Postage stamps on Kate-William

Prince William - Kate MiddletonBritain’s Royal Mail has brought out a new set of postage stamps featuring Prince William and his bride, Kate Middleton, ahead of their April 29 wedding. The stamps show William and Kate sharing a hug. The official engagement portraits that feature on the stamps were taken by photographer Mario Testino. One stamp having a ‘casual image’ costs 46 pence, while the more formal image stamp costs 1.10 pounds and is for overseas use. William has featured on stamps twice before, one marked the Queen Mother’s 100th birthday and the other marked his own 21st birthday. Post offices will sell these stamps from April 21 - the queen’s birthday - but they can also be ordered via the Royal Mail’s website from April 7.

Kate Middleton to wear Victoria's dresses for honeymoon

Kate MiddletonBritish royal bride Kate Middleton has expressed a desire to wear former Spice Girl-turned-fashion designer Victoria Beckham’s evening dresses during her honeymoon with Prince William.

The 29 year old, Middleton, called up Victoria to say she loved her outfits after Victoria sent her a selection of her spring-summer collection. The bride-to-be also asked Victoria for general advice on evening wear during the romantic break after her April 29 wedding.


"Victoria is thrilled Kate loved her dresses and was only too happy to give her fashion tips. The ladies get on very well and Victoria can’t believe she is helping to dress the future Queen," said a source.

Victoria, who is expecting her fourth child with ace footballer David Beckham, had earlier spoken about how she admires Middleton’s dressing sense.

"She is a beautiful young girl, she has a wonderful figure and I think she wears clothes beautifully. I would be honoured if she were to wear my designs," she had said.

Kate Middleton gets Jaguar fleet for wedding ceremony

Kate MiddletonKate Middleton has been given a 500,000-pound fleet of luxury cars so that she gets to the church on time for her wedding, after the British royal bride said she does not want to arrive in a horse-drawn carriage.

Palace officials have taken delivery of seven new Jaguar XJ limos for the wedding scheduled for April 29.

The British-made cars were dispatched from the company earlier this month.

Kate had said she does not want to arrive at the Westminster Abbey in a traditional horse-drawn carriage.

Palace officials said the royal Rolls-Royces and Bentleys would be "too stuffy" for her and her groom, Prince William.

"When the Prince of Wales was attacked by students in his Rolls-Royce, it sent a message out about what people think is acceptable," an aide said.
