Wills is prince of wheels – The Sun
Prince William has splashed out on a sporty Audi – just like his mum did 15 years ago. William, 27, sped away from Gatwick airport yesterday in a grey Quattro as he arrived from a Caribbean holiday with girlfriend Kate Middleton… [links to pics here]
Prince-robbing pair arrested in seconds – The Sun
Two hapless burglars were arrested when they tried to rob the home of Princes William and Harry – one of Britain’s best-protected properties. The raiders are thought to have had no idea who was living at the secluded residence…
How I hate meeting royalty – Telegraph
In an exclusive extract from his new biography of James Lees-Milne, Michael Bloch describes a series of the witty diarist’s dealings with the royal family. Meeting the Prince of Wales at drinks with the Queen’s Private Secretary at Windsor, Jim did not find him very bright or well-informed, but thought he had “the best complexion of a young man I have ever seen”…

Good Evening,
I can see the royal news has been very slow. I came across this CBS News video and I decided to share it with you. This video is acting a bit funny and you can’t hear the royal “experts” talk but you can hear the news anchor speak. This probably came out because this is the 12th anniversary of the late Princess of Wales’s death.

Hopefully they will fix the video and we will be able to hear what the royal ‘experts’ are saying.
May Diana rest in peace.

LOL silly me, I forgot to mention that the video is about William & Kate. It mentions about her being groomed to become the next Princess.

Rman, thanks for sharing that video.
Since KN is one of the royal “experts,” I don’t think the problem with the audio is such a big deal. 
The less we hear from her, the better. Lol.
Teresa, William IS driving in the above photo. He’s seated on Kate’s right. (He seems to drive whenever the two of them are together.)

I also came across this TV movie on YouTube called: The Women of Windsor. It was made in the early 90’s and it focused on The Wales’s & York’s. Their marriage problems was something the tabloids really enjoyed.

I hope you guys enjoy the movie. The only part I didn’t like about the movie is that they make the Queen look too stuffy.

LOL, I suppose you are right Katherine. I was surprised to see Royal Watcher Victoria Mather speaking, I haven’t seen her talk about the royals in a longtime. She is one of my favorite royal watchers, her and Judy Wade.

Rman, thanks SO much for posting “The Women of Windsor” video link. I’ve never heard of that movie, but it looks very interesting. Maybe a large bowl of popcorn is in order…
August 31st, 2009 18:06
LOL, I enjoyed it Katherine and I hope you and everybody will too.
I just wanted to post another good version of the news video on William & Kate. You can hear the royal watchers here.

It’s under U.S. & World on CBS.
Now KN says that 2010 and 2011 is clear for a wedding.
August 31st, 2009 18:07
The media like to mess with our heads when it comes down to this wedding.
August 31st, 2009 19:54
Rman, thanks for the latest update.
On a separate note… when we finally have a date for William and Kate’s wedding, do you suppose KN will say she “knew all along” that Kate was the right girl for William? LOL. Just wait and see how many of these self-proclaimed “experts” will be forced to eat crow and alter their views on this match.
August 31st, 2009 20:03
Katharine, I make red current jelly, I hear it goes well with crow!!

Rman, Thanks for uploading The Women of Windsor. What a sad story. It makes me admire Sarah Ferguson all the more given how she has rebuilt her life.

You are welcome Dymphna. I had never seen that movie before and was glad that I came across it. There were many TV movies about Diana & Sarah made in the early 90’s and my favorite was the movie Diana: Her True Story.
I had totally forgot that Diana & Sarah dressed up as police detectives and raided Andrew’s stag party. They even use to have racing contests in the Queen Mother’s Daimlers. Diana would drive one and Sarah would drive another, and they just raced up and down the place. Their marriages was sad but they had some fun back in the day.
