The Midas Touch: Kate's Dress From Reiss Sells on EBay for Over 600 pounds

'Kate's been a loyal customer to us for years. She wore a Reiss dress for her engagement photos and has the Olivia - a white coat with black buttons,' an insider at the store said.

'But no one had seen her come in to buy the dress.


'She might have bought it a while ago when it first came out at the beginning of the season.'

'We were all very excited.'
Kate fans who can't raise £600 to buy their own version of the Reiss dress from eBay should take heart from news just in from Reiss that the Shola bandage dress will be soon be restocked across its stores and online.


The dress will be available to buy 'in a matter of weeks, not months' said the insider, hinting that the camel Shola could be available to buy before June is out.


Royalists - even the keenest ones - would be wise to save their pennies and wait until then. Click link for full post from The DailyMail.com

Busy Month of June for William and Kate

Before the big Canadian tour at the end of June, the couple will attend several high profile public events. There is Trooping the Colour on June 11. Kate, in formal get-up including a hat, will travel down the Mall in a carriage, while William, in his Irish Guards uniform, complete with a bearskin, is expected to ride a horse. It will end with their triumphant  return to the Palace balcony.

Then there are the 90th birthday celebrations for the Duke of Edinburgh at Windsor Castle, and Garter Day on June 13, with a procession at Windsor and service at St George’s Chapel for those, including William, who hold Britain’s highest order of chivalry, the Order of the Garter.

She is also said to be polishing her French for their tour of Canada, which begins on June 30. She is very much aware that the nation’s sizeable French-speaking population will judge her on her accent and command of the language — the Queen, Prince Charles and Prince William are all fluent.

Home Sweet Home!! William and Kate Return From Their Honeymoon - hellomagazine.com

Houses overlook the beach near the RAF Valley in Anglesey on March 25, 2011. The island of Anglesey has about as many sheep as people, but it is dreaming of international renown when newlyweds Prince William and Kate Middleton come to live there. Perched at the far end of Wales, it has little to offer tourists except wild heather battered by icy sea winds, rugged coasts and the village with Britain's longest name:

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are back on home turf after their idyllic ten-day honeymoon in the Indian Ocean.

The newlyweds had a "memorable" holiday in the Seychelles and "thoroughly enjoyed their time together", a statement from St James's Palace read.

And the couple are "grateful to the Seychelles government for their assistance in making the honeymoon such a memorable and special 10 days", it added.

Queen's Visit to IRELAND Hailed a Success




Princess Beatrice's Hat Sells for Over £80,000

Princess Beatrice arrives at Westminster Abbey for the wedding of Britain's Prince William and Kate Middleton in London in this April 29, 2011 file photo. The much-mocked hat worn by Princess Beatrice to Britain's royal wedding last month -- widely described as looking like a "toilet seat" -- is up for sale on eBay where bids have reached 18,400 pounds ($29,940). The tea rose, silk hat was "the most talked about hat of the whole occasion" Harold Tilman, Chairman of the British Fashion Council, said on eBay. Reuters Pictures

An eBay bidder has offered £80,000 for the spiralling Treacy headpiece worn by Princess Beatrice at last month's royal wedding.

On the eBay page the Princess has commented: "I've been amazed by the amount of attention the hat has attracted.

"It's a wonderful opportunity to raise as much money as possible for two fantastic charities.

"I hope whoever wins the auction has as much fun with the hat as I have."

The beige creation proved such a talking point it even has its own Facebook page, with more than 140,000 fans.

The Middleton Sisters


Photo: Taking the lead: Pippa Middleton has been stealing the limelight from her previously more famous sister, Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge


By any reckoning, this should have been the month when Kate Middleton was en-throned as Britain’s unrivalled icon of style.

Yet a fortnight on from that glorious wedding, whose face adorns the cover of no fewer than five celebrity and fashion magazines, from Grazia and Heat to Hello!? It’s not Kate’s, but Pippa’s.

Even at the wedding, it was Kate’s head that wore the tiara, but Pippa’s bottom that caused an internet sensation.

So what’s a big sister to do, to tame these reckless younger rivals?

In Kate Middleton’s case, the answer is obvious, for there’s another naughty younger sibling who’d be more than a match for Pippa.

Judging by the pictures of Prince Harry ogling his sister-in-law on the Big Day, it’s not such a far-fetched scenario. Might we one day see Her Royal Hotness exchanging a kiss with His Royal Rebelliousness on the Buckingham Palace balcony? Now that would certainly be a double whammy to make Carole Middleton burst with pride.
