He may have had better things to do other than smoke such as spending most of the night kissing Chelsy, but it seems Harry was also trying to do something far more useful. The Mirror's 3am girls revealed that Harry spent most of the night chewing on a lollipop stick, fighting the urge to smoke.

At one stage Harry was caught trying to inhale the air when a door was opened and in flooded cigarette smoke from outside. Harry told The Mirror's 3am girls: "What can I say, girls? I'm dying for a fag. I've been desperately trying to give up so I keep chewing this thing to stop me wanting one. I just can't stand on the street outside and light up like everyone else, so I have to make do with this."

Britain's have voted on what makes Britain truly Britain. Coming in at #2 were the British Royal Family aka the Windsors.

The survey was conducted by British bread company Warburtons, with spokeswoman Jane Sutton, telling the Daily Express: “Our new advertising campaign takes a look at Britain through the eyes of a businessman visiting for the first time, so we commissioned this research to discover what Britons think distinguishes us from other countries.

The results were as follows:

1. Fried breakfasts.

2. British Royal Family.

3. Pubs & warm beer.

4. Sense of humour.

5. Regional accents.

Princes William & Harry pay tribute to fallen soldier

Princes William & Harry have paid tribute to a fallen collegue who died during his deployment to Afghanistan, with Wills remembering him as an 'exceptional soldier'.

The Sun reports: 'Tpr Munday, from Birmingham, took the brunt of a big explosion hitting his vehicle, believed to have been caused by an old SOVIET-era landmine. He was on routine patrol to show his replacements the ropes near the town of Garmsir in Helmand province — after six months of fighting in the badlands. Tpr Munday was pronounced dead at the scene. The two other soldiers in his Jackal 4x4 vehicle were injured.'

Known as 'Magpie' to his friends, Trooper Munday was due to return from his deployment to Afghanistan in just 2 weeks.

A Clarence House spokesperson told The Sun: “Together with the rest of their regiment, the two Princes’ heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this most distressing of times. Prince William and Prince Harry are deeply saddened to hear that Trooper James Munday has been killed in action. He was in D Squadron with Prince William, and he remembers him as an exceptional soldier.”

"Kate who?": Prince William seen swapping phone numbers with Paris Hilton

Prince William has been spotted swapping phone numbers with Paris Hilton. According to The Mirror, Paris was escorted by Guy Pelly, firstly to Christina Aguilera's table and was met with a frosty acknowledgement. Then Pelly took Paris to see his old buddy Prince William.

The Mirror article states: 'To ease the frosty atmosphere Guy led Paris to Wills’ table – a safe 30 yards away. There she got stuck into the free Moet and told us: “Don’t you love the Princes? They are so hot. I just had to say hi.”

But according to those nearby, Harry and initially Wills, were not as happy to see Paris. The Mirror says: 'Sadly, the feeling wasn’t mutual – at least not at first. Harry scarpered and when Wills returned he was not amused to find Paris holding court at his table. She tried to cosy up to him on the couch and he even turned his shoulder and started talking to a mystery blonde on his right. But when that girl went to the loo, Paris moved in.'

But Wills seemed to change his mind after a while and the heir to the throne and the heir to an absolute fortune seemed to become quite close. The Mirror insider continues: 'We were about to rush to William’s rescue, then we saw they were swapping phone numbers. Xtina who? And, more importantly, Kate who? Half an hour later we saw Paris apply more lipgloss, while asking Wills: “Does this look OK?” Not the best chat-up line, but it seemed to work. Wills was glued to her side or the rest of the night.'

It seems that it did indeed work as The Mirror continued: 'As the lights came on at 3.15am, the royal bodyguards tried to round up the Princes. But Wills was reluctant to go. “Make sure she [Paris] gets out of here OK,” he ordered one flunkey.'

Aw bless him!
