OHMYGOSSIP — Prince Charles thinks Prince George’s new school will be good for character building.
The Prince of Wales was pleased his grandson’s first day at school went so well but quipped he wouldn’t be offering any advice as he doesn’t think George would “take it from him”.
When he was asked if he gave his grandson advice on his first day, he told ITV News: “Of course not! He wouldn’t take it from me, I don’t think at that age.
“He’s being left there to have to get on with it. At that age you don’t worry quite so much about going to school as you do when you get a bit older.”
It comes after Prince William revealed George had a great first day at St Thomas’s in Battersea and was thankful everything went smoothly unlike another parent who had some drama with her children.
He said: “It went well. There was one other parent who had more of an issue with their children so I was quite pleased I wasn’t the one.”
Meanwhile, the former headteacher Ben Thomas previously insisted Prince George won’t have any “special treatment” at his school.
Ben said: “Our aim for him, as well as for all of our pupils, is to provide a safe and secure and happy environment where he feels supported by a kind and loving community.
“That’s something we will be trying to achieve for him. There won’t be any special treatment at all. In fact, what his parents would like for him, as any parent would like for their child, is they have a wonderful, fulfilling and private childhood in a place which is secure.”

OHMYGOSSIP — The perfume Duchess Catherine wore at her 2011 wedding is still out of stock – six years on.
Sales for White Gardenia Petals by Illuminum have been a huge hit ever since the Duchess of Cambridge wore it when she tied the knot with Prince William and even a number of years on, it is still proving tricky for royal fans to get their hands on the much sought after scent.
A description of the product reads: “White Gardenia Petals eau de parfum is a delicate, refined scent, evocative of summer ambience. Featuring a floral bouquet of lily, jasmine and ylang-ylang on a base of amber wood, this intoxicating fragrance will entice the senses of both men and women alike.”
Whilst Michael Donovan, a spokesman for Illuminum, had said at the time: “There’s been a phenomenal response. Orders have come in from dozens of different countries, but most of our customers have come from the U.S. It’s charming to think that so many people abroad are interested in the wedding.”
It comes after Duchess of Cambridge’s hairdresser Richard Ward revealed that Catherine was very “calm” on her wedding day.
He said: “I have some incredible memories of that day. When she walked back into Buckingham Palace and her hair was all still in place, I cannot tell you the relief we all felt! I’ve seen brides far more nervous that Catherine! She was fantastic – she kept us calm, not the other way round!
“I wanted to show Kate the back of her hair [getting ready at Clarence House for the evening party] and I was struggling to walk with this 500-year-old mirror. He just said, ‘Let me give you a hand.’ And I said, ‘No, no, honestly.’ But he took one end and I’ve got the other and we’re shuffling along with this mirror – he’s great, he really is. It was the most incredible experience and I’ll never forget it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Prince Harry “stepped up to the plate” with the Invictus Games.
The flame-haired royal has been praised by Invictus competitor Stefan Leroy, who is a double leg amputee, for filling the “need” for something positive to encourage injured veterans.
Stefan said: “Adaptive sports are a huge part of how I stay positive … In a lot of situations, you don’t have that companionship. I live in Florida. I see other amputees very rarely, and when I’m running I’m the only amputee running in my town.
“To bring us all together again at Invictus is great to encourage that growth and that recovery. There was a need for this all along. And it wasn’t being filled. Harry filled that need, by stepping up to the plate and brought Invictus forward.”
And Stefan – who lost his legs when he stepped on an explosive during a rescue mission in Afghanistan in 2012 – also felt inspired by seeing others take part in the games.
He added to People magazine: “Prince Harry has created more than a regular Paralympic-style competition. You are competing for your country and your team but you’re also there for everybody else. Most of the sports I’m doing, I’ve seen others doing them. I think that’s part of Invictus. You see people and they are doing awesome and you think ‘I can give that a try.'”
The next Invictus Games is due to take place later this month in Toronto, Canada and it is thought to be when Prince Harry will make his first public appearance with his girlfriend Meghan Markle.

OHMYGOSSIP — Meghan Markle wants Priyanka Chopra to be her maid of honour.
The ‘Suits’ actress is reportedly set to announce her engagement to Prince Harry shortly and is said to want her close pal to be by her side when she does tie the knot.
Of maid of honour duties, a source said: “She plans to ask her best friend Priyanka Chopra.”
And Prince George and Princess Charlotte – the children of Prince Harry’s brother Prince William and his wife Duchess Catherine – are set to heavily feature in the big day.
The insider added: “Harry adores his niece and nephew and so does Meghan.”
However, Harry has reportedly set his sights on a quiet wedding.
The source told Life & Style Weekly magazine: “The last thing he wants to do was walk up the aisle of Westminster Abbey or St. Paul’s Cathedral with millions of people watching. It’s not like Harry’s ever going to be king.”
Meanwhile, actress Priyanka previously criticised the portrayal of her friend Meghan as she knows there is so much more to the actress than just being Prince Harry’s girlfriend.
She shared: “I don’t if I will get into trouble for this, but I have an opinion. I mean, she’s on the cover of Vanity Fair. It would have been nice to write about her not just her boyfriend. I’m just saying. I mean, she’s an actor, she’s an activist, she’s a philanthropist. I mean, she does so much more. It’s just a little sexist. Look, I’m a feminist and I love boys, okay … The only thing I’m saying is that there needs to be a certain sense of equality where a woman is not just a plus one, you know. It’s nice to be your own identity to.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge reportedly had to persuade her husband Prince William to have another baby.
The 35-year-old royal and the Prince already have Prince George, four, and Princess Charlotte, two, but recently announced they are expecting another baby, after the Duchess convinced the Prince of her desire to have another child.
A source said: “As one of three, Kate wanted at least three. William was more reluctant, not just because he was one of two, but because George was quite a difficult baby.”
However, Princess Charlotte has apparently proven to be much easier for the royals to handle and Prince William has subsequently grown to support the Duchess’ plans to expand their family.
The insider told the Daily Express newspaper: “Then they had Charlotte and she was a lot easier. Now the idea of a newborn doesn’t seem half as challenging, they’ve done it twice before and they’ve got all their staff in place.”
Earlier this month, meanwhile, the Duchess of Cambridge’s uncle said he thinks she and Prince William will have more than three children.
Gary Goldsmith was overjoyed to hear that his niece is set to become a mother for the third time and has predicted they will continue to add to their family.
The wealthy business owner said at the time: “It’s the best news I’ve had so far this year.
“She’s a natural mother.
“I wonder if she will stop at three? I doubt it. They are having such fun with the babies.”

The 32-year-old royal and the ‘Suits’ actress have been dating since the middle of 2016 and amid rumours the duo are preparing to announce their engagement, it’s been speculated where they would tie the knot.

Speculation over a potential royal wedding increased following Meghan’s much-discussed interview with Vanity Fair magazine, in which she admitted to being in love with the flame-haired royal.
