Harry the Humanitarian

If Prince Harry had his way he would leave his royal life behind in England and move to Africa to help needy children there. The 23-year-old prince made the statement to reporters as he continued his month-long humanitarian mission in the impoverished African kingdom of Lesotho. The British royal solider is in the region trying to balance his army life and his charity work. For the next couple of weeks the handsome royal will work with Sentebale – the charity he and Lesotho’s Prince Seeiso founded in the memory of Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana. Four years ago Harry spent … Continue reading →

Princess Plays in her Birthday Suit

It wasn’t Bea in the buff; rather it was her younger sister Princess Eugenie, the daughter of Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, and Prince Andrew who was recently caught frolicking in the buff with her school chums. According to Britain’s The Sun, the 18-year-old princess was busted at her posh boarding school in Wiltshire, England, after a night out at a local pub with her school friends. (The legal drinking age in Britain is 18.) The paper reports that Princess Eugenie and her pals were celebrating the end of the school term and decided to shed their clothes (and … Continue reading →

Prince William’s Fly Moves

Prince William just earned his helicopter “wings” a few weeks ago and he’s already making headlines for questionable maneuvers. Personally, I think the entire brouhaha is quite humorous. According to British newspapers, Princess Diana’s first born was out flying a 90-foot, twin-rotor, troop-carrying Chinook last week when he decided to swing by his girlfriend’s parent’s house and show off a bit. The News of the World is reporting that William successfully maneuvered his helicopter in a field behind gal pal Kate Middleton’s parent’s home while she and her folks looked on. According to reports, the prince was only on the … Continue reading →

Prince Harry Makes the Most of His Early Return from Afghanistan

No sense in crying over spilled milk… at least that’s Prince Harry’s philosophy since a media leak sent him from the frontlines of the war on terror back home to England nearly two months before he was ready. According to British news agencies, the handsome prince has swapped a tent in the desert, which he shared with unshowered comrades for a tent on a houseboat with his gorgeous Zimbabwean girlfriend Chelsy Davy. Today’s British papers are plastered with photos of the couple’s waterborne hideaway in Botswana. The pics include captions that speak of the prince’s hasty romantic retreat. You’ll recall … Continue reading →

Royal Return

He’s baaaack! Prince Harry has returned to British soil after serving time on the frontlines in Afghanistan. The handsome royal was embraced by his brother Prince William and his father Prince Charles as he walked off the plane at the Royal Air Force Base Brize Norton, in Oxfordshire, 50 miles northwest of London. Shortly after Harry disembarked from the plane his father told reporters: “It’s a great relief to see him home in one piece.” Harry made it home safe and sound, but he’s back earlier than he expected. No thanks to the media representatives who went public with the … Continue reading →

Prince Harry Fighting the Taliban

So much for keeping it a secret mission. Prince Harry has spent the last 10 weeks on the frontline in Afghanistan serving his country alongside his fellow soldiers. Only the world was not supposed to know about it. Of course, he is the son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana, so it should come as no surprise that someone let out that the 23-year-old second lieutenant in the Blues and Royals regiment of the Household Cavalry had finally gotten his wish to join his fellow British countrymen in the war-torn country. According to news reports, Harry arrived in … Continue reading →

Queen Elizabeth Internet Star?

Prince William’s granny is going global… via the World Wide Web. Britain’s 81-year-old royal matriarch is entering foreign territory, but the queen says she is up to the task. Queen Elizabeth II, Britain’s oldest-ever monarch and an icon of traditionalism, launched her own special Royal Channel on YouTube today. Which just goes to prove that it is never too late to join the YouTube generation. The queen’s introduction to the popular video-sharing website comes a little more than 36 hours before she sends out her 50th annual televised Christmas message, which will be streamed on her YouTube site. The queen’s … Continue reading →

Pop Culture Potpourri: Prince Harry Makes Amends and Janet Jackson Calls Michael “Freaky”

It might just be the shortest break up in royal history. Last month Prince Harry and his blonde bombshell of a girlfriend Chelsy Davy called it quits after three years together. (Technically he got dumped.) But, according to the British newspaper News of the World, the handsome couple appear to have reconciled. Paparazzi snapped the Zimbabwean beauty being dropped off near Prince Harry’s home Saturday night. And as the British tabloids were only too happy to note, the 22-year-old college student didn’t leave the prince’s London residence until Sunday morning. The News of the World quotes a royal source as … Continue reading →

Prince Harry Gets Dumped

Who dumps a prince anyway? Prince Harry may finally be getting a taste of what it’s like to have girl troubles. (Must run in the family.) British newspapers are reporting that Harry and his girlfriend of more than three years, Chelsy Davy have broken up. The News of the World is saying that the 22-year-old stunning blonde ended the romance in a series of tearful phone calls, telling Harry: “It’s over.” Sources say Davy grew tired of the prince’s playboy lifestyle and his “total lack of commitment.” You know, I did think it was strange that Harry attended the rugby … Continue reading →

Can The Royals Finally Stop Running?

The British press is reporting that Prince William recently whisked girlfriend Kate Middleton to the scene of some of their first dates–the Highlands of Scotland. William and Kate are reportedly staying at Queen Elizabeth’s Balmoral estate where they are said to be engaging in their favorite field sports. It’s not earth-shattering news, but there are two points that intrigued me about the story. First, the young couple reportedly flew from London to Scotland on a British Airways flight and did not accept any special treatment. Which meant they were offered the same in-flight snack as all the other passengers–a choice … Continue reading →
