Prince William Is Officially Going to Be Prince Harry's Best Man in the Royal Wedding


In news that isn’t surprising but still exciting, Kensington Palace announced Thursday (April 26) that Prince Harry has asked Prince William to be the Best Man in his wedding to Meghan Markle next month.

To celebrate the news, the Palace shared some tender photos of the brothers bonding. The latest is from when they attended the Stars Wars premiere a few months back, and the earliest is of the two of them as boys wearing police hats and ties. Child Prince Harry is standing cutely with his hands on his hips, as if he’s thinking, “Yup, in 30 years, I’m going to marry an actress from a USA network TV show, and the world’s ‘gonna be shook.” Check out Kensington Palace’s Instagram announcement for yourself, below:

And the same message was posted on Twitter, too, so their brotherly love could exist on as many platforms as possible.

Like we said, this news isn’t exactly shocking. Prince William and Prince Harry are similar in age, and they’re very close with each other. Prince Harry was also Best Man in Prince William’s wedding to Kate Middleton in 2011, so it’s only fitting he return the favor.

The question that remains now, though, is who will be Meghan Markle’s Maid of Honor. Will it be her mother? Priyanka Chopra? One of the Spice Girls? Please let it be one of the Spice Girls.

While we wait on that information, here’s a quick stream of cute Will-and-Harry moments that make this Best Man news even sweeter.

A photo from earlier this week where Prince Harry’s clearly asking, “For my bachelor party, can we have a Suits marathon?” And Prince William’s like, “IDK, maybe.”

When Prince William said he hopes Prince Harry’s engagement to Markle means he’ll stay out of his fridge. Um, getting married doesn’t stop you from snacking, my friend.

The time Prince Harry said he’s better at math than Prince William. Spoken like true royal nerds.

And last but not least, a photo of them as teenagers to prove everyone—even the royals—had an awkward phase.

Even Kate Middleton and Prince William Have Ikea Furniture


As any viewer of The Crown will tell you, the many homes and palaces belonging to the Windsors are already full of furniture, but understandably, not much of it is kid-friendly. That’s why Prince William and Kate Middleton got Prince George and Princess Charlotte furnishings in Kensington Palace from a much more inexpensive source: IKEA. Yes, royals and recent grads have at least one store in common.

On the Swedish leg of their current royal tour, the couple, currently expecting their third child, stopped by ArkDes, the national museum of architecture and design in Stockholm. There, they toured “an exhibition of a competition for young Swedish designers which IKEA has been involved with since it began 20 years ago,” per U.K. outlet the Mirror. Before the royal visit, Marcus Engman, IKEA’s head of design, mused, “It would be nice to know if they have any IKEA furniture. I know that the royals in Sweden have. Why would it not be possible for them? There is a great variety. Our beds are really good, and affordable. You get a lot for your money there.”

Affordability probably isn’t a huge factor for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, but after the tour, Engman revealed that they told him they “have IKEA pieces for the children’s rooms” and expressed interest in the IKEA design process. “I’m proud that we can suit everybody,” said Engman. “That’s what we want IKEA to be—for the many people of the world, both royalty and ordinary people.” The royal couple also offered their condolences on the recent passing of Ingvar Kamprad, who founded furniture giant IKEA when he was just 17 years old.

The Mirror’s “royal source” said that Engman’s recollection was “very plausible” (whatever that means) but couldn’t confirm which, if any, IKEA pieces Charlotte and George have. Maybe they just didn’t want to start a run on Mammuts or Stuvas or whatever; items Kate picks tend to sell out, after all.

Now, what we’d really like to know is, did Will and Kate assemble this IKEA furniture themselves?

Proof That Prince William Can Still Make Kate Middleton Laugh Out Loud


After six and a half years of marriage, Prince William still makes Kate Middleton laugh—like, really really hard. The couple recently attended the Royal Variety Show, hosted by English actress and comedian Miranda Hart, where the prince was the source of several moments of comedic gold.

According to Harper’s Bazaar, the first came out when Hart cajoled the prince during the show. The royal responded by shouting out some of her own catchphrases, including “such fun!” The whole display reportedly made the audience—including Kate—seriously LOL.

Then, after a performance from the musical Annie by a group of child actors, Hart encouraged one of the adorable young performers to ask the duke to imitate the trademark “galloping” move from her BBC1 show. After a brief moment of shyness, the prince obliged. Naturally, the sight of a grown man (who is also straight-up royalty) galloping about in a full tuxedo is objectively hilarious. And based on Middleton’s giggling, it’s clear she thought so, too.

The couple, who is expecting their third child in the new year, are constantly cracking each other up, proving that just because they’re royals doesn’t mean they take things too seriously. Kate joked about her pregnancy months before it was a reality (or at least, months before the world knew it was a reality), and William has had his fair share of hilarious digs at his younger brother, Prince Harry, after the announcement of his engagement to Meghan Markle. “Personally, I hope it means [Harry] stays out of my fridge and will stop him scrounging my food,” he joked to the press.

As they say: A royal couple that laughs together, stays together. Especially when they can make the entire world smile along with them.

Prince William and Kate Middleton Just Shared Their Christmas Card Photo


Even the most cynical people can’t help but melt over the Royal Family’s Christmas card photo. Every year, Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their children—Prince George and Princess Charlotte—release a holiday portrait, and it seems like each one is cuter than the last. Remember the one from 2015, where the family posed in a field and Prince George had the most adorable, goofy grin? Prince William didn’t even look at the camera—he was too distracted by his son’s cuteness. Or how about this Cambridge Christmas/thank-you card, which wasn’t anything official but nonetheless utterly charming? This family certainly knows how to take a festive photo, that’s for sure.

And this year’s is no exception. The Kensington Palace Twitter account released the photo that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will be using for their cards this year, and it’s literally too adorable and perfect for words. But don’t take our word for it: Check it out for yourself, below:

There are a lot of wonderful things happening in this pic. For one, Prince William’s delightfully cheesy smile. Also, look how precious Prince George looks holding his father’s hand! And Princess Charlotte’s silly grin? I’m done. This photo has the power to part clouds, TBH.

This photo isn’t the only news Kensington Palace announced this morning, though. We received an update about Princess Charlotte’s pre-school plans, too. “Their Royal Highnesses have also announced this morning that Princess Charlotte will attend the Willcocks Nursery School in London from January 2018,” the Palace tweeted.

“We are delighted that The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have chosen the Willcocks Nursery School for Princess Charlotte. We look forward to welcoming Charlotte to our nursery in January,” Willcocks Nursery School said in a statement via Kensington Palace.

Before school’s in session, though, Prince Charlotte and Prince George have a season of holiday fun ahead. And if this photo’s any indication, the Royal Family is about to achieve maximum levels of, “Awww!” next week. We can’t wait.

Prince William Hopes Prince Harry Will Stay Out of His Fridge Now That He's Engaged to Meghan Markle


If you have a pulse, then you probably know Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are engaged. Their nuptials are all anyone can talk about lately—and they’re not even tying the knot until May 2018.

Loved ones from both Markle and Prince Harry’s family have come out in support of the couple. On Monday, the day their engagement was announced, Prince William and Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, released a joint statement that read, “We are very excited for Harry and Meghan. It has been wonderful getting to know Meghan and to see how happy she and Harry are together.”

Middleton then followed this up with a solo soundbite: “William and I are absolutely thrilled,” she said. “It’s such exciting news. It’s a really happy time for any couple, and we wish them all the best and hope they enjoy this happy moment.”

And now Prince William is doing the same. Cameras caught the Duke of Cambridge leaving an ice rink in Finland Wednesday (November 29) and asked him his thoughts on Markle and Prince Harry’s engagement. His reply was sweet and standard: “We’re very excited,” he said. “Delighted for them both. Wishing them all the happiness during this exciting time…They’ve got a lot of happy times ahead of them.” However, he added something to his statement that’s both hilarious and strange: He hopes Prince Harry will stay out of his fridge now that he’s engaged. Wait, what?

“Personally, I hope it means [Prince Harry] stays out of my fridge and will stop him scrounging my food, which he’s done for the last few years,” Prince William said. Hear it for yourself, below:

What does this…mean? Was single Prince Harry unable to properly nourish himself? Did Prince William and Middleton have to reheat their leftovers for him? Was life before Markle so distressing that Prince Harry forgot where his own fridge was?

Who knows, but this quote is everything. Fingers crossed Prince William buys his brother a fridge as an engagement gift.

Kate Middleton and Prince William Are 'Absolutely Thrilled' About Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Engagement


While the whole royal family is undoubtedly over the moon about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s engagement, Kate Middleton could be the happiest of all since, come next spring, she’ll no longer be the only commoner living at Kensington Palace. During a visit to London’s Foundling Museum on Tuesday morning to learn about their art therapy programs and meet families who have been a part of the museum’s education and outreach program, the mom-to-be spoke about how happy she and Prince William are to welcome Markle into the family.

“William and I are absolutely thrilled,” she told reporters outside the museum, according to People. “It’s such exciting news. It’s a really happy time for any couple, and we wish them all the best and hope they enjoy this happy moment.” This echoed the royal couple’s previous statement about the engagement. “We are very excited for Harry and Meghan. It has been wonderful getting to know Meghan and to see how happy she and Harry are together,” they said on Monday, shortly after Markle and Prince Harry’s engagement was announced via the official Clarence House Twitter account.

According to the statement, the royal wedding will take place in spring 2018, although it’s unclear whether Harry and Meghan will tie the knot before or after Middleton gives birth to her third child in April 2018. In the meantime, however, the statement notes, the Suits star will move into Nottingham Cottage, Prince Harry’s home right next door to Will and Kate’s massive Apartment 1A on the Kensington Palace grounds—so the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will have plenty of time to get to know their sister-in-law-to-be by the time the wedding rolls around. No word yet on whether Markle has already been roped into babysitting duty for Prince George and Princess Charlotte, but we can only assume that they’re as thrilled as their parents to welcome their new aunt into the family.
