Princess Diana received this tiara as a wedding gift from the Queen

Nothing marks royal status better than a tiara!

The whole world will be looking on when Kate Middleton weds Prince William on April 29, 2011. But aside from the obvious matter of her dress, royal watchers are also wondering what she will wear on her head. It’s more than likely she will top her veil off with one of the glittering tiaras from the royal collection.  The question is: which one will it be?  Or will it be a new one?

Hello! has a collection of pictures showcasing royal tiaras… having glorious names like the Duchess of Teck Diamon Tiara, the Strathmore Rose, Cambridge Lover’s Knot, the Delhi Durbar and more.

Royalty With Ella Kay also wrote a fabulous piece about this last week.

‘Mini-wedding’ sets royal cat among pigeons

Looks like someone’s trying to stir a rivalry…

Sources close to the Queen revealed that Her Majesty was “not best pleased” by news of a second royal wedding. The fear is that the infamous sibling jealousy between Prince Charles and Princess Anne will infect the next generation.

“Anne’s reputation as a tough-talking horsewoman has always annoyed her,” according to a Phillips family friend. “She hates the way Charles pretends to be intellectual when the cameras are running.”

News of her cousin Wills’ wedding brought out Zara’s competitive spirit, and the news that Kate attended Marlborough, the alma mater of her father, Mark “Foggy” Phillips, emerging with better qualifications, hardly helped the situation. Also, the Phillips family was infuriated by a full-page tabloid feature comparing Kate’s well-manicured nails to those of Zara, which were “ragged and rimmed with black”. How many stables, Princess Anne was heard to ask, has Kate Middleton mucked out?

Oprah Winfrey tells Fergie to Stop Spending

The U.S. chat show icon has spoken of how she has struggled to make the Duchess of York see sense about money.

Miss Winfrey – who has signed up the Duchess to star in a new reality series in which she will undergo therapy on camera – told Parade magazine: ‘She sent me an email about how it’s so difficult to give up going to Spain this year. And I said, “You have no money. People who don’t have money don’t go to Spain on holiday. Hello!”‘

Miss Winfrey also told how she warned Sarah off from signing up for a celebrity chef show and Dancing With the Stars – the U.S. version of Strictly Come Dancing.

‘I said, “That’s not going to help you. How are you going to rehabilitate yourself on a celebrity chef show? You should be working on yourself,’” said the talk show host.

Fergie’s reality show with Oprah, Finding Sarah, is set to be aired sometime in 2011.
