Fresh from her short visit to New York City, HRH Prince Harry of Wales’s on again, off again, on again, off again girlfriend, Chelsy Davy along with Catherine Middleton’s sister, Pippa, enjoyed a night on the town last night.

According to the Swedish magazine, Svensk Damtidning, the two woman were at the “Eyes Wide Shut Masquerade” charity event at Club Public in London with their friends. The British newspaper, the Daily Mail, is speculating that the two were, “Plotting a hen party for Pippa’s sister, Catherine Middleton.”

Yeah, right.

Any way, other attendees at the charity event included Princess Beatrice looking a hot mess as usual, Princess Eugenie, Holly Branson, and a pathetic looking and otherwise desperate of a woman, Sarah Ferguson.

Camilla, The Duchess of Cornwall and Catherine Middleton: Together at Last

February 10, 2011 Alexandra 2 Comments

No, they are not having an affair, but they did have lunch together on February 9, 2011.

According to the Richard Kay, a reporter from the Daily Mail, Britain’s future Queens dined at a new restaurant at the Berkeley Hotel in Knightsbridge. Catherine wore her hideous trademark black suede books, beige blazer (another trademark… freaking blazers), black tights, a patterned dress, and a globs of black eyeliner (another trademark.) While Camilla wore a purple plaid number that made everyone dizzy when they looked at her outfit. Apparently, Catherine’s sister, Pippa, joined the cuddly lunch along with Camilla’s daughter, Laura.

It is unknown what the group talked about during their time together; however, according to the Daily Mail:

A fellow sitting just two tables away, tells me: ‘All four women were talking away like mad and none of the waiters could get a word in edgeways to serve their lunch.

I heard Camilla saying… ‘if I can give you one bit of advice…’ Kate was really enjoying the moment.

‘I did hear talk of trumpets and someone said ‘we can’t have trumpets, the ceiling is too high’’, which may have been a reference to Westminster Abbey.’

HRH The Prince Charles, Prince of Wales Speaks at the Low Carbon Economy Conference in Brussels, Belgium

February 10, 2011 Alexandra

You know, I’ve always liked HRH Prince Charles, and this afternoon his speech at the European Parliament regarding the environment and climate change just made me like him even more.

Prince Charles was among a panel of VIPs at the Low Carbon Economy conference in Brussels, Belgium. During the conference the Prince basically called out those who are skeptics regarding climate change and so forth. Here is a snippet of what HRH Prince Charles had to say:

‘We have to see that there is a direct relationship between the resilience of Nature’s ecosystems and the resilience of our national economies,’ he told Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), business leaders, and other policy makers.

‘If the fabric of the Earth’s life-support system fragments, as it appears it may be starting to do; if those systems become weak or even collapse—essentially, if Nature’s capital loses its innate resilience—then how long does it take for our economic capital and economic systems to lose their resilience too?’

‘I cannot see how we can possibly maintain the growth of GDP in the long term if we continue to consume our planet as voraciously as we are doing.’

BRAVO! Now, if only Prince Charles would stop wearing leather and consuming slaughtered innocent animals than I would adore him even more. 🙂

HRH Prince Harry of Wales and Chelsy Davy “Smuggled Out of a Club in a Boot [Trunk]”!”: The WTF Moment of the Year!!

February 7, 2011 Alexandra

This has got to be one of the most bizarre stories I’ve heard in years.

On February 5, 2011 HRH Prince Harry of Wales and Chelsy Davy (the “we love to break up and get back together every five minutes because we love drama” couple) were at a the nightclub, Beaufort House, with some friends. As the night came to an end, around 4am, the couple left the shishi club to head home.

No biggie, right?

Welllll…

Instead of riding in the backseat of their chauffeured driven car the drama couple decided that they didn’t want to be photographed together so they had the brilliant idea to stuff themselves into the trunk of their car.

Say whaaa?!

Here is what happened according to the Australian newspaper, NineMSN:

The couple were bundled into the boot [trunk] of a Jaguar so they could be smuggled out of the exclusive Beaufort House on King’s Road at 4am Sunday morning, according to the reports.

Security staff are said to have helped clear the boot [trunk] of luggage so Harry and Davy could squeeze themselves inside.

The Mirror [British newspaper] quoted an unnamed friend of Davy and Harry, saying the famous pair had been trying to avoid paparazzi and other onlookers.

‘Most people had gone by the time they finally called it a night and headed home — together — in a blacked-out Jaguar at 4am on Sunday morning.

They were trying to keep a really low profile.’

Keep a low profile?

Yeah, they are really keeping a low profile when some big burly security guards are moving luggage from the trunk to the backseat of a car, in front of a well-known nightclub, so that a hot blonde and a six-foot something royal red-head can shove themselves into the trunk.

Yeah, nobody would ever notice.

February 3, 2011 Alexandra 1 Comment

This is a great article from the British newspaper, The Mirror.

Apparently, the artist known as “Zoobs” decided to rework and otherwise update the infamous and epic 1977 Sex Pistols album cover, Never Mind Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols. Instead of having HM Queen Elizabeth II face on it, “Zoobs” decided to use the future Queen of England, Catherine Middleton.

According to The Mirror newspaper:

The piece, by Zoobs, also has the words ‘God save the future Queen’ printed across the top and bottom of the image, while the words ‘the next pistol’ are printed across the royal fiancee’s mouth.

LOVE IT!!!!!

In case you have never seen the original artwork, by Jamie Reid, featured on the 1977 album cover, well… this is it. The piece is so famous, I’m sure you’ve seen it before:
