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.

Prince Harry.

Prince Harry might be returning to Afghanistan for another front-line military mission. Prince Harry, who goes by Harry Wales in the army, has been cleared to go back into active service. Harry, 26, is an Apache helicopter pilot and will finish his 'conversion to role' training in England, a 7-month programme, before he can be redeployed. When he finishes the course he'll be assigned to an Apache squadron and can then be sent, wherever the army wants him to go.

Harry spent 10 weeks fighting in Afghanistan in late 2007-early 2008 as a second lieutenant in the Blues and Royals regiment of the Household Cavalry. He didn't want to leave the troops, but was pulled and sent back to England because his deployment and details thereof were published in the press.

Mike Tindall and Zara Philips.

Zara Philips, Princess Anne's second child and only daughter, cousin of Princes William and Harry, will marry rugby player Mike Tindall July 30th, 2011, in Canongate Kirk. The captain of the England team, as well as the Outside centre player for Gloucester Rugby celebrated his upcoming marriage with a stag weekend, this weekend. Mike, 32, and ten of his best friends flew out to Miami last Thursday. They are staying at the W Hotel in South Beach, where Mike has been photographed downing cans of beer in the hotel pool. The group rounded off their holiday with a party at nightclub LIV at the Fontainebleau Hotel, apparently Mike immediately put his bank card behind the bar after arriving shortly after midnight, when he picked it back up, 5 hours later, the group had racked up a drink bill of $20,000 USD/£ 12,000/ 13.900 Euros!

Iain Balshaw and Mike Tindall bare it all to raise awereness of testicular cancer.

The group, including best man and fellow rugby player Iain Balshaw, were joined by several women over the course of the night and Mike was seen dancing with a 'scantily clad waitress'. Let's hope that they shared their alcohol, 10 guys can drink a lot, but this much?? The bill showed: an $825 (£508/575 Euros) bottle of vintage Perrier-Jouët Brut Millésime, a Dom Perignon Rose 1996 priced at $1,395 (£859/971 Euros), 10 bottles of vodka, 10 bottles of tequila, 1 bottle of sambuca, and 34 cans of Red Bull.Now that is a lot of alcohol! I'm sure that we can add 'terrible hang over' into the mix!

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.
