Kate Middleton’s younger sister, Pippa, proved her ability to hang around the rich and famous wasn’t just limited to the British royal family, as she tagged along to a cocktail party at Claridge’s last night, attended by the likes of Rod Stewart and Mick Jagger’s jewellery designer daughter Jade. Wearing what can only be described as a bright blue sack and with her face showing all the fatigue signs of someone who has attended one too many society parties, Pippa showed up at the event with a male companion who it has been speculated could possibly be her current boyfriend (and if so is probably titled.)

* William did not tell
Chinook crew or his station commander the true nature of the social events.
* The officers responsible for William's care were "counselled" over "errors
in judgement".
* Senior officers were reminded of their "supervisory
duties".
* All training flights planned by William were regarded as
"contentious" by RAF.

The Telegraph also has another article on the whole incident which the Telegraph stats is just another one of the controversies the Royals find themselves in when it comes to flying.

William and Kate: relationship under "strain"

Pictured: William and Kate in happier times.

After Katie Nicholl reported in her column for the Daily Mail on Sunday, that William and Kate’s ongoing ONFF relationship has had yet another “wobble”. Fresh reports have now emerged in the Daily Express of more “strain” on the couples ill-chosen relationship, which is hardly the royal romance of the century.

William and Kate apparently had a right royal falling out over those pictures of Kate flat on her back in all her roller skate disco glory. It seems William, like the rest of us, was not at all impressed with Kate’s conduct or her lacklustre attempt at charity. But it seems that far from growing a pair and dumping Kate the girl who likes to wait, William has holed up with Kate and some friends in Scotland on yet another make or break holiday.

“William went out deer-stalking with friends at the party, who included his old chum and mentor Mark Dyer, a former Welsh Guards officer.”

Kate however was more keen on laying low after being photographed breaking the law at the beginning of October. She is said to be “embarrassed” over the photographs showing her talking on her mobile phone whilst driving, although there has been no reports of Kate being sorry or regretful instead it appears her only issue is how this has made her look, yes Kate you look like an idiot.

Kate Middleton has been promoted at Party Pieces

Kate is now "cyber-chief" at Party Pieces.

Although there has been no news on the police investigation into Kate being photgraphed breaking the law by driving whilst talking on her mobile phone, there has been news from the Middleton camp on Kate's glowing career working for her parents company Party Pieces. An un named source revealed to Adam Heliker writing in his column for the Sunday Express, that after completing not one but two, short courses in computing Kate has now been promoted from compiling and editing catalogues to the dizzying heights of "website design editor and new business manager". It seems it didn't take much for Kate to impress her bosses who also happen to be her parents.

will she or wont she be there?

Okay, so now it's definitely not quiet on the Middleton front after some much welcomed silence of late.

It's funny how the silence it always broken by the Kate side of things. According to Katie Nicholls of the Daily Mail, she has been assured apparently that Kate will be at Prince Charles's Highgrove birthday party, and that there was a "Wobble" in her relationship with William and everything is okay now.

A "Wobble" someone pointed out to me that it was an odd expression to use? Could it be another way of saying that the relationship in on an off phase? Or was in an off phase? Or is there more to come?

Ohhh the drama! Stay tuned for more of the Will and Kate Years on the Royal Truth Blog and Forum.

Pippa the singleton is top of the tree according to Tatler magazine!

Just when we thought it was all quiet on the Middleton front, the Daily Mail today writes an article on Kate’s younger sister Pippa. That according the Tatler magazine Pippa is the most eligible single person on the social scene.

For those who don't know, Pippa Middleton is the younger sister of Kate Middleton who is the on or off girlfriend of Prince William.

I wonder and a few others are too, whether Pippa’s big sister Kate will be on that list next year?Or will Kate along side with Pippa be forgotten by the press this time next year?

Prince Harry the Gurkha?

Prince Harry has been unofficially honoured by being given a special combat knife called a Kukri. The Gurkhas also bestowed upon Harry, the title of Honorary Gurkha.

Captain Surya Gurung told The Sun: “We don’t normally give it as a present to people. Those who we give it to, it’s because they have earned it themselves. They gave it to the Prince because of his support, friendship and work with us. For us it’s not necessarily because he is a Prince, it was because he was so liked by the soldiers. He contributed to the camp and raised the morale of the boys. He should consider himself hereafter a Gurkha. I see him as a Gurkha officer because he was there in that particular time of operations in the front line - that really mattered.”

Crown Princess Victoria booed on Indian flight

Crown Princess Victoria was probably not used to the negative reception she received when boarding a plane back to Sweden at New Delhi.

The Princess was taken to the wrong terminal by officials, meaning that the plane she was meant to fly on, with a full complement of passengers onboard, had to wait for her. When they were told of the VIP presence they were also told that there would be a delay whilst her 10 additional bags were loaded. This caused the plane to erupt into a howl of booes.

A Jet Airway's spokesperson said: "The princess was taken to the wrong terminal by the government protocol personnel. The princess was carrying at least ten bags with her, which had delayed the flight. We on our part have apologized to the princess.”
