Karen Gordon and Charles Spencer.

Charles Spencer, the brother of the late Princess Diana, married Karen Gordon in a morning ceremony at his ancestral home, in Northamptonshire, England. The ceremony was attended by close family and friends.

Canadian philantropist Karen, 37, wore a sleeveless ivory lace dress. No word on the rest of the wedding party. In attendance were Earl Spencer's children from his two previous marriages. Kitty, 20, Eliza, 18, Amelia, 18, and Louis, 16, from his first marriage to Victoria Lockwood, and Edmund, 7, and Lara, 5, from his marriage to Caroline Freud.

Prince William and Kate were not in attendance, but not a word about the Earl, 47, his other nephew, Prince Harry.

Pippa Middleton and Alex Loudon.

The English tabloids are sure. Kate Middleton's younger sister Philippa Middleton, commonly known as Pippa, is without a boyfriend.

The new socialite was accompanied by boyfriend Alex Loudon to her sister's royal wedding in April, but according to reports the couple have broken up since. Apparently, Pippa's new found 'celebrity status' put a strain on the relationship, but both Pippa and Alex are committed to staying friends.

How long Pippa,27 has been single for is unknown. Pippa and Alex, 30, a former professional cricket player turned broker started dating shortly before Christmas. A 'friend' is quoted by the Times of London as saying that "it is common knowledge in their close circle of friends that Pippa and Alex have recently split up."

Undoubtedly reports will start flying around about a possible romance between Pippa and Prince Harry. However, Pippa has lately been spotted out quite a number of times with George Percy. George is an ex-boyfriend from college. They were recently seen together on holiday in Madrid, as well as watching tennis together at the Queens Club.

Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip and the Dean of Windsor, June 12th, 2011.

Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, celebrated his 90th birthday today. This morning there was a service at St. George's Chapel (the place of worship at Windsor Castle) to honour Prince Philip's service to Great-Britain and the Queen. Of course, the day wouldn't have been complete without the entire royal family present,

Prince Harry and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrive at the service.

including Britain's favourite couple, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, aka William and Kate, as well as royal bad boy Prince Harry.

Unfortunately the weather was very British this morning, meaning that it rained. Fortunately that gives us a really nice snapshot of William holding an umbrella up so that Kate's outfit ( a blue brocade frock and nude LK Bennett pumps) & hair won't get ruined. Harry doesn't really seem to care.

After the service a canapé-and-drinks reception followed at the Grand Reception Room of St. George's Hall, on the grounds of Windsor Castle. There were 750 guests in attendance, among the royal guests were Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, the Duke of York and the Earl of Wessex (aka Prince Andrew, second son of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, and Prince Edward, their third son), the Princess Royal (Princess Anne, the royal couple's only daughter), Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice and Zara Philips.

The reception wasn't the end of the festivities for the royal family, as they also had a private lunch with Prince Philip's wider family, including King Constantine of Greece and royalty from Germany and Jordan.

It was quite the weekend for Kate, as she attended the Trooping of the Colour with the royal family yesterday and then attended the wedding of friends Sam Waley-Cohen and Annabel Ballin with sister Pippa, making today her third public appearance in two days.

Mr. and Mrs. Sam Cooper.

Lily Allen and Sam Cooper got married today in Cranham (near Gloucestershire), England. The 26-year old bride was escorted down the aisle by her father, actor and comedian Keith Allen. The wedding was attended by less than 100 guests in the (reportedly) tiny church. Sam, a 32-year old decorator and business owner, proposed last Christmas.

Lily's dress was designed by French designer Delphine Manivet. It had over-the-elbow lace sleeves, a lace overlay, a long train, a fishtail skirt and a sweetheart neckline, that in combination with her veil gave the total quite a 1920's feel. Sam looked dashing in his black suit, grey tie and white rose corsage. I also really love Lily's wedding bouquet, but other than the fact that there are white roses in it, I can't seem to find the names of the other flowers in there. Pity.

According to The Daily Telegraph Lily's dress echoed Kate's (as in, from William, aka the duchess of Cambridge) wedding dress. I would disagree, the sweetheart neckline and the fishtail skirt make it a completely different dress. There's a good chance that the author of the Daily Telegraph article was a guy though :)

The wedding was no secret after a wedding guest had leaked the save the day card to the press, it's unknown who this person is, but Lily went into a state of rage and tweeted this message on March 30th "Oh and whoever leaked my wedding invite to the press, you're a dick and your not invited anymore, have some respect and stay at home."

As much as Khloe Kardashian is looking forward to the wedding of sister Kim to Kris Humphries, she's also a bit scared. She says "I'm looking forward to being in the wedding, (but) I don't want to help because Kim is going to be such a bridezilla! If I do one thing wrong, I'll be screwed! But I would love to be in the wedding." Khloe almost forces Kim in allowing her to be a part in the wedding by saying that Kourtney and Kim "were both my maids of honor, so she has to do the same for us." I guess that she then also has to suffer through Kim's Bridezilla attacks!

As for details of the wedding, no-one knows, not even a date has (officially) been set. However, according to Khloe, we can be certain of one thing: it's going to be big and it's going to rival the royal wedding of William and Kate.

As for the Bret Lockett controversy, Khloe has one thing to say: "This person is, I think, crazy." Lockett, a New England Patriot player, claims that he had a 'texting relationship' (really, that's a relationship??!!) with Kim for the past five months. Kim's lawyer denies it as well and they might even sue. Exciting!

William and Kate have been living in a $1200 a month farmhouse in Anglesey, Northern Wales, where William is a search and rescue pilot for the Royal Air Force. However, as of the end of this month the couple's London residence will be an apartment in Kensington Palace, the place where Princess Diana lived until her untimely death in 1997. The two bedroom apartment will not be their main residence, that'll remain to be the Anglesey farmhouse. However, if you're planning on visiting London, then you just might be able to catch a glimpse of the couple at their new residence, that is, once the renovation is done with.

Now that the sound of wedding bells has faded into the background it appears that it's time for some new William and Kate rumours.... In Touch Magazine claims to quote Camilla as saying that Kate has fertility issues. Very 'evil stepmom'-like, hadn't we ditched that stereotype a long time ago? Anyway, if they don't conceive within the first 9 months they'll defy a 170 year old tradition. Moreover, if they would adopt, the child would not be able to become king/queen, only biological children have that right, so if they don't have biological children Harry's future oldest child will be the first in line to the thrown.

The things one can worry about not even a month after their wedding, when they haven't even returned from their honeymoon :S I'm calling BS on this article, big time. To all nay-sayers out there I'd like to say: rules (traditions) are made to be broken and let them focus on their own happiness first, before Great-Britain/the rest of the world goes into mass hysteria.

What do you think?
