Pippa Middleton Scandal

Pippa Middleton Scandal

Philippa Charlotte “Pippa” Middleton (born 6 September 1983) is the only sister of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. A party organiser, she is well known because of her sister and through the reporting of society news. On 29 April 2011, she was the maid of honour at her sister’s Royal wedding, which she helped to organise. Her role in the televised wedding resulted in widespread media coverage and public admiration for her dress and appearance

Now the world has some idea what Pippa Middleton’s form-fitting royal wedding gown was hiding.
A photo has emerged of Middleton wearing a bra and a skirt while dancing with a man wearing only boxers.
It’s unclear when the photo was taken.


Middleton isn’t the only one in her family who has had a photo scandal. Semi-nude photos of her brother James also have appeared.
After Pippa Middleton appeared last week at her sister Kate’s wedding to Prince William in the white gown, mesmerizing the male half of the 2 billion people watching around the world, social networking sites immediately went wild for her.

Evolution of the Royal Wedding Dress

Evolution of the Royal Wedding Dress
These Historic Gowns Weren't Just Fashion Statements
Royal Wedding Dress as Symbol
Until Friday morning, probably the biggest mystery surrounding the latest British royal wedding was who designed Kate Middleton's wedding dress.

But when the future Queen Elizabeth II (pictured) walked down the aisle in London's Westminster Abbey in 1947, her wedding dress was more than a fashion statement: It represented the hopes of a nation, according to royal wedding gown curator Joanna Marschner.

With food and clothing still being rationed in postwar Britain, royal dressmaker Norman Hartnell sought to convey a message of national renewal, instead of focusing on opulent materials. He did this in part by embroidering the gown with garlands of spring flowers.

"It is a dress with a message for that particular moment in time," said Marschner, of Historic Royal Palaces, an independent charity that acts as caretaker for five British royal buildings.

"I think you can say that about all the royal wedding dresses—they have become amazing documents that can say a lot about the year when they were worn."

Royal Wedding highlights best 20 moments

Royal Wedding highlights best 20 moments

Prince William and Kate Middleton have been named husband and wife by the Archbishop of Canterbury at Westminster Abbey.

Here are the top 20 moments from the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton on Friday. See our live blog for continued coverage.

• Clarence House announced Prince William and his bride would leave Westminster Abbey in the same open topped horse-drawn carriage used by the Prince and Princess of Wales on their wedding day in 1981 – meaning that come rain or shine, crowds would be able to clearly see the married couple.

• The Queen gave the Royal couple the titles of Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, also naming her grandson Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus, titles his bride would also inherit after the ceremony.

• As crowds gathered in Westminster, the crew of the International Space Station broadcast pre-recorded greetings to the Royal couple, from hundreds of miles above the surface of the Earth

* William tells Kate 'You look beautiful' as she arrives at the altar
* He jokes with Kate's father 'we're supposed to have just a small family affair'
* Two BILLION people watch couple tie the knot
* 5,000 royals enthusiasts camped out overnight at The Mall
* Prince struggles to get ring on Kate's finger
* One million well-wishers line the streets to catch a glimpse of the couple
* Prince William takes the title Duke of Cambridge and Kate becomes Duchess

After a kiss that thrilled the nation, Prince William drove full throttle into the nation's affections as he took his new wife on an unexpected drive to Clarence House.
They left their Buckingham Palace reception in Prince Charles's open-top Aston Martin with 'Just wed' on the number plate.
It was the fitting climax to what had already been a remarkable day - and it was the common touch his mother Diana would have been proud of.
As the crowds roared, the couple emerged in the 38-year-old classic car with a yellow RAF rescue helicopter flying overhead.
The vehicle had been given to Charles as a gift when he turned 21. The couple drove round the front of the Palace before returning to the private reception.
They emerged from the Palace two hours after stepping out on the balcony and marked their marriage with their first public kiss.
But the first public embrace of William and his bride Catherine was so fleeting that you would have missed it if you had blinked.

Princess Diana's Most Iconic Style Moments

Princess Diana's Most Iconic Style Moments
Princess Diana's Most Iconic Style Moments
It was the LBD worth a thousand words—in 1994, just as a documentary regarding her husband's infidelities was airing, a lithe and leggy Princess Diana strolled into a Serpentine Gallery benefit wearing a figure-hugging ruched minidress from Greek designer Christina Stambolian. The next day, every front page was devoted not to the Prince of Wales's televised confession, but to images of the glowing, confident 32-year-old Diana. Ever mindful of the power of fashion, three years later she auctioned off 79 of her favorite gowns at a Christie's auction that raised $6 million for AIDS and breast cancer charities.

Scots Guardsman Cameron Reilly, 18, also said he had 'attacked a black man' while on leave in his home town of East Kilbride near Glasgow and fantasised about shooting Jews while on duty.
He called Miss Middleton, who is due to marry Prince William at Westminster Abbey on Friday, a 'stuck-up cow', adding: 'Who really gives a f*** about her?'
On his Facebook page, Reilly wrote how he felt insulted by Kate when she and Prince William drove past him last month.

With an estimated 1.5 million Royal Wedding watchers expected to converge on London on Friday, not everyone will be able to find a space along the route.
The best spots will fill by dawn, or even the night before – thousands of people are due to camp out. Good vantage points include the steps under the Duke of York Column in Carlton House Terrace and the pavements by Admiralty Arch.
Much of the crowd is expected to head instead for Hyde Park and Trafalgar Square, where giant screens will show live coverage of the ceremony. A 196ft-high ‘London Eye-style’ observation wheel has been erected in the park, which can be ridden from 7am on the day.
Both venues promise a carnival atmosphere, with food and drinks stalls, including licensed bars, to keep the ‘extended wedding guests’ refreshed.
Other places where big screens will be erected include Clapham Common, which is turning into a campsite the night before, Southbank Centre Square and Battersea High Street, where there will be a huge street party with food stalls.

CAMILLA Parker Bowles, the Duchess of Cornwall, has spoken publicly for the first time bout her relationship with Kate Middleton and revealed the family’s excitement as the royal wedding approaches.
Camilla — who has taken the 29-year-old to lunch and attended the ballet with her — has given Middleton the big thumbs up.
“Kate’s a lovely girl. We’re very lucky. I’m very much looking forward to it,” she said.
Camilla also spoke about the role her granddaughter, Eliza Lopes, 3, will play on the April 29 wedding day — as a bridesmaid.
“She’s only three, and it will be quite nerve-wracking for a little one. But she will enjoy it,” she said.

The Cockerels Who Crow Ten Times A Minute




The Cockerels Who Crow Ten Times A Minute
For the particularly proud country dweller perhaps, having a cockerel quintet who make their raucous dawn squawks 74 times in seven minutes might be something to crow about.

But not for the neighbours of Roy and Valerie Rylands.

Their complaints that the noise wakes them as early as 2.30am were placed before magistrates yesterday.

Neighbour Roger Morgan called in council noise abatement officials, who logged the farmyard five-piece crowing 112 times in 20 minutes and 74 times in a seven-minute period.

The council officer ordered the Rylands to keep their birds quiet after agreeing that the crowing was intrusive, incessant and would disturb sleep.

But the Rylands, of Bwlch-y-ffridd, near Newtown, mid Wales, went to court to appeal against the ruling.

Jonathan Salmon, for Powys county council, told magistrates in Welshpool yesterday: ‘Its very easy to be flippant about it but that doesn’t do justice to any party in these proceedings.

Dress Code for the Royal Wedding

Dress Code for the Royal Wedding

 A morning ceremony

Invitations for the royal wedding were mailed out last week, and loads more details about the impending nuptials are coming in, such as who will be attending the big event and what guests will be wearing! While rumors are swirling that wedding outfitter Bruce Oldfield will be designing Kate Middleton's gown, we now know for sure what attendees must wear to the Westminster Abbey wedding, as the dress code was printed on the invitations: "uniform, morning coat or lounge suit." Sounds stuffy and conventional, but this formal attire can actually be quite fun and even colorful. Check out some examples of each, plus info on the spectacular hats Middleton has requested!
