The Queen is said to be furious at the Hello! feature spread of Autumn and Peter Phillips' wedding. The spread, which includes every high ranking member of the Royal Family (apart from Prince William) as well as Chelsy Davy and Kate Middleton, was reportedly not meant to include private pictures of the family inside the Chapel and at the reception. At least that's what Buckingham Palace officials are saying. It seems that fact was not communicated with Autumn & Peter Phillips who, it's now been revealed, had the final say in what pictures would be used and of whom. Generally public sentiment is that no one cares if Peter and Autumn sold the rights to their wedding, they are after all private citizens who are not paid for by the British taxpayer.

Kate and Chelsy outshine the bride
Kate Middleton & Chelsy Davy made a lowkey entrance into St George's Chapel for the wedding of Peter Phillips and Autumn Kelly. Pictured in a full 50 double page spread in Hello! magazine, the royal on-off girlfriends were photographed watching the service from pews behind the chapel choir. They were also photographed dancing and laughing at the reception and mingling with royalty.

Royal wedding: Kate's going, Wills isn't!
It seems that Wills and Kate are not holidaying as rumours would have us believe. It's been widely reported that Prince William has flown to Kenya to attend the wedding of his former flame, Jecca Craig's brother, Batian Craig. Jecca Craig has always been heralded as William's first love, having been his guest of honour at his 21st birthday party many moons ago. The pair were said to be so in love that they had a mock engagement. To say that both William and Jecca have history is an understatement.
The press are also reporting that Kate Middleton will attend Peter Phillips' wedding to Autumn Kelly by herself, acting as a quasi stand in for William. This goes against current royal protocols and can't really be considered as fact. If Kate goes it will be a simple case of her being invited and accepting. She will not have any official or unofficial role to play and will not be seated near to the royal family. Her appearence however, could prompt more specuation of an engagement between Wills and Kate. But because of William's absence perhaps more questions about the strength of their relationship will be asked.

Autumn Kelly renounces the Catholic faith
The Queens grandson Peter Phillips is set to marry his longterm girlfriend, Canadian Autumn Kelly in May. But before this could happen, the prickly issue of Autumn being a Catholic had to be solved. Cue the Church Of England, to which Autumn has converted.
It seems that although it's not possible for a member of the British Royal Family to marry a Catholic and keep their place in the Line of Succession, it's perfectly alright for an inductee to convert faiths, thus allowing their royal partner to retain their spot in royal lineage.
Recently there have been rumbles within the British political elite regarding making the accessional rules far more female and Catholic friendly. If implemented, this would have brought the sometimes staid British Royal Family into the present day and in line with the more progressive European Royal families such as Sweden and Denmark. But alas the politicos have once again come up with a brilliant idea only to pack it away in the too hard basket.
Back to Autumn Kelly's conversion. A Buckingham Palace spokeswoman said: "Autumn Kelly was welcomed into the Church of England some time ago," she said. "Her decision to give up her Catholic faith means that Mr Phillips, who is 11th in line to the throne even though his mother decided he should not have an HRH title, will not have to renounce his claim."
