Kate Middleton advises Chelsy Davy on how to pick her friends – Daily Mail
Having taken Chelsy Davy under her wing to deliver some much-needed sartorial advice and tips on how to conduct herself, Kate Middleton is now counselling her on the company she keeps. Kate told Prince Harry’s Zimbabwean girlfriend to lose some of her less scrupulous friends when she returns to Leeds University in September…
Beatrice and Eugenie to take on more royal charity work – The Telegraph
While their mother has stayed away from Royal occasions since she divorced the Duke of York, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are to be given significant roles within “the Firm”. “Because of their HRH titles and their security costs, there is a feeling in some circles that the Princesses have a ‘debt’ to repay,” says a courtier…
Where are our anti-royalists when you need them the most? – The Guardian
Fans of Prince Harry will recall that underwear was, in fact, the only part of his wardrobe not shown earlier this year, when the royal gunman was filmed beating off waves of battle-hardened Taliban fighters. His brother William was also conventionally dressed last week when, as one of many admiring headlines revealed, his ship pulled off a ‘£40m cocaine bust during his first week at sea’…
Letters from British royals sold at auction of servant’s collection – AFP
Memorabilia belonging to a former British royal servant, including a letter from the late princess Diana after the birth of Prince William, shattered pre-sale estimates at auction Saturday.

I agree with the first story: Chelsy should pick her friends.
I saw too many of private photos shown to public. Dunno, but it’s just not elegant for her “friends” to glare out the pics. If they really are her friends (trustworthy friends of course), then they shouldn’t do that to her.
We need some mystery, don’t you think? :p *lol* That’s what makes their stories sort of fairy tales to dream about.

I agree Chelsy could need some advise on how to chose discreet friends who don’t publish every picture they take of her on some internet site.

Unfortunately I disagree. I really hope that this isn’t true because so far as I am concern I don’t see what right Kate has to tell Chelsy how to pick her friends. It’s Chelsy’s business.
Maybe Chelsy does need to keep an eye on her friends but that is up to her not Kate. She’s a smart enough girl she’s doing a Law degree for heaven’s sake she’s not stupid besides Harry is probably the best one to advise her on her company since he is actually a Royal.

I hope that Beatrice and Eugenie get some help with their wardrobe. Some of the pictures I’ve seen indicate that it is needed. Maybe what is needed is a good mirrored dressing room so they can see what they really look like. As a royal they should look their age, but have clothes that are smart and well fitted.

Hello,
In all honesty, there is only one person who can tell CD who to have as her friends.
That is herself.
I don’t care who or what , she has the right to make her own mind up on this without comment or censure.
