Newsy Stuff

I have always been a big fan of the "story behind the story". Amy Williams at the Daily Mail has written a really interesting article about the behind the scenes stories of the Royal Wedding. She interviews some key players in the big day (including Kate's hairstylist, the royal photographer and the guy who opened the car door for Kate, among others). It's really fascinating to hear what people who were so close to the action were experiencing and thinking. Read it HERE.

As we wait for Kate & Will's big trip to North America it is being reported that Kate has chosen not to keep a lady-in-waiting. It has been suggested that her sister, Pippa, might fill this role. Many believe it might be the only way for the two to remain so close, as there is speculation that the Royals will attempt to isolate Kate from her family. This remains to be seen, but for now Kate and Will continue to take a low-key approach to royal life. The choice to not have a lady-in-waiting is said to be one that will be given a trial run, until Kate is more comfortable and can determine if she will truly needs one. It may seem strange to be waffling on a decision of whether one requires a person in one's life whose role is to help one get dressed, but we must remember that on a visit such as the one Kate & Will are making to North America, Kate will be required to wear at least two and possibly three outfits a day. In fact, though the term is old fashioned, there are many celebrities in today's world that employ such people. They just happen to call them stylists. Kate will have some help planning her wardrobe for the trip and is expected to wear a mix of designer and high street fashions. (get ready REISS!)

As always, we will be on it.
