Making the announcement, the two spoke about how William proposed with the special engagement ring that had belonged to his late mother, Diana, while Kate recounted her "excitement and shock."

Glossy magazines hoping to carry exclusive portraits and an interview with Kate, The Duchess of Cambridge can forget it, for now.
Latest rumors were that Vogue was hoping to secure a shoot by Mario Testino for the fashion monthly. But the palace denies any deal. "There are no plans for the Duchess to do anything with U.S. Vogue," a spokeswoman tells PEOPLE.
In any case, Kate, 29, has her mind on other matters. A few days after she attended the wedding of a friend, she is set to open a children's cancer center Thursday with Prince William.

Philip Treacy Defends Princess Beatrice's Hat

It was the Royal Wedding hat ridiculed around the world. But now, the designer of Princess Beatrice's fascinating fascinator is defending it, and its wearer, from the fashion bullies.
"She is only 22, and there was a little bit of bullying going on," Philip Treacy tells Britain's Observer. "In the future, we'll look back and think she looked wild."
The hat has been likened to everything from an octopus to a pretzel to a toilet seat. But Treacy, 43, has a simpler description. "I thought I was making a hat with a bow on it," he says.
