Today, the Duke of Cambridge and his younger brother, Prince Harry, joined the BBC’s DIY SOS program to build a Manchester community for veterans of the Armed Forces. Eight of the homes are being designed for those who sustained injuries on the battlefield, while other structures (and the street itself) are being given a facelift….
If there is anyone who can say whatever he wants without the need for an apology, it’s the Duke of Edinburgh. The man has earned his right to tell you when you’re dragging your feet. Famous for his “gaffes,” Prince Philip, 94, has long been criticized for saying exactly what’s on his mind, regardless of…
If this is not the most gracious, chivalrous and well-meaning how-do-you-do, then I am a monkey’s uncle.

She’s had a brief audience with the Queen, received two visits from her paternal grandfather, and has spent extended time with her maternal granny, Carole Middleton. Now, Princess Charlotte of Cambridge is en route to Anmer Hall in Norflk, a wedding gift from Her Majesty. The couple pulled out of Kensington Palace today in their…
