Queen Kate Middleton Bikini Pictures

Prince William definitely married above his station, I mean, if you discount the crown jewels and castles and cool-ass royal hounds, then you’ve got a prematurely bald goof ball getting hitched to Kate Middleton, a sweet-bikini bodied hottie, seen here in recently discovered additions to the the famous Kate Middleton white bikini picture sets from a few years ago where the Princess-to-be flashes a regally awesome body, something bound to go down as top notch in the history of the House of Windsor, no offense to Liz II and her classic booty.

Geri Halliwell looks ready for summer as she launches bikini collection for Next

She’s famous for her yo-yoing figure, but Geri Halliwell is looking better than ever as she launches a new swimwear range for High Street brand Next.

'It's for real women of all shapes and sizes,’ she has previously said of the range.
‘Everything is mix and match, so you can choose the exact shapes and styles that suit you.
'This is a collection that makes you look good and feel fabulous.'
Geri will no doubt be hoping to emulate the success of her former Spice Girls bandmate Victoria Beckham who has become one of the most sought after designers for Hollywood stars.

She recently said that she hoping to reunite with the other Spice Girls to perform at the opening ceremony of next year's Olympic Games in London.
'The Spice Girls are part of me and always will be,' she told the Mirror.
'If it happened and felt natural and right, then I’m always open to singing with the other girls.
'Singing at the Games is a great idea and would be an amazing opportunity – and it’s a sign the Brits are back. This is our time. Everything is circular and now there’s a British pop revival.
'It needs to put itself back on the map on a world stage. This is our opportunity to show that British music, which has led and dominated the world, should do, always.'

Same place, same pose... but two very different stories: Why Kate and William's official photo points to a happier future than Charles and Di

The echoes of a Royal wedding from an earlier era are difficult to ignore.
The backdrop is the same: the opulent red-and-gold decor of the grand Throne Room at Buckingham Palace. And the mischievous smiles on the faces of some of the bridesmaids and page boys – and endearingly bewildered expressions on the others – are strikingly similar.
But, 30 years after the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer, the official wedding picture of Prince William and Kate Middleton also reflects the differences between the two couples' relationships.

The photograph of Charles and Diana, taken by Patrick Lichfield, seemed to capture a moment of spontaneous informality, with the wedding party collapsing in a fit of giggles. But, as we now know, the warmth was not reflected in the marriage itself.
By contrast, Kate and William's picture, by photographer Hugo Burnand, appears more formal, despite little Tom Pettifer's insistence on leaning in as close to the bride as possible.

Yet it is the small touches that are most telling. In Lichfield's picture, Charles looks curiously detached, but Kate and William's togetherness is plain to see.

Mario Testino may have received praise for his engagement portraits of William and Kate, but their choice of Hugo Burnand to take their official wedding pictures has cemented the latter's status as the Royal Family's favourite photographer.
Mr Burnand, 47, has been entrusted with capturing many of the Royals' most important occasions in recent years, including Prince Charles's 60th birthday and his marriage to Camilla. He has also won the respect of the Queen and Princes William and Harry after taking their pictures on previous occasions.

The noise and crowds were a bit too much for Grace van Cutsem on the balcony, but the photographer said she was adorable and knew how to pose for pictures (pictured right with Eliza Lopes)
An Old Harrovian and seasoned society photographer known for his charm and discretion, as well as his talent for portraits, Mr Burnand represents a more traditional choice than Mr Testino, who is famed for his glossy celebrity and fashion photoshoots.
However, Mr Burnand has photographed his share of A-listers, including Bill Clinton, President Mikhail Gorbachev, Baroness Thatcher, Victoria Beckham and Michael Jackson. He was also responsible for taking the pictures at the 1996 wedding of David and Samantha Cameron.
The Royal Wedding commission was a major coup for the London-based father of four, who has worked at Tatler magazine since 1993.
Yesterday, he described it as 'the gig of the century', adding: 'It was amazing, incredible, and there were a couple of moments where I did pinch myself.'
Of the mood in the Throne Room, he said: 'From where I was, and from their point of view, it was two families coming together and that was the feeling – the sense of family and love going between everyone.'
He described the happy couple as 'just so nice as individuals and as a pair', and revealed that Kate, who has worked as a photographer for her parents' company Party Pieces, had contributed her own ideas for the pictures.
Mr Burnand got to know Prince William when he photographed him on his polo pony and at Windsor Castle as part of the wedding party for his father's second marriage in 2005.
He shares with the Prince a tragedy in his past: he, too, lost his mother in a car accident. Susan Gordon died in 1964, the year after he was born.
His stepmother Ursy Burnand, whom his father Peter married in 1967, is also a photographer – and was one of his assistants on the Royal Wedding shoot.
Born in Cannes, France, Mr Burnand won his first photography competition at the age of seven, at Cheam School, which was also attended by Prince Philip and Prince Charles.
During his time at Harrow, he became the school's unofficial photographer, taking portraits of school-leavers.
He did not become a professional photographer until 1991, after a string of jobs including stable hand and insurance broker.
THE PHOTOGRAPHER AND HOW HE PREPARED FOR THE BIG DAY


Hugo Burnand, the official wedding photographer
Mr Burnand spent months preparing for the wedding.
He was accompanied by assistants including his mother, photographer Ursy Burnand, 71, who he says is an invaluable member of the team.
As well as cameras, spares and spares of spares, the team were carrying extensive lighting and computing equipment.
They were also using stopwatches to ensure perfect timing.
Mr Burnand has photographed everyone from Spike Milligan to Michael Jackson and former prime minister Lady Thatcher.
He was commissioned to photograph the marriage of the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall in 2005 and the wedding of David and Samantha Cameron in 1996.
Charles also asked him to take the birthday image which marked his 60th year in 2008.
Mr Burnand, 47, who has four children with wife Louisa, has also taken pictures of William and Prince Harry and the Queen.
He has been a photographer for Tatler magazine since 1993.
He has had an interest in cameras since he was a young boy and learned to develop his films and make prints using a makeshift darkroom in his family's kitchen.
The old Harrovian, based in Notting Hill, west London, said: 'I never really got nervous. You almost go into another zone when it's happening.'

Did Kate's Mum help to choose something special for the trousseau?

In her traditional ivory wedding gown, Kate Middleton looked every inch the demure bride.

But in the Berkshire town of Hungerford, the talk on Friday was not just of her beautiful Sarah Burton dress – but what she might have been wearing underneath.

For a fortnight ago, as she made her final wedding preparations, Kate spent an afternoon buying lingerie with her mother and sister in a local shop.


Kate, her sister Pippa and mother Carole, spent an afternoon having a private fitting in Angela Knight Lingerie in the Berkshire town of Hungerford (the shop sells Myla underwear pictured above)
The trio had a private fitting in Angela Knight Lingerie on April 16, while two protection officers waited outside.
Miss Knight, who owns the business, refused to disclose the exact items bought by the bride, but revealed she, Carole and Pippa bought ‘sets of lingerie’.
When asked if their purchases may have been part of their trousseau – the set of clothes a bride-to-be buys for her wedding day and married life – Miss Knight laughed coyly. But last week, a package labelled with the shop’s name was delivered to the Middletons’ home 16 miles away in Bucklebury.
Kate’s mother Carole has been a customer of Miss Knight’s for years.



Was Kate's lingerie purchase a fortnight ago part of the trousseau - the set of clothes a bride-to-be buys for her wedding day and married life?
‘When the Middletons came in, I just acted normally even though I had no prior warning they were coming,’ said Miss Knight, who closed the business for the afternoon so the family could browse in private.
‘I think of my shop as a theatre so for me, it worked very well to invite our future Queen into
that theatre.’

Her store is filled with exotic lingerie from designer labels such as Velda Lauder, Myla and Sally Jones, with prices ranging from £30 to £130 for a bra.
The shop also features a burlesque-themed private area where men can watch their wives or girlfriends have a fitting – and a section selling more risque items including upmarket corsets, negligees, feather boas and riding crops.

Miss Knight, a 46-year-old mother of five, admitted she made a slight faux pas with her high-profile customer.
‘I have a plastic frog which I show to customers and ask them to kiss, saying it will turn their boyfriends and husbands into a prince,’ she said.
‘I asked Kate to kiss the frog but didn’t realise the implications of what I had said until it was too late.
‘I thought to myself, “Oh well, she is marrying a prince anyway” and tried to gloss over it. Kate just laughed.’
Yesterday, Miss Knight gave a hint of her association with the bride when she posted on the company’s Facebook page: ‘Congratulations to Kate and Will! xxx.’

Pippa Middleton’s party role and what’s next for her

Photo: Bauer-Griffin

LONDON -- Pippa Middleton completed her spectacular rise to royal prominence with a vital role in ensuring that the royal wedding late-night party went off without a hitch.

After wowing a worldwide audience with a much-admired white dress during the official ceremony at Westminster Abbey, the stunning sister of Prince William’s new bride, Princess Catherine, kept the Buckingham Palace celebrations on course well into the not-so-early hours of the morning.

Pippa made sure that revelers kept their spirits and festivity levels high by injecting some welcome energy just as the party began to die down.

"You have to remember that everyone had been up since early in the morning, and it was an exhausting day," a female guest told Yahoo.com. "By the midway point of the evening, once all the formal stuff was out of the way, things needed a bit of a boost. That is when Pippa came into her own, getting people onto the dance floor and revving things up again. She was great!"

Comments regarding Pippa and her wedding day dress sent the Internet into overdrive early Friday, with Twitter being swamped with remarks about her looks and figure.

However, our source revealed that her eveningwear was even more impressive, an emerald green creation with a low neckline that had male guests, including Prince Harry, entranced. To see more of Pippa's striking party dress, go to BauerGriffinonline.com. Her sister again wore a dress by Sarah Burton, the same designer who concocted her bridal outfit.

Prince Harry thrilled the guests with a classy and amusing best man’s speech, which paid a fitting tribute to his brother and new sister-in-law, and revealed the level of affection he has for both.

There was, however, no sign of romance between Harry and Pippa, despite the level of Internet speculation following Harry’s post-wedding comments that Pippa looked “beautiful.” Pippa is in a relationship with former England international cricketer Alex Loudon, who now works as a successful financier in London.

So what now for the younger Middleton sister? Pippa’s newfound profile means she will become popular fodder for the English tabloids, which will be delighted to have more freedom to report on her life than that of the royals -- due to a long-standing agreement between the British media and the monarchy.

After returning to the Middleton family home on Saturday morning, this time in a royal blue jacket and tight white jeans, she is expected to return to work as a party planner with the London firm Table Talk on Tuesday, although she will be given extra time off if needed to recover from the exhausting efforts of the past two weeks.

The firm hopes to use Pippa’s increased celebrity as a way of attracting more business, while she is also expected to take a bigger role with her parents’ company, Party Pieces, where she currently updates the website.

Either way, Pippa’s life will be considerably different from now on, with her every move to be scrutinized after a weekend when she became a fully fledged celebrity in front of the eyes of billions.

NEW YORK - Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon celebrated their third anniversary with another milestone — becoming parents to a baby girl and boy.

Carey's representative, Cindi Berger, confirmed the births to The Associated Press. The singing superstar gave birth Saturday at 12:07 p.m. EDT at an undisclosed hospital in Los Angeles. Berger says the baby girl was born first, weighing 5 pounds, 3 ounces, and was 18 inches long; her brother was next, at 5 pounds 6 ounces, and was 19 inches.

Berger says the couple has not named the children yet. Cannon drove Carey to the hospital in their Rolls-Royce Phantom. Berger said the 41-year-old Carey, who had gone through false labor, was calm, thinking that it was another false alarm.

Meanwhile, the 30-year-old Cannon was so nervous he went to the wrong department at the hospital, and was guided to the maternity ward by a nurse.

"It was like right out of an 'I Love Lucy' skit," said Berger.

Berger says they were listening to Carey's "We Belong Together" after the children were born.

The couple are expected to renew their wedding vows on Sunday. The pair got married in 2007 after a whirlwind romance. They were the subject of endless baby rumors, and the couple actually were expecting shortly after their marriage, but Carey had a miscarriage; they did not reveal the miscarriage until she announced her pregnancy last fall.

The couple plan to live a bi-coastal life, and have luxurious nurseries in both New York and Los Angeles.

As far as more children, Carey recently declared she's done

Here comes the McQueen: Kate Middleton marries her Prince in stunning design by Sarah Burton

Since the engagement was announced, the world has been waiting with bated breath for the moment Catherine Elizabeth Middleton would transform from commoner to royal bride.
And smiling Catherine was the picture of poise as she walked down the aisle wearing a stunning ivory and satin Alexander McQueen gown designed by Sarah Burton - finally confirming the most well-kept secret in fashion history.

Breathaking: Catherine's feminine dress was understated yet show-stopping


The 9ft train flowed from a skirt echoing an opening flower, with white satin gazar arches and pleats
The bride was heavily involved in making the dress and worked closely with Burton to ensure it would be a combination of both the traditional and the modern.
The result is a stunning lace appliqué bodice with 9ft train - that appeared to be inspired by Grace Kelly's gown for her marriage to Monegasque Prince Rainier III.
Sporting a 1936 diamond Halo tiara by Cartier - her 'something borrowed' - lent to her by the Queen, Catherine's hair was worn, as expected, half up showing off her signature loose waves with a 'demi-chignon'.

The workmanship involved saw the dress was made with Individual flowers hand-cut from lace and hand-engineered onto ivory silk tulle
The natural look was offset by pear-shaped diamond earrings designed by Robinson Pelham and inspired by the Middleton's new coat of arms.
Her veil - made of layers of soft, ivory silk tulle with a trim of hand-embroidered flowers - fell to her waist.

The workmanship involved saw the dress was made with Individual flowers hand-cut from lace and hand-engineered onto ivory silk tulle to create a unique and organic design - which incorporates the rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock.
The matching wedding shoes were also hand-made by the team at Alexander McQueen and are made of ivory duchesse satin with lace hand-embroidered.


Here comes the bride: Kate Middleton makes her way from the Goring hotel to Westminster Abbeys
Celebrity bridal stylist Camilla Ridley Day hailed the dress a hit and 'perfect for a princess.'
Camilla said: 'She wears the dress, the dress doesn't wear her.
'It is totally fitting with her style and perfect for a princess. It is romantic and elegant, with long sleeves very suited to the Abbey.'
Despite rumours and rife speculation, Catherine insisted on keeping details under wraps to surprise
her husband-to-be, who will be one of the last in the world to see the stunning creation and was suitably impressed, whispering 'you look beautiful' as she joined him at the altar,
The bride decided not to use a make-up artist opting instead to do her own however opted for a beautician.


Inspiration: Catherine's gown is similar to Grace Kelly's for her marriage to Prince Rainer of Monaco in 1956
Speaking exclusively to Mail Online, Marina Scandoval said Kate had been ‘bubbling over with excitement’ about her big day.
‘She was so happy and spoke about how much she was looking forward to the wedding. I can’t tell you how excited she was.
‘She didn’t display an ounce of nerves and said she was just happy that the day was here at last.’
She used custom blended a special mix including Bourjois no 28 Rose Lounge and Essie 423 Allure.

Chelsy Davy and SamCam duet in turquoise as they lead the way in a colourful parade of A-listers at Westminster Abbey

Parliament Square turned into a fashion parade this morning as the Royal wedding guests arrived at Westminster Abbey.
Dozens of colourfully dressed invitees joined the queue at the North door of the Abbey clutching their much-coveted tickets.
Bright colours and top-to-toe shades were the order of the day, as Westminster Abbey was lit up with vibrant tones of teal, coral, cobalt and pink.
Among the first to arrive was on-off girlfriend of Prince Harry, Chelsy Davy, who arrived at the Abbey wearing an aqua green Alberta Ferretti skirt and off-the-shoulder jacket with a bow at the back, one of two outfits she had made for her by the Italian design house for the day.



Vivid colours: Chelsy Davy wears a bright aqua Alberta Ferretti skirt and jacket with grey lace hat by Victoria Grant; right, Samantha Cameron chose a vivid teal sheath dress with elaborate pleats by Burberry worn with orange scarf, necklace by Erdem and nude shoes - but the PM's wife left her head bare
Her taupe lace hat was made for her by milliner Victoria Grant.
For the evening party, Miss Davy is said to have chosen an asymmetric midnight-blue satin gown.
Following closely behind - and in an almost identical tone to that of Chelsy - Samantha Cameron arrived on the PM's arm, hitting the right note with her vivid teal sheath dress with elaborate pleats, designed by British fashion house Burberry.
The demure shoulders, high slash-cut neckline and on-the-knee length perfectly followed protocol for a guest at the royal nuptials, as well as SamCam's position as so-called First Lady of Britain.
The PM's wife accessorised with a contrasting bright orange scarf, statement necklace and nude shoes - but in a move some will no doubt deem controversial, the PM's wife left her head bare.
She was closely followed by David and Victoria Beckham, he in a bespoke Ralph Lauren morning suit, she in a navy creation from her own collection, paired with a pillbox hat by Philip Treacy and Christian Louboutin shoes customised for her by the designer himself.




Colour-blocking: Tara Palmer Tomkinson was a vision in electric blue, with a Philip Treacy hat topping off a clinging sheath dress and studded platform shoes in the same colour; right, Joss Stone shines in vivid coral
Tara Palmer Tomkinson stunned onlookers with eye-catching blue outfit. Perhaps taking her lead from the Queen, who is known for her matching top-to-toe outfits, Ms Palmer Tomkinson wore an off-the-shoulder sheath dress with jaunty blue Philip Treacy hat decorated with a matching bloom, leather gloves and studded platform shoes, all in an identical shade.
Arriving at the same time, singer Joss Stone - a close friend of William - attended wearing an almost luminous coral sheath dress with matching cropped jacket, matching shoes and a broad-brimmed straw hat adorned with delicate flowers.
Carole Middleton arrived at 10.30am sharp, wearing a simple elegant outfit in sky blue by Catherine Walker. The figure-skimming shift dress was paired with a longer dress coat embellished with beautiful detail on the cuffs, very structured with a nipped in waistline emphasising her slim figure. The quintessentially British label was a favourite of the late Princess of Wales.
According to protocol, the mother of the bride is offered first choice of colour for her outift, followed by the Queen and then Camilla
Looking nervous as she entered the church, the mother-of-the bride stopped to shake hands with church dignitaries before beginning the long walk down the aisle.




Figure-skimming: Sweden's Crown Princess Victoria, arriving with husband Prince Daniel, also went for the colour-blocking trend in an orange wrap dress with matching platform shoes and a wide-brimmed hat



Top gear: Princesses Eugenie, left, and Beatrice, right, arrive at Westminster Abbey wearing elaborate hats, with Eugenie in bright blue suit and Beatrice in taupe Valentino Haute Couture and Philip Treacy hat

Controversial: Sally Bercow, arriving at the Abbey with her husband John Bercow, Speaker of the House of Commons, revealed her ample cleavage in a dangerously low-cut dress with above-the-knee skirt with splitWedding planners had managed to conjure up an intimate atmosphere within the immense Abbey, creating an extraordinary avenue of 20ft tall summer maple trees that contrasted with the austere slabs of stone and the incredible height of the building.
Stepping on to the 300ft-long red carpet running the length of the Abbey, the first of the 1,850 guests filed quietly into the majestic Abbey to take their place in the pews, a three hour wait ahead of them before the ceremony was to begin.
Amid the ever-growing crowd glimpses of vivid scarlet could be spotted as members of the Irish Guard, the regiment of which William is an honorary colonel, arrived wearing the red uniform which is said to be the one William has chosen to wear to say his vows.

The last time the Irish Royal Guards suit was worn was in 1973 by Captain Mark Philips for his wedding to Princess Anne.
Hats appeared to be big news at the Abbey, with almost every female guest wearing either a hat or fascinator.
Doubtlessly this was partly as a mark of religious respect for the venue, but also thanks to the fact that Britain has two world class milliners in Philip Treacy and Stephen Jones, both favourite of the royals and their guests.

Hats have enjoyed something of a revival in the fashion crowd of late, and with Victoria Beckham setting the standard in her chic navy pillbox and Chelsy in her subtle grey lace fascinator, we can expect a cornucopia of colourful headgear to follow.
