Queen Elizabeth Loves to Laugh with Her Grandkids
Originally posted 05/25/2012 12:00PM
To the outside world, Queen Elizabeth sometimes appears as a poker-faced woman who seldom lets down her guard or offers up an opinion.
But when she's around her eight grandchildren (and two great-granddaughters), she "lights up," according to one of them.
Princess Eugenie, 21, says she loves telling the 86-year-old monarch about life at university. "We talk about my Newcastle life and how I've got so many essays and things and she still goes, 'Aha,' [and] laughs at what I say, which is lovely," Eugenie says during an ITV1 special, Elizabeth: Queen, Wife, Mother, airing in Britain on June 1.

Prince Charles Tries His Hand at Being a Deejay
Originally posted 05/23/2012 10:40AM
Never too old to learn a new trade, Britain's Prince Charles received some guidance on the finer points of scratching and fading a record while visiting an employment skills workshop in Toronto Tuesday.
The tutorial came during his and wife Camilla's four-day visit to the city, all part of the Diamond Jubilee marking his mother Queen Elizabeth's rule over the Commonwealth. Two weeks ago, Charles, 63, tried out as a TV weatherman in Scotland, and proved he could point to a map with the best of them.
But how was he as a deejay?

Prince William Questions the Queen's Noisy Dogs
Originally posted 05/22/2012 04:00PM
Queen Elizabeth II may seem composed in public, but if her grandson is to be believed, the monarch likes a bit of ruckus in her private life.
In an upcoming ITV1 documentary on his grandmother, Prince William spills the dirt on the Queen's beloved dogs, saying that they bark "all the time."
"I don't know how she copes with it, but her private life with her dogs and her riding and her walking, it's very important to her," he tells interviewer Alan Titchmarsh in Elizabeth: Queen, Wife, Mother, which airs in the U.K. June 1. "She has got to switch off."

Prince William Barely Slept on Eve of Wedding
Originally posted 05/22/2012 09:35AM
He was wide-eyed and all smiles as he took Kate as his wife at Westminster Abbey last April. But, like royal watchers around the world, the Duke of Cambridge hardly slept a wink the night before his big day a year ago.
The crowds gathered on The Mall, the London thoroughfare in front of Buckingham Palace, and the excitement of his impending wedding watched by the world made him restless, he tells interviewer Alan Titchmarsh for an upcoming ITV1 documentary on his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
"I hadn't slept at all that night because obviously all the crowds were on The Mall," he says in Elizabeth: Queen, Wife, Mother, which airs in the U.K. June 1.

Pippa Middleton Borrows a Look from Kate's Wardrobe

Is Pippa Middleton now taking her fashion cues from her big sister?
At the very least, they both seem particularly fond of a certain wrap dress from Issa.
Kate wore it in royal blue on the day of her engagement announcement in 2010. And now Pippa has dazzled in a raspberry version, which she wore to a friend's wedding in Scotland this weekend.
Pippa, 28, rounded out her look with a floral hat, a black clutch and black suede heels.

The Duchess of Cambridge was looking good for Her Majesty on Friday.
She joined husband William and his brother Prince Harry for a special lunch at Windsor Castle during which Queen Elizabeth entertained monarchs from 26 countries and most members of her immediate family.
Kate, 30, wore a $2,000 coat dress designed by Emilia Wickstead. Described as a pleated dress with a square neck, it is made of double crepe wool and is from the current collection.

Prince Harry Rubs Noses with Lupo
Originally posted 05/14/2012 10:25AM
It's the kind of affection most people can only dream of getting: Prince Harry, openly caressing a cheek and nuzzling a nose.
Who was the enviable recipient of such a display? None other than Lupo, the royal cocker spaniel, and perhaps, the luckiest dog in the world.
During a break from a charity polo match on Sunday, the prince gave his brother and sister-in-law's young puppy his complete attention, but Harry wasn't the only one doting on the adorable dog.

Kate – and Puppy! – Cheer on the Princes at Polo Match
Originally posted 05/13/2012 04:45PM
Little Lupo enjoyed a stunning spring day with the Duchess of Cambridge when the two headed out to watch Prince William play polo Sunday.
The royal cocker spaniel was taken to a field near Windsor to watch William and brother Harry wield their polo sticks for charity.
And he was clearly something of a novelty for guests. "Lupo seemed to get as much attention from the people at the presentation as William and Harry," an observer says.

Prince Charles Delivers the Weather Report on the BBC
Originally posted 05/10/2012 10:40AM
This afternoon it will be "cold, wet and windy" across Scotland – the normal lines for a weather forecaster in blustery Scotland in spring, perhaps.
But bringing smiles to the faces of surprised viewers – and a new voice to weather announcements – was Prince Charles, who appeared on the BBC at lunchtime to deliver the weather report.
Charles (or Duke of Rothesay as he is known in Scotland) was visiting BBC Scotland's headquarters in Glasgow and toured the studios with Camilla as part of their annual week of official engagements in Scotland.
