This year will mark the first Christmas Prince William and Kate Middleton (The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge) will as husband and wife and to commemorate this blessed event, a one-of-a-kind tree ornament has been designed by June Branscombe and is based on the china pattern the royal couple had the final say in:

The 11cm porcelain oval displays the ornately intertwined initials of Catherine and William on the front, with the inscription 'Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, 29th April 2011.'  It is hand-finished in 22ct gold 

The Royal Crown Derby is selling this decoration for £85 (about $133 USD) and there will only be 1500 made available! I may try to get one but it will look a little out of place beside the Homer Simpson straddling a beer bottle decoration on my tree.

What do you think of the decoration, lovely, or boring? Would you buy it?

Royal Couple Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, and Prince William, Duke of Cambridge attended the opening of the new Oak Centre for Children and Young People at The Royal Marsden Hospital in Sutton, England yesterday.

This Royal couple are keeping with tradition in visiting the Oak Centre (William's mother, Princess Diana made a solo trip in 1982) and nothing was going to prevent them from doing so. Prince William had not had any sleep in the past 24 hours due to his RAF duties (he is working on a promotion to Captain).

Kate Middleton as always, was the picture of class, grace and elegance in her £450 Amanda Wakeley dress. She is such a perfect role model for the latest generation of Royals, isn't she? I LOVE this couple and I can't wait for them to have kids. They are going to be the greatest parents.

Enjoy the pics.

Hamley’s has recently unveiled their Prince William and Kate Middleton wedding dolls (the pair is yours for £100) that are sure to give you nightmares because they are something I have to guess  Tim Burton helped design.

Prince Williams looked like he soiled himself and is having an ‘oh nuts this has never happened to a Royal before’ moment (trust me if you say it in a British Royal accent it’s actually funny. Maybe). You know you are so mortified, but find it hysterical at the same time? You don’t know whether to laugh or fall into a heap of sobs.

Kate’s makeup is total overkill and her head is HUGE. Like a bobble-head. The dress is bang on, I have to admit.

If you hate your kids this is the perfect gift to give them nightmares. This toy is not recommended for kids under 14. No kidding.

As part of their North American tour, Kate Middleton and Prince William (the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge) landed in Los Angeles over the weekend where on Saturday they hosted the The Foundation Polo Challenge held at the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club.

William’s team (The Royal Salute) won the cup against the Audi team and Catherine (at this point I don’t know whether to call her Catherine, Kate, or Duchess so I’ll use each name at some point, at times) presented him with the Tiffany trophy.

I love me some Kate Middleton and Prince William. As everyone says, these are the accessible Royals. Goodness how times have changed!

You should read the article at the WSJ, as the writer was there and tells how even the Royals used the port-o-potties!

After their very successful Canadian tour, Kate Middleton and Prince William (The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge) have touched down in Los Angeles where a crowd of fans were gathered to see them.

The Duchess wore, according to People, a pale lavender Peridot dress by Roksanda Illinic and looked lovely as per usual. With the camera adding 10 pounds that girl has the tiniest waist. I love her choice in outfits she has been wearing on this Royal Tour. Very classic, elegant and perfect for her.

They were greeted by California Gov. Jerry Brown, wife Anne Gust Brown, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and the British ambassador to the United States, Sir Nigel Sheinwald. Jerry Brown’s wife presented Kate with a red, white and blue bouquet of flowers.

The Royal couple were then driven to the Beverly Hilton. Today (Saturday) they are expected to compete in a tournament sponsored by Audi at the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club. The two will play on opposing teams as they did in Canada.

I love the athletic, competitive nature of these two. They are so real and down-to-earth, there is nothing pretentious about them despite being ‘Royals’.

Tonight they will be attending the British Academy of Film and Television Arts “Brits to Watch” event. I can’t wait to see her gown for this.

Are you excited for the Royal visit?

Prince Harry and his brother Prince William (now officially known as the Duke of Cambridge)  square  off on their horses as they take part in the Sentebale Polo Cup at Coworth Park in England.

The event had Prince Harry playing for the Sentebale team while Prince William played for the Tusk Trust Team. Despite the downpour of rain the Princes played on and with good reason:  The event raises funds and awareness for the charity that Harry co-founded in 2006 to help disadvantaged youngsters in the Southern African country of Lesotho.

What I gleam from all of this, besides being charitable? Save a horse ride a Prince. And by prince I mean Prince Harry because Willy is married.

Royal hotness after the break.
