Prince William And Harry Take Chakravarty World Cup: Pictures

WHAT’S Prince William been up since a palsied England were knocked out of the World Cup. Wills is president of the Football Association. Has he planning a new grassroots-level assault on the game?

Well, yes. Wills was investigating alternatives to football being the nation’s official sport at the Chakravarty Cup polo match at Beaufort Polo Club near Tetbury Gloucestershire. Prince William and his brother, Prince Harry received the match winning trophy.

Can polo be the national game? And can Rooney and dress up as panto horses to take polo to the common man?

In Pictures: Queen Escapes 7/11 Carnage In New York

HER Majesty Queen Elizabeth II addressed the General Assembly of the United Nations at the UN Headquarters in New York, following an eight day tour of Canada. She’s avoided being caught up in the 7/11 tragedy that has befallen the Guardian.

Along with a smiling Duke of Edinburgh, Elizabeth met Mayor of New York Michael Bloomberg at the British Garden at Hanover Square. She picked a few flowers and laid a wreath at the site of the World Trade Centre.

Then she settled Prince Harry’s bar tab, took a call from Prince Charles about whether or she’d offset her flight by taking shallower breaths and thought about heading home…

Queen Elizabeth Gives Stephen Harper The Look: Pictures

QUEEN Elizabeth II was at Pinewood Studios in Toronto, Canada, where she watched a 3D version of 1812. In dark glasses, Her Majesty and her Duke of Edinburgh bristled with a refined menace. Queen Elizabeth then pulled a face when listening to a speech by Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, during a visit to Government House, Winnipeg, she had reserved for use when catching Sarah Ferguson begging the corgis for scraps…

In other news:

The monarchy now costs us just 62p each after its annual costs were cut by £3.3million – or 7.9 per cent – to £38.2million. ‘The Royal Household is acutely aware of the difficult economic clim­ate and took early action,’ said Sir Alan Reid, Keeper of the Privy Purse.

Just 62p to keep Tony Blair off the throne. Bargain.

In Pictures: Prince Harry Fires West Point And Breaks The New York Met

PRINCE Harry is not just any smoking, drinking youth with maternal-abandonment issues and a gun. He is a special case. Prince Harry Baseball Cap is in the US. He’s fired live rounds at West Point Military Academy in New York State. Harry hit at least two of the pop-up targets as he covered the right flank and managed to avoid shooting any civilians. Then harry went to the New York Mets stadium, ahead of this evening’s match between the Minnesota Twins and the New York Mets. He threw a baseball with a tad of off-break. Then it was off to Bedfordshire – Or maybe Bedford, New York, which does a lovely Flaming Ferrari…

Prince Harry And Chelsy Davy Break-Up In Photos

CHELSY Davy was, to some, always more Queen Vic Windsor than Royalty, and the grim news is that she and Prince Harry are over.

The News of the World says Chelsy is heading back to South Africa – alone. She tells a pal:

“We’re finished. This is a new beginning for me. I want to start my career in South Africa where I plan to spend the rest of my life. I don’t want to live in Britain.”

Did Britain come between them? Can’t Prince Harry Baseball Cap relocate? Can Great Britain not invade a country and make Harry its ruler? Let’s invade Spain. For Harry…

In Pictures: David Beckham, Prince William And Prince Harry’s Blind Date

WHEN England team ambassador David Beckham, Prince William and Prince Harry met at an FA reception at the Saxon Hotel in Johannesburg, it was hard to be cynical. The three looked good. It looked a like a game of Blind Date, the telly show in which Cilla Black would let some girl or guy pick a date from three hopefuls. Although, if you could only hear, would you pick squeaky Day-vid Beckham? Or would you care..?

In other World Cup news: England shocked that Wayne Rooney did NOT swear at the TV.

Kate Middleton ‘Pregnant’: Prince William Shoots And Scores: Pictures

KATE Middleton is pregnant. So says Star magazine, which claims Middle-class is pregnant by Prince William. And – get this – Kate being pregnant has meant the wedding being delayed. Years from now a toothy cake frosting factory worker will step forward, lush a hand through their mop of jet black hair and claim to be Dolce Windsor. For now, however, Will takes the bad news with a stiff upper lip and a football struck hard and low to his left. He shoots. He impregnates! Unless she isn’t pregnant, in which case, carry on…

Update: A palace spokesperson tells People magazine, the story is “complete nonsense“.

Prince Harry And William In Botswana: Day 2 Pictures

PRINCE Harry and Prince William joined forces with park manager Neil Whitson to stroke a cheetah during a visit to the Mokoloda Nature Reserve in Gabarone, Botswana. They then stroked a snake. And Harry pulled a face that should quash any rumours about Charles being his dad. For Queen and country…

In Pictures: Prince Harry Invades Botswana

WHILE Prince William was wearing the Order of The Garter and uncle Prince Edward was looking useful (disgusting pictures), Prince Harry was making inroads in Botswana. Wills is on his way, but Harry is the star attraction. Harry met the dancing girls. Harry had the champers.

Harry was in Gaborone, at the British High Commissioner’s residence to mark the Queen’s official birthday. Says Harry.

“As the High Commissioner said, Botswana is a country very close to my heart.”

In Pictures: Useful Prince Edward And The Order Of The Garter ‘Stumble’

THE Order of the Garter saw Queen Elizabeth II and The Duke of Edinburgh attend the Order of the Garter service at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, Windsor. They then went on The Order of the Garter Service procession, before having an Order of the Garter Tea, an Order of the Garter pint and Order of Garter Drunken Brawl. Get a load of The Duke of Wellington, Arthur Valerian Wellesley, getting “assistance” after he “stumbled” on the chapel steps. Get a load of Prince Edward making himself really useful by “offering assistance” with a smile… (Pictures 4 and 6).

The ascension of Barack Obama has laid bare the stunning extent of our own softening, the distance we’ve traveled from the people we once were.

Prelude To Paedophilia: Tea With The Queen Mum

PAEDOPHILIA is an evil, abhorrent sickness. And Paul Kidd is said to have run a “paedophile ring while serving the Royal Family”.

The Star has the news, and possibly the greatest tabloid line of all time:

“Bachelor Paul Kidd, 55, groomed at least one victim for sex by talking him for tea with the Queen Mum.”

The QM is no longer around to defend herself, having been used for kindling some years back. But even so…

Princess Diana’s Engagement Blouse And Wedding Knickers For Sale

PRINCESS Diana’s “engagement blouse” is to go under the hammer.

Not literally, although sending shards of the fabric to all corners of the world would surely be a gesture of great spiritual meaning. For such reasons, a miniature of the Diana wedding dress made from the greater wedding dress material is to also up for sale. More miniatures may be in the offing.

The Telegraph says the engagement blouse is being put up for sale by Elizabeth Emanuel, who tells us:

“It is sad, especially for me, but I don’t know what to do with them … There comes a point where it is so expensive to store.”

Yes, what with property prices so high in London, the space occupied by a blouse can go for as much £3million to £4million.

Princess Diana On A Horse And The Elephant In The Room

IT’S her. It’s Princess Diana on the front-page of the Express. Today Diana is wearing a pearl chocker, pearl earrings and a lilac collar.

This is Diana’s letter-writing outfit du jour. And the Express has peeked at her “revealing letters to nanny”.

“HOW DIANA CONFESSED IN LETTERS: WHEN I DANCE I LOOK LIKE AN ELEPHANT.”

Is that an elephant dancing, or just an elephant in a sequined dress and heels? And when did Diana see either vision, at a party, perhaps, for Prince Edward’s 21st?

Nanny is Mary Clarke, who is selling off her Diana Letters to the highest bidder. The letters are nothing short of sensational.
