Meanwhile, Crown Princess Mary’s best friend,  bridesmaid, and the Ron Burgundy of radio hosts, Amber Petty, spoke to the Sun-Herald noting that:

…she was planning a trip to Denmark later in the year to meet the new additions.  ’I am really looking forward to seeing the babies,’ said Petty, who has a new man herself in Channel Nine managing director and former sports lawyer Jeff Browne.

I have no doubt that Ms. Petty will be in Denmark for the royal twins christening.  So stay tuned!

HRH Prince Harry of Wales and his brother’s fiancée, Catherine Middleton, attended a grand wedding this evening in Britain.

According to the Sun newspaper, Prince William’s close friend, Harry Aubrey-Fletcher, married his longtime gal, Miss Louise Stourton.

The bride looks like she wore a giant bed-sheet while the groom looked, well, dazed.

Meanwhile, Miss Catherine Middleton looked very happy… beaming knowing that her own wedding to HRH Prince William was just months away.  Miss Middleton wore a knee length black velvet coat, black hat, black knee length dress, and purple shoes.  Of course, she wore her trademark black eyeliner encircling her eyes like a raccoon (gurl, just stop!  Step away from the black eyeliner!)

Oh and Princess Beatrice was there… looking like a frightful hot mess.
