Prince Harry Back To UK! Now What's Next..?

Prince Harry has landed back on UK soil *Does a little dance* which means we have His Royal Hotness all to ourselves. After spending just under two months across the pond the red-head has returned home because the ladies are so much better here. Ok, we lied about that bit… he's back in the country as he's completed his helicopter gunship training in California and Arizona...

And if you want to be in closer proximity to Prince Harry you'll have to set up residency in Suffolk as the royal will complete his training at Wattisham Flying Station.

In light of the joyous news that he's just a train ride away, we wanted to salute his sexiness with lots of pics....! Good Luck Prince Harry....!

THE GINGER PRINCE WENT TO WAR [ POEM ]

THE GINGER PRINCE WENT TO WAR

Harry is the spare, not the heir
So he chose to follow a military career
And the ginger Prince went to war
Amidst muck and bullets, blood and gore
He is a braver man than I by some way
It's a shame the press gave the game away
Now the prince is coming home again
To the land of his grandmothers reign
For as he bravely faced the Taliban
There were dangers for the princely man
For even under the pale winter sun
He had to wear factor ninety one

Poetry: Prince Harry by Paul Curtis!

Prince Harry Back to UK After completing His Trainning in USA

Prince Harry Heads Home after Training in US!!

 Prince Harry has flown home after a nearly two month military training mission in California, which also saw the fun-loving royal let his hair down in San Diego and Las Vegas.

The 27-year-old returned to Britain on Sunday from the Naval Air Facility in El Centro in southern California, where he arrived in early October to learn to fly Apache helicopter gunships in terrain similar to Afghanistan.

"He completed his training and he was sent back to the UK," a base spokesman told AFP.
When he left the UK in October, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) noted that Harry, the third in line to the throne, would return to Britain a fully fledged Apache pilot.

"He will then be assigned to one of the Apache squadrons within 16 Air Assault Brigade where he will gain wider experience flying Apaches and taking part in exercises in the United Kingdom," a MOD statement said.

Prince Harry began his Apache training course in July 2010 with the Army Air Corps in Middle Wallop. He then moved to Wattisham Airfield in Suffolk in April 2011 before heading to California for the final stage in his course.
The prince -- or Captain Wales in his military role -- has made it clear he is determined to serve again in Afghanistan, where his deployment as a soldier in 2007-2008 had to be hastily cut short after a media blackout was breached.
British officials have declined to speculate on whether he might be allowed to return to Afghanistan. A number of the Apache attack helicopter, designed to hunt and destroy armored vehicles, are deployed in Afghanistan.
Harry wasted no time getting into the spirit of things on the first weekend of his stay in California, AFP reported.

Within hours of his arrival he was spotted in a pub and watching rugby in a downtown hotel in San Diego, about two hours away from the base in El Centro where he was stationed.

He also spent a long weekend in Las Vegas earlier this month, arriving on a rented Harley Davidson and spending three nights partying, including with a mystery blonde woman, according to local reports.....!

Colonel Barry Jenkins Of Royal Artillery Regiment: Dress Like Prince Harry

It's normal for the military to mandate what soldiers wear, from uniforms to the minor details (manicures, tattoos).

But Colonel Barry Jenkins of Britain's Royal Artillery Regiment, the artillery arm of the British Army, has sent around a hilariously specific sartorial guideline for soldiers. The key directive? Dress like Prince Harry.

In an email memo, Jenkins outlined a bit of advice for soldiers when they're wearing civilian clothes. Recommendations include a "slim elegant leather suit belt" with no big, flashy buckles and socks high enough so they "do not show your flaky, spindly, hairy Twiglet-like shin" (we love British phraseology).
The same understated look goes for footwear. According to the Daily Mail, Jenkins writes in the email, "A heavy tread and a big fat square toe won't do justice to your well-cut suit... you wouldn't put ketchup on a Dover sole." (Never!)
But when in doubt, err on the royal side. According to the Sun, the email concludes:
"If in doubt, follow Princes William and Harry for civilian clothing direction (all apart from that one-off tea cosy incident)."
While we're not completely certain what "tea cosy incident" the colonel's referring to (readers, fill us in?), we do agree that Prince Harry's got a dapper off-duty style... sometimes. We bet the colonel is no fan of the royal's motorcycle look, on full display last week: light jeans, clunky boots, plaid shirt and red bandana.
Cool? Sure. Elegant? Definitely not...!

Prince Harry to enter NASA's Astronaut Training Program!

Prince Harry is to enter NASA's Astronaut Training Program. However, it is unlikely he will begin his initial two year astronaut training phase at NASA's Johnson Space Centre in Texas until January as he feels he should be spending at least some time this Christmas with his elderly grandparents.

Even if he passes the initial 2-year training program with flying colours there would be no guarantee of him being then being offered a place on the next stage of becoming an astronaut, but there can be little doubt that having a royal astronaut taking part in one or NASA's spaceflight missions would be an exciting prospect for the American public.It would also be a boost to the economies of both Britain and America given the many royal astronaut toys and so on sure to be in demand. If chosen to become one of the candidates waiting to be selected for an actual space flight mission Harry will then enter what is called 'the advanced mission training phase', a 10 months period of training for an actual mission in space.

Super-fit Harry, since being accepted on the program he has been carrying a rucksack full of wet sand on his back when running 20 miles every morning before breakfast, is unlikely to find any difficulty in passing the required level of physical fitness, and his ability to pass the arithmetic exams, answering all the questions correctly without the use of a calculator, should not be a problem for him as he has become very good at counting down since playing darts with his army pals, and says he now knows most of the complicated check out routes by heart. The count down is of course a very important part of any space mission, though fortunately it isn't necessary for astronauts to be able to count up correctly.

Older brother Prince William, a mere helicopter pilot, insists he will feel no envy when watching his brother zooming up into orbit and beyond. He says he will just be biting his nails and praying for his safe return, and hoping of course that none of the other crew members on the space mission let his younger brother down.

Prince Harry is still a relatively young man at 27 - Neil Armstrong was 38 when he became the first man to set foot on the moon back in 1969 - and so could eventually go one better than Neil by becoming the first man to set foot on Mars. William says he'll be expecting his brother to bring him back a bar of chocolate if that ever happens....!

The Victorian Christmas Display at Windsor Castle

On December 24 1850 Queen Victoria sat down at her bureau at Windsor Castle and wrote breathlessly in her journal: ‘My beloved Albert first took me to my tree and table, covered by such numberless gifts, really too much, too magnificent!’


Now visitors to the royal residence in leafy Berkshire will, for the first time, be able to sample Christmas just as Victoria and Prince Albert did 161 years ago.


Although monarchs have celebrated Christmas at Windsor since the 12th century, the couple were responsible for popularising the celebration in the form we know today.


The Victorian Christmas displays at Windsor Castle will be open to the public from today (Saturday) until January 28 2012.

Windsor Castle is open daily, except 25 and 26 December.

Tickets are available from www.royalcollection.org.uk.

Buckingham Palace Has The Christmas Gift for You!

God save The Queen: Some of the tackier souvenirs on sale at the Buckingham Palace Gift shop 

With Christmas just around the corner, even the Queen is cashing in with a new range of festive goodies in her Buckingham Palace shop. Ranging from the eye-wateringly expensive – anyone for a £1,500 limited edition carriage clock? – to a remarkably popular £7.95 Buckingham Palace shower cap there is, as they say, something for everyone. Although whether they are all suitably regal is open to debate. At the cheaper end of the scale is a charming £8.95 fold-out advent calendar featuring the Queen’s London residence, depicting comical corgis biting the ankles of put-upon footmen and Father Christmas on the snowy roof.

Pippa Glides Over the Ice as She Attends the Launch of Tiffany & Co. Presents Skate at Somerset House

The newly-single socialite, 27 showed off her ice-skating skills at the launch of Tiffany & Co. Presents Skate at Somerset House.

The party planner looked like she had embraced the wintry theme in a chic white coat, which she teamed with a pair of black jeans and leather gloves.

Perhaps demonstrating she was no stranger to ice-skating, Miss Middleton managed to glide around quite gracefully without falling over.

After enjoying a twirl on the ice, Pippa and the rest of the attendees watched singer Emeli Sande light up the Christmas tree before performing an acoustic set.

Does Pippa Middleton Have a New Boyfriend?

Does Pippa Middleton have a new boyfriend? Rumors are swirling that the bombshell sister of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge is seeing her university friend Earl George Percy, after she spent the weekend at his family's estate, reports the Daily Mail. Pippa and George are pictured above in June 2011 at the Queen's Club tennis championships in London.

In a fun bit of trivia, the Percy's Alnwick Castle, sometimes called the "Windsor of the North," was used for interior and exterior shots of Hogwarts in the "Harry Potter" movies. It was also seen in "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves." We most notably remember the castle (pictured below) from the flying lesson scene in "Sorcerer's Stone."

Kate Middleton’s pregnant: US Magazine In Touch -- Denial by Royal Sources at Buckingham Palace

Kate Middleton in Loose Dress

Kate Middleton’s pregnant! O Really? Those have been the rumors buzzing around the newest Royal, the Duchess of Cambridge having only married to Prince William for just short of 7 months. American magazine claimed it could 'confirm' Kate is 'around six weeks pregnant.'

US In Touch Magazine definitely appear to feel they've got a dig, a Buckingham Palace insider saying "Since before they even got married, it's been made clear to William and Kate that having children should be their number-one priority".

But yesterday a Buckingham Palace spokesman refused to be drawn on the rumors, simply saying: ‘We do not comment on speculation. If there would be something positive, the world will hear from us not from US. ’

Last week officials issued a similar statement, which read: ‘This is not something we would confirm or deny.’

Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton’s wearing loose outfits and denying to eat peanut paste in a recent trip to Denmark sparked the pregnancy rumours once again.

And now US publication In Touch has claimed it can ‘confirm’ the Duchess is expecting, adding the couple had already chosen potential name: 'Edward, Philip and Michael are likely choices for a boy, Alice or Rose for a girl.'

The magazine speculated the couple have even gone as far as deciding on nurseries, ‘one in Nottingham Cottage, where Kate and William have been staying, another near their home in Wales and yet another at Kensington Palace’.

Tom Sykes on The Daily Beast quoted the Buckingham Palace denial statement, “We never confirm or deny these rumors. This is about the millionth [pregnancy] report we’ve had. If it were true, you’d hear the announcement from us and not a gossip magazine in the U.S.”

Rumour mill: Kate and Prince William  were given samples of UNICEF aid packages to taste on Wednesday with Kate politely refusing to sample peanut paste

Speculation is mounting that the Duchess of Cambridge is pregnant after she refused to eat peanut paste on her recent trip to Denmark.

According to reports, Kate gave her husband Prince William 'a knowing look' as he tucked into the sample, a staple of UNICEF packages handed out in areas suffering from famine.

Bhutan King Marries

October 23, Punakha, Bhutan - His Majesty Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuk, King of Bhutan, married the love of his life, Jetsun Pema. The king rules the relatively unknown Himalayan state of Bhutan, in a relatively lowprofile wedding, unusual to the common, glittery, and paparazzi-filled weddings, like that of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge early this year.

The King was 31 while his bride was ten years younger.

The ceremony was held in an elaborate, traditional way practiced in Bhutan since it was founded in the 16^th century, amidst monks, cheering locals, and curious media, although no foreign royalty or dignitary was around to grace the event.  

The couple receives the blessing of the country's top cleric.
