Kate Middleton

Poor Fergie. If the public humiliation of drunkenly trying to sell your ex-husband's influence to an undercover News of the World reporter dressed up as a sheik isn't enough, what about being shut out of the most important social event of the decade? The Duchess of York’s ex, Prince Andrew, an uncle of the groom, is planning to attend the wedding, as are her daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. Now that must hurt, but it's also hardly unexpected—even for Fergie.

Another royal embarrassment! This week the UK tabs are tittering over the fact that Kate Middleton’s see-through dress – the one she famously modeled at a university fashion show for an audience that included a suddenly smitten Prince William – is set to be auctioned off to the highest bidder next month.

Miss Jerramy Fine is the author of Someday My Prince Will Come, a hilarious memoir chronicling the story of an American girl who grows up longing to become an English princess – so much so that she eventually moves to London, and stalks a real live prince.

In the era of email and Twitter, the Canadian postal service is not exactly known for speedy delivery. But they have decided to step up the pace over the next few months in honour of the royal wedding.

Advice and bowls. This, in my experience, is what most newlyweds can expect to get lots of in the months leading up to a wedding. The bowls are slightly curious – what is it about the celebration of unity that inspires people to gift crystal fruit and salad vessels?
