British Royal Wedding

Prince William’s ladylove Kate Middleton could soon be embarking on a new career as a fashion model-after she was approached by a modeling scout at Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday party in London.

At the Nelson Mandela concert in Hyde Park, the stunning Kate caught the eye of a clueless model scout, who told her she had “model potential” before handing her his card.

She was also wooed by a stylist from fashion magazine Wallpaper, who informed her she has “amazing style”.

Kate was dancing and singing along to Simple Minds and Amy Winehouse in the VIP golden circle when she was spotted by the two fashionistas.

“Kate was hanging out with friends, enjoying the band and drinking wine out of pint-size paper cups,” The Daily Express quoted a source, as saying.

“She is amazingly tiny in real life and we were astounded at how slender she is. Kate is tall but has a wasp waist that we thought must make her a size four, or certainly no more than a size six. She’s certainly a head-turner, though.”

“This chap was wandering past with a couple of young, blonde catwalk-model types. He suddenly stopped when he saw Kate and told her he ran his own modelling agency and that she had fantastic cheekbones and a great figure and had great modelling potential,” the source added.The source said: “She smiled and said thanks and he slipped her his card. He really didn’t seem to know it was Kate. Then this other guy went up to her and he knew exactly who she was. He told her he was a stylist for Wallpaper magazine and he loved her cowboy boots and thought she had amazing style.

“He asked if he could take a photo of her for the magazine but she told him she was flattered but wasn’t really supposed to have photos like that taken.” (via ANI)

For the first time, bookmakers William Hill are odds on at 1/2 that Prince William and Kate Middleton will get engaged in 2008.

Her appearance at a Windsor Castle Garter ceremony was the first formal sign that the Queen is preparing to welcome Kate Middleton officially into the Royal Family.

And now, just two days later, I have news which could indicate Miss Middleton’s romance with Prince William is to step up another gear. According to Ascot sources, Kate’s mother has been invited to the royal box during this week’s race meeting.

Should it take place, it will be the first official encounter between the Queen and her grandson’s possible mother-in-law.

Prince William, wearing an ostrich plumed hat and velvet robes, on Monday was made a Royal Knight of the Garter in a ceremony full of regal pomp.

The prince, second in line to the throne, was formally appointed to the most senior order of British chivalry at Saint George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, west of London.

William, who turns 26 on Saturday, was watched by his girlfriend Kate Middleton, 26, and brother Prince Harry, 23.

The Most Noble Order of the Garter is the oldest order of chivalry in the world, established in 1348 by the queen’s ancestor king Edward III.

William is now a Royal Knight Companion and the 1,000th Knight of the Garter.

Wearing their distinctive white ostrich plumes, blue velvet robes and black velvet hats, the knights and ladies were watched by about 7,000 members of the public as they walked from the castle to the chapel for the church service.
