[United Kingdom] Prince Harry, the royal presence at the Formula One Grand Prix

Spanish driver Fernando Alonso was the final champion of the Grand Prix of Great Britain in Silverstone. It was his first race win this year and also a new victory to his team, Ferrari,  now totaling 27 wins as a Formula 1 driver. The Spanish national anthem rang again at the top of the podium of a Grand Prix Formula 1 and the Spaniard had an exceptional attendee, Prince Harry, who had the honor of delivering the trophy. Before the competition started, Prince Charles's youngest son wanted to encourage British race drivers Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton. Eventually the prize did not stay home and went to Alonso.

One of the most awaited pictures of the day was the picture taken of Harry and Jenson Button. It's been a few weeks that it's been rumored that the prince could be dating Button's ex-girlfriend, the model Florence Brudenell Bruce. The pilot and the prince held a friendly and relaxed meeting, in which they discussed the race strategy before the Grand Prix.

[United Kingdom] Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge at the Investec Derby at Epsom yesterday

The Duchess of Cambridge inspired memories of her elegant appearance at her wedding as she wore a cream-coloured jacket, short skirt, high-heeled shoes and a brown hat. Her wedding ring was proudly on display as she clutched a handbag to her waist, says The Telegraph.

I love the DoE on this one.

The Duchess, 29, was seen cheering on Sohraab, a horse in which her parents, Michael and Carole Middleton, have a share, that was competing in an earlier race.

Didn't we miss Harry?

Biting his nails. He seems to be really passionate.

Love his bracelet. Saw some of the same type being sold in a market in Cape Town a few years ago.

[The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's Wedding] Prince William and Prince Harry leave Clarence House

The preparations had all been made, every last detail was place. Now there was nothing left for Prince William to do except wait for the woman who won his heart when they were fresh-faced students some eight years ago.

Leaving Clarence House for Westminster Abbey, the Prince looked excited, if a little nervous, as he departed with chants from the crowd of "We want William" ringing in his ears. With him was Prince Harry, his best man and the brother with whom he has shared highs and also the most painful of lows.

Both siblings were dashing in military dress: William chose the famous red tunic of the Irish Guards, reflecting his honorary role as the regiment's colonel.

Harry, who has served in a war zone, was in Blues and Royals uniform, with his Afghan campaign service medal pinned to his chest.

William spent his last night as a bachelor with his brother and father Prince Charles and stepmother the Duchess of Cornwall at Clarence House.

The family had enjoyed one last quiet dinner together as a quartet.

Now the eyes of the world were upon him as he arrived at the historic church.

On arrival, the brothers greeted the clergymen who will conduct the service, before mingling with the congregation, including Earl Spencer and his daughters.

[Pre-wedding] What did Prince William do in his last hours as a single Prince?

Superfans of the royal wedding have been camping for days on the Mall to secure their spot for the nuptials. But they weren't expecting that their dedication would give them a chance to meet Prince William. The future King stunned thousands of well-wishers when he turned up for an impromptu walkabout on the Mall. Seeing the crowds swelling, he decided to personally go and chat to them.

There were huge cheers – and quite a few tears of happiness – when the Prince arrived with his brother Prince Harry from Clarence House at about 8.30pm.

A sea of hands reached out and camera phones were raised in their hundreds as William moved along the crowds to thank people personally for their support.

He joked with the crowd "don't worry, I'll be OK," though he did confess that his biggest concern was that "I won't get my lines right."

Dressed casually in a pale shirt, black jumper and chinos, the Prince paid special attention to the children in the crowds.

[United-Kingdom] Prince William will spend night before wedding with his father and brother

Although being quite a modern couple, in line with tradition, Prince William and Kate Middleton will spend the night before their wedding apart.

And new reports have revealed that the Prince, 28, will be spending his with his father and brother Harry at St James' Palace.

"Prince Charles is a loving father who's a lot closer to his sons than people often realise," said a royal source.

"He's made it clear his priority in the hours before the wedding is his son."

Charles, 62, will return from his Easter break in Birkhall, Scotland, to be with William ahead of the biggest day of his life. St James' Palace is across the way from the Goring Hotel, where bride Kate, 29, will spend her last night before embarking upon life as a Princess.

Prince William and Kate Middleton will begin married life lodging with Prince Harry.

For their London base, the newlyweds will share a suite at Clarence House with William's younger brother as they apparently haven't decided where they want to live.

They are looking at Buckingham Palace, St James’s Palace and Kensington Palace as their London home, but are yet to make a decision.

Names of maid of honor, bridesmaids, best man and page boys confirmed for William and Kate's wedding

The lucky friends and relatives who will play their part in the royal wedding have been confirmed. Prince Harry has been asked to serve as best man during the wedding of his brother Prince William to Kate Middleton.

Meanwhile, Kate has asked her sister, Pippa Middleton, to be her maid of honour, leading the four bridesmaids.

A number of close friends and family are also serving as bridesmaids and page boys.

Seven-year-old Lady Louise Windsor is one of the lucky four, and it will be a rare public appearance for the Queen's youngest granddaughter and daughter of Prince Edward and Sophie.

Since birth Lady Louise has suffered from exotropia – a condition causing a severe squint – and her parents have reportedly wanted to protect her from media attention.

Joining Lady Louise will be Grace Van Custems, the daughter of the Van Custems who are close family friends from Norfolk and have known the Prince since childhood.

Third bridesmaid is the Duchess of Cornwall 's granddaughter Eliza Lopes, the daughter of Harry and Laura Lopes.

Viscount Linley's eight-year-old daughter Margarita, the second cousin of the Prince, will also feature as a bridesmaid. There will be two page boys, Billy Lowther-Pinkerton and Tom Pettifer.

Ten-year-old Billy is the son of Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, who has been secretary to Prince William since 2005 and a very close friend.

Eight-year-old Tom is the Prince's godson and son of Tiggy Pettifer, née Legge-Bourke who was personal assistant to the Prince of Wales during the Nineties and also nanny to William.

Details about the bridesmaids' dresses and the page boys' uniforms will be made available on the day of the wedding.

Prince Harry in Berlin during first Germany trip

With his brother Prince William off the market, Prince Harry is one of Europe's most desirable young bachelors.

Little wonder then, that he found himself with a female admirer as he was honoured for his charity work in Germany at the weekend.

The third-in-line appeared to have hit it off with 21-year-old German actress Sophia Thomalla at Saturday night's gala Ein Herz Fuer Kinder (A Heart For Children) in Berlin

He also seemed to have made an impression on 14-year-old Aset Makhamaenva, and the feeling was mutual. The flame-haired royal was impressed at the youngster's spirit after she had tragically lost one of her parents

But the Prince had to use all his charms to get a smile out of little three-year-old Ziosia Novak, who was brought to the special reception before the gala by her mother Justyna Gorzna

The 26-year-old was presented with a golden heart award by Bettina Wulff, the wife of German president Christian Wulff. It honoured the charity work he does for youngsters, particularly his orphan charity Sentebale

In his acceptance speech he told the crowd: "from the bottom of my heart, vielen dank [thank you very much]'.

"But compared to so many people who devote their whole lives to restoring hope to children around the world, I have done very little.

"So, as far as I'm concerned, I am receiving your award on their behalf, not mine"

Harry also visited the Brandenburg Gate during his first official visit to Germany

And he stopped off at a remaining part of the Berlin Wall to pay tribute to those killed trying to flee communist East Germany

Harry laid a wreath at a memorial in the Bernauer Strasse district

It was accompanied by a hand-written message that read: "For all those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in pursuit of freedom. Harry"

[United-Kingdom] Prince Harry honours fallen comrades

Opening the first ever remembrance field dedicated to the men and women killed in the Afghan war, Prince Harry, was joined by a four-year-old called Melanie. The little girl was there with her father Lance Corporal Ram Patten, 31, who devised the March for Honour, which Harry launched following the Wiltshire ceremony. This involves servicemen walking a mile for every life lost in Afghanistan, eventually converging on London's Royal Albert Hall on Remembrance Day.

The march began on November 4, and included a stop at the Field of Remembrance in Lydiard Park, Wootton Bassett so that the Prince could launch it officially. Melanie hadn't seen her father since he set out on last week and jumped into his arms, refusing to leave his side all day. To her excitement, this meant she got to spend lots of time with the dashing royal who told her: "You look pretty" and complimented her on her coat.

Among those that Harry was there to remember was L/Cpl Jonathan Woodgate, 26, of the Household Cavalry, the Prince's own regiment, who was killed in Helmand province in March this year.

His father Tony said the Queen's grandson told him his son would be remembered as a "special chap". "I shall remember this moment forever," said Mr Woodgate. "It was very emotional."
