wedding

Kate Middleton got drunk there. Admittedly there are no such proclamations outside the Old Boot Inn pub in Stanford Dingley, Berkshire, but as the Kate Middleton country tour confirms this is the future Princess' favourite pub and, given the grand tradition of English tippling, it’s very likely she has had one too many ales or pear ciders or vodka Slimlines (a popular chick drink here) at the establishment over the years.

Poor Fergie. If the public humiliation of drunkenly trying to sell your ex-husband's influence to an undercover News of the World reporter dressed up as a sheik isn't enough, what about being shut out of the most important social event of the decade? The Duchess of York’s ex, Prince Andrew, an uncle of the groom, is planning to attend the wedding, as are her daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. Now that must hurt, but it's also hardly unexpected—even for Fergie.

If you were waiting with baited breath for an official announcement about the dress, it appears you’re going to have to be more patient. With less than 12 weeks to go before the big day, palace officials have recently revealed that Kate Middleton has not yet signed a contract with a designer.
