Kate Middleton Repeats Polka Dots For Friends, but Skips a Will and Harry Appearance

Kate Middleton isn't above wearing the same piece twice, and she once again proved that a fashion re-run can still be stylish when she attended a friend's wedding in a familiar Topshop polka-dot dress on May 11.

Kate Middleton isn't above wearing the same piece twice, and she once again proved that a fashion re-run can still be stylish when she attended a friend's wedding in a familiar Topshop polka-dot dress on May 11. She was first spotted wearing it on her Warner Bros. studio tour back in April. This time, it was the perfect look for the Spring nuptials of Kate's friends William van Cutsem and Rosie Keene, who tied the knot in Ewelme, England. Prince William was also at the bash, where he served as an usher, as was Kate's sister, Pippa Middleton.

The wedding took place while Prince Harry was on his US tour, but now the young royal is back by his brother's side. The two made an official visit to Tidworth, England, yesterday to open four new Help For Heroes recovery centres, which serve wounded service personnel. Kate skipped this event, but that doesn't mean that she hasn't been keeping busy over the past week following her pals' nuptials. Kate has reportedly been taking cooking classes with her new housekeeper, Antonella Fresolone. She also showed off her casual side when she wore sneakers on a shopping trip in London last Tuesday.

Prince Harry Gets the American Treatment With Football and Cheerleaders

Prince Harry continued his US tour yesterday by launching a race at the Warrior Games in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and picking up a few pointers on one of America's favourite pastimes — football.

Prince Harry continued his US tour yesterday by launching a race at the Warrior Games in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and picking up a few pointers on one of America's favourite pastimes — football. It was Harry's second day at the Games, which are a Paralympics-style competition for wounded and disabled veterans. He revealed that the Games are close to his heart, especially since he serves in the UK's Armed Forces and spent two tours in Afghanistan. Harry told a crowd while kicking off a cyclist race, "You've got the Olympics, you've got the Paralympics. There's no reason the Warrior Games shouldn't be recognised worldwide." Later yesterday, Harry visited the US Air Force Academy's football training centre, where he threw around a pigskin with players and formed a human pyramid with smiling cheerleaders.

It was a busy weekend for the Prince. On Sunday, Harry played in an exhibition sitting volleyball game with his fellow servicemen and women and launched the start of the Games alongside Olympic swimmer Missy Franklin.

Up next, Harry will return to the East Coast to visit areas in New Jersey that were destroyed by Superstorm Sandy and take part in a charity polo match in Connecticut.

A Prince at Play: Harry Rocks the Warrior Games During His US Tour

Prince Harry showed off his athletic skills in Colorado Springs, Colorado, yesterday when he played in a seated volleyball match at the Warrior Games, an Olympics-style event for disabled and wounded veterans.

Prince Harry showed off his athletic skills in Colorado Springs, Colorado, yesterday when he played in a seated volleyball match at the Warrior Games, an Olympics-style event for disabled and wounded veterans. He put a United Kingdom Armed Forces jersey over his fatigues to take part in the match, which involved him joking around with the other team and falling over himself to save the ball. Earlier in the day, Captain Wales, as he is known in the British Army, was on hand to light the torch at the opening ceremonies for the games and mingle with spectators and athletes. The competitors on the Warrior Games' British team reportedly found the prince easy to talk to and shared their stories. One British Army captain said, "He knows what it's like out there. He's been on the ground and in the air." Harry has previously served two tours in Afghanistan, the most recent one ending in January.

Yesterday marked the third day in Prince Harry's week-long tour of United States, which so far has taken him to Washington DC to meet with Senator John McCain and Michelle Obama on Thursday and had him singing "Happy Birthday" to Missy Franklin in Denver, Colorado, on Saturday. He'll soon head back to the East Coast where he will visit New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut over the coming days.

Prince Harry met with US Olympic swimmer Missy Franklin at a special reception in Denver yesterday as part of his US tour. He joined the crowd in singing "Happy Birthday" to Missy, who was celebrating her 18th birthday, and mingled with partygoers at the Sanctuary Golf Course. While this is the Prince's first official visit to Colorado, it isn't his first time in the state — he's been on rafting and ski trips with his brother Prince William and late mother Princess Diana. Soon, Prince Harry will attend the Warrior Games in Colorado Springs where he will watch over 200 wounded veterans compete in various athletic competitions.

His visit to Denver was only the second day of Prince Harry's US tour but he's already packed in quite a few events. He attended a charity event for the HALO Trust and met up with Michelle Obama in Washington DC on Thursday and he paid his respects to American veterans on Friday. Harry will also visit New Jersey to tour areas damaged by Superstrom Sandy and play at the Sentebale Polo Cup match in Connecticut.

Kate Teams Up With Will and Harry For a Muggle Movie Studio Tour

Kate Middleton was joined by Prince William and Prince Harry to attend the inauguration of the new Warner Bros.

Kate Middleton was joined by Prince William and Prince Harry to attend the inauguration of the new Warner Bros. Studios in London yesterday. She dressed up her baby bump in a polka-dot Topshop dress and a black Ralph Lauren jacket. The three young royals toured the studio, which had been decorated with pieces from famous films, including The Dark Knight Rises and the Harry Potter films. Kate, William, and Harry played with fake wizards' wands during a tour of the Harry Potter sets and William got in a bit of fun as he hopped on the Batpod while Kate giggled. Harry and Will also joked about the Batmobile while inspecting it during the tour. According to reporter Richard Palmer, Prince William asked, "You don't do baby seats for those cars, do you, by chance?" Will also joked that he hasn't yet told Harry that Harry Potter "isn't real."

The royal visit to the studios comes after a busy week of appearances for Kate and Harry. Kate made three visits over the week, including a stop by the National Portrait Gallery on Wednesday where she put her baby bump on display in a baby-blue dress. Prince Harry has been keeping busy as well, attending the London Marathon on Sunday and making a stop in Nottingham on Thursday. The week may also mark the end of one drama for pregnant Kate, as two indictments have been made in a French court over the publication of Kate's infamous topless photos. Both the photographer and the chief executive of the French magazine that first published the pictures are facing charges over the incident, and the court will reach a decision on June 5. In happier news, Will and Kate will celebrate their two-year anniversary on Monday, April 29.

Prince Harry Turns Up the Charm and Puts on the Gloves During Sweet Royal Visits

Prince Harry had a busy time in Nottingham, England, yesterday, making three special royal appearances.

Prince Harry had a busy time in Nottingham, England, yesterday, making three special royal appearances. First, Harry visited brain injury survivors at the Bradbury House, the new location for the brain injury association, where he donned blackout goggles, put his hand in gloves, and tried to change a fake baby's nappy while holding a weight in one hand, all in an effort to experience the physical limitations of brain injury victims. Harry then put on different gloves to hop in a ring at the KK Boxing Club with a few young boys before heading off to play DJ and present an in-house television show during a separate stop at the Confetti Institute of Creative Technologies.

Harry has been increasing his royal duties ever since he returned from his tour in Afghanistan. He attended the London Marathon on Sunday, despite worries that it would be a security target after the Boston Marathon bombings. He will also be making a trip to the US in May, visiting Colorado, Washington DC and New York on behalf of the charities and foundation he runs alongside Prince William and Kate Middleton, who showed off her baby bump on Wednesday at her own royal engagement. Harry will meet up with his brother and the Duchess very soon, as they are all slated to appear at the inauguration of Warner Bros. Studios in Leavesden tomorrow.
