As we all know, nothing is ever that straightforward when it comes to Kate Middleton, thanks primarily to the constant will-they-won’t-they wedding speculation which surrounds her and Prince William.

Now it’s yet again being suggested that Kate is set to fly across the Atlantic to meet-up with a man who has a history of working with the royals....

It’s just been announced that Diana, Princess of Wales’ former butler, Paul Burrell, will not face any police charges or further investigation over his alleged perjury at the inquest into the deaths of his former boss and her boyfriend, Dodi Fayed.

The First Lady of France has confirmed what Camilla and the rest of the world already knew: she really was scared at the prospect of meeting the Queen.

Speaking to Paris Match magazine, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy admits she found it "terribly frightening" to find herself inside the royal household before going on to hail the fact the Windsors are "a real family".

A week before the wedding of Peter Phillips and Autumn Kelly, the Princess Royal’s family have further reason to celebrate today.

It’s just been confirmed that Zara Phillips has been selected to represent Great Britain at this year’s Olympic Games in Beijing.

Now we know what Prince William really gets up to inside Clarence House with Kate Middleton: he’s been honing his Wii tennis skills!

The future king proved he's a good sport today as he was challenged to a virtual game of tennis at a centre for youngsters in Wales.

The only rule of the game? HRH had to win!

Shoppers at Harrods long ago became accustomed to seeing Raine, the step-mother of Diana, Princess of Wales, working behind the counter.

Now an even more blue-blooded lady has stepped foot onto the shop floor: none-other than the Queen's grand-daughter, Princess Beatrice of York.
