Her Royal Highness Princess Kate – Latest Photos & News

The royal bride has sparked a trend among women throughout the world who are asking their hairstylists to give them the “Kate haircut”. The new Princess’ regal chestnut tresses have been the subject of conversation for years, yet now the fascination with her locks has reached a fever pitch!

People Magazine’s site has a feature where anyone can try on ‘Princess Perfect hair‘! Users simply upload their photograph and the site’s software merges their face with Kate’s lovely locks!

(If only becoming a princess were as easy as getting a specific type of blowout. Sigh.)

Beauty shops around the globe are sharing professional tips about how to give their customers the royal Kate ‘do’. Jenine, a stylist in New York City, has reported, “at least thirty women request Princess Kate’s hair style every day, ever since William and Kate got engaged.” Another trend that beauticians are noticing is longer hair. Many of their patrons are skipping their regular haircuts and growing their hair longer, to be the same length as Kate’s lovely tresses. This would be one of those royal wedding souvenirs that need not be displayed on your mantel!

Glamour magazine’s site has posted instructions for achieving that regal Kate look, which I’ll summarize below:

• Blow-dry your hair using a large boar-bristle round brush, until it is about three-quarters dry.
• Divide your hair into segments using soft clips.
• Take one segment of hair at a time, and roll it around the brush, and hold the brush vertically.
• Then, aim the hair dryer at that section of hair at the highest setting for a minute or two, until it is completely dry.
• Gently remove the brush, without using the brush to comb through the lock of hair.
• When you are done, gently brush your hair only about half-way down. Leave the ends un-brushed, so that you don’t separate the hairs and loosen the curls.

You’ll have gently waves at the bottom of your hair, and be completely ready to meet your Prince Charming!  Now it’s time to practice that royal flick of your hand to move your hair out of your eyes that we see Kate doing in video clips all the time!

One last tip — although it may set you back aver $100: Head to celebrity hairstylist Richard Ward’s salon, that’s where Princess Kate has been going for years.

P.S. Supposedly, the Queen told William to inform Kate that she ought to wear her hair up to the wedding. Kate responded, “Your grandmother is telling me how to wear my hair to my wedding?! Now I know what your Mom went through with this family.” Well, the royal wedding video will be here soon enough, and we will get a close look at how Kate chooses to wear her hair for the wedding day.

Royal Wedding souvenirs are flying off the shelves of retailers in the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia, and many other countries! Manufacturers are struggling to meet the demand for Royal Wedding memorabilia, as these items are being purchased just as fast as they can be shipped to the retailers.

What are the most popular wedding souvenirs on the market?

China dinnerware takes top place, with plates, cups, and teapots decorated with the likeness of Prince William and Princess Kate are being sold so quickly that gift stores have long waiting lists for the items that are frequently out of stock.

Tea towels bearing the image of Princess Kate along with Prince William are another item which are particularly hot in the UK. These easy to care for Royal Wedding souvenirs do not demand the same level of care as the delicate china settings require, so they are popular with travelers who worry about fracturing dishes in their luggage. A towel is simple to pack and unlikely to chip when falling to the floor!

T-shirts of all sizes, colors, and messages are being snatched up at upscale boutiques and street vendors in cities from California to London and beyond! Some T-shirts are decorated with photos of William and Kate, while others offer congratulatory and patriotic messages to the royal couple.

Humorous T-shirts run the gamut from the ones containing unprintable words to messages such as, “Don’t do it, Kate!” or “Stay out of French tunnels, Kate!”.

For those who are tired of all the media coverage and hoopla surrounding the Royal Wedding, there are a variety of T-shirts that express your sentiments exactly: “Taxpayer funded royal wedding”, “The Royal Wedding: Who Cares?” and “William and Kate are getting married and all I got was this lousy T-shirt.”

A vast array of merchandise imprinted with William and Kate’s photos can be found at a variety of outlets. Key chains, tote bags, baseball caps, and even underwear can be purchased as Royal Wedding souvenirs!

What kind of Royal Wedding souvenirs would you like to see? Which ones will you be purchasing? Are they for yourself or a gift?

What am I going to get? Without a doubt, I must have a Princess Kate Wedding doll — absolutely breathtaking! And, I will definitely buy a DVD of the Royal Wedding video; a real-life fairy tale will add magic and celebration to my rather ordinary life!

As the world awaits the Royal Wedding Videos of William and Kate tying the knot, here are a few Royal Weddings from the past for your viewing pleasure. Three generations ago, Queen Elizabeth II’s mother got married in 1923. Prince Phillip and Queen Elizabeth married in 1947; scroll down to watch their royal wedding. And nobody can forget the wedding of the century of Charles and Diana in 1981; view all of these royal celebrations below:

Bonus: Scroll all the way down the page to see a preview of the 2011 wedding – surprise!

The Royal Wedding Video of 1923 — betcha didn’t know that they had videos back then!

As the year suggests, this is the wedding of King George VI and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, Queen Elizabeth II’s future parents, as incarnated by Colin Firth and Helena Bonham Carter in ‘The King’s Speech’. But this is all with the benefit of hindsight: as far as the Topical Film Company was concerned, they were filming the wedding of the Duke of York, second son of King George V – though they still treated it as a major media event, with nineteen cameramen filming the proceedings from numerous angles.

Moving along in the 20th century, here you can watch the wedding of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip in 1947:

The wedding of the century, Charles and Diana’s marriage, was viewed live by three-quarters of a billion people in 1981.

What part of the Royal Wedding of 2011 are you most looking forward to seeing? Will it be the bride’s much anticipated wedding gown? Are you anxious to see William and Kate walk down the aisle? Does the wardrobe of Her Majesty the Queen interest you? What about the dancing at the party of the century — that should be fun to watch! Personally, I can’t wait to see the bride and groom’s expressions at the ceremony — will they keep a straight, solemn expression on their faces, or will they sneak a smile and a wink at one another? There’s not that much more time to wait — the 21st century’s Royal Wedding will be here before you know it!

The Royal Wedding – In Wool! This video is just too cute for words; someone actually went ahead and knitted the entire bridal party — and now you can watch them all walk down the aisle and dance!

For years, each piece of clothing worn by Kate Middleton sparked commentary in fashion magazines and blogs. Now that Kate is engaged to Prince William, her wardrobe has gone from casual-stylish to high-end designers.

Every item worn by Kate flies off the shelves of stores and serves as an inspiration for imitations by copycat designers. If you are in the fashion design business, having Princess Kate wear a piece in your line will boost your revenues to the sky!

Here are some questions for all of you who’ve purchased the famous Issa blue engagement dress:

Does wearing the same clothing as a princess make you feel like a princess?

When you wear the same clothing as Kate, does that mean that you are just as gorgeous as she is?

Do you feel a twinge of preschool kids shouting “COPYCAT, COPYCAT” into your mind when you blatantly emulate Kate’s style?

And finally, do you really appreciate Kate’s sense of style — or (horrors!) do you have a different opinion about your preference for your apparel?

Kate is certainly the Queen of Style, oops, make that Princess of Style for the coming decade. The question remains: Do you want to be an innovator or an emulator?

Lifetime has created a movie about the relationship between William and Kate.

Many Americans will set their alarms to awaken at 5:00am to view the royal wedding live.

Love Princess Kate or hate her, you’ve got to admit that this T-shirt is a bit creepy.

A black vector image outlines the entrance of a tunnel, and the text inside boldly reads: STAY OUT OF FRENCH TUNNELS.

I must admit that I burst out laughing when I first came across this somber message to Princess Kate. Yet, on further thought, I realized that this T-shirt is seriously disturbing.

Princess Diana’s death was the most famous motor vehicle accident in all of history. We still join Prince William, Prince Harry, and all the souls whom Diana touched in mourning for the People’s Princess.

On the other hand, this T-shirt expresses our care and concern for the new Princess Kate — albeit in an awkward manner.
