It was taken by Mario Testino during their official engagement portrait session, and it shows the couple all-smiles and relaxed. Inside the magazine there are further portraits by Testino, including an iconic image of Princess Diana from 1997. One worth hanging onto as a keepsake perhaps.

Prince William and Kate Middleton's North America Tour Schedule
0 comments Posted by pece at 1:56 PM
Off the heels of their romantic honeymoon, Prince William and Kate Middleton are trading in the Seychelles for a setting that's a little less tropical -- Canada. The pair announced an 11-day trip next month to North American during which they'll even attend a cattle stampede in Calgary, according to People.
The royal couple will participate in "the diversity [and] vibrancy of Canada, its geography and people," a St. James' Palace source told People.
The trip will mark the couple's first post-wedding royal tour, an important part of maintaining their world presence as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the potential future king and queen of England. Plus Middleton is interested in learning more about her family's history -- her grandfather was stationed as a bomber pilot in Canada during World War II.
Although their American pit-stops have yet to be revealed, it has been announced that William and Middleton will travel from Montreal to Quebec to Calgary during the Canadian leg of their trip before flying to Los Angeles on July 8. But the pair won't get caught up in the La-La Land celebrity world.
"The couple view this as a working visit, not as an opportunity for them to meet celebrities," the palace source continued.
We hope that all work and no play won't make for a dull royal couple. At least the pair won't be bogged down by a royal fleet of security guards -- Prince William and Middleton plan on keeping "their entourage to a minimum." But with a rumored 40 different outfit changes throughout the tour, we have a feeling Middleton will need more than a few extra men to carry her bags.

The newlyweds will appear in a never-before-seen photo shot by famed lensman Mario Testino on the cover of the mag’s July issue, according to a US report. It comes 14 years after William’s late mother Princess Diana starred in a series of Testino portraits for the publication.
He shot their engagement last year.
But one frame was saved that will be used on the cover.
It will hit US newsstands next week.
Testino said he joked around to get the pair to relax for the pics. He said: 'I perform for people, I make them laugh, I make a fool of myself.'

Royal biographer predicts Kate Middleton will be pregnant in months
0 comments Posted by pece at 6:27 PMThe journalist and author, who penned a biography of Princess Diana called Diana: Her True Story, thinks that Prince William and Kate - now officially known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge – will waste no time in starting a family.
Speaking to No.1 magazine, Morton said: “I’m pretty confident that, according to Royal tradition, she’ll be pregnant within the next few months. Every reigning monacrch for the last 200 years has had a child within a year-and-a-half; Diana was pregnant within three months."
The biographer also took a guess at the sex of the couple's first child, continuing: “I expect her to have a girl because helicopter pilots traditionally have girls and I expect the baby’s name to have Diana in it.”
However Mr Morton’s predictions could end up being far off the mark; after all, Kate and Wills shunned tradition by dating for eight years before getting engaged – much longer than normal Royal courtships.
They also lived together for many years before marrying and have decided to return to their rented cottage in Wales to start married life, rather than moving into one of the luxurious Royal residences.
The couple are also thought to be planning to spend at least two more yeas in Anglesey, while William continues in his job as a search and rescue pilot with the RAF, so baby plans might be off the radar for a while yet.

The Obamas were first greeted by Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip before heading inside Buckingham Palace to hang with the Duke and Duchess.
Inside, America’s royal couple chatted with the UK’s royal couple about Will and Kate’s upcoming visit to California in July. Michelle and Katherine were overheard talking about the royal wedding and fashion. Love it!
In a rare honor, the President and First Lady were then given a 41-gun salute by Scots Guards in red jackets, who also played the Star-Spangled Banner.
Oddly enough, William and Kate were not included in the lunch and are not set to take seats at the grand State Banquet on Tuesday night. The Queen is really pushing this whole ‘you’re a duchess, not a Princess thing’.
About 200 royals and other dignitaries, including the Obamas are expected for dinner. The Pres and First Lady will spend two days at Buckingham Palace before heading out to other parts of Europe.

According to The Sun newspaper, seeing Prince William and Prince Harry using one was enough to spark interest in Apple's tablet. A royal insider claims, 'The Queen hadn’t seen anything like the iPad before. She was very impressed.'
At 85, you wouldn't expect someone of that generation to be particularly tech-savvy, but the Queen has been known to use her gadgets, including a mobile phone her son, the Duke of York, bought as a present a decade ago.
Obviously not content with old technology, the Queen was given a BlackBerry Bold by manufacturer itself. We doubt her BBM pin number is given out to many people.
Her Majestly also allegedly bought a silver iPod Touch in 2007, so it would seem an allegiance with Apple has already been formed.
Perhaps the Queen uses Know Your Mobile for all her app news? We would love to think so. It's obvious our Royal Wedding invite got lost in the post.

Given as a wedding present, the little Humbolt penguin called Acorn lives at Chester Zoo in England.
The animal will remain with the other penguins but staff at Chester Zoo are hoping the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, as they are now officially known, will come and visit him.
'Hopefully the happy couple will come and see little Acorn playing in his pool very soon,' a zoo spokesman told Us Magazine. 'It's a real honour to be able to boast Prince William and Kate as penguin adopters.”

About Wedding Gown
Moments after she appeared at the entrance of Westminster Abbey, the BBC tweeted: "Kate Middleton's wedding dress is an ivory gown with lace applique floral detail designed by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen." “Miss Middleton chose British brand Alexander McQueen for the beauty of its craftsmanship and its respect for traditional workmanship and the technical construction of clothing," the statement posted on Royal channel.

| Kate's Wedding Gown (Designed by Sarah Burton) |
According to the statement released by Clarence House, "Miss Middleton wished for her dress to combine tradition and modernity with the artistic vision that characterises Alexander McQueen’s work. Miss Middleton worked closely with Sarah Burton in formulating the design of her dress.
The dress epitomises timeless British craftsmanship by drawing together talented and skilled workmanship from across the United Kingdom. The dress design pays tribute to the Arts and Crafts tradition, which advocated truth to materials and traditional craftsmanship using simple forms and often Romantic styles of decoration. Ms Burton’s design draws on this heritage, additionally giving the cut and the intricate embellishment a distinctive, contemporary and feminine character."
But earlier Burton repeated denied the fact that she has been doing an exceptional job. It is also known to all what she is wearing under the gown and it is "glamorous and sexy" hosiery by Aristoc.
