve had "no good reason" for overriding the original decision.
Responding to the verdict, a spokesman for Mr Grieve said: "We are very disappointed by the decision of the court.
"We will be pursuing an appeal to the Supreme Court in order to protect the important principles which are at stake in this case."
The 57-year-old politician has argued that releasing the letters would undermine the principle of the heir to the thrown remaining politically neutral and said the correspondence between Prince Charles and the ministers were part of his "preparation for becoming king".
Mr Evans - who is a journalist for the Guardian newspaper - claims he is fighting to shed more light on the way in which Queen Elizabeth's eldest son "seeks to influence government ministers even though he holds no elected position".

Britain's Prince Andrew has given the royal seal of approval to a Northern Irish apprenticeship campaign.
The Duke of York launched The Belfast Telegraph's new apprenticeships campaign '50 Jobs in 50 Days' - which aims to help the young and unemployed in the country -yesterday (11.03.14).
During the first visit to the newspaper by a member of the royal family, Prince Andrew congratulated them on their previous campaign to encourage more companies to provide apprenticeships and said he hopes the new initiative will be even more successful.
Speaking to the newspaper, he said: "Congratulations on the idea of continuing the work you have already done. I wish your campaign every success."
The 54-year-old royal - who is Queen Elizabeth's second son and third child - also emphasised the importance of businesses giving young people a chance.
He added: "I can guarantee you that most young people are not trying to avoid work."
The Belfast Telegraph will work with local and national companies, colleges and the Department for Employment and Learning to try and achieve their aim of creating 50 apprenticeships in 50 days by May 1.

Prince George's new nanny is "married to the job".
The eight-month-old son of Britain's Prince William and Duchess Catherine will soon be looked after by the child-minder who is said to be dedicated to the role.
A source told HELLO! magazine: "She has worked for other high-profile families and it was from there that the Cambridges heard of her and hired her."
The friend added: "She is not married and doesn't have a boyfriend, as her life is totally dedicated to the family she is working with. She is known for being totally professional - married to the job."
The new nanny, who is reportedly in her 30s, is not caring for George this week, as he's staying with his grandparents, Carole and Michael Middleton, while William, 31, and Catherine, 32, enjoy a romantic break in the Maldives.
The new nanny will accompany the family during their 19-day royal visit to Australia and New Zealand next month.
The couple are thought to have recruited the new child-minder to look after their tot after their current nanny Jessie Webb, 71, who previously looked after William when he was a child, gave her notice last month.
Royal press secretary Miguel Head appeared to confirm the recruitment in an itinerary for the upcoming trip, which was released to media recently.
William, Catherine and George will visit Australia and New Zealand between April 7 and April 25.
