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 ...
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.

London Boot Camp Held for Pint-Size 'Princesses'
By not in system - AOL NewsLONDON -- A scene straight from "My Fair Lady" played out at a posh London hotel Saturday as a dozen girls in frilly dresses attended a "princess boot camp" ahead of this month's royal wedding. The pint-size wannabe princesses learned how to walk straight, eat with decorum and curtsy. Never mind that it's doubtful any of them will come within spitting distance of the royals at the April 29 wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. But if they did, they wouldn't spit. Akira Suemori, AP Vivienne Bartels, 7, learns how to curtsy in front of a cardboard cutout of Britain's Prince ...
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 ...
King of Bahrain's Invite to Prince William's Wedding Causes Outrage
By Theunis Bates - AOL NewsLONDON -- Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding next month has been billed as the media event of the decade. But the young couple's big day could now be overshadowed by a row over one of the royal family's guests of honor: King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa of Bahrain. The Sunni monarch is conducting a bloody crackdown on his majority Shiite population, crushing their calls for democracy with bullets, tanks and tear gas. Amnesty International reports that shotgun-wielding security forces have killed at least eight Bahraini protesters in recent days, and many more people -- including medical ...

Queen Elizabeth to Visit Ireland, and the Irish Are (Mostly) Thrilled
By Torie Bosch - AOL NewsWill Ireland put out the welcome mat for Queen Elizabeth II? Today the queen announced that she will be accepting an invitation from Ireland to visit this year. The last time a British monarch visited Ireland was in 1911, when Elizabeth's grandfather, King George V, went to the Emerald Isle. After Ireland became independent in 1922, the relationship between the two countries deteriorated. The conflict over independence for Northern Ireland, particularly "The Troubles," strained the United Kingdom's relationship with the Irish. But have the bad feelings passed? Surge Desk took a look at ...
