UK newspaper phone hacking scandal now involves the royal family. Prince Harry was all smiles as he watched the England v Australia rugby match at Twickenham on Saturday afternoon. Watching from the stands, Harry looked to be in high spirits and very involved in the game as he clapped and chatted to fans around him. The prince looked dapper in a navy suit and red tie, and proudly wore a Remembrance Day poppy. Before the big match, Harry recorded a YouTube video to wish the England rugby team good luck ahead of the QBE internationals. "Really good luck for the autumn internationals," he said. "I think I'm only going to be here for the Aussie game but best of luck for Argentina and New Zealand as well. Make sure you win every single one of them," the 28-year-old added. Prince Harry cheered on the England team

Is Kate Middleton Changing Her Style? Royal Reportedly Advised to Wear More "Color and Pattern" Welcoming newborn Prince George wasn't the only special project Kate Middleton had in the works for 2013: Prince William's wife has spent the last 18 months renovating Apartment 1A in the famed Kensington Palace, where her new family of three will reside as Prince George grows. "Their home is beautiful. This is a very exciting time for them," a palace insider tells Us Weekly of the 20-room fixer-upper that Middleton kept tabs on during her pregnancy by scrolling through photos on her phone of antique offerings from the Royal Collection, fabric swatches and potential furniture. Kate Middleton and Prince William's Kensington Palace Apartment 1A boasts central air, encrypted WiFi capabilities, his and hers bathrooms and a panic room. Now that the family's moved into Princess Margaret's former home -- which needed a total overhaul once asbestos was discovered -- Middleton has added her own personal touches to make her husband's childhood digs special for their son. Among the amenities at KP? Central air, encrypted WiFi capabilities, his and hers bathrooms, three kitchens and a panic room. "Kensington Palace is safe and contained, and such a welcoming environment. You feel like you have freedom there," a former resident says.

Prince William and Kate Middleton are reportedly planing a star-studded charity concert to celebrate moving into their new home at Kensington Palace. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who moved into Apartment 1A with Prince George last month, have already lined up Bon Jovi and Taylor Swift to perform at their newly-renovated property, alongside British stars James Blunt and Eliza Doolittle. It has been reported that guests will be welcomed with a champagne reception in the King's Gallery ballroom and will then sit down to a pre-concert dinner before Bon Jovi kicks off the music in the royal gardens. The Winter Whites Gala is scheduled to take place on 26 November at the Palace's State Apartments. All proceeds will go to a cause very close to William and Kate's heart, the homeless charity Centrepoint. Greg James interviews Taylor Swift from Radio 1's Teen Awards 2013: Taylor Swift talks about the Winter Whites Gala for which she's scheduled to perform and Greg James gives her a royal etiquette lesson.

Princess Victoria of Sweden and her husband Prince Daniel were all smiles as they were greeted by a crowd of onlookers in east London on Thursday when they made an official visit to Hackney Community College. It was the college’s second royal visit in two days – as the Duke of York had visited just one day earlier. The official trip was to boost economic relations between Britian and Sweden. The couple were joined by Sweden's minister for trade, Ewa Bjorling. They enjoyed lunch at Level 39, in Canary Wharf, which sits at the heart of what is known as Tech City. "Fantastic lunch," said a fellow guest. "Great discussions on innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship."
