Prince William and Prince Harry are royals, yes, but on Friday, they paid their respects to the real king: Elvis Presley! Graceland was graced by the heirs to the British throne, who seem to be enjoying their time in Memphis ahead of Guy Pelly's wedding. William, 31, and his newly single brother, 29, were given a private tour of Elvis' former home and estate, which now functions as a museum and memorial to the late, great Southern superstar. Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie also reportedly paid a visit to the music mogul's home turf.  Princess Beatrice and Eugenie attend Graceland wearing Elvis sunglasses for Guy Pelly's wedding weekend along with one fun-loving friend who lifted her shirt for the cameras This isn't the only treasured Tennessee memory Wills and Harry have made already made leading up to Guy and Holiday Inn heiress Lizzy Wilson's nuptials, though. On Thursday night, the royals enjoyed some good old-fashioned barbecue from Charlie Vergos' Rendezvous restaurant in downtown Memphis. Mr. Vergos, who owns the beloved eatery, told E! News the princes were part of a group of 175 people or so who flew in for the Pelly-Wilson wedding party. "There were about 20 couples in attendance," he said. (Kate Middleton stayed back across the pond with Prince George, and Cressida Bonas is sadly no longer part of the picture, so William and Harry were both flying solo for the fete.)  The restaurant, which opened in the '40s, remained open to the public, but the royal bros and Co. had a private area to themselves upstairs. Dinner was buffet style, says Mr. Vergos, noting that partygoers had had their choice of ribs, pork shoulder, brisket and chicken. |

Cressida Bonas reportedly had a heart-to-heart with Britain's Duchess of Cambridge before she split with Prince Harry. Now sources close to Cressida say a chat with Catherine helped her to understand the pressures she'll be faced with while dating a royal. "Kate feels for Cressie. There's an awful lot of pressure when the whole nation is asking if asking if you're about to get engaged," the source revealed to British magazine Now. "She told Cressie how she benefited from taking time out when she was on a break from William. Kate said it might be best for them too." "Harry' s still besotted with Cressie, but the last thing he wants to do is put pressure on her. They're both very cautious but it wouldn't surprise me if they got back together," the source added. "Cressida loves Harry but sadly she was really struggled with the demands of dating a prince. The vast attention Cressida received after that first public engagement was a real eye-opener," an insider revealed to British magazine Grazia. “There will be another chapter to the Harry and Cressida love story,” an insider told Vanity Fair's Royal Watch. “Harry likes the drama of a breakup and then a make up.” |

Inspired by the US Warrior Games, The Invictus Games, which will be held in London this September, will involve more than 300 military personnel - some of whom have lost multiple limbs or their sight - from around the world. Competitors from 13 nations - including Afghanistan, Italy and New Zealand - will compete in eight adaptive sports including athletics, archery, wheelchair basketball, cycling, rugby, swimming and volleyball. Events will be staged in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park with track and field events at Lee Valley Athletics Centre.  Harry joked 'This is why I joined the army, I can't type fast' as he composed his message on an iPad In an impassioned speech at the top of the BT Tower in Central London, Harry said the games were a chance to support those who has suffered life changing injuries for whom sport plays such a important part in their rehabilitation. 'This is particularly true for those men and women injured in the service of their country. By the nature of their profession these men and women are often very active and undoubtedly highly competitive.  Invited to take hold of an iPad and send his first tweet, the prince looked nervous He added: 'The Games do not stand in isolation but are part of a broader legacy; there are many fantastic organisations supporting those leaving the Armed Forces, whether injured or not. But we want to encourage many more to support where they can. I hope many other businesses will follow BT and Jaguar Landrover's lead in recognising the fantastic contribution that these men and women can make to their organisations. The four days of inspirational sport in September will allow us to highlight and applaud the character of these service men and women in the iconic Olympic Venues here in London watched by the best supporters in the world but this is just the start. I hope everyone will show their admiration by snapping up tickets when they go on sale tomorrow morning and cheering from the side lines.' |
