Beckham, Elton, Mr. Bean to Attend Royal Wedding
By not in system - AOL NewsLONDON - David Beckham, Elton John and Mr. Bean actor Rowan Atkinson will mingle with dozens of royal guests at Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding, according to an official guest list released Saturday that includes one uncomfortable presence - the Bahraini crown prince accused of a brutal crackdown on protesters. St. James's Palace also released the seating plan at Westminster Abbey, which showed that relatives of William's mother Princess Diana are sitting across the aisle from the royal family, joining the Middletons in an exception to the traditional division of a church into a ...
Kate Middleton Surpasses Lady Di as the Most-Mentioned Royal in the Media
By Monica Garske - AOL NewsThere are still eight days before Kate Middleton officially joins the royal family, but the princess bride is already becoming more popular than her famous crowned kin -- even the late Princess Diana. The Global Language Monitor, a Texas company that tracks word usage trends around the world, has just released a study tracing how many times Middleton has been mentioned in different types of media over the last three months. Turns out Middleton is a major headliner. People can't seem to keep her name out of their mouths. Getty Images / AP The late Princess Diana, left, was a major ...
Royal Wedding Won't Break These Records ... Unless the Cake Serves 59,001
By David Moye - AOL NewsWhen Prince William ties the knot with Kate Middleton on April 29, there's a good chance they will break lots of world records in the process. Many media experts believe the nuptials will break the current world record for the largest TV audience for a wedding, which was set July 29, 1981, during the marriage of William's father, Prince Charles, to Lady Diana Spencer. That wedding was watched by an estimated 750 million people in 74 countries. Considering that the world population has jumped by more than 2 billion people since then -- from 4.5 billion to 6.7 billion, with a corresponding ...
Prince Harry Emerges as Cool, Fun Face of Monarchy
By not in system - AOL NewsLONDON -- He's been filmed trekking through the Arctic, gives a smoldering look from the cover of a men's magazine and is being targeted by legions of young women who only a few years ago would have been lusting after his older brother. With all the attention being paid to Prince Harry, you might forget that Prince William's the one getting married. David Cheskin - WPA Pool / Getty Images Prince Harry, shown here on Saturday, is joining a group of wounded servicemen trekking to the North Pole to raise money for the charity Walking With The Wounded. "He's a cool guy, he's an ...
Retired Air Force Major Predicts UFO Sightings at Royal Wedding
By David Moye - AOL NewsThe upcoming royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton is expected to be viewed by more than a billion people worldwide -- and possibly a few extraterrestrials, according to at least one former military officer. George Filer, a retired Air Force major, runs the National UFO Center and says it's common to see UFOs around important events. "The craft seem to have an interest in anything important," Filer told AOL News. "They've been sighted recently over Libya and near the Japanese tsunami." Getty Images Some UFO researchers hope that Prince William and Kate Middleton ...
In Britain, Many Are Tiring of Royal Wedding Mania
By not in system - AOL NewsLONDON - There's still a month to go until the royal wedding and yet some Britons are already asking: Is it over yet? While millions around the world are following every detail of the wedding planning - the guest list, the cake, the carriage, the dress - others are desperately trying to tune it out. In the British press, scores of stories about the April 29 nuptials of Prince William and Kate Middleton sit alongside grimmer news: An earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis in Japan, war in Libya, and a diet of spending cuts, job losses and inflation in Britain. It's no surprise many ...
Kate Middleton Riding to Royal Wedding in Rolls Rocked at Protest
By Dana Chivvis - AOL NewsBritain's future princess Kate Middleton will ride to her nuptials at Westminster Abbey on April 29 in an already infamous set of wheels: the Rolls-Royce Phantom VI that Prince Charles and Camilla were in when they were attacked by student protesters in December. "Rolls Royce 1," which suffered a cracked window and the indignity of a splash of paint during the attack, is being repaired at the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace, CNN reports. Middleton has chosen to buck tradition, which dictates that royal brides roll to their weddings in carriages. But starry-eyed lovers of fairy-tale weddings ...
Catherine Zeta-Jones Now a Commander of the Order of the British Empire for Some Reason
By Mary Phillips-Sandy - AOL NewsShe's Catherine Zeta-Jones, CBE, if you please. Today the Welsh actress-turned-Hollywood celebrity became a Commander of the Order of the British Empire, or CBE, in a Buckingham Palace ceremony. Prince Charles bestowed the honor in recognition of Zeta-Jones' acting career and charity work. When the Queen's Honours List was announced last year, The Daily Mail sniped that Zeta-Jones "has not lived in the U.K. for over a decade, preferring the life of a sun-soaked tax exile." The Order of the British Empire was created by George V in 1917 to recognize "distinguished service to the arts and ...
'The King's Speech': Hollywood History Needn't Be Accurate
By Bonnie Goldstein - Politics DailyI don't disagree with Peter Brown's essay in Politics Daily that "The Kings Speech" is bad history. The film, nominated for 12 Academy Awards, including for Best Picture, at this weekend's Oscar ceremony, leaves the average student of 20th-century world history scratching her head. I seem to remember more about the Third Reich and Hitler's rise and wonder if there wasn't something more historically significant about Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain besides his concerns to alleviate the tongue-tiedness of the new king, George VI. Similarly, Winston Churchill's concern about Prince Albert of ...
Prince Harry to Be Best Man at William and Kate's Wedding
By not in system - AOL NewsLONDON -- Red-haired Prince Harry will be his brother's best man and Kate Middleton's stylish younger sister Pippa will be her maid of honor at Britain's April 29 royal wedding. The announcement was made Monday by St. James' Palace, the office for Princes William and Harry, confirming expectations for the highly anticipated nuptials at London's Westminster Abbey. The 26-year-old Harry has shed his partygoing image for that of a military man in recent years, and Pippa Middleton, 27, had long been the favorite for that position because of her extremely close relationship with her 29-year-old ...
