William & Harry As Children: Watch Now!


Offering up a first-hand view of the royal tikes, newly-released footage of brother's Prince William and Prince Harry as young boys shows a much less scripted look at their lives growing up.

The videos, obtained by NBC, delivers a relatively candid view of 3-year-old William and 1-year-old Harry as they played hide-and-seek with their father, Prince Charles, as well as practicing their makeup skills on their late mother, Princess Diana.

"He's very enthusiastic about things, pushes himself right into it. [He's] very polite," a then 24-year-old and radiant Diana told of her son William at the time.

Additionally, the clip shows Charles and Diana as the fielded questions surrounding their unprecedented nuptials, of which the Princess expressed the pressure and nerves she experienced, telling,"Enjoy something like that? It's terrifying. Such a long walk up that aisle, for start."

Prince William & Kate Middleton's Wedding Day Dolls


It was a wedding for the record books, and now Prince William and Kate Middleton have gotten all dolled up for their lavish affair once more - as mini replicas of the couple have hit store shelves in London, England today (August 18).

Wearing what has become one of the most famous bridal gowns of all time, the Duchess of Cambridge's doll can be purchased alongside William's - who comes dressed in a scarlet Irish Guards colonel uniform.

According to Arklu, the British firm that makes the collectible offerings, the tiny figurines are "instantly recognizable and, some might say, delightfully kitsch."

The latest toys are in addition to the company's already-produced Catherine Engagement Doll, in which the 28-year-old's plastic counterpart wears a red Fascinator, blue dress and gold heels.

Prince William & Kate's Night at the BAFTA Brits To Watch


Stepping out for the lone black tie affair of their Stateside visit, Prince William and Kate Middleton were the main attraction at the BAFTA Brits To Watch event in Los Angeles, California on Saturday night (July 9).

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge received a warm welcome at the Belasco Theatre as they joined a star-studded guest list including Hollywood mainstays such as Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Lopez, Blake Lively, Jennifer Garner, Ed Westwick, Elizabeth Banks, Jack Black, Zooey Deschanel and Tom Hanks, among many others.

During the swanky affair, William opened the gala with an instructional speech about "what he hopes to achieve for the evening" before he and the duchess briefly met the 42 honorees in a private reception area.

Of Will partaking in the event, the organization's chief executive, Amanda Berry, said, "What he does for us is when he can attend an event he absolutely does, and he couldn't be doing more for us this weekend being part of this event. He's very philanthropic, so we meet regularly to try to support each other. He's lovely and a very down-to-earth, easy individual to get on with."

Continuing to detail the purpose of the BAFTA Brits To Watch event, Miss Berry added, "Some of the people we're honoring have more credits who are just starting to have an international career, but many are students we've identified with a real spark. Directors will sit next to directors, actors will sit with actors, and hopefully they'll make introductions. We've given them all briefing packets and they're very excited. We've got the most fantastic industry audience in the room that it's a real opportunity for them to meet inspirational people who can impact their careers."
