Prince Harry has finally left Clarence House where his father lives and followed his brother, William, and the Duchess of Cambridge to the newly refurbished Kensington Palace. The Princes are like two peas in a pod, they adore each other and don’t want to be separated.

The two men have always been key sources of support for each other, as proven recently on Harry’s official royal trip to the Caribbean; William was always on hand to offer advice to his younger brother over the phone, even though he was serving the RAF in the Falklands.

An anonymous royal source told CNN: “Prince Harry and Prince William are a double act for the rest of their lives. They are very loyal and trust each other. Loyalty is key. Harry is very respectful towards William.” This is not the first time the Princes have occupied Kensington Palace— they lived there with Princess Diana when they were young.

The Duke and Duchess will occupy a renovated suite of rooms in Kensington come 2013, but for now they live on the Palace grounds, in Nottingham Cottage, and Prince Harry is in an apartment nearby. Harry is expected to take over the cottage once William and Katemove into their suite. But, before then, Harry is expected to go to Afghanistan for a second round of military service as an Apache pilot.

Clarence House warns Pippa Middleton to keep a low profile

Pippa Middleton, now a regular on the London party circuit, has pulled out of a very glitzy London social event— the Square Mile Masked Ball to be held at the Royal Courts of Justice on Nov. 25, in aid of the Mayor’s Fund for London.

The London Evening Standard suggests the change in her social calender comes after a warning from Clarence House; various sources say they have asked her to keep a low profile, following her highly publicized split last week from boyfriend banker Alex Loudon.

Pippa is a media magnet, wherever she goes the cameras follow, so it was a sore surprise to event organizers that she was pulling out. They even put her name on the event press release to attract more people.

“They heard from Pippa last week. She and a guest were due to attend but ball organisers heard the plans had changed on Thursday,” an insider allegedly told Us.

“From what I hear Pippa’s been making a few alterations to her social calendar. It looks like she’s trying to keep a low profile — which is a bit of a change.”

Several media outlets have asked Clarence House to comment, but they are keeping tight-lipped about the situation.

Media showing respect to Duchess of Cambridge, press obsession with Pippa Middleton growing

The press are in the process of proving to the new Duchess of Cambridge that they are capable of respecting boundaries:

The royal couple’s honeymoon in the Seychelles was kept relatively private, even though most reporters knew their whereabouts— And coverage of the Duchess last week was quite restrained, especially given it was her first official event as a member of “The Firm,”where she met one of the most high profile couples in the world: Barack and Michelle Obama.

Clarence House has asked that Will and Kate  “be allowed to enjoy their married life unhindered,” reports the Telegraph.

And, according to a recent study coverage of Kate has dropped an astounding 94 percent since she married her prince (now the Duke of Cambridge) in April.

However, while the Duchess has been left alone, reports about her sister Pippa have sky rocketed—It is Pippa Middleton who has been dominating the headlines ever since the royal nuptials.

“Her rise has been meteoric, to the extent that two weeks after the wedding Pippa overtakes Kate in our media survey,” reports Brian Merron from Kantar Media Intelligence. With the media focus now moving on from the newlyweds it’s safe to say that Pippa Middleton’s celebrity status is well and truly set to climb and climb.”

Royal wedding prep in full swing: rehearsals took place Wednesday, flowers begin to arrive at abbey


Full royal wedding rehearsal:

Wednesday evening Prince William and Kate Middleton had a full wedding rehearsal at Westminster Abbey, where flowers have already started to arrive.

Select members of the wedding party were present and the couple had an audience with the Dean of the abbey.

“Last night, the couple attended a full and final wedding rehearsal at Westminster Abbey along with Prince Harry and Miss Middleton’s parents,” reports the Telegraph.”Their black police Range Rover, with a motorcade of people carriers and police outriders, swept into Dean’s Yard at 7.30pm for a run-through. The couple left the abbey just after 9pm.”

Have Will and Kate written their own vows?

Kate drove from her family home to Clarence House early Wednesday morning and in the back of her car photographers could make out a sheet of paper with some writing on it. Much of the writing was obscured, but they could make out the words ‘With so much love within our hearts.’ This is leading people to speculate the couple could be writing their own vows.

An early morning for London military personnel:

A 4 a.m. wedding rehearsal was attended yesterday morning,  by over 1,000 soldiers, sailors and airmen who before gathered for a 2 a.m. briefing at Wellington Barracks near Buckingham Palace.

The Telegraph reports the gathering dispersed just before 5 a.m. so they could trek the “ceremonial route” from the palace to Westminster Abbey.

“The procession later made its way back along Whitehall, Horse Guards Parade and The Mall, all of which were closed to traffic,” reports the Telegraph.

EOnline reports that Kate had a look-a-like to stand in for her:”A “pretty brunette” emerged from the exact car that will carry Kate on Friday, prompting cheers from the crowd before they realized it was just her stand in,” said the report.
