Working nine-to-five, Princess Bea serves as a shop girl - Daily Mail
While her older cousins spent their gap years abroad, it seems Princess Beatrice will spend her time off serving the British public - in a way she’s never done before. The Queen’s granddaughter yesterday began her unpaid work experience at retail giant Selfridges where she will be working nine to five…
Carla Bruni-Sarkozy speaks of Queen ‘fear’ - The Telegraph
Carla Bruni-Sarkozy has described the “terrible fear” she felt before meeting the Queen on her recent state visit to Britain. She also revealed that she was filled with anxiety about letting down French women — “the world’s most elegant” — during the visit and told how she took a crash course on protocol for her now famous curtsy…
William shows he’s inherited his mother’s common touch - Daily Mail
Prince William showed he had inherited his mother’s common touch today when he made a group of youngsters laugh by blowing a raspberry. The royal broke with protocol during a visit to South Wales this afternoon by getting down on his knees to say hello to the schoolchildren - and onlookers loved it during his visit to Porth…

why is princess b working 9-5,i thought she was going to fashion university,or something
May 9th, 2008 08:35
Maybe an opportunity showed up. It happens in real life, and you take or not that ‘bus’.
No salary, it sure is a part ‘learning process’ practice, not theory, but mix the both and your in an advantage situation.

University only starts in September or October. I understand Bea is working till then so as not to appear to be slacking around.
William looks really cute with kids. It’s weird though that he’s dressed up in a suit. One would guess a pair of jeans should do to play football with the youngsters. No need to send him there looking like a stiffy royal.

this is a sale book??? why in all that books doesnt have “a Royal Duty” book, i like that one than else
May 10th, 2008 11:31
MARISKA - “A ROYAL DUTY” was written by Paul Burrell (he also had another book published about Diana). IMO, this man not only betrayed Princess Diana but also her sons. He did not show proper discretion and respect to the Princess and I am glad that BRW did not add his book to the site. Too many people have made money off Diana’s name but I believe he was the worst of the bunch.

The rebranding of Princess Chelsy: Prince Harry’s girlfriend ditches the miniskirts and Red Bull as she prepares to meet The Queen

htey’re going to turn her into a kate clone ,run chelsy run
May 10th, 2008 22:51
Seems they like Kate’s look…i thought so.
May 10th, 2008 23:58
Two outings - CD dresses with the KM style and people did like her outfits, the tabs, the posters. I think its really hard for the Katers (Kate haters) to find words to not say so. :shrug:
But, this doesn’t really mean that CD is going through a mini “rebranding”, until we really see if she goes through a mini “rebranding”, which time will tell. (related to the mini rebranding written by Katie Nicholl)
I’ve heard all kinds of excuses from Katers, really childish :roll eyes:
I say, just let the girl be, if she wishes to rebrand, rebrand it will be, she loves her guy, and they probably spoke about it and had their ISSUES.
Isn’t that normal in a couple to discuss their issues ? specially in such a high profile position !
But, I know this will be highly talked about during the weekend-week. I hope too see pics of her at the wedding.
Katie Nicholl says PW/KM will not go, there goes another journalist who says so, lets see.
May 11th, 2008 09:37
Chelsy please don’t become Kate inorder to fit in there is no need. I like you just the way you are.
May 11th, 2008 10:12
Seems like to Katie Nicholl and two events, she already is “rebranding”…
May 11th, 2008 10:59
Looks like the papers don’t know what to write anymore. Isn’t it only natural that Chelsy would dress more conservative for an official event than for a night out in Bouji or the beach in SA? How is that “rebranding”?
I do hope though that the part about Chelsy and Kate befriending each other is true, though I haven’t seen a lot to indicate as much.
Yet, the articles already shows what Autumn and Peter’s wedding will be about. If William and Kate are indeed on holiday (and I still can’t imagine they will be), the articles will simply focus on “newly rebranded” Chelsy instead. God beware, they’d actually have to focus on the bride and groom. So if William and Kate only avoid the wedding to allow Autumn to shine, they should rethink their decision. If it’s not Kate that makes the front pages, it’ll be Chelsy. And Chelsy and Harry don’t seem to mind stealing the show.
May 11th, 2008 11:21
The other problem I see with Wills and Kate on holiday is if Autumn gets upstaged by a bikini clad Kate in the tabloids because the tabloids are more interested as to why William and Kate didn’t go. I think they’ll cause less fuss by being at the wedding then being on holiday. I don’t think the Queen will be too amused if she see Kate in a bikini splashed all over the tabloids instead of them focusing on the wedding.
May 11th, 2008 11:25
Good point, Jess. I guess Kate in a bikini is even more interesting (from a tabloid’s pov) than her at Peter and Autum’s wedding.
I think no matter what William does (and the same goes for Harry) he cannot really change the fact that Peter and Autumn will never be quite as interesting as him. The best would be if William and Harry went to the Church service without their girlfriends and only took them to the private receptions later. That would deprive us curious watcher of beautiful pictures but would be the best to assure Autumn some attenion at least.
May 11th, 2008 11:28
I guys, I still think they will go to the wedding. I don’t know why this hasn’t been cleared up in the press. If they do miss the wedding then it must be for a big reason. There is a film being aired tomorrow about Prince Philip called The Duke: A Portrait of Prince Philip. I think it will be good. On ITV1.
May 11th, 2008 12:16
I want to see that Prince Philip show. I’ve always found him amusing.
On the other hand I’m hope your right Claudius and W&K will go to the wedding and this is just a decoy. However I don’t know why they don’t just turn up without all the fuss but instead we’ve got all these rumours flying around. These rumours have got to have come from somewhere. I’m hoping there is some truth to it but the pair will go to the wedding and go on holiday after. It seems like a better idea to me because then everyone is happy.
May 11th, 2008 12:22
From the press, where else, no need to analyse deeply. They (press) played the same game to sell papers with the wing ceremony, she’s banned, after going, she was invited, then last minute invited = people read that and buy it, front page, pay for it.
May 11th, 2008 21:15
I think it’s another ploy to distract from Will and Kate going to the wedding. I can’t imagine they would miss that. I’ll bet they are there.
