New York ready for Prince Harry Visit
Prepare For Possible Harry Mania! – CBS News (with video)
Britain’s Prince Harry makes his first official visit to the United States starting Friday. He plans to talk about serious issues and raise money to help African children but the paparazzi almost certainly have other plans…
Harry makes first official trip – BBC News
Prince Harry is visiting the site of the World Trade Center in New York as part of a US trip which is his first official overseas engagement. BBC correspondent Laura Trevelyan, who is covering the visit in New York, said the visit had been “carefully choreographed to dispel his playboy prince image”…

And while refined Brits hate to talk about money, Harry’s secretary announced that the Queen will cover the estimated $40,000 trip out of her own pocket rather than dumping it on the taxpayer. “As it’s not a full-fat royal trip,” Lowther-Pinkerton said, “the Queen has very graciously offered to foot the bill, which is very kind of her.”…

Evening Everyone,
I’m trying to follow the coverage of Harry’s visit and some of the pictures looks very nice.
Mathilde, I saw the video and it seems like KN is waiting just like we all are. I don’t know why she is saying that the leak came from Canada when clearly the BBC leaked their info. If their leak was false, they would have totally denied that they had a leak and there was no plan to do a documentary.

The Daily News website has a picture and a short article (finally). The New York Times is ignoring it.

Just saw the CBS interview with Hatie Katie…
On the good side, lots of positive press on how Harry is maturing.
On the bad side, the US interviewer insistent “humorous” remarks about how Nichols job was in jeopardy because the princes were being too good and not making any news.
Weird interview…

My mistake. It’s on their CityRoom blog: http://tinyurl.com/mwr4n8

Katie Nicholl is completely pathetic. It is too bad CBS is so clueless and keep hiring her as a royal correspondent when she has no facts and that is proven by article that she writes that turn out to be false. I have no idea where the Canada thing came from either. The article that broke the BBC story as in the Telegraph. The last I looked,the Telegraph was a British publication. Maybe said that to avoid giving the Telegraph credit for the story? She’s a fool. She proved it with her skiing story back in feb.

It’s a possibility, that the documentary the BBC are making is in conjuction with an Canadian channel.
Thanks for the link Mathilde.
What on earth was KN wearing? It looked like 60’s wallpaper.

Ok,Hale, I can agree that maybe the tip about the BBC production came from a Canadian affiliate but KN is still despicable in my book!
May 29th, 2009 16:56
Lisa said, ”KN is still despicable in my book”
You’ll get no argument from me on that one.
May 29th, 2009 16:58
Hey, best photo of the day, I’ve just clicked on your link.
Lisa, have you seen the link? Maybe KN was there and Harry avoided her by hiding behind the shrub. No wonder he looked pleased with himself.

The tree is an “Elizabeth” Magnolia according to the Daily News and the Times.
May 29th, 2009 18:30
LOL Hale,
I’m still got my fingers crossed that next year a wedding will take place. Hopefully William will find some time after the wedding to come to the U.S as well but I’m glad that Harry is here. Too bad it’s a very short visit, I’m sure President Obama would have liked to welcome him to the White House.

I agree with everyone’s assessment of KN. She went out of her way to express her glee at the fact the boys did not have time for girls, parties, etc. Harry has several times recently been reported about entertaining some young lady. If KN were right, where is he getting the time? Within the last week the Sun was reporting that that William was helping Harry with his studies.I would believe that. Secondly, every news outlet, blog etc has directly said that the BBC reported the engagement announcement between William and Kate was coming soon. It was also said that the BBC was assured that there would be an engagement between William and Kate. Nothing was ever said about Canada. Finally, KN was just a little too excited, bubbly about the boys and their studies. Her attidue does not come across as being sure of her information.
May 29th, 2009 19:57
Kat I agree.
I just got through watching The Young Victoria online and may I say that is a very good movie and it leaves room for a sequel. The movie can be seen online and the DVD comes out in July, I think.

Love the pic of Harry peaking out of the Magnolia Tree! Reminds me of the “Green Giant.”

Re: Pres. Obama. According to the NY Times, a source has told them that the Pres. and his wife are coming to town for the weekend. Will be taking in a Broadway show on Sat. night. Supposedly this is a private visit, but curious that they’re both in town at the same time.

Rman,
I saw it online last week and loved it!

When he turned his rear to the British press, he quipped, “You’ve got the best view!”

well i love those pics aside from harry visit to new york what activities

Talk about Kate aging, I think KN looks a little rough compared to the last time I saw her. Maybe she has lost a little bit of weight and is looking slightly sallow or has jet lag or something.
