There is a semi-new documentary about the future Princess of Monaco, Charlene Wittstock, and the future Queen of England, Catherine Middleton, that perhaps some of you have may never seen.
La Monarchie: Le Fabuleux Destin de Kate et Charlene recently aired on French television and now it is available on Daily Motion. Unfortunately, the French commentator, Stéphane Bern (yeah, he’s a total tool, a wannabe Historian, and a brown noser from Hell), is apart of the series. Barf. Any way, please click the link to watch: Part One (begins at the 4:24 mark) and Part Two
The series is quite interesting so enjoy! 🙂
Also, there is a nice radio interview with Charlene Wittstock from Talk Radio 702.co.za (South Africa). Click to listen: Interview with Charlene Wittstock

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.’

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. 🙂
