My mother had just died, and I had to walk a long way behind her coffin, surrounded by thousands of people watching me while millions more did on television. I don’t think any child should be asked to do that, under any circumstances. I don’t think it would happen today.

 Britain’s Prince Philip to step down from official duties in August

Britain’s Prince Philip, the husband of Queen Elizabeth II, will no longer carry out public engagements from this fall, Buckingham Palace announced Thursday.

The announcement followed frenzied speculation among the media and the public after staff working at royal buildings throughout the country were called to the palace in central London for an emergency meeting.

“His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh has decided that he will no longer carry out public engagements from the autumn of this year. In taking this decision, The Duke has the full support of The Queen,” the palace said in a statement. (Photo: Pool)

We’re green with envy over Duchess Kate’s St. Patty’s Day coat.

Duchess Kate is beloved for recycling wardrobe pieces, but when it comes to St. Patrick’s Day attire, she’s been known to repeat the same shade, too.

She trotted out her go-to hue of forest green as she joined Prince William to hand out shamrocks at the annual Irish Guards St. Patrick’s Day parade in London Friday at their barracks in Hounslow, West London.

Kate accessorized her custom, military-style Catherine Walker coat with a matching hat and Gianvito Rossi suede pumps, and topped off the ensemble with an Irish Guard brooch. (Photo: Dan Kitwood, Getty)
